in the picture before this one you can see why he went over the bars. He lent so far back he was sitting on the wheel, slowing him down just before 'droping in'.
still, awesome shot. and i hope he went back up and nailed it the second time. plus props.

Did anyone think at first the picture was taken at an angle? I tried to tilt my head to find the right angle but then saw the trees :L That looks damn steep.

+1 for shred-nz-media. In the sense that PODs are (strangely, according to me) not always great pictures from a purely photographic viewpoint. Sometimes it's a bad shot but a good MTB moment. Like this one. Though I'm not sure the rider really had a good moment here 
but you know what I mean I guess.

Rider: "In 4 Years this shot will make POD, then who's the noob?"....
PS... Lets just assume that "shred-nz" will make ignorant comments on all future PODS and VODS.

kona dude...the demo was the top of its class when it came out, im sure you have seen the collective with matt hunter riding it like its a feather, if you can't ride it, you're just making excuses. apart from that... strong or stronger than any bike being made today, i should know, ive got one 
in conclusion, they are sick bikes which give you a tonne of confidence, dont diss

rydindirty.... it's called opinion.
I don't see any reason why this should get POD. PODs should have good scenery, good riding, and good photographic skills. At least one of those, preferably more.
This has none.

Top ten responses: go! 10) What we really can't see is the bear about to catch him at the bottom. 9) This is a bad way to commit suicide. 8 )I knew I saw a right turn only back there. 7) This is how my first day of vacation is going; downhill. 6) Maybe my friends will catch this picture and post it on the internet. 5) the13thing "I now know the source of the trick name...SUICIDE No Hander... 4) Did I pack an extra pair of underwear?. 3)vineet "O shit!!!". 2) I hope Obama care will cover this! 1) If I get this shot just right, pinkbike will select it as POD!
