POD
Photo of the Day on
May 23, 2014
Selected by Matt Wragg - Why do we have a ski shot as POD today? Because it's a stunning photo, that's why. Breathtaking stuff and I particularly like the way the light catches the snow in the foreground.
( 17 PODs )

Granted, its a great shot. But there are TONNES of "Stunning" photos out there, this is a mountain biking website. Go to white lines or something if you want more shots of Snow sports.... Theyll be a "stunning" football shot as POD tomorrow.

I love how some of you act like your day has totally been ruined if you don't like the POD. You're right, there are TONNES of stunning photos so go ahead and look at them too. Maybe take all the effort it took to vent your frustration and show some appreciation for the photographers instead. Good job Steve (and Matt).

At first i was on line with jdotr.. but then. HEY:. positive karma, and look on the brite side.. it IS a stunning photo, and as one who also likes to take pictures its great to be able to see the stats on the right side.. so i gotta go with you general-lee and give you a green arrow :-)))..

karma is bullshit, im just saying surely this website is primarily based on Cycling? it defeats the point of having a cycling hub, pinkbike shouldn't conform to the worlds generalisation of extreme sports. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of skiing, and most other 'extreme sports', but there is a time and a place, today isn't the time and pinkbike isn't the place...
Also, I did acknowledge the fact that its a great photo, so your frustration point is invalid!

I think it's great how much people care about what we select as POD, whether I always agree is not the point. I personally think any aspiring mountain bike photographer should be looking outside mountain biking for inspiration, and sure, bike shots should be 99% of what runs as POD, but for that other 1% why not run breathtaking photos, regardless if they have a bicycle in them or not.

So are we going to start seeing Blake Jorgenson's ski photos up here too then? Mt. Cayley is a gorgeous peak regardless, it's probably the most published mtn from the Sea to Sky area - on par with black tusk.

If he submits them and they're this beautiful, I would make one of his shots POD down the line - his MTB work is rather nice as it is.

This is unfortunate proof that DH mountain biking is a dying sport. Pinkbike is trying to diversify its audience before the drought hits
