POD Photo of the Day on May 24, 2015

Selected by Matt Wragg - While the internet may be killing off vertical shots, they are certainly a great tool to demonstrate how nasty a root section like this is.

These photos are the best, no fancy jumps with black and white tree shots, just a incredible photo of nature given which also contains a crap-ton of gnar, and a pretty confident rider. This earned a rightful spot of POD.

If only there were trails like this where I live.

In the spirit of Builder, make 'em.

There ISN'T trails like this in PG?

ride-pg (May 24, 2015 at 8:40)

No there is not much rock in PG, it's mostly dirt.

Ottway actually has a surprising amount of tech if you have a trail bike to pedal up. And cranny has a few rocky sections, short though

I love a good portrait orientation. This is a fabulous shot.

I like how the mossy rocks in the foreground seem to be hiding more gnar. The roots are everywhere, it's like Jumanji.

@Clarkeh It's not that easy! When your only 5 Persons riding bikes, it's not easy to build a sick trail!

nobikenofun- Really? I've built a couple trails by myself years ago. Granted one of those was flowy and part tech singletrack (about 2 miles of it) for a local race, and the other was a freeride trail with over 700ft. length of elevations/ladder bridges that took a couple weeks, its far from impossible to build a sick trail and you have 5 people to help, that's tremendous! That's more than enough. Go out and try it. You guys will have a blast and its a good activity for when its raining out.

Portraits FTW, haha! Nice composition! I love this crop much better compared to the square on the previous page.
