Malc West in Hertfodshire, United Kingdom - photo by castfrz

And the landing was still just too soft with both wheels digging in about 3"! Well held on Malc West! So this will have more work on it before it is ridden again or the higher settings are attempted ;) #Demondirt #riderscompany

POD Photo of the Day on Dec 26, 2015

Selected by Tyler Maine - This image tells so much more than a successful drop by a rider. The drop itself has height increments built into it so that you can increase or decrease your take off - thinking ahead for future progression. Freeride is alive and strong with this rider.

no, i don't believe it , its not possible that 17riders ride so close from each other and wear exactly the same gear and have all the same bike, fake

Were the jewels knocked pretty hard on this one? I hope not but it looks that way. I've gotta know!

castfrz (Dec 26, 2015 at 4:23)

Ha, you'd think but no he managed to keep them safe!

Sweet for Jackson to get pod shame they don't explain the story behind the build, the drop was built to be adjustable so the rider could chose what size to hit between 20 and 30 feet vertical

Congrats on the PB POD dude!

air suspension and pumped up to high psi will do wonders. you will roll out of that with minimal head slap. unless of course you enjoy a good shittack.

Nice! You did manage to get POD, sorry I doubted you, it is an awesome shot.

future freeride is, land on nose with front brake initiated, front flip to stomp in the flats. Now thats a photo of the day

As Clarkson would say "Right in the plums!"
Cool shot, good to see AM rider shots - like old TW Snow/skate mags!

So what did he actually do wrong on the landing? position looks ok just before doesn't it?

Gnarly.

POD? Really? Sorry to be a hater. This is a rad bit of riding and all, but the picture isn't exactly that amazing.

It's winter

I like when not just the big names get pod cause you usually see those shots on the home page anyway. Ballsy amateur photos are really refreshing sometimes.

guancho-libre (Dec 26, 2015 at 14:02)

@gabriel-mission9 is right, I mean look at how good his photos are. He clearly knows what he is talking about.

gabriel-mission9 (Dec 27, 2015 at 5:56)

@Gauncho-libre

Which do you think is the better picture, the Mona Lisa, or a drawing of a cat done by my three year old niece?

One is clearly the more artistically skillful picture, but I suppose seeing as you aren't one of the great painters of the world, you couldn't possibly have an opinion right?

guancho-libre (Dec 27, 2015 at 10:02)

Honestly I never liked the Mona Lisa....not a big fan of cats either.
