This pic would be cool if we hadn't seen anything like it before, but we've all seen the Red Bull Gold Mine thing, so it doesn't really appeal to me as unique.
why do people criticise the picture, yes, i agree it has slightly bad lighting, so, its in a mine, its going to effect it, and the guy who posted the picture didnt make this picture pod,
please just stp dissing it, its a great pic and it obviosly deserves pod or it wouldnt be pod, give it possitive comments like most people
No matter how you look at it thats sick. Definitly a place where most people have never taken a bike and cool composition as well. The light plays off the walls well and being able to see the lights farther down the tunnel in the black adds to the mystery of whats ahead. Great shot and congratz on POD
ok, maybe im the only one to say so but, great picture, maybe pod on a photography website, but last i checked this was a bike website, hes riding on flat ground next to a trafic flare, common
man that has to be the stupidest pick in the world man no offence but common hes riding beside a traffic flare like common it would have benn coll if he was wheeling out of it
i thought they already did something like this... everyone's saying it's called the red bull goldmine... i remember it being called the Red Bull Racedown... am i wrong?
What are you saying, he's got about 40 pics of his bottlerocket and a load of insane riding shots! His photos are "dabomb". Okay, you're right - they suck.
ok then, tell me the strengths of this photo, we can see the rider, we cant see the bike, theres no real action to it apart from the fact hes going down a mine/tunnel and theres some smoke. yay. its not even a high quality picture either, the resolution is poor and the lighting is pretty shit (even for being in a mine) i never claimed to have better pictures, i just said that this photo is crap. which it is in my opinion. a dec*nto, why do you always have to bitch? i think your life must be really unsatisfying if you have to take out all your aggression on a mountain biking website.
why do I always bitch? i'd say your original comment was a bitch and because you were called out for it you felt you had to come back and properly explain yourself. And if you see my comment as "agressive" then you must have had a really sheltered life. I was poking fun, taking the piss. I do worst to my mates. Yes, I like to start up debates if I disagree with someone, but I've seen your comments in the forums and you are no better. There are a load of comments on your page from a guy you abused because he said "bottlerockets arent good DH bikes" - oh, the horror! It takes one to know one.
norcoornothing: 2 of yours are too photoshopped...cool effects but not necessarily a quality photo. The one of Paul B is really good though, and should be a POD.
