 This guy is amazing! I dont know about you guys but I dont see people hit drops that big on hardtails very often. MAD PROPS DUDE
  • 665
 i like how in the description it says "photoshopped", but i guarantee 20 people will still say it.
  • 182
 yeeeh dope shit props for hittin that on a hardtail
  • 124
 I'll say it for the guy that usually says it... "Thats sicker than maggots ground up into a milkshake!
  • 144
 i daresay by 'photoshopped' he's just increased the contrast/hue/ shit like that, to bring everything out better
  • 103
 after looking closer at the front wheel, i take it back
  • 909
 hahaha you know dude. when you can come up with better material then this well then i have nothing to say to you but by seeing your dumbass comment i can already tell you dont have shit. this photo is EPIC a hell dude.. you need to go to get somwhat educated on photo/mounatinbike/NOT MAKING STUPID ASS COMMENTS.. haha ok seriusly .. huge props man the drop alone on a hard tail deservs pod. sorry about bad grammer
  • 416
 i love how you capitilize everything. and im sorry dude but i just find it really lame how you cant appreachate a photo where someone is hucking anything bigger then you could even ever dream of. and if you think you can come up with better shit then this then lets see it cause from your profile i dont see it

Smile but theres always some a*shole trying to stand up and be a hero and go completely off subject and trash someone they don't knowWink rock on hardcore.

 dude. i would totaly not call it being a hero. im just saying this is a good photo. and the way you dis it just ant good. im done bullshitting you can say what ever the hell you want.. i think you can tell by your already neg 20 prop on yuo first comment that you are wrong

 its never wrong to have your own opinion, and its a photo.. i agree its just not a "good" photo. so many more pic's on this site that better describe mountain bikes.. like injured riders who are paralyzed and are still riding. thos type of photos deserve pod.. not photoshoped pictures. this doesn't inspire anything.
  • 203
 pinkbikehaz... its not that big for a hardtail and overall its not a huge drop.

btw its an awesome pic... props to rider and photographer.Wink

 Tbf though this isn't the best POD ever
  • 2016
 double-d-mang adn totalbikerdude, can't you bitch about each other somewhere else, and if you don't like the pic don't totally rip it he is only posting a pic at the end of the day...

 This dude's just trying to be like schwarzer you're doing it all wrong man

 this calls for one thing and one thing only: a quote from my little brother.

 omg all of u are retards its photohoped it says in the description.... why have u voted a photoshopped picture as pod and write comments like this dudes so good to do it on a hardtail.
  • 140
 Jimmy, u say that as if photoshoping is bad! whats wrong with the style or design of a pic enhanced with photoshop?

How ever, this photoshop is awful. It looks like it once was a half decent picture, but now it looks crap.

Worst POD in a long time!

 not tryin to hate on him hittin a big drop on a hardtail but i used to syuff that big on my hardtail, still nice though

 fuck this is a gay photo
  • 84
 Everyone seems to think just because it says photoshopped it means he didn't do the drop. When this guy says photoshopped, he means he enhanced the original photo's color, clarity, contrast and may have added effects. Don't be fooled into thinking he didn't do the drop just because it says photoshopped.
  • 33
 He did do the drop. If you look at the edge of the drop, you can see where dirt is falling down the face where he just dropped.
  • 42
 C'mon guys settle down, don't start calling eachother nazi's or french fries. This guy did the drop and sure its photoshopped, but isnt every other picture on pinkbike? I think what makes this worth pod is that its so different to all the others. Give this guy a chance im sure hes feeling bad enough already with the flaming and bad comments here...
  • 22
 omg i HATE how evryones like so big for a ht u dotn see that,you goofs are hiding under rocks,i swear thats like 6-8 feet.peopel hit the rd gap and gapotron on a ht,and acutly the rd gap,thats like 20x30 to a harsh landing.
  • 40
 The people who hit gap-o-tron are pros and also it's sculpted to be a perfect landing. The whole point of this POD is that he isn't a pro and this is natural terrain. PODs whould be very boring if they were always pro's on sculpted terrain. I think it's great when an every-day person can make POD doing something that most people wouldn't do. I also don't care that his photoshop isn't "professional." Everyone is ripping on him cause his photoshop isn't top quality but who cares? The essence of the photo is what matters here. Everyone who is dissing this guy and this photo aren't true riders.
  • 22
 weak POD
  • 10
 The dirt shooting up behind him is sick!
  • 10
 then go look it up and quit bitchin! its pod and its not gonna change til tomorrow wow, big deal, he blurred the background and some of the foreground and then sharpened the rider and the dirt... big deal! if i want to, i do the same to some of my pics!, its for a thing called emphasis! or just purely for fun... sometimes a shot can come out looking good... kinda like this one in certain tastes.
  • 20
 that wasnt a very good point downhill guy
  • 01
 in my humble opinion, the term "photoshopped" should be used for pics that have been cut and pasted or just fake period, not enhanced...
enhanced photos should be labled "edited"...

just to clear up confusion for the noobs and prevent pedantic b!tch parades
  • 01
 www.pinkbike.com/photo/2166854 i feel thats my evidence,a pro sure,but how much better!
  • 00
 dude, a*sholes like you are the people that give pinkbike the shit rep that it has everywhere.
you know, people who bitch about everything and dont ride for sh!t... they call themselves studs to make it seem like they are gnarly or something, when really theyre just pedantic retards with no life outside of whining on the internet.

and you tell me to shut the f*ck up?

i said that the pic looks good "IN CERTAIN TASTES"!!!! this doesnt mean it has to be yours!
i said go look it up and quit bitchin because in a nutshell, thats what everyone else was saying to you!
nobody wants to hear that sh!t, and it just makes you shittier in everyone elses eyes...

spectech said it right, youre probably just another rich ass californian who buys sh!t left and right on credit and then thinks youre superior over everyone because you have a stock kona and you ride it off the curbs in front of your house
  • 10
 this picture is a joke
his fork is barely compressed
no matter how stiff his fork is,
there's no way he hit a 10ish foot drop to almost flat and it barely went down
nice try buddy
  • 82
 to all the retards who dont know what photoshop is, photoshop is used for picture editing to change the hue/staturation/colours or to crop it and so on
photoshopped doesnt just mean someones been cut out of one picture and put into another, thats called cutting and pasting and its extremely hard to do well and look real, this photo is obviously 10000% real! cos of the dust from the wheels ect.
props to rider mad drop for a hardtail.
  • 31
 Haha, yeah...I love the way everyone says "PHOTOSHOPPED" , but 99% of them have never seen or opened pshp... oh well there will always be idiots in the world, no need to make a fuss about them tho.
  • 12
 Oh & it's called compositing...not cut & paste Wink
  • 03
 no shit ya dum twit i know what photoshop is i just dont beleive that a photo should be altered or how ever u spell that dam word... in order to get photo of the day if you get my drift
  • 134
 pod
  • 32
 Next POD from Serfer - GratulationsWink
  • 33
 Yeah, gratulations for another POD !! Great shot, it's so expressive photo!
  • 40
 I am really on the fence with this picture. As far a composition goes, it's a pretty shitty picture. As cool as it looks, it was probably snapped a bit late. It is a pretty gnar drop for a hardtail, but realistically bigger shit has been hucked on hartails. I'm not even going to touch the whole photoshop debate today. Now that I think about it more, I don't like this POD. The riding is on point, but the photo itself is lacking. Better luck tomorrow.......GARBAGE.
  • 40
 Have you people that say photshopped...photoshopped...ever think of looking at his album...

serfer.pinkbike.com/album/freeride

hes obviously a good rider and he didnt use photoshop to fake the jump...he used photoshop to add effects to the picture....
DURRRRRRRRRR
  • 113
 sweet :] nice shot :]
  • 94
 good work, but i dont think photoshopped pics should get pod unless they are really well edited
  • 20
 because it says photoshopped doesnt mean the whole things photoshopped...he probably did do that drop...but it says photoshop because the photographer used photoshop for effect...usually when i take pictures not everything but the rider is blurry...
  • 20
 Exactly. Everyone seems to think just because it says photoshopped it means he didn't do the drop. When this guy says photoshopped, he means he enhanced the original photo's color, clarity, contrast and may have added effects. Don't be fooled into thinking he didn't do the drop just because it says photoshopped.
  • 20
 serfer, nice edit by photoshop (ps) Smile

Looks like cool Smile but as you see - here`s, on pinkbike.com we have lots of f*cked up ppl who think you cutted pic from one photo,paste to background and used few layers to blur it Smile

good to see, the riders, want to have better photos than another riders,like a contest Smile

Gratz for you , you must have some courage to jump over that drop Smile


Ps. stop posting under this photo like a phorum ! -.-
  • 00
 i understand that he did it.... just dont like the idea of editing a piticture to get props from people....
  • 31
 You fully riders have to understand, that isn't a big drop for a hardtail. I've constantly gone off 6' drops to flat on a hardtail, and while it may be a tad on the rough side, you do have legs and arms to compensate. I'm pretty sure many freeride hardtail riders can back me up in saying that 10' is easily achievable with a slanted landing, you guys just need to learn how to ride.
  • 12
 agreedBig Grin
  • 21
 Oh, i wish i had spots like these where i live. The soil in the landing looks quite forgiving.

Nice picture Smile

And btw: "Photoshop" isn't a synonym to "fake". You can use photoshop for cropping the picture, adding light-fx etc.
  • 20
 Exacly!! On Pinkbike photoshop = evil !
  • 00
 yeah, but why would the guy write "photoshopped" unless it was fake?
  • 10
 Beeing photoshoped doesn't mean it's fake! The guy just did some colour balance, blurs, glows and changed the sky. If you take a look at his album you'll see what I mean. Wink BTW, if you knew a bit about PS, you would notice most of the PODs are photoshopped.

Sick pick though. It certainly deserves POD!! Big Grin
  • 10
 nice pic. i do think the blur function was misused, causing the depth of field to look unnatural, like its a tiny rider on a tiny surface. if anything, the foreground should be slightly out of focus, and definately not the ledge of the drop that he is still in line with. but i can see that maybe you used the blur to hide the edge for the sky replacement you performed. masking trees is hard, but with a little more practice youll get it. coloring looks good, and definately a nice drop. next time just work with the actual picture instead of trying to change too much in ps. cheers!
  • 00
 is that what he did? replace something with the sky? now that I think about it, it does kinda look like he did.
  • 21
 I would agree that this is a Sick drop on a hardtail, BUT HATE THE PHOTO, the photoshopping is totally overdone, makes the shop look completely fake. Yeah all us photographers use photoshop is increase sharpening(all digital cameras come out a little soft!), contrast etc, but this is just WAY overdone. I'd like to see the original pic, I'm certain it would look WAY BETTER!
  • 10
 You can do anything on a hardtail as a full suspension, you just need to be a better biker. This drop isn't huge, but it is a step down drop, but it's in sand. It's about how it looks, it would need a wider shot but that would make the drop look smaller so it's a small pic. Props Though How, or what you did.
  • 53
 when he says its photoshopped he doesnt mean cut and paste. he used it to blur the backround and sharpen the rider. makes it look cooler.
  • 43
 exactly
  • 34
 yea i dont think cut and past pictures would be made pod lol. hes just increasted contrast hue etc
  • 41
 dzieci patrzcie na komenty , po co piszecie ze photoshopa skoro serfer napisal w jednym komencie ze bawil sie photoshopa ;/

 this photo sucks! looks like it has been taken on a crappy camera!!! no way POD!!!!
  • 10
 funny reading through this the amount of people who dont realise this picture is photoshopped.... epic though great work on the edit but surely a real pic should be used 4 POD
  • 00
 man thats f*cking sick on a hardtail props for it and for all u dumb ass fools for thinking photo shopped means copy and pasted u can shove it up ur ass and even if it was copy and pasted props for doing such a good job and geting the dust perfect but iitts real so .... yeah
  • 30
 this photo just sucks... its self admittedly photoshopped and yet its still blurry and crappy quality... how is it pod?
  • 11
 word.

 This is different than all the POD's weve had recently. Sick shot and go NS!
  • 21
 oh man this pic is awsome lol you have got balls lol well maybe not anymore but they still have their presense when your hucking stuff like that on a hardtail lol AWSOME POD
  • 20
 i dont like the pic i mean doing that on a hard tail ic class but the picture itself is horrible
  • 00
 exzactly a real "Picture/photo" isnt photoshoped suck a dick photoshopers haha.... and yes once again i know what photoshop is and have used a program in that context so suck my penis
  • 11
 Not the best imo,just a little bit to distracting.

But still cool nonetheless.

And props for hucking on a hardtail! Smile

And to all the noobs,photoshop is used alot in professional photography!

 how the hell did this get POD it's crap
  • 12
 Photo shopped, the rider is detailed and the scene is blurry. Don't believe me? look how dark the dirt is and how the dirt behind is going back wards lol, this is the shittiest photo shop I've ever scene.
  • 20
 do u not know about f*cking panning with the rider to keep the rider not blurd???
lets the senery get blurd but keeps the rider nice n crisp
  • 20
 Mavster, you hit the nail on the head. It's nice to see someone is not retarded.
  • 00
 im sure the original picture was completely in focus. the blur that you see is a gaussian blur, not a motion blur. it is clearly a post production effect. on a slow drop such as this one, a motion blur from panning to keep the subject in focus would not produce a large amount of actual blur. it is a photoshop, and a poor one at that. but we all gotta start somewhere. im sure the guy who made this one is going to learn some better fundamentals before posting another pic, look at all the critisism hes getting. lol. ouch.
  • 10
 why is everybody taking this seriously? even the description says its photoshopped!
