YOU have NO f**king idea what you are talking about. It's not America that's the problem. We're there to protect our country, because radical terrorists think that it's ok to KILL hundreds or thousands of INNOCENT Americans. How would you like it if I said that Poland shouldn't have fought back in WW2, because it was wrong to defend their country like the US is doing? Unless you would rather be a slave to the Nazi's? And it's the parents of the kids that teach them to hate the West and want to kill us.
I agree that the Americans need to defend their country, but chill out dude there only stating whats true, look at that kid making the best of a bad situation, if you were in that situation you wouldnt be outside, no one would
I think Mr. Kona boy there needs to take his head out of his ass, he never said anything about americans. what a clown, l mean it's true but he never said it! lol
Not everyone in the middle eastern countries is an extremist (terrorist). That is what everyone thinks nowadays, but this is in no way true. A tiny tiny, almost microscopic portion of the middle eastern culture are terrorists. What many people do not understand also, is that there are extremest in all religions, people need to get their facts strait before going around judging entire cultures. Not everyone in the middle east hates the west. Get your facts strait before going around and making yourself look like an uninformed idiot danielkona.
I agree that this should be POD. I think we could make an exception for the no helmet rule here, considering that the child is in a warzone, there are 3 armored personal carriers with gunner's nests behind him, and he likely doesn't own or have access to a helmet.
Not wearing a lid out of negligence or vanity is one thing, but if you're in a war torn third world country I think you have bigger issues to deal with than protecting your head while biking.
For me this is a powerful image, no its not as wicked cool as an uberskilled DHer hucking something huge on his exotic race bike, but it got an emotional response out of me and made me think. To me thats as POD worthy as it gets.
Well put to say the least, but here is a better reason for POD. Ive been trying to get the kids over to do wheelies for 10 months straight with no results, this kid not only is holding it down w/ style but hes wearing sandals.
you f**king racist f**ker! how the hell do you find the odassity to say that. You have no f'ing idea what the f*ck is going down there. He's a little kid trying to make the best out of what he has. He has a ride, and rips it.
why is everything "racist"? big deal tomstreader simply used what the media show 24/7 about Iraq, IED IED IED!!! give the racism card a break its waaaayyyyyy overplayed, besides over here they discriminate based on religious sects.
c'mon now you Brits are supposed to be witty clever etc. one you spelled "yugeo" wrong and two dont you have anything more current in the arsenal guvna'?
idk why people are getting so bent out of shape because of other people dissing up this afghan kid...if you think about it, its his people who are causeing the world so much greif.....who cares if he rides a bike, because i know thats the only reason people care.
why do you say those kind of things? obviously his life is pretty much hell, and don't say hes the one causing it, hes like 10, he has no control over his country.
i wasnt saying he was the one causing it, but its his people who give the rest of the world horrible impresions. i personally dont blame people for hating on this kid. he may be innocent, and a good kid, but he could also be being trained on how to use an ak, and taking target practices on soldiers. just my 2 cents. you guys are entitled to your opinions just as much as i am
@TheSandman116 I actually dig that phrase a lot and I agree with the majority that Mtn-Bik3r is a f*cking bad-ass. I wish I could throw my deep thoughts into words so well. I'm still saying POD.
Helmet is the least of his safety issues...
I like how the description is Afghanistan OR Iraq...that's like saying Manhattan OR Denver, dunno which. Kinda creepily shows the extent of US imperialism.
I have seen more prejudice remarks on this picture than on Fox freaking news. You f*ggots need to grow the hell up and take all your insecurities out on yourself (suicide might work fine). I mean, what the f*ck is your problem? I have friends that have lost parents in the war, and it isn't a god damn joke. If you are like this when you don't have a keyboard in front of you, I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you..and personally kicking your ass.
Pardon my language, but the comments on this picture are damn unacceptable.
OMG Im really impressed about the speech of ShastaOutdoorMedia Just 17 years old and he got an respectable consciousness of history and social stuff! By the way danielkona Im totally agree with ShastaOutdoorMedia your speech is totally ridiculous you dont know anything about social conscience and anything about history!
mckenzie-dh"my brothers mate diesd from one of these and my brother is mental sccared for life from it so shut the f*ck you polish c*nt !" who do you called a c*nt you twat? who do you blame for that? did I send them to f@ckin afghanistan?they went there to fight for oil so you can drive your car cheap so dont give me this shit you idiot...
I dont want sound like an a*shole but the truth is: All countries involved in war e.g.: USA and Britain are there not to defend us from "terrorists" nor to help their people. They are there because war makes money which goes to the people that own the artillery factories (the same who made the war happen.) and the people who are gonna suck dry all the resources becuase they are greedy bastards who only want money and control over our asses.
9/11 was an inside job just like the Gulf of Tomkin which was DECLASSIFIED. Sadly almost everyone fell for it.
The USA doesnt give a shit about anyone, even their own people! if they did they wouldnt have designed the economy to collapse in the first place.
Ever heard about FEMA CAMPS? That is where most of americans are gonna end up in. Do you know why? Because people are too ignorant to the see problem and they would rather watch Jersey shore and believe that a few cavemen with box cutters hit 75 percent of their targets than do some simple research and use common sense!
This doesn't deserve picture of the day at all, it doesn't matter if he's from a 2rd world country, he's wheeliing WOW? half the people on this site can do that, fair dues he's from a poor country and a war zone but that doesn't give it credit for POD, something like this is P.O.D material:
You do realize you compared a 10 year old Afgan/Iraq boy to Danny Macaskill...that's like saying Bill Gates is a better person than you because he has more money, your comparing irrelevant points. It's not about how much air or what super crazy trick he's doing, it's about the meaning and what emotions you can see in it, which you clearly are looking past. Peace.
Nope, I'm not comparing him to Danny Macaskill I'm just pointing out a POD shot, not some kid doing a wheelie, shit do you want me to go outside and take a photo of the kids down my street pulling a wheelie I bet that'll get called for POD!! (Although it may not be a good idea photographing kids ) Yeah it's good to see that there's people in countries suffering from wars riding, but it doesn't give this photo POD worthiness compared to all of the brilliant pictures on here!
He didn't want to do this to get Picture of the freaking day on Pinkbike. He did it for fun...because he doesn't let a war stop him from enjoying what he does. He has passion. Hell yeah, there's a TON of pictures on this site with POD potential, but I can guarantee that none of them send a message like this.

yeh i know the stats, its not just the KIA's it's the wounded etc like that that make the numbers aswell. its even included in training now, how to react and deal with an IED attack, even training scares the shit out of us.
"countrys/allies" should be changed to "rich/powerful". If we wanted to stop terrorism, build some f*cking schools, don't kill kids' parents so that they'll then become terrorists themselves.
You don't get it. Their parents are the one's that are making IEDs and killing Americans that sacrifice their lives so you can sit here and write stupid comments. Have you even heard of 'Jihad?' Radical Muslims believe that it calls them to kill all nonMuslims. SO it's the parents of the kids that kill americans and raise their kids to kill Americans. And besides, the US has tried to build up Iraq and Iran. They just don't know how to take care off the buildings and they become rundown and then get closed. I'd really love to see you go out there and just for a week and then you'd really understand what it is like to be in constant fear of being shot at or blown up and ANY moment. IT"S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT SCREW UP AMERICA 'Mr. ShastaOutdoorMedia.'
That is the most ridiculous stereotype I've ever heard, if I hadn't have ever watched private media. The majority of terrorist attacks in the past 4 decades have not been perpetrated by muslims...did you know that? Look on the .gov webpage for international terrorist attack reports. No, because that would make the stereotype seem silly and make it harder for people like you to justify murdering women and children (and who forgets about the men?!!). I bet that you think that your religion dictates that you should kill or convert other religions too (like islam!!). Remember the crusades? That was Christianity vs Islam round 1 and Christians kicked ass. Islam has barely gotten back to even after that shit.
And what's this shit about "they don't know how to take care of buildings"???? They had the first civilization of the ancient world!!! The reason why their buildings are falling down IS BECAUSE YOU'RE DROPPING BOMBS ON THEM. Stop being a racist child killer and grow a conscience Mr. America. Religion is just a justification for killing people, the real reason they want to blow your ass to bits is because THAT'S WHAT WE DID TO THEIR WHOLE FAMILY.
Just like Americans got after 9/11...GOD BLESS AMERICA! Same as "Allah is on our side".
As long as you're giving lectures please explain 9 year old girls getting married, abused, beaten, and chained in basements. First hand accounts btw, not made up stories in the media.
Are you daft, sir? Did you miss the fact that the child is in a 3rd world warzone and there are 3 armored personal carriers with gunner's nests behind him?
Its not about the kid manualing, its about the circumstances under which he's manualing.
