Miyc (Nov 17, 2008 at 7:22)

My local! Great to see it get a POD, but it would be better if the pic wasn't stolen from MBUK

duboiss (Nov 17, 2008 at 7:46)

great shot i love all the roots in the backround POD!

timlake (Nov 17, 2008 at 8:25)

timlake (Nov 17, 2008 at 9:51)

either you're joking. Or you're the biggest idiot on pinkbike, and that's saying something.

dushan-mandik (Nov 17, 2008 at 9:52)

he never took this pic so why give him pod? not fare on the origional photographer

bobbymobby (Nov 17, 2008 at 10:06) (Below Threshold)

MatthewBolton (Nov 17, 2008 at 12:06)

JoshJonesdh08 (Aug 15, 2009 at 17:16)

my local! that drop lands into a massive steep gully, some people wont even ride down it let alone drop into it

docker0141 (Sep 9, 2009 at 13:50)

i have that poster on my wall

jonmiles (Feb 7, 2009 at 3:09)

only issue with that shot is that it doesn't show how big and scary that drop actually is... i'd like to see one from further back looking up the gulley. i might take one and link it on here next time i'm up there just to give some scale. nice one chris... see ya up the quarry

Teejay05 (Feb 7, 2009 at 8:17)

You seen the massive poster of it in MBUK?? amazing quality...

SebRogers (Nov 17, 2008 at 4:06)

Hey guys, glad everyone likes the pic, cos it's mine

More of my stuff here: www.sebrogers.co.uk

Oh, and as a matter of courtesy us snappers appreciate a credit just as much as the riders, y'know ;-)

Teejay05 (Feb 4, 2009 at 5:48)

Excellent pic dude (Y) I just had to put it on PB so everyone can appreciate it. Major Props

bunkey (Nov 17, 2008 at 8:29)

mbuk, pretty shit magazine apart from shots like this. my only critisism would be that the contrast is a bit low and the brightness is a bit high.

ridingdirty55 (Nov 17, 2008 at 20:22)

amazing photo, great colors, lots of flow, props to the photographer

dasior (Nov 7, 2008 at 11:29)

mattraffnix (Nov 17, 2008 at 0:42)

dmrhucker (Jan 9, 2009 at 12:24)

haha, so true, so true

simi105 (Nov 17, 2008 at 12:10)

^I suppose you can do a 20ft+ hip gap on your crappy bmx then?

bigtard (Nov 17, 2008 at 23:19)

thats like a five footer buddy

haydendmorrison (Nov 22, 2008 at 10:41)

It isn't. Its probably about 15 ft, you cant land anywhere near the 'landing' you can see in the photo.I'll get some more descriptive photos when I go up there next and put them on here. Til then, you'll have to trust me on that one

demonbiker48 (Nov 17, 2008 at 19:06)

sick pod for sure. insane tree roots and scenery. very nice =)

snook (Nov 17, 2008 at 2:01)

Sweet gap, that mass of gnarled roots to the left are mad. Sweet pic.

snook (Nov 17, 2008 at 2:02)

I said "sweet" too many times then (once is enough).

almostwise Mod (Nov 17, 2008 at 4:03)

lol...but it is such a sweet sweet pic

pbuser176009 (Nov 17, 2008 at 11:04)

nice pick nice colours but i think it would be alot nicer if the shot was taken a little further out so you could see the downramp

jrtchisnall (Nov 3, 2009 at 9:39)

this trail is on the edge of extinction. not looking good

Teejay05 (Nov 3, 2009 at 10:05)

gutkrencher (Nov 17, 2008 at 4:48)

good photo. I still dont get why mbuk calls him britains best known freerider lol

mike-smith (Nov 17, 2008 at 16:53)

because he was the "origional" british freerider.
i dont get it, he doesnt even enter comps, just does photoshoots for a crappy mag

bigtard (Nov 17, 2008 at 23:17)

uh, thats the best mag going. Blows declines ass out of the water.

mike-smith (Nov 18, 2008 at 4:24)

might be better than decline but it aint got shit on Dirt

gutkrencher (Nov 18, 2008 at 7:17)

mbuk is total wank. Its for noobs, their articles are terrible and months late, the photos are always tilted, their reviews are biased to certain brands, they compare totally different types of bikes in their reviews, its filled with wrong information, doddy is an ugly cunt and its a terrible magazine

szop-anarchista (Nov 17, 2008 at 6:26)

colours are frrrriken amazing

specialH (Nov 17, 2008 at 16:45)

why the hell do you guys say this?!?!? U want negative props? Thats a sick photo, and u know it!

mad-dude-69 (Nov 17, 2008 at 17:09)

the photo is pretty good but that person is the worst rider ive ever seen he cant even whip and he doesnt even have triple clamps with full 200mm travel to absorb the bumps

haydendmorrison (Nov 22, 2008 at 10:45)

There are videos of him whipping. Maybe he has singles so he can whip? and anyway, there are millions and millions of riders worse than him

wild-thang69 (Nov 28, 2008 at 23:10)

yeah you must be one of them...

haydendmorrison (Nov 30, 2008 at 10:09)

Yep, and so are you probably. Judging by the fact I can't do that drop or whip I'd say I am worse than him

wild-thang69 (Nov 30, 2008 at 14:04)

hahaha so am i... ohh if only you knew who i was!hahaha i do actually race the world cup circut... travel around the world riding. i come on pink bike to post stupid stuff. so sorry if i offended you buddy. peace

haydendmorrison (Dec 1, 2008 at 13:39)

Sure you are...

mad-dude-69 (Dec 1, 2008 at 16:05)

ohhh if only you knew who you were talking to

wild-thang69 (Dec 1, 2008 at 23:03)

hhahah ohh i know... if only he did!! real he could beat me at racing... hahahahahah!

haydendmorrison (Dec 2, 2008 at 7:31)

Ok ok, I'm sceptical about your claims only because it's pretty unlikely that you are telling the truth. If you are then congratulations and good luck with races. The point was Chris Smith is better than the average rider.

wild-thang69 (Dec 2, 2008 at 15:33)

yeah chris smith isnt bad. sorry for being a dikhed.

freeridemanic (Dec 5, 2008 at 2:00)

appart from the fact that he's cris smith and he's the best freerider in england i think hes a tad bit better than you and to add another point you cant wipp on that drop because as soon as you land you have to turn

wild-thang69 (Dec 5, 2008 at 3:56)

dude, if you knew who i was, you would think twice about posting dumb ass shit like that.... id fuckn kick your ass and some stupid freerider anyday. and im not joking.
