amajors (May 18, 2009 at 2:29)

sick, didnt even now radloff still existed!! pod for sure

ericpalmer (May 18, 2009 at 4:05)

Yeah, they moved it more in the open & messed it up in the middle coz they had to cut it in half & weld it together & now it has a wave in the middle & is getting really rusted & dodgy, but still rideable.

rmb-396 (May 20, 2009 at 0:00)

sickk

wormarse (May 20, 2009 at 4:20)

ERIC!!!! WTF MAN! Congrats 3 PODs in May, that's gotta be a record.

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 7:40)

haha, thanks man. Am pretty amped... would be keen to see what the top 5 POD list looks like.

mtnbker395 (May 20, 2009 at 7:45)

I'm getting bored with these kind of PODS.

great picture though

Mazekwon (May 20, 2009 at 7:48)

What kind of POD's? huge tricks, with great photgraphy?

mtnbker395 (May 20, 2009 at 9:20)

I wasn't saying it wasn't sick. notice the "great picture" part.

I just think pinkbike could mix up the POD's a little more.
throw in some 4X and DH

wormarse (May 20, 2009 at 13:22)

there are tonns of dh pods mate

stp1-joseph (May 20, 2009 at 8:46)

the water mark is great as it doesnt spoil the photo and it also gives the owner the identity

intense-identity (May 20, 2009 at 0:02)

amajors (May 20, 2009 at 1:02)

more epic than a perectly composed picture of a double whip??? give the man some respect!!
a well deserved POD

intense-identity (May 20, 2009 at 9:36)

yeh man im not saying he hasnt got sick skill, and he will probs be bettter than i ever will, but we need more epic photos for POD, freeride + DH + 4X

recklessness (May 20, 2009 at 5:40)

^^Link Fail!!

Eric: 11 PODS.
The Rest of Us: Probably 0.

Way to rock it Eric (again). You should take a week off and give the rest of the picture snappers a chance!!! LOL. Keep up the solid work.

:joint:

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 6:05)

Shit, try this... bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=3538734766&size=large&posted=1
haha, thanks man... I actually have taken a bit of a break since dirtopia... think this is the only pic I've put up since... well, besides the pics of me & it's quite an old one... did a shoot with Malcolm for an interview & this is one of the angles we weren't gonna use, so decided to put it up... folded & went for a shoot yesterday again haha

:#:

recklessness (May 20, 2009 at 6:08)

Your trash = our PODS????? LOL.

recklessness (May 20, 2009 at 6:08)

(That link is still showing no love.)

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 6:14)

haha, yeah, summin like that hahaha

shit... the last try... check the pic on my flickr & see if the link there doesn't give it up for u. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericpalmer/3538734926/

candymuffin (May 20, 2009 at 6:15)

yeah, eric. guess i'm not the only not getting through to those big on blacks....

and 11????
oh... sorry, i have been riding, must have missed one...

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 6:19)

yeah, seems that site is buggin out... prob something to do with flickr & access, co I get to it fine on both our PC's.

Yeah, I almost missed one... Justin's 1 foot table at the dirty freeride

candymuffin (May 20, 2009 at 6:27)

ooo that freeride was dirty! perhaps dirtier for me than others though...

who8mycrayon (May 20, 2009 at 7:14)

ChrisRussell500144 (May 20, 2009 at 8:04) (Below Threshold)

in my opinion there are much better pictures on this site. nothing against eric palmers skill, but he's proof that a bit of brown nosing will get you POD round here...

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 8:13)

I agree with you that there are better pics than this one on here, but I didn't choose this & if you think me being friendly to friendly ppl is brown nosing, by all means... think that, but while most of the younger guys are trying to be all hardcore & cool & start shit with eachother I've made friends with quite a few of the guys on here... & 1 of them happens to be a mod, but the other 10 or so aren't. So it seems that there might be a bit of jealousy in ur comment? or just plain bitchiness, which isn't lacking on here either.

ChrisRussell500144 (May 20, 2009 at 8:38) (Below Threshold)

in not trying to start anything... and why would I be jealous when i dont upload anything close enough to pod standards. im simply saying that rarther than the moderators actually bothering to look for a decent picture anymore... they wait for people to ask if there pic can be POD, or they simply look through there friends list like in this case and go "o that one looks ok i guess". and hey presto, this is the result.

i think that REALLY pod should be decided on a community voting system. most number of favs or something.

11 3

ericpalmer (May 20, 2009 at 8:48)

I agree that POD should be chosen a lil more carefully... number of favs would have pics of 14yr old girls with their tits hanging out, but something like that would work better... maybe get a panel of photographers to choose?

Well, before you pass stupid uninformed comments maybe u want to take a look at yesterdays pinkbike daily page... They don't look in my albums or other better pics would have made it... so if ur not trying to start anything finish it now before you pass anymore stupid comments about me or my work or the way anyone runs this place (intentional or not), coz for someone with a lot of advice & criticism u don't do much for this site.

ChrisRussell500144 (May 20, 2009 at 9:13) (Below Threshold)

hahaha... now whos making silly "uninformed" comments... "u dont do much for this site" yesturdays VOD was mostly my filming... like i said in my other comment, in not having a go at you personally... im just saying, something else shouldve been chosen. i dont know about anyone else, but this picture just seems to scream "point and shoot", with a fisheye of course...

PBPphotog (May 20, 2009 at 9:48)

And why? I'm curious to see why you think it screams point and shoot. Is it because of the motion blur? I know why that is there, any photographer would. I'm interested to see your reasons for thinking it was shot with a point and shoot. Prithee, enlighten us.

spongebomb (May 20, 2009 at 9:53)

hahahaha you all felt for it, he's just crashing!!!

(sarcasm

)

katinasd (May 20, 2009 at 10:10)

hahahahaha again? this pic deserves it though, congrats buddy!

StevePrice (May 20, 2009 at 10:43)

haha chris.

tbh, the other 'better' pictures on this site are done by Eric. take your time to look around them and youll find a 'better' one. (in your opinion)

Eric does do more for the site. for example hes had like 50 PODs and i look forward to seeing more

dont just scream point and shoot. hes got flashes set up and other equiptment. your not a photographer and to be honest it would really piss me off if someone screamed point and shoot at my photos.

after all, i guess all photos are point and shoot in a way, its just where you aim it that counts

well done eric

wormarse (May 20, 2009 at 13:17)

chris russel...shut the hell up!!! ok this isnt the best photo hes taken but just pick any out of his any of his albums and youll see that this guy has talent...much more than chris russel!! and the only reason he is pod is that there awsome photos....get a life....oh anybody who want to see some awsome amuter photograpy go on my profile...look at my pod! lol!!..... chris russel is a wanker

haropark (May 20, 2009 at 13:19)

rofl this is nice and al but no sytle

amajors (May 21, 2009 at 0:43)

cris rusell grow up dude, did someone steal your dumm? you moan like a bitch!! eric is legend if it wasnt for him you most probally would have never known South Africa exsisted!
like the old saying goes: if you have nothing good to say then dont say aything! point and shooot??? wtf ??
keep snapping eric!
