suicidedownhiller (Jun 17, 2009 at 0:55) (Below Threshold)

Nice Picture! I would prefer some airtime for pod, but this just looks great. What freeriding is all about. Epic.

pavenger (Jun 17, 2009 at 2:49)

This right here is why I love mountain biking. I haven't found as much beauty on this earth as I have while biking and this picture shows just that. flawless POD!

pinityoufairy (Jun 17, 2009 at 2:57)

quite frankly, that just looks fun

StevePrice (Jun 17, 2009 at 4:27)

swampy45 (Jun 17, 2009 at 13:49)

If you look really hard, you can see the Saskquatch giving Doerfling the finger from across the river.

Mugen (Jun 17, 2009 at 14:10)

I'm with norcolaunchme on this: Does anyone know where to get a desktop version of this?

koleslaw (Jun 17, 2009 at 16:29)

this is an alright POD, yeah anyone can turn, they should make some better POD's tho, neg prop me all you want.

i-ride-on-dirt (Jun 17, 2009 at 17:25)

oh lord.... only in Canada...what a nature..

mcoleman (Jun 17, 2009 at 8:37)

Great shot! Is that around Willie's? It is the Chilcotin? One of my favourite trails in around Willie's. (it also has one of the best bike shops, too!)

Great combination of scenery and action. Nice colour, too. Sometimes harsh sun is hard to photograph in, but it works great here. Well done.
It all makes me want to go riding!
Thanks for sharing.

smoranc (Jun 17, 2009 at 9:31)

I think is Bella Coola in BC. Check this one I uploaded a few days ago from Sterling Lorence. I think is the same place... www.pinkbike.com/photo/3453222

smoke (Jun 17, 2009 at 10:15)

About an hour west of Williams Lake. That shot of Sterl's is in roughly the same place (just down the river a bit), but it's not near Bella Coola. It's a mistake on the part of Bike. Bella Coola is about 4 hours from there, although the road you take to get to Bella Coola is nearby.

mcoleman (Jun 17, 2009 at 10:29)

Farwell Canyon?

Toopie (Jun 17, 2009 at 11:09)

Yes

panarew (Jun 17, 2009 at 13:59)

If you are going to scream "photoshop," please share what you mean. What is fake about it? I've been to that area. And that is pretty much what it looks like. (when I was there it was a bit drier) It's a spectacular place, and this photo captures it well. (and no, I don't know the photographer)
