I really wish that POD wasn't just about photography skills, but more about whats actually going on in the picture. This is a good shot and all, but there is little skill involved.
its a good picture (and sorry for repeating others) its Pic of the day not rider or stunt of the day, the colours are great, quality is great angle is great, all this greatness makes for a great picture does it not
suicidedownhiller: Hucking huge drops and gaps doesn't require much more skill than staying on the line on this pic, so shut up, you're only jealous that your crap didin't get pod and this did anyway.
^^ KondziusNS - you said go out an take a better picture, so i did (in my opinion! ) www.pinkbike.com/photo/3545858 trust me, there are much more pics deserving pod out there.
oh and this photo i love it i dnt know who the guy is but i like te quality and the extention i jus think it is a good shot www.pinkbike.com/photo/3575003
i think its a clever shot, thats why it should be pod, not because of the technicality,
theres some pics where people arent even riding but others with 20ft gaps on hardtails.
this is a cool pic
everybody who is hating on this shot, remember its "picture of the day" not "rider of the day". who cares if he's riding in a strait line? its a sick shot and thats all that matters.
Yeah pictures like these are borederline ok pictures. But PICTURE OF THE DAY shouldn't be borederline ok. It should be a picture that makes you question why you still ride bikes because the rider is doing something that seems practicaly impossible.
This DOESN'T WORTH POD! its not suppose to be the most beautiful picture with a sunset and littles flowers with butterfly and all this g*y sh*t! it's suppose to be sick riding! something special and awesome, this guy is just riding is bike staight line... theres nothing special at all but the "wonderful" photoshop that makes the grass looks like fire... don't f*cking care of that! I saw many other comments that agree with me!
I'm going to go in a tree In my back yard and take a picture of my buddy riding over a rock!! I think we have a great shot at getting tomorows POD haha
cool i dindnt know a someone could go fast on a straight section of tril. vary exciting. some one has to agree that this should have been POD www.pinkbike.com/photo/3642618 its a bmx but a little better
]I think its POD worthy. Yeah sure there are some amazing 20ft drops, but after the 3rd pic of big drops everyone is negative and bored, and want something different.... This pic is that something different!
Great pic, sweet perspective. "there is no skill here", blah, blah, blah,... sure, sure. Only a person who dont know what downhill is all about, can say something like that. I think this photo demonstrate the "feeling" when we ride.
y is everyone bitching that hes not hitting a jump? who cares, can you not see the beauty in this picture?? from the colour contrast and angle. time is stoped for this one moment and i would love to be riding where he is. not jump of the day nor crazy good rider of the day.... but.... great picture of the day
I like it. Great colour and composition; it captures the motion. Not all riding is big stunts. Big stunts don't necessarily make me want to go riding. This picture does. Thanks for sharing it.
