i love that feeling of being in the air on big jumps for longer then a couple seconds- this would be insane tho

wow wtf kind of name is mutantevil, thats fuicked and your fuked this aint photoshopped, u obviously dont know cameras very well, clouds dont have to be the same colour, light hits them in different ways depending on where they are, like dude your just ripping on this guy cuz you dont have the balls to do it yourself,

Poor blending of the bike into the background. Its way too sharp a picture to have not been photoshopped. The cloud in the distance... Not even the same colour as the restof the clouds. poor blending right there, gives it away. It was probably put their to blank out the large stand holding up the background for this picture. You can also see the small ramp behind the fake jump where the biker actually came from. Sorry to the stuntman that did this, but this is way too unrealistic to be pod. Your all clearly not very clever. . .

Awesome bike shot.
I think it really blows seeing a forest being completely leveled like that though.

Unless the land is personal, almost all land in Canada that is cut is eventually replanted, or else we would have ran out of trees by now. People gotta stop complaining about clear cutting if we didn't do it we wouldn't have half the things we do today. You live in a house don't you? Chances are their is something or a lot of things in that house that came from trees.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the need for lumber and that we replant a lot of the trees. But it still sucks seeing the after effects of clear cutting.

At least when they cut your forestry down they leave the bike trails up... If our trees get the chop then the trails go with them! In fact sometimes they chop the forests just to get rid of the trails.

MCsession7 I say bullsh!t to your "we need lumbar so it's okay to clearcut" way of thinking. Clearcutting is basic irresponsible forest management. Clearcutting is inexpensive. That's why most logging companies use that technique. Clearcutting destroys the biodiversity of a "forest", creates a monoculture, and degrades the soil and its nutrient levels. Responsible forest management includes selective harvesting and maintains the health of the entire forest ecosystem while still allowing timber harvest. Imagine how cool this photo would have looked if trees surrounded the jumps! Now go ride your bike.

Yeah but unfortunately because clearcutting is cheaper thats how the trees will be choppped. Its all about the money, it always is and it always will be.

If their was no clear cutting their would be now forestry industry, using selective harvesting instead of clear cutting is way more dangerous, takes a lot longer, and we will never get the wood we need for the industry. To get the same amount of wood that you would get out of acre of clear cut would take you for ever in a selective harvesting output, which intern is just as expensive just due to the length of time it takes and the money you pay the workers. Also, in my defense, if it was not for clear cutting i would not have a computer in front of me to allow me to write this comment, nor would I be able to have a good bicycle to drive.

if they were to put bike jumps and trails like this one in every time foresters cut trees down, then i MIGHT be ok with it, untill then don't cut the forests down - nice pod by the way!

Clear cuts are a very important part of the forestry process...mainly the control burns they do afterward. Ever wonder why forest fires are out of control most of the summer months... lack of controlled burns!

If we leave the trees to die, they become an extreme fire hazard, and besides, almost all cuts are replanted after anyway.

You guys are full of crap! Forests have been burning for millions of years without humans trying to "manage" them through burns. Fire is a necessary process to ensure a healthy forest ecosystem. Try educating yourself on forestry first.

Educate myself of forestry, how about you go do that, i was brought up around forestry and I am a 4th generation logger. I know that fire's will be an intimate thing no matter what, but area's that are good for logging, and are used for logging, do not get all the old dead trees that are the extreme fire hazards, if we cut them before they die, than thats one less fire hazard. So please glueman0, try educating yourself about some real facts and information, cause obviously you weren't taught very well.

We did build our own shittt but you would have to come to the East Coast of the US to ride our stuff. You are more then welcome to come out and i'll show you around.I'll tell you what.... It did feel good to put the first tire marks on your stuff though. I was there before the last bridge to the road gap was even done it was around this time last year. good build it was fun. Next time you should build it a little bigger.

Someone from france could have gotten as bad a experience in England. Just because you had bad luck, doesnt mean everyone around you at that time is ignorant. Besides, I dont see polish or spanish people being negative proped everytime they post a comment in their language, as said its an internationnal site, everyone is aloud to state their opinion howere they are comfortable typing it. You comment it english because you practice it more then any other language, we comment in french because we practice it more then any other language. Seriously, grow up.
