THe only thing i would have done differently with this shot(if possible) would have been get more in front of the rider so that the shadows cast deeper and the other colours had more pop. Also maybe reduce the angle... but not too much. Huge credit to the photographer.

haha please turn the picture 45° to the right site...

anarchistx (Apr 9, 2010 at 12:12)

I agree, absolutely awesome snap but the "MBUK Tilt" is over used and takes a bit away from the pic, still one of my faves though!

12

git (Apr 9, 2010 at 8:11)

Nice picture. Not into the whole camera tilt though, gives a fake DH feel. Contrast hurts my eyes...the darks are too dark imho.

Also, "photography" is not spelled with an "ie" at the end. I think Brunet might be a blonde. LOL

30

Skinner11 (Apr 9, 2010 at 8:19)

It has "ie" if you're french... I think you might be a blonde... Or just a hick...

11

git (Apr 9, 2010 at 8:25)

Zing. You got me there. I retract my blonde joke and admit my limited french vocab.

Are BOS forks the same as boxxers? that is just a rumor I heard. I have no idea?

10

weasal01 (Apr 9, 2010 at 14:26)

If u tilt it so the tree is straight then u can see that it's a two foot drop onto flat ground not the best but still nice

hendrix42 (Apr 9, 2010 at 4:22)

very nice pod!we should see more bmx pod's?

20

eastcouleeski (Apr 9, 2010 at 8:49)

i think we should...i dont BMX but there are some good BMX pics out there...and this is pinkbike not pinkmtnbike

10

Mazekwon (Apr 9, 2010 at 12:45)

most BMXer's don't wear helmets and that is where the problem lies, i think they have some sick style.

10

hendrix42 (Apr 9, 2010 at 14:05)

bmx pics are just as good as down hill and free ride pics

10

eastcouleeski (Apr 9, 2010 at 16:07)

nothing wrong with no helm...

13

stooky (Apr 9, 2010 at 6:07)

One of the best on this website

giantrider-1 (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:00)

i dont like the angle it makes the pic kinda hard to see... without the angle it wouldnt be POD though, perfect colors, still a great pic, props to everyone involved in making this picture.

36

Booizzle (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:01)

now this is what i like to see as a POD!!! such an epic shot props to the rider and even more props to the photographer

137

R-trailking-S (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:02)

Signature is way too big...

14

Booizzle (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:03)

yes i do agree well maybe not to big but stands out way to much

Cannibal-Horse (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:04) (Below Threshold)

POD i like the front forks bos

23

Luv-To-Fly (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:23)

Yeah boi

guy38 (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:25)

thats a heaps sweet drop and the bos shocks are pretty good to

135

AdmanMTB (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:48)

The angle is sooo annoying... gives me a headache trying to get it the right way up. Maybe a little more zoomed out, but hey, pods are supposed to be different so I shouldn't complain.

tom-cuthbert (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:51) (Below Threshold)

Je t'aime.

BaileyRoberts (Apr 9, 2010 at 0:58)

admanMTB i must agree it is giving me a headache aswell its a little bit too angled

thisguytaylor (Apr 9, 2010 at 1:11)

Sweet shot, love the HDR

25

Russ-69 (Apr 9, 2010 at 1:45)

Sweet Pod.

26

parksy43 (Apr 9, 2010 at 2:32) (Below Threshold)

Awesome! Is it HDR? It kind of looks like one of those ps3 games with amazing graphics! such a unique effect!

26

alexdjer93 (Apr 9, 2010 at 2:49) (Below Threshold)

nice drop !!

10

Joe-1802 (Apr 9, 2010 at 3:19)

I agree with parksy42, It does look like really good CGI. Looks almost like a painting in a way too!
The rest of his album is pretty good btw

26

ebo421 (Apr 9, 2010 at 4:02) (Below Threshold)

awesome pic, good pod choice. but the signature is deff too big.

37

DirtjumperFreddy (Apr 9, 2010 at 4:38) (Below Threshold)

I agree it is way too big and the angle is annoying me. Still a great pic good POD!

37

357media (Apr 9, 2010 at 5:12) (Below Threshold)

Sick!

jonathangross (Apr 9, 2010 at 5:33)

POD? why?

It's nothing special. The bike is really nice, yeah, but that doesn't mean it should be pod.

It's not a huge drop, neighter a huge gap...

The angle looks like the photographer tilted the cam when he shot it.

The Quality is nothing to complain, sick good Quality. Nice weather doh..

Neg prop me now..

33

solarsatti (Apr 9, 2010 at 6:33)

i agree, there are like 100 other photos like this, like WTF?

thagoofyrider (Apr 9, 2010 at 6:45)

smallest drop ever on pod

53

realityloop (Apr 9, 2010 at 7:46)

yeah the angle of steepness is faked... Just look at the trees in the BG, and it is definetly not HDR!

23

realityloop (Apr 9, 2010 at 7:46)

Sick shot though!

43

sortafast (Apr 9, 2010 at 8:03)

you left off the fact that it was horrendously photochopped. Not diggin it. POD it should not be.

34

i need a pair of ballz

10

Booizzle (Apr 9, 2010 at 15:16)

wow i just tilted my computer to make the trees straight and i withdraw my previous statement this is no POD its way over edited and the photographer tried making it look like something special

20

timex255 (Apr 9, 2010 at 16:52)

Not bad... better than the last two at least...

12

ebo421 (Apr 9, 2010 at 19:57)

the photographer spelt photography wrong.

21

BaileyRoberts (Apr 9, 2010 at 23:28)

probably because thats how you spell photography in french?

11

ebo421 (Apr 10, 2010 at 3:44)

ohhh haha didnt realize that my bad.
