I love this photo, its about lifestyle not just the actual riding, its well taken and interesting! Think about how many jump photos there have been - originality is good.
Why is everyone so against a different style of pod? There's one for each day of the year I think we'll be able to get all the other 'real mountain bike' ones in.
I pretty sure its just fun and a cool picture and get the f**k over it and that it doesnt all ways have to be riding. Its abit of FUN understand that word? thats the feeling You have when You ride Your bike
it makes sense that people are gunna dislike it. yeah its a sweet picture, i think its cool, but it doesnt make me wanna go ride. it makes me want to walk my dog.
i personally like it i think its a fun photo there are a million shots of guys doing berms while you can only find a few like this one or this one: www.pinkbike.com/photo/4718562 why cant we have a fun one in a while thats not saying its not great to have an amazing riding photo 99percent of the time, but way to mix it up! i like it and no matter what we say; its POD so if you dont like it, wait till' tommorow
You guys realize that the more you wine, the more it inspires the MOD's to give you not so great pods right? Besides bashing on the photo isn't going to convince them to change the picture until tomorrow, so quit wasting your own time and live with it.
what would make this so much better (not saying its not funny as f*ck) would be if he was acualy riding downhill but had it tied to his back with the dog chasing him, gotta get faster some how!
Shred-NZ. It's POD because it's an original shot of biking instead of some dh guy railing a berm, or a dj'er doing a backflip. Do you see this scenario everyday? No? Exactly...shaaaaaddup.
i swear the mod's choose photos like this just to see how much all you weiners get pissed off. it's a funny photo that looks good. the mods obviously thought it looked cool so they chose it for everyone to see when they come on the site. there's nothing wrong with a change up here or there, even if it's something as simple as a dog, or a rubber ducky.. this is a dope POD. i'm even gonna add it to my favorites.. all you haters get over yourselves and find something productive to do faaaakkkk
Every single one of the " this should be tomorrows pod" are the same as before. do you guys not know how to smile?? why arent u out the riding or photo shooting to try and get pod ur self. the last few days pods are great examples of the RIDING LIFESTYLE which by the looks of it is loosing direction with newer riders these days.
Exactly.
People want to talk about riding as a lifestyle then they can't stop and appreciate a quality lifestyle picture because the guy isn't doing something amazing. Its still a great picture that demonstrates how bikers tend to do things a little differently than the rest.
every one can suck a dick. i like the photo. most people like the photo. typing this out is a waste of my time. i have fucking had it with the winy people on pink bike. it does not matter what they think because its not their web site.
after looking at the whole guy feeding his dog thing for about half a second. i moved on to the Fox 40s in the back ground. they look real nice. so white and shiny. shame i wont have enough money for a pair until im 25.
I was fishing once and caught a dog too. I brought the dog home and named it trout. One day a few years later me and my dog "trout" when fishing together. As we sat on the dock pondering life a huge fish jumped out of the water and pulled trout back in. I was in total shock then after a few hours of crying i started walking home alone. I was almost home when i realized that "trout" wasnt a dog at all but a huge fish that looked like a dog. Then i felt a huge sense of relief and thought wow that was one cool fish.
And to all the people who have hated on this POD, have you ever actually taken the time to find out what POD and pinkbike is all about or have you just made an assumption in your head because youve only seen riding POD's. If you get angry over one picture on a website with millions of pictures, good luck with life cos no one in the real world would put up with your sh*t.
Because when that hound gets a hold of that meat there's no telling which way the rider is going to get yanked! He'll be lucky if that fine looking beast doesn't yank his arm out of socket trying to shake that meat loose from the fishing pole!
Personally, I like it. Well captured fun. And even if I didn't like it I wouldn't think it was nearly as annoying as everyone posting what they think should be POD. Get over it. Get over yourselves.
i like the pod! all you do is look at it smile and go about your day then next day onto new one... don't get why there's always such negative stuff about any pod?
anyways the pics nice but the 3 legged dogs more impressive!!
Nice pic, creative and original! I don't care if it got an unfair POD, it is still a good pic, so i won't spam comments page against mods...The picture comments are for the author of the pic and he doesn't have fault if the picture got pod...GOOD PIC KEEP THE ORIGINALITY
u know this is an awesome POD, super original and up lifting too, i think everyone is stoked on it, but everyones upset cos they didnt think of it theirselves first, seeing comp pics and rad shots of berms is always epic, but hey mtn biking is all about FUN, and im glad pinkbike made this POD cos i think most of these folks forgot mtn biking is all about fun, kickin it with your friends or in this case man's best friend
I think maybe the attempt was to portray the dog pulling the bike/rider by dangling a piece of meat in front of it. What's missing is a rope attached to the dog's harness and tied to the bike; and most importantly should have been on a trail as the backdrop instead of a parking lot at a rest stop on the side of a road. ehh Fail -- on many dimensions!!!
That just made my afternoon. reminds me that I better take my Staffy for a walk when I get home... prob wont be doing that tho, that hunk of meat belongs in the slow cooker. Iron helps us play.
i mean ya sure thats cool. but i feel like they took it just to get pod on pinkbike. haha. i feel bad for that dog. hope it gets to eat that steak or some shit
THATS SO FUCKING GAY MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET SOME BALLS AND TAKE A REAL FUCKING PICTURE YOU FUCKING PUSSY FUCK PEOPLE THAT TAKE PICS LIKE THIS CAN ALL GO DIE YOU FUCKERS
