jeremy-sawatzky (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:13)

almost looks like theres lightning in the background cause the sky can turn that color when theres a bolt in the clouds. But whats with his visor?

WasabiJim (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:23)

jbike101 (Nov 17, 2010 at 5:52)

this just defines POD, epic shot!

10

rosen94 (Nov 17, 2010 at 6:35)

The green plants and the purple sky... love it!

10

jetanthony (Nov 17, 2010 at 6:40)

lol i ride the same tire and rim as him... good pod

10

derpdownthehill (Nov 17, 2010 at 7:52)

Epic contrasts, I love the purple sky.

10

D1RTbmxjump3r (Nov 17, 2010 at 8:22)

I like the treads!!!

10

THE-DH (Nov 17, 2010 at 9:41)

thats a big wheel!

40

THE-DH (Nov 17, 2010 at 9:41)

it looks like his riding jurassic park

12

on-a-bike (Nov 17, 2010 at 13:07)

@ grantR, he's got a kenda on the back, thaqts why its so far behind lol

10

bike-fixer (Nov 17, 2010 at 21:26)

nice wheel... -i want those shocks.

20

icklerachy (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:54)

That Lack Of Shine on the Hub really ruins this shot....

Only joking, Great pic man, I dont remember seeing an angle like this before. He does appear to have good bike control. =)

Was this set on zoom? ( Sorry if talking shit, I will openly admit I am not knowledgable on Cameras, just curious on how it was done)

10

Laue (Nov 17, 2010 at 8:40)

this one was shot with a wide-angle lens 12mm from the ground...

10

icklerachy (Nov 17, 2010 at 8:46)

Manual? sorry If I am asking stupid questions just wonder if remote or not.

(Feel Free to neg prop me if just being Dull

)

20

Laue (Nov 17, 2010 at 9:33)

yes manual...

30

frijolemoreno (Nov 17, 2010 at 15:37)

how does a pod get to be a pod? is there somewhere we all go to vote on them? does the process more resemble how a bill becomes a law or how a chicken is made? or the creation of the universe?

10

tsHuck-It (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:18)

I have a minion on the front too. Corners super well, as demonstrated. +1 to j-brosky on the Maxxis ad. Great colors. Love the yellow, green and red subject back dropped by purple sky.

10

DeVo694 (Nov 17, 2010 at 19:43)

funny. i hate my minion. has zero mid side bite. doesn't roll fast. self cleans well i guess.

10

tetonlarry (Nov 17, 2010 at 20:48)

You are right about the mid side bite. However, that is what makes a Minion so sick for me. Drift, Drift, Drift, then a little more lean and Bite, Bite, Bite. Once you get used to it, it is very predictable, and you can drift or hook up whenever you choose depending on how far you lean your bike over in the turn.

30

megastoked (Nov 5, 2010 at 7:02)

can't get much closer than that.....

30

j-brantley (Nov 5, 2010 at 22:38)

That is sweet! Love the lighting!

30

j-brantley (Nov 5, 2010 at 22:38)

Damn, and the angle! Great shot!

20

j-brosky (Nov 17, 2010 at 0:25)

It's almost too good or something... Either a Vans ad or Maxxis, hah. Great photography!

10

WAKIdesigns (Nov 17, 2010 at 1:12)

ughhh! Amazing photo, dynamism to the max! extreme photography: where the photographer wants the rider to wear some quality rubber - the tyres ofk....

52

wolfe38 (Nov 17, 2010 at 3:44)

not really POD worthy, still good shot. but just doesn't appeal to me..

21

spongebobspandexpants (Nov 17, 2010 at 16:57)

it looks fake....kinda like the front of a greenscreen or somethin and i dont think its POD material....thats maybe thats just me?

10

ashdamash (Nov 17, 2010 at 2:40)

So what tyres do we think he's running ?? high roller maybe

haha mint shot!

10

hofmanwa (Nov 17, 2010 at 2:53)

10

ashdamash (Nov 17, 2010 at 14:48)

10

hofmanwa (Nov 18, 2010 at 12:00)

Apologies for not picking up on your sarcasm in your first comment, this pathetic attempt at comedy was so dire it passed me by.

10

ashdamash (Nov 19, 2010 at 14:20)

haha its funny cus he's fat, dude i was obviously joking around with the second comment as well so why bring a negative attitude to the website??...

20

superkat (Nov 17, 2010 at 3:50)

Interesting, decent photo, but POD?

10

ScottPattenden (Nov 17, 2010 at 0:02)

bigburd (Nov 17, 2010 at 9:52)
