Loving the use of lines here.

scottrallye (Nov 21, 2010 at 11:37)

Beautiful. POD for sure. I love pics like this that seem to sum up mountain biking so well.

Banan725135650 (Nov 21, 2010 at 11:39)

Great shot. Super climate. POD man!

advorak (Nov 21, 2010 at 13:45)

benjiscott82 (Nov 22, 2010 at 2:37)

minimole (Nov 22, 2010 at 3:52)

jbike101 (Nov 22, 2010 at 5:47)

H1YA (Nov 22, 2010 at 9:00)

Rob-Chapman (Nov 22, 2010 at 9:04)

Woohoo Llandegla got a POD!

nouser (Nov 22, 2010 at 15:34)

This is why i love riding there such a good place to ride!

mtb1stdegree (Nov 22, 2010 at 18:52)

i did notice the p*nis shaped trail^^

bike-fixer (Nov 22, 2010 at 19:06)

who took this picture? a raccoon? i like the branches in the way, makes it look un-Photoshopable.

scottrallye (Nov 23, 2010 at 22:38)

Raccoons lack opposable thumbs, rendering them incapable of operating sophisticated electronics. Just saying

benjiscott82 (Nov 24, 2010 at 11:40)

branches to me help make the photo with the intricacy of the tiny branches looking like spider webs, and also help create the feel of late autumn, so big up the racoon!!

Dued what the fuck is that o.o

north-shore-bike-shop (Nov 22, 2010 at 10:56)

It's the Huncheback of Notre Dame after winning a running race

north-shore-bike-shop (Nov 22, 2010 at 10:56)

or perhaps a gorilla

vt6spd (Nov 22, 2010 at 3:10)

This angle looks awesome. It's almost like being an Owl in a tree, waking up seeing this person ride by and think to myself "ugh, another one?". Wonderful colors here and so far, probably one of my most favorite POD's. The full capture of the environment and element are perfect.

maddawgkeef (Nov 22, 2010 at 5:29)

Really good POD, some great other shots too in the album. However..... Would have loved to have seen the riders face with the look of concentration. That trail does not warrant a full face or a big full sus bike with dual crown forks, would have been better with someone leaning it in on a trail bike!

anarchistx (Nov 22, 2010 at 8:37)

Mate, i've logged on to PB 5 times during today and everytime I have had to click on your photo to have another look!!! Great shot and i'm gonna go ride Llandegla ASAP! It's about 4hr30mins from me but it looks worth it!

jofish66 (Nov 22, 2010 at 11:09)

good picture mate don't want to put a downer on it but the original trail is much better in my opinion the blacks anyway just more rocky and tricky at speed good trail but to smooth for my liking but to be fair I through Fort William was perfect so it might just be because I ride a DH bike that I prefer something a bit more extreme on the way down lol but the photo is sick mate wish i could get a photo half as good of me and my mates riding

silverback1 (Nov 22, 2010 at 13:24)

Inever thought anything in Llandegla would be able to give a pod, the camera never lies lol

konaridingiwster (Nov 21, 2010 at 12:06)

awsome pic

POD, llandegla rocks

Tomothy-DH (Nov 22, 2010 at 2:40)

Nice to soo Llandegla up on here! And to see someone on triple crowns in a sea of spandex..

dtbroel (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:16)

Nice man. Congratulations with your fast POD.

Laurence-CE (Nov 22, 2010 at 1:18)

Thanks dude...was unexpected...havent uploaded much stuff recently since if been in Wales.

Worm-Burner (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:33)

...He's riding 'The Flask"...Beautiful subdued tones...and soothingly un-extreme...Thanks!...

jumphilo (Nov 22, 2010 at 18:04)

This picture makes me wanna go riding..... awesome feeling when you look at it, it's like.... hey they could be me.... great shot as always

skawt-1 (Nov 21, 2010 at 11:19)

Great pic bud! Are you up a tree?

Laurence-CE (Nov 21, 2010 at 12:00)

You know it

Free climbing trees in the aid of photography!

north-shore-bike-shop (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:36)

Great shot Laurence! Your photography is on another level!

randybadger (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:38)

Nice shot. Llandegla is really going places. Give it a few years it'll rival glentress and brenin for uk trail centres

jacob-jay-12 (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:42)

i love how all the canadian people are loving llandegla which is only in wales

huwarcher (Nov 22, 2010 at 1:00)

well done mate,its nice to see wales got it this time

gadgers (Nov 22, 2010 at 8:52)

Great shot from a sweet section at OPA, nice to see something local, this is 15 mins from my home,nice one Laurence

symon666 (Nov 22, 2010 at 13:16)

wooo my local xc trail

fairlie (Nov 22, 2010 at 15:07)

Cool POD. Llandegla is what you make of it! The new free ride has sosme cool stuff, it can't compete with Fort Bill, but that's a world cup downhill track.

Laurence-CE (Nov 22, 2010 at 23:40)

It can when place is an hour away and fort bill about 10hrs haha

spongebobspandexpants (Nov 22, 2010 at 16:21)

SERIOUSLY?!? I might be alone on this but im thinking POD FAIL!! There is branches all over the place, the trail doesnt even look that special, the rider is out of focus, the lighting is OK but once again nothing special.....wtf am i missing here?!

transitionbikekidd (Nov 22, 2010 at 19:53)

this is why all we need is a small cabin a bike and some bacon. photo is sick man!

almostwise (Nov 21, 2010 at 11:36)

WOW!! Awesome shot dude!!

ccvl (Nov 21, 2010 at 11:41)

jameshealey (Nov 21, 2010 at 14:42)

Sweet shot Laurence!!! nice trail too!

nouser (Nov 21, 2010 at 15:57)

is this the freeride track or is this completely different? thanks

funkymonkey144 (Nov 22, 2010 at 0:14)

Parallel Universe, a new (ish) section the separates off the usual black xc route

Laurence-CE (Nov 22, 2010 at 1:17)

Its a flowy jumpy trail, table tops (nothing big) nice big berms. Its good fun.

Video of Jay Hoots riding it back in summer 2010 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fn4YqUxlEU

richierocket (Nov 22, 2010 at 3:13)
