POD Photo of the Day on Jun 13, 2011

Selected by Sterling Lorence - Not much I can say to the radness found all over this image except just simply look into it and let the power of a great photograph do all the talking. Maybe I'll add that i'm radically jealous of Johnny Wellburn and James Doerfling of this image, location, light use, and the manner in that they decided to shred it. epic. nice mining for nugs bros!

canoedave (Jun 10, 2011 at 10:23)

Who takes a picture like this!! The cyclist is perfectly contorted on the bike in order to cast a perfectly normal shadow on the wall! Kudos to rider and photographer....and BC for providing the layout!

riffstills (Jun 13, 2011 at 0:10)

mxer83 (Jun 13, 2011 at 0:14)
