This is a sick photo! You should really be looking forward to the photos and videos that Marco´s going to bring out every week from his two weeks with us here in Bolivia! Absolutely Epic! Def, more PODs in them! The trails in this photo were built by Travis from Andean Epics, he has put years of work into developing a variety of sections of trail and stunts in the Sorata area. GravityBolivia.com took Marco, Jerome and Rene for two and a half days of riding here as part of the full two week program of riding in Bolivia. The two week program hits the highlights of single-track, incredible, scenery, awesome trails, history and rad-riding throughout Bolivia. On the 2/3rd of October there will be a race ('Acha Avalancha") organized by Travis on these same trails in Sorata, Gravity is offfering a two week acclimitisation and training trip to anyone who is interested in hitting this incredible race fully prepared. This trip will hit all the same trails that Rene, Marco and Jerome hit ... if you are up for it. Contact us www.gravitybolivia.com to get on that trip or to have us set one up specifically designed for your riding tastes!
Epic shot, I've been biking at up to 6,000 metres in Bolivia, from a place called Chacalatya and those mountains are pretty dramatic. Definitely no photoshop required, the only catch is it takes about 8 hours to get to a hospital, as we discovered, and they wouldn't be offering the best medical care in the world..cool experience though.
They should fire up a POM and have us vote on POD's and the one with the most votes wins the POM.Photo shop or not.....still a wicked pic.Keep em coming!!!!!
So glad this got POD! Certainly more to come from Marco´s 2 week photo shoot with Gravity Bolivia! Look for more from him every week! And come check out Bolivia! Great people, culture, scenery and of course Riding!
there are places that are REAL that look like this, I live in one. Just takes the right day and a good camera angle and this is what you get. The p-shopping is standard colour corrections (pretty well standard for professional digital photos)
That "photoshopping" was standard in the darkroom too, just that back then it wasn't called "photoshopping", it was called developing. All that stuff was perfectly possible in the days of film. It's funny this photo does actually look like the foreground could've been stuck on, but it's clear it hasn't. It is a beautiful world in places, I've never been to Bolivia but this sort of view is common in the Rockies and Canadian Coastal range. It's a great shot, and I can't believe hes doing that in just a brain sieve.
