Beautiful whip! POD worthy.

Ian Hylands - Not just about the whip or the background, that's something with his neck and the rest of the body that made it poddy, oh I miss the rost back there eh?

I think the only reason people dont like KONA is marketing from the other companies? Could be wrong but why do so many people HATE KONAS???!? Look at what Aggy and Dylan do on them! The abuse they get is nuts and these guys love their bikes... Either way awsome shot! Dylan is an awesome talent.

dont know about the new knoas...but the past generations had a bad reputation and apparently snapped much more than other bikes...i dont know rather they have fixed it or not and i have never ridden a kona myself, just stating a fact, konas used to snap.
but whatever lets not start this debate here again, ride the bikes you want guys, as long as you enjoy riding them.

its because the frames are shit, they weigh a ton, and they have brake jack! even the $6600 supreme operator with the new frame design!

Well, the dope couldn't solve it either. I have had 6 konas, loved them all, but the jack was there. in all of them (stinky 2004, stinky 2005, stinky dee 2005, stinky supreme 2005, stab 2005, stab dee 2006). but after all, they took the beating, were riding smooth, had no real need for maintainance, looked not overstyled, had good colours, and were functioning honestly. So: good bike thy were.

was that bike made of gold with diamonds stuck on it?I had 10 trillion konas, then all 999,999,999,999 cracked so now im left with one kona...

ok then, ace picture like mate, but dude, really to be honest, Why do you buy Konas if they cant keep going for you lad? No offense but you sound a bit retarded

can you guys ever take jokes? Plus who cares about math, this is pinkbike, and unless your a person who actually creates bikes you shouldn't really be worrying about math on pinkbike.

@chrisbee you said that "they took the beating" clearly not if you had to get 3 of the same style bikes in 2005.

@yeahbro They took all the beating, but i built one, sold it, and bought an other one sold it. I used to buy bikes, tear them down, build another one, saving some parts for me, and the story went on and on. ATM I have a Demo 2008, which is a "leftover" from all the bikes i bought and sold. It IS better, then the konas were, but they all were good bikes. :-)

Wasnt it agreed that photos not posted by their original shooter would NOT become POD? E.g. This one?

I heard that too. But maybe because they pb couldnt find any other as worthy pods as this one they had to go with this maybe.

I'd have been quite happy for sterling to choose one of his own photos : www.pinkbike.com/photo/6220756

PB has the highest concentration of top notch bike photographers you'll find anywhere, there is NO reason why essentially marketing POD's should happen.

Oh I can't wait til Sun Peaks opens. I WANNA BE THE FIRST ON THE HILL!!!! Nicely ripping up Steam Shovel. Defo worthy of POD!
