Rasterman (Sep 22, 2011 at 6:21)

The beer is clearly flying through the air, but then there is another beer in the guys hand? Was the guy holding 2?

BenLovesIdaho (Sep 25, 2011 at 14:35)

Why wouldn't he be holding two?

MtTaylor (Feb 11, 2012 at 15:47)

I wonder if the guy got Danny to buy him another beer

BurgerBiker (Sep 14, 2012 at 5:47)

he should have grabbed the beer afterwoods

BurgerBiker (Sep 16, 2012 at 3:31)

(to the tune of we are young by fun.)
I need to get my back end straight,my freind and i are whipping,jumping higher than the empire state,my beer is waiting for me,just beside the trail...

adove (Jan 11, 2013 at 21:11)

Any self-respecting Cariboo drinker will have a fresh can in their hands 0.04 seconds after finishing the beer or having it knocked out of their hands by a whipping world cup racer. This is clearly demonstrated in this photo.

the beer was wasted for a good reason

haydendmorrison (Jul 28, 2011 at 10:29)

Cool thing is, someone caught the beer and finished it up. Maybe, I don't know, but it makes for a nice story.

double2011kid (Jul 28, 2011 at 1:14)

I think this has a real big 'fun' theme to it! There is no timing or official judging. It's just having a beer and chilling out watching the pro's shred there stuff. thats true mountain biking.

cleangetaway (Jul 28, 2011 at 12:35)

For anyone who hasn't seen DH in action on A-Line for the Air Downhill race...

Getting a beer knocked out your hand by Danny Hart HONOUR

SHEESHKAH (Jul 28, 2011 at 1:47)

They must have seen the old POD where there is a high five happening and decided they needed to top it.

SIFG (Jul 28, 2011 at 5:29)

sick photo, but in my opinion waste off beer.

RideHighKid (Jul 28, 2011 at 6:35)

me and my mates tryed this with a can of monster and it was taking forever to get this shot but they were to slow with the camera awsome pic

charlie12 (Jul 28, 2011 at 14:00)

its funny cause danny didnt enven know that this guy was gunna do this, the guy just stuck the beer out just before he took off.
Danny wasnt a happy chappy :p

garylucas (Jul 28, 2011 at 18:20)

That's a wicked POD,and it's gonna be my new POD in a second.
