POD Photo of the Day on Sep 9, 2011

Selected by Ian Hylands - The description for this one says 540 over the hip but it looks a lot like a really dumped 3, and almost a table as well. So I'm going to say really dumped stylish 540 over the hip. And the composition is nice as well. Sick!

If I tried something like this an air ambulance would be involved.... love it.

TomMurphy (Sep 9, 2011 at 3:34)

I wish I had a place like Wisley trails. It would be so EPIC.

The UK can't stop pumping out PODs... Such a geographically small area packed with so much talent.

there a name to this trick, it has something to do with garbage?..... hmmmm

tom666 (Sep 9, 2011 at 15:10)

For a small area the UK, particularly england has shit loads of jump spots. Within day trip range of me I have Wisley, Milford, Sheet, 4a, Woburn Sands, Chicksands, PORC and a few less well known local spots...

dingus (Sep 9, 2011 at 15:20)

There's bugger all in Scotland compared to England

tom666 (Sep 9, 2011 at 15:24)

It's only really South England too. It's no coincidence though, there's just a lot of people who ride bikes here...

Session603 (Sep 9, 2011 at 15:59)

That's awesome. I would kill for some dirt jump around my area. I got Highland about an hour away, but If I am there I am on the DH bike, usually don't even bring the DJ. Let this be a message to all southern NH, southern ME, and northern MA dirt jumpers, If you got a spot, I got beer and a shovel..(21+).. PM me.

chrisrussell (Sep 9, 2011 at 18:03)

Dingus, there are not many DJ spots in Scotland but there are a shit load of DH tracks all over the joint

Andrew-Taylor (Sep 9, 2011 at 23:58)

Thats the coolest POD Ive seen all day!

mtb1stdegree (Sep 10, 2011 at 6:20)

i guess no one got what i was trying to say, i ment the trick is a dump 450

jamieledson (Sep 9, 2011 at 4:15)

BOOOM awesome job on the photo man and a congratulations to matthew for performing this ariel manoeuvre

husstler (Sep 9, 2011 at 8:51)

Ariel, like the little mermaid? Or aerial, like in the air? If it's The Little Mermaid, I can imagine that the Ariel Maneuver involves the purple seashell bikini top.

moongose (Sep 9, 2011 at 9:32)

as well as two VOD's in a week; his left arm is in an almost perfect 7... true hero

Sonicfury (Sep 9, 2011 at 6:51)

Great shot. Colours are vivid and composition is great. I love the tree in the foreground, it feels like the area is nicely enclosed and you're peeking in. Makes me want to push the branches back and step into the photo for a better look. Great pic Sam

snook (Sep 9, 2011 at 1:31)

So you're in a POD again Matthew? For the second time in like 4 days...

albee10301 (Sep 9, 2011 at 6:40)

ramprider17 (Sep 10, 2011 at 0:18)

the-ultimate-cyclist I belive this may be more your kinda thing there's enough trolls on PB already ... skateboarding.transworld.net

nouser (Sep 10, 2011 at 8:29)

Dude, you're done. He's already been told off, no need to continue trying to look cool by adding salt to the wound.

ramprider17 (Sep 10, 2011 at 11:13)

It's just amusing because he won't admit he was wrong.

duncanp (Sep 9, 2011 at 1:30)

2 PODs in one week for Matt Jones... Winner. Great shot sam

mrobson (Sep 9, 2011 at 5:31)

kambc (Sep 9, 2011 at 9:24)

mikeinjasper (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:51)

I-CanDoRideTheBike (Sep 9, 2011 at 0:17)

Maybe everyone's too busy admiring the awesome photo to make comments?

dherQRE (Sep 9, 2011 at 0:22)

New Zealanders...

sam-davies (Sep 9, 2011 at 0:24)

The description was meant to say 450 over the hip, changed now.

russclark (Sep 9, 2011 at 0:27)

That would be some hip to get a 540 over it! Amazing photo. Makes me wish I was there.

jonnieboie (Sep 9, 2011 at 1:13)

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2011 at 6:27)

wow nice attempt at a description ian hylands you clearly have no idea what you are talking about... its a 450 hence it being a hip not a 540 which you cant do over a hip as it is either 270 or 450 depending on the direction the the hip is or that you spin. also the original description said 450 aswell so i dont even know where you got 540 from in the first place. also what do you mean by almost a table as well? it is clearly an inverted table. the description should simply read 450 invert. come on pb, get it together...

You should go check out VitalMTB if pinkbike is SO terrible. You can bitch about the descriptions of the same pictures for months on end on that site. Or.... you could appreciate the incredible riding and photography that pinkbike has EVERY day. Or you could just turn your computer off and go lose your virginity.

nouser (Sep 9, 2011 at 9:35)

I'm pretty sure he said 540 because when you say "Dude, I did a sick 450" you sound like a tool. And you're an 18 year old BMXer on a mountain bike site trying to take down an established professional photographer... Jeez man!

leon-forfar (Sep 9, 2011 at 14:18)

ultimate cyclist, if your read the other comments you would see the OP of the pic had the description saying 540 by accident. That's why Ian wrote that in the caption

IanHylands (Sep 9, 2011 at 16:42)

I don't even need to comment on this really, thanks for telling him what I would have. Except for the go to Vital bit, I'm sure they don't want this kid either...

Session603 (Sep 9, 2011 at 19:54)

I'm always happy to bring the heat for a just cause.

jasonlucas (Sep 9, 2011 at 20:17)

hahahahhaha priceless

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:10) (Below Threshold)

its a good photo and the riding is great, i never said anything about that. i just dont think ian hylands should be in a place to pick pods when he clearly doesnt have a clue what is going on in them.

shredder117 (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:13)

YOU clearly have no idea what your talking about if you think ian hylands has no idea what is going on in pictuers.

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:15) (Below Threshold)

im pretty sure i know exactly what i am talking about, thanks for the insightful comment.

Session603 (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:23)

It would appear that the people that provide this free website for you to bitch and moan on think Ian is qualified. Maybe you should start a website. Then you can pick all of your favorite pictures and describe them in whatever terms you please. Or you could go kick your dog to take out all the anger you have from your screwed up childhood.

IanHylands (Sep 9, 2011 at 21:42)

leave the ultimate cyclist alone guys, after all he is the ultimate cyclist and he's sponsored and has magic chaos powers so he probably knows a lot more than I do. And he's 18 years old, so even though I was riding bmx almost 10 years before he was born he definitely knows more about new school tricks like 540's and 360's and stuff. I mean the fact that I was shooting guys like Mirra for various ads back when the ultimate cyclist was 11 probably just means I'm old school...

the-ultimate-cyclist (Sep 9, 2011 at 22:48)

you sure make a lot of assumptions there session603 based on knowing absolutely nothing about me.

nouser (Sep 9, 2011 at 23:16)

Holy testosterone
