POD Photo of the Day on Sep 8, 2011

Selected by IanHylands - This is just purely epic, almost like a scene out of Lord of the Rings or something, but with bikes... Crazy trails and a dusting of snow, it looks like these guys are a million miles from anywhere...

why so few comments?

If the date that shot was taken is correct (9/18/06) then that's s long time for this pic to get noticed. I have a feeling Ian was saving it. If not, good find Ian.

@kickasssloth. maybe because schools starting ? might have something to do with it. i thought the same thing

KGPHOTO (Sep 8, 2011 at 0:18)

This may not be the best photo, however... i want to be there. it feels like I can step into this shot... or ride into it for that matter, so props on that. I do like the composition as well... it's just too bad about the harsh sun light on the riders.

How I wish I had these kind of trails to ride

Karpiel073 (Sep 8, 2011 at 3:24)

I wish I were a million miles from anywhere riding

A POD should be the sort of picture that makes you want to go and ride. on that basis, this should be POY!

sortafast (Sep 8, 2011 at 0:51)

Don't know why, maybe its that the riders are blending into the background too much on my monitor, but I am just not diggin it.

DirtboxTom (Sep 8, 2011 at 0:52)

It looks cold there... Cold, but fun.

TrekGeorge (Sep 8, 2011 at 2:03)

That is such a cool compotion! Essentials of trailsriding IMO!

wa2wider (Sep 8, 2011 at 2:51)

TheTrailSailor (Sep 8, 2011 at 7:29)

I thought that was Canada?! The grass is always greener on the other side

highsider (Sep 8, 2011 at 3:35)

it was taken in 2009. that part of the trail was scary.

kdawg1 (Sep 8, 2011 at 0:20)

Would be nice to have a go on that.

carnivorous (Sep 8, 2011 at 4:25)

I'm pretty sure that these are the steps Romeo Volken rides at the beginning of VAST? awesome looking trail!

Lehel-NS (Sep 8, 2011 at 9:00)

I thought that too when I saw the photo

...would like if someone could confirm that?

GreasyCaveman (Sep 8, 2011 at 7:34)

I wouldn't suggest taking it for this reason but benicar really keeps me hard for hours on end

mudmandhbrazil (Sep 8, 2011 at 5:37)

Lehel-NS (Sep 8, 2011 at 8:38)

Isn't this trail in the first section of Ionate Films' VAST?
