Selected by Ian Hylands - There is just something about the Italian mountains that always seems to impress me. I don't know what the trail looks like in this shot, but I'm pretty sure it's just as amazing as the mountains...

I could just hear that guy that does all of those commercials for movies, you know with that really epic voice "In the mountains of Val di Fassa, Italy... Two bikers... One Ninja... One desire...Mauro and David this summer will be... Pinkbike's POD"

@ Looorney: I don't know what you learned in in school but the Northern Hemisphere, Autumn starts on September Equinox which is 23rd September this year.

Kamba6 don't be so hard on him, he is not as fortunate as you to have Autumn all year round to know so much about it.

Actually, when this picture was taken/posted (September 13th) it was still summer technically.
Summer ends on September 21, yesterday.

Kamba6 - I know, I'm in western Sweden - we get the sht that's left in the clouds, that didn't manage to fall on you guys... this year it is especially interesting, we both get all what's left off those hurricanes that didn't fell in US. Today we had all four seasons in the morning, didn't know whether to wear shorts or winter jacket - FUN!

Everyone needs to stop saying epic! There are other words to describe something amazing....
This picture is breathtaking!

I can say something about equinox date as, in a way, I work professionaly with it. I do shadow studies for arch projects quite often, and you do them for june, december and march/september. These studies are made for municipalities and I can tell you one thing: every fkn one says something different.
Let's agree that autumn eqinox is between 20th and 24th od September. And let's leave it there. Who TF cares about exact date save a nutter going into the middle of woods at midnight, to stab someone tied to a stone table with 12" dagger to gain immortality, or make all cows in Missisipi sht themselves to create compost for next year crops... he really wants to get the date and time right otherwise the prophecy says it's gonna ne his family to sht themselves to death

I am on the fence as to wether or not I should replace My POD and make this one my new one.

This really is the picture of the year. Even without bikes this is a phenomenal shot. Really great shot!
