Selected by Ian Hylands - Ian Morrison probably does the sickest bicycle scrubs in the world. And the angle of this shot really shows that in a different light. The dirt flying into the camera lens while Ian scrubs away from the camera really enhances the braaap in this shot. Creative camera angles are awesome, and this one rules!
Second round for POY! I checked out all the photos in the final round of 16 and I think this is the strongest photograph. Its great that its Whistler, and that its A-line and Canadian! But most of all, this is the most original photograph, the most unique, the fastest, and makes you say WOW the most. Good luck!!!! I'll be votin for ya
I agree with everything you just said Paul, apart from the A Line part. This is the 2nd table on Heart Of Darkness. Is Ian Morrison sponsored by Devinci yet?
Love how sharp and in focus the mud on the ground is!
And if anybody here can help me, im in a contest to win a Nikon camera. I feel bad posting this here but can some of you follow my link to facebook and like my photo? You guys know ill use it to take sick DH photos if i win right
I think this photo is going to win POY. I love the mud flying at your face, the focus, the angle Ian is at, and the fact that you can see the tread of his Minion DHF.
might get neg props for this but i dont understand why they would make this POD when everyone has already seen it on photo of the year, same with when pinkbike puts a video on the home then its VOD the next day
I think what Pruss1 (kinda an awkward name..) meant to say is it may be a little unfair to have a POY nominated photo be POD after it has already been nominated to be POY. POD, to me, is all about bringing great photos to my attention that I normally wouldn't have seen otherwise. There's my two cents.
POD is about great pictures, and POY brought this one to our attention. It works both ways, there have been several POD's that were in the POY since it started...
I thought this link was going to take me to another POY photo but it took me somewhere to something I've NOT seen before. Both VOD and POD today are sick but I'm always a bit gutted when I've seen them before.
