That's some great scenery! Steep, grassy hills with trees and black, snowy peaks. Awesome shot!

Glad this is POD. It shows the amazing guys do some epic riding on gigondo mountains while you can imagine that the wifey's are of course in the kitchen making sandwiches for them when they come back home. It's obvious: this is life as it should be.

calorifaire (Nov 26, 2011 at 11:46)

that awkard moment when you realise there are 9gaggers on pinkbike... Mother of God!!!

radrider (Nov 26, 2011 at 14:44)

actually robby they are out spending your well earned money and cougaring your local town while your gone.

dirtjumper771 (Nov 26, 2011 at 16:04)

CJbikebuilds (Nov 26, 2011 at 21:52)

Mr-Lemon (Nov 27, 2011 at 11:51)

Wow, I love the feeling of ripping down a fast AM trail and suddenly noticing the beautiful scenery around. Thats what this photos about. Also, cool that Ian chose a POD w/ no comments.

payton4specialized (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:04) (Below Threshold)

BEAUTIFUL background! this needs to be in the next Pic of the year contest!

First thing that comes to mind when I see this is Canada.

"ripping down a fast AM trail and suddenly noticing the beautiful scenery around" That's my excuse for going really slow

grantprezence (Nov 26, 2011 at 8:59)

Schnell & Wildhaber... Kings of ENDURO!

gavlaa (Nov 26, 2011 at 9:42)

Looks so much fun- I would be all over the place if I was following anyone in that dust!

FunnBOB (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:49)

Great POD, missed those mountain scenery pods, such as this!

By the way, who else thinks someone should find Semenuk's picture that appears on the right top corner and make it POD?!

willisrock98 (Nov 26, 2011 at 5:48)

Yes a Dane Searls PoD would be nice, but i'm sure the pods are picked atleast a day or two early, so really they can't just change it last minute because of the tragady. I'm sure their will eventually be a Dane PoD but for now we can just pay our respects. RIP

IanHylands (Nov 26, 2011 at 9:45)

yup, see my comment above...

thecarpy (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:00)

That's awesome. Just sounds like a perfect ride. Sweet singletrack in the mountains.

RedShredder (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:01)

Gotta love BC!! Reminds me of the 7 summits. Can just imagine how much fun they are having!!

gizmogunner (Nov 26, 2011 at 8:15)

that i think shows the best thing about mountain biking is that you get to ride with friends and see stunning scenery thats why i love it POD with out question

nouser (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:03)

24/11/11... a day I'll never forget RIP Dane.

Draggon (Nov 26, 2011 at 0:32)

Yeah, I feel pretty let down. I thought for sure today's pod would have been one of Dane, especially since Ian said yesterday "Yes I agree a Dane Searls POD today would have been nice, but today's POD was not my choice so I can't change it unfortunately..." but today's was his choice and it would have been better late than never......but no. Well here's one for those who wanted it too.....

RIP Dane, we'll keep a look out for the kickers in the clouds.....

sensai-miagi (Nov 26, 2011 at 3:47)

Thanks Draggon. I think Dane will more likely Rip In Peace than Rest In Peace. This Earth has a void with Dane gone; it will never be filled but he left his mark.

IanHylands (Nov 26, 2011 at 9:45)

Right now the POD's have been chosen all the way up until Dec 2nd. There is one slot in there that can be changed at the moment, and it wasn't today...

poop

slappinbeavers (Nov 26, 2011 at 7:29)

Fraser77 (Nov 26, 2011 at 10:33)
