goxbigxorxgoxhome (Feb 8, 2012 at 2:37)

This is the type of section you don't wanna mess up

konablastboy88 (Feb 8, 2012 at 7:26) (Below Threshold)

konabike4321 (Feb 8, 2012 at 8:33)

zmcycle (Feb 8, 2012 at 13:53)

ChainsawGeoff (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:03)

That's ridiculous, foothill my ass. If that's a foothill, then Mt. Everest is the bunny slope at my local ski resort.

TyranT21 (Feb 8, 2012 at 1:29)

I bet that it is twice as high as any mountain in Australia

jamesrbrown (Feb 8, 2012 at 1:54)

Well its not exactly Mont Blanc either..

Matt-W (Feb 8, 2012 at 7:52)

Technically it is a foothill; haters gonna hate.

Its-That-Guy (Feb 8, 2012 at 11:43)

probably more like 3-4 times as high :p

yanndmc (Feb 8, 2012 at 17:38)

Or tits...

Draggon (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:16)

Only thing that would make this POD any better would be a goat.

DirtboxTom (Feb 8, 2012 at 2:00)

...or a Chamois! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamois

Draggon (Feb 8, 2012 at 8:19)

That thing's sweet, i've never seen a Goatelope before......

BenLovesIdaho (Feb 8, 2012 at 16:28)

You, DirtboxTom, saved me a trip to Google! And agreed!

thenegpropper (Feb 8, 2012 at 17:36)

finnrambo (Feb 8, 2012 at 20:14)

J-JUMP (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:01)

Picnicking here would be a pleasure!

ChainsawGeoff (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:09)

You little picnic trollop, you'd picnic almost anywhere, wouldn't you?

Draggon (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:18)

It's alright if he's a picnic tramp as long as he brings the sandwiches.

notthatslow (Jan 30, 2012 at 12:49)

that's a foothill? wow...

Lehel-NS (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:23)

Don't look right don't look right don't look right....

AAAustin (Feb 5, 2012 at 8:54)

that's one big foot.

ChainsawGeoff (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:10) (Below Threshold)

that's what she said

jakeaylward (Feb 8, 2012 at 4:42)

ChainsawGeoff (Feb 8, 2012 at 12:48)

rippin-norco (Feb 8, 2012 at 17:24)

you must have pretty fucking big feet, if a girl is calling them creepy.

Big-Col (Feb 8, 2012 at 11:18)

Ha ha ... nice shot, I know exactly the spot because I've shot there too....

FitTRL2 (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:01)

Love the background! Clear skys, mountains, amazing light!

ferguswalker (Feb 8, 2012 at 1:08)

That Camera man showing his dedication...or maybe just a floating camera, either way pro skills

kaijumps (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:01)

makes you feel like that is the tallest point around

harveyhoman (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:01)

Mordor wasn't all it turned out to be then?..

bubbaleech (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:08)

Only in the Alps would this be a foothill.

matbar20 (Feb 8, 2012 at 8:32)

Awsome shot!

randybadger (Feb 8, 2012 at 9:21)

Love the shot, would hate the push up!!

carbonlite (Feb 8, 2012 at 11:09)

PedalShopLLC (Feb 8, 2012 at 12:47)

Ben-AltonBMX (Feb 8, 2012 at 13:28)

Bullitproof (Feb 8, 2012 at 23:59)

jacobsend (Feb 8, 2012 at 0:06)

Wribit4567 (Feb 8, 2012 at 1:44)

auergraphics (Feb 8, 2012 at 1:55)

Scott Voltage FR 20 - 2010

rlucky82 (Feb 8, 2012 at 8:15)

How can you tell what bike that is in such a small picture??

auergraphics (Feb 8, 2012 at 23:32)

I made the photo.

lionsphinx (Feb 8, 2012 at 2:07)

CanadianElements (Feb 8, 2012 at 4:18)

Neely (Feb 8, 2012 at 14:33)

gorgeous

Xc2dh1 (Feb 8, 2012 at 2:55)

That slope levels off in about 5 feet. Lol.

Below threshold threads are hidden

kylecp1 (Feb 8, 2012 at 5:46)

Okay. Hike your bike up to the coolest, most epic spot... Then jump on your bike (keep your elbows high- it looks fast!)and I'll snap a picture! POD!
I could def be wrong but it's not like Frodo here rode his bike to that spot. Some of these PODs seem to be so staged.
It is beautiful scenery, however! NIce shot.

beneathmiskin1 (Feb 8, 2012 at 5:58)

Not like peaty rides his bike up the mountain to get the shot, or semenuk rides his way up to the starting line of Rampage. Sometimes you've gotta walk it up to ride it down.

freerideglory (Feb 8, 2012 at 8:16)

I'd put money on the fact that he was air lifted there. Still a great shot, although, not POD worthy.
