If I had facebook, this would be my big timeline picture on my profile... (it really makes me wanna sign up)

hoolydooly (Feb 15, 2013 at 3:15)

The sun is just looking right into my soul...

yxbix (Feb 15, 2013 at 3:43)

xander8, you are so easily tempted

however, I agree, that this would make a stunning header

Alekoubas (Feb 15, 2013 at 4:15)

I just can't stop imagining a meteor ripping through that skyline above the rider, after all the footage I watched from the incident in Russia this morning.... amazing photo nevertheless...

dmrrider95 (Feb 15, 2013 at 5:48)

xander8, I like it and have just done it

I love the sunset light. Its awesome to see in real life, but this picture captures it, with a bike!, and makes it look even better

Jiffla (Feb 15, 2013 at 3:04)

jbike300jay (Feb 15, 2013 at 5:22)

Would have been better without the two orange bits at the bottom but still is a great photo

jerryhazard (Feb 15, 2013 at 7:46)

I agree....

the coating on my lens has some scratches, that's why the spots showed up...

jbike300jay (Feb 15, 2013 at 13:09)

Its still an amazing photo though , well done

gnarbar (Feb 15, 2013 at 16:55)

Boo hoo...sunlight flares NBD Actually enhances the pic IMO

jbike300jay (Feb 16, 2013 at 3:14)

EnduroBro (Feb 15, 2013 at 20:47)

POY material! Killed it as usual Jerry! Can't wait to get up and ride with you again. Maybe a road trip to ABQ is in my future! Well done sir!

jerryhazard (Feb 15, 2013 at 22:57)

Thanks Bro! Not quite as condensed trail-wise as other popular place, but there's more than plenty to keep riders like us busy! Come any time!

madoldgit (Jun 28, 2013 at 15:27)

And on the eighth day God did create jerryhazard and he saw that it was all good!, (and then he had a sleep!!)

Bullitproof (Apr 23, 2013 at 11:14)

yeaa. install something called xCode if you have a mac, you can download anything that has been locked by the developer... its just a bit of code you need to delete off the webpage and your golden

jerryhazard (Feb 15, 2013 at 7:42)

Not much, crushed the levels a bit, brought up shadows a bit, sharpened...

goodwin1066 (Feb 15, 2013 at 0:38)

Just a personal opinion, after all it is an open website. But with the location and the lighting making it a stunning picture, i think the riders position could have been better. Like sat up right on his saddle, or even manualing rather than looking like he's "hanging out his ass" . The thought has gone into the setting so just a little more thought for the rider. Anybody else with me ?

wayne-dc (Feb 15, 2013 at 0:41)

Sorry have to disagree the processing and composition is Da Bollocks and rider looks as if he is putting the power down.

Protour (Feb 15, 2013 at 12:43)

Photo-shopped

digital-criminal (Feb 15, 2013 at 12:51)

you have no idea how photography works do you... Its still damn hard to get exposure of that sky with sun beaming into your lens. Even if he p-shopped himself in there its still a sick photo. go back to your bridge troll....

Hacobo (Feb 15, 2013 at 16:39)

Ever been to New Mexico, Protour??? No? Then STFU before you see our beautiful sunsets in real life. Thanks man

jerryhazard (Feb 15, 2013 at 16:43)

Photoshopped? How so? What do you think has been "photoshopped"?

*most* images are photoshopped to some degree...

EricThiessen (Feb 15, 2013 at 18:48)

he strikes again!!!!!
