Dear Cam Zink,
I think what you're doing with Hyper to spread MTB is awesome, I'm just joking around trying to be a Pinkbike cliché.

its deffinetly photoshopped. no question about that but like they said its just the fact of kids being out there shredding and why not. its the kids weekend anyhow i say bring on the kids pics during easter and x-mas especially. im sure they are stoked!!!!

I can't say for sure, but to me this photo looks like she's posing... look at how her hands are positioned lower to the ground. Any how it is a nice picture, you cant deny it!

I hope she raked up that berm she just destroyed or else the trail boss is going to be in a pissy mood today...

You have to laugh about the trends of MTB world haha, implying most of the converstion above. Is it me and as cool as this phot is, does there seem to be a photo shopped rooster tail above

I know these are all jokes, but If the Rheeder got robbed one refers to Highland's comp last summer, then its really not true/worth mentioning. Semenuk did get points for being Semenuk, but being Semenuk means that you have the smoothest style out there. Semenuk and Rheeder's runs were pretty much the same in technical difficulty if I remember correctly (I was there watching), and Semenuk's style was unmatched by anybody else there. He was steezy as hell with an emphasis on the ease part.

Its a terrible photo why is this a photo of the month jeez!! It's very cleary staged and despite it being staged its still a shitty photo!
- 5 1
@Samtomkins, Its a POM because people like you that think you are all high n mighty and want to comment (giving it Views) on it to make yourself feel good. Yes the photo was staged... come on a 4 year old could figure that out. The point of the photo is the this 4 YEAR old girl was out having fun with the us. Look at the smile!

this is soooo rigged. she only has one knee pad on which she is rested on and look at the googles too! and shes smiling idk about you guys but most people dont model when they are hammering down a trail!!!

Haha the goggles take up like half of her face. And did someone just toss some dust in the top right corner of this picture?

All that matters in thsi pictures is that BIG smile on her face...........thats what riding any bike should be.
Cheers

Haha this is awesome! Not sure if she's actually moving but if she is she shreds ten times harder than me when I was her age!

It's just shocking to me that it isn't obvious. It makes me think most of the commenters on this site have never actually hit a berm.

upon closer inspection, you will notice the "smile" is actually a look of horror as the poor kid is about to get a mouthful of berm, just so her daddy can have a cool shot to show all of us.....and to that I say thank you to all the neglectful parents out there. Without you there would be no AFV, Jackass, or basically ANY footage of kids doing dangerous and cool shit. Hat's off to you.
I effin LOVE this POD. Staged or not, that kid will probably shred some day.

MendoBrando805, will this child be able to shred, if she stays still and just poses for p.o.d.s?

Wow...some people take this REALLY seriously. Haha!
No, it's not "shopped", yes it was for fun, yes the dirt was thrown in as I clicked the shutter, we had one light off camera right behind me.
This is my friend's daughter, and we were out for an evening of shooting on the trails with the big boys. She was so stoked to be out there. I have two little ones of my own, and I couldn't be more stoked to see how jazzed she was to be included. These little ones will be the future of the sport...we all started somewhere.
I am so stoked to get POD with the first photo I have up on pinkbike...that wasn't a bike for sale.
Go Charley Go!!

All you hater suck ass! It's a little girl with a couple parents that love to ride and love their kid!
Maybe, when you people grow up or get over the fact that its ALL about the huge air and wicked this and sick that.....you may realize this whole biking thing is a brotherhood, and you should be stoked that this little kid and other little kids are getting into the sport so young!
Good pic mom and dad.
Coming from a guy with two of his own.

I wouldnt say photoshoped, but i dont like them calling out what its not. I love the pic, but i dont think the kid is even moving, just leaning on the berm posed for the shot, you can se what she leaning on and the dirt is falling, as if thrown, not pushed up by the tires. Great shot yes, a pinned dragging the bars, no.

I wouldn't really say it's POD worthy :/ But it's a good picture anyway! Like the dirt in the air too, makes it look like she's roosting the berm whilst being pinned! haha

Sweet shot! It appears as though she has some roost going as well, just to prove that she was actually moving when she did this!! Got me stoked to go shred for real!

she's posing,..........her shin is leaning on the ground as is her handlebar
and the dirt spray behind her head is not from the bike its from another photo or it was thrown in for affect as you can see she's not even moving to cause some dirt spray as her hair isnt flowing in the air its laying on her shoulders ?!?!?!?
