Solid pod candidate here Just an amazing picture dude! It's eerily beautiful with the aumenous fog looming along with the distance it was taken from just makes for a perfect photo well shot my friend!

Thanks! I normally don't venture into the photography side of things but I am trying my hand at it! Definitely didn't expect it to come out this nicely.

pretty good picture for just tryin out photography! although im sure your filming skills helped out! try and get the rider/road to bee a little more off to the side of the picture. i dunno why, but the 1/3rd's rule always works magic. tree line on each side draws you to the rider too!

jasperwesselman (May 19, 2013 at 22:00)

Yeah that was bugging me right away with this shot. I wish I had scooted like 3 or 4 feet over to the left!

This picture made me think of the Imagine Dragons album, but with a more badass twist to it.

beanbelly (May 22, 2013 at 18:44)

Yeah yeah yeah totally man!! It's like the album cover of Megalithic Symphony by AWOL Nation mixed with the imagine dragons cover I see what your saying!!

DUDE THATS A HIGH BUNNY HOP FOR A DH BIKE !!!!!!!

I think the fact that its an unknown rider makes even better! Gives a certain mysteriousness to the photo that is backed up with the fog. A well deserved POD!

Love me some PNW pictures, nothing quite like some local shred to get the stoke up.

POD! The composition on this is rad and deserves to be shown, far more than some of the other pods in the last few weeks!
