would it be possible to scale the views with regards to how long each shot has been pod? for instance the shot of danny hart is quite recent whereas the vanyon gap shot has been around for near enough a month

it is difficult though, as that would lean things towards the most recent pod... since most PODs get the majority of their view in the first day

number of favorites per view would be a better measure

or a combination of the above so nobody can screw with the system.

IDK i kinda like the order of them as they sit, my favorite is the beer whip. Insta-classic.

Within a few days of being POD, the numbers trail off enough that they don't affect the end result enough to worry about. If it's a rad shot it'll get viewed a lot on POD day.

or gather up the top five and let us vote for the best ones

Here's what you do:

Take the view total after 10 days of it being POD.

then take the view count, ex. 10000 and divide it by 10 (the number of days it was up after it became pod) = adv. 1000 views a day

You can do the same with the favorites once you have both this information add the two together (favorite and view count) then divide by 2, this gives the average of both the favorite and view total.

not sure if this makes any sense but if were really into getting all mathy about it i think this would be the best way.

Have fun Brule! get that calculator out!

But just because its been viewed alot doesnt make it the best shot, just means it stands out most when on a smaller scale

I totally agree with Rasterman POM should be chosen by favs over views.

super sweet photos. Like the monthly roundups. Would also like to see some retrospectives of classic photos that started some careers, or changed the sport back in the day.
