@lunatyk - I was hoping you'll go through! Sweet work all last year man!
whatever happened to liberty?
Republicans are tired of rince, rove, bush, Mcconnell, and all those that fight against reforming the rnc whom are owned and operated by K street(lobbyist,.dc).
Startling how so many are clueless regarding the mindset of America right now.
Leaders in both parties have screwed the american citizenry out of jobs via bad trade deals, bad labor laws, unelected officals of epa making laws, and terrible corporate tax rates.
And did i say corruption...hillary is literally running to save her ass from indictment.
When Yugoslavia collapsed there was 16000000000 dollars debt. After 25 years on the same area ex Yugo states have 9 times (133000000000$ in 2012) bigger debt. And we arent even talking of so called "golden Tito era". I wont say that everything was better, but socialism was not so bad.
So if you are putting equals on socialism in current Sweden/Norway with pre 1989 Poland or Yugoslavia, you are a tool. Both Sweden and Norway are wealthy countries, thanks to export of natural resources and low population, they can afford socialism with no problem for the best of well-being of their citizens. .
bbbbut US had big depression in 1930s - yea and at that time Russia had fkng famine with millions of people dying you idiot.
Don't underestimate Trump. He is a talented showman with an eye for a good/bad deal. Rather than being the unhinged lunatic he appears, he is more likely reaching his goals through unorthodox (though calculated) means. What other way is there to jump the queue of insiders?
Politics in the U.S. today is just so much showmanship, which begs the question: who would do better in such an arena than a great showman? Combine this with an electorate sick of having no control over their democratically elected officials, and the choice for Joe Voter is easy. Our political class of brilliant fools may have finally met their match.
Voters are getting so frustrated that they will pick a great unknown, whose only promise is to disrupt the status quo, rather than continue along the same well-worn path. This may be good for the U.S., since the political status quo is dysfunction and inaction. Unfortunately, the rest of the world may have no choice but to join along in the wild ride.
Don't let my flag fool you. I am writing from Nevada; currently eyeballs-deep in the presidential primary process.

back to bikes this it's way to serious for my at work time wasting trip to pinkbike
Tough call on this one. Both epic shots.
A shot of some bloke and his steed balls out rallying through the woods just grabs my attention more than some Pro doing a setup picture perfect shot at a professional race course. Hence "organic". Perhaps I just relate better to the less scripted vibe and am not core enough to gaz over the $16,000 super bike contest? I'm OK with that.
It's just my opinion. Certainly others felt differently as there were lots of votes for it, it is a sweet pic no doubt.
It's really no big deal man.
Your "imma let you finish" type of reaction is childish. Nobody cares of what you think is the best photo. It doesn't matter. Get over it.

And it's Doerfling!!! EPIC shot.
i guess i like Trumpore's shot of what could be a rider, really committed
and pulling off a recovery & makin it stick, from what might've been a nasty washout.
it's visceral. and i connect with that more than the other image.
Sean Lee's image is great...but more playful.
Seems like everyone considers moutainbiking only dust and whips, without any consideration of the landscape or the difficulty to get some shots.
In my opinion the following images are the one which really I would considered to be on finals:
- Christoph Laue
- Dave Trumpore
- Michael Cerveny (On finals definetely)
- Steve Shannon (a master piece !)
- John Wellburn
- Sam Needham
In any case between the two finalist I prefer the image of Sean Lee.
