For next year can we please put a requirement that anyone under the age of 18 cannot vote past the 2nd round? Good friggen jesus christ. Its like the 2016 presidential elections all over again. He's even looking at the camera showing an incredibly bad staged f*cking shot. You kids are f*cking idiots!
What was that JC said (allegedly)... "Forgive the little children; they know not what they do"
Have a gold day...
and just in case, before anyone starts accusing Scott of telling women what they can do with their bodies, ask him if he was serious. Remember to be polite people, uncle Felton is watching, fearing he will have another Palm to Forehead moment soon.
Step 1. Build small berm
Step 2. Pile up loose dirt on bottom of berm
Step 3. Get out cell phone
Step 4. Have friend ride straight into berm and slam on rear brake while mugging camera
Step 5. Apparently profit?
I feel like if the roost shot wins, I might as well delete my PB account as this place has nothing more for me.
But hey, I guess a roost photo will appeal to the masses.
Skills I have acquired over a very long riding career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people who vote like you.
So, if you vote for Steve Shannon now, that'll be the end of it.
I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you vote for Wolinski's roost shot, I will look for you... I will find you and I WILL revoke your PB membership permanently."
So, who honestly thought the roost shot wouldn't make it at least this far, regardless of whether you like it?
Personally, it doesn't talk to me at all, but I see how many "bears of little brain" would.
Oh, and just to pre-empt some who don't get the reference, the "bear of little brain" is a reference to Winnie the Pooh www.thebestbrainpossible.com/a-bear-of-little-brain
Okay all fair and square the aurora shot was the most deserving of the dub
For next year can we please put a requirement that anyone under the 170mm of travel cannot vote past the 2nd round? Good friggen jesus christ. Its like the 2016 presidential elections all over again.

HERE'S EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE VOTING THE ROOST SHOT.
Les 2 Alpes; that day we had planned a morning shoot with Bartek, and although we knew the wake up call would have been hella early we still went deep in the party.. We woke up with a mad hangover but we somehow managed to show up just 30 min late to the meeting. We began shooting here and there on the trails, it was hot and we were sweating the drinks from the night before, actually some of us (Luis biscaldi) could barely stand still on the bike and crashed on every corner we shot that morning ahah.
Towards the end of the shooting we found this mad dusty fire road, it was like walking on the moon. There were 20cm of brown "powder" laying on the floor. Bartek immediately got fired up to shot some heavy roosts...
Both Nick and Luis did a couple of runs each. Ultimately, the last roost by Nick (this photo) blew us away. Bartek's set up was pretty much destroyed but he was laughing like a kid
We were all super hyped with the shot and we start packing our stuff to head back to the village when a guy that had been watching us doing roost for a while, dropped in and tried to roost in the exact same spot as Nick, except he snapped the rear end of his banshee in two pieces and went down head first. Even tho we felt pretty bad for the guy it was the funniest thing ever. The dude started walking down the hill carrying what was left of his bike on his shoulders. We could not stop laughing.
