there is, but how has noone noticed the blatant face in the rocks?!

 "Totally bodacious"?

 me or him? considering i ride clipless.

 i dunno, being clipped in probably would have saved his leg from getting caught between the wheel

 it actually feels as if he's boring into my soul

 neither am i but i think i can make an exception for something this awesome.

 Am I just seeing things? Or is there actually an explanation there?

 zorba, im guessing its so that they can get the cleanest possible view at the start of their run. but i dont pretend to be an expert so it is just a guess.

 why does it have to look dh?

 but dropping off the end of the earth is so much more poetic.

 nah, it's gonna be like "thumbs up if you knew this picture before it was POD!"

 "hey, whats that shini... OH SHIT!!!!"

 tomer4eva, in soviet russia whips fart while doing people

 oh how i wish i lived there

 im sorry but its funny how much of a prick u appear to be teamn2. also uve gotta have some balls hitting a gap like that, props.

 the trick may have been more impressive if he landed but the pic itself would be no different. who gives a crap whether he lands it? the pic is awesome, nuff said

 im sorry but i take a trek fuel ex on dh runs and that a bloody xc bike, im sure a big hit could handle it

 i wouldnt exactly call a big hit a light freeride bike, more like a light dh

 rmesfcmdr9er, just cos its a crash doesnt mean it cant be pod, the picture itself is very artistic and thats what make it good. that, and its bloody hilarious.

 other than the fact that they're both jump bikes i dont really see any similarities

 yeah cos a helmet is wat really makes a POD

 was that game "no fear downhill mountain biking" by any chance?

 the colours, the perspective, the look on the guy's face, take your pick.

 forget the perspective and the clarity, forget the fact that its a huge drop, the pic just looks so natural, thats what makes it good. i think it was harder to take than we are giving credit for.

 smooth

 sly joke indeed, for an american

 you do realise that if it isn't ready they sure as hell aren't gonna race it in the world cup

 im relatively sure that if u tried jumping it at the same time it would end badly. probably with a big heap of bikes and people

 the only thing that looks even remotely similar to the v10 is the top tube, and even that doesn't look the same.

 what's better, 5 minutes checking over the bike or 5 weeks getting spare parts and fixing it?

 epic photos get POD whether its to do with scenery or riding. when you produce photos of that quality, then i'll start listening to your opinion.

 For me PODs are all about the picture and not about the riding, you can pull an insane trick but if the camerawork is shit the pic will be shit. whereas if the riding is crap but the photographer has got an epic shot then thats what pictures are all about.

 nah but we thought the pics looked epic whether he landed or not. we got close to landing though

 no, not another pinkbike douchebag, just someone with a dry sense of humour

 wow, sarcasm really doesn't transfer well over text
