@scottsecco: It's okay. It doesn't look like most of the community cares about POD like they used to either. Remember when POD's would average 100+ comments, 30,000+ views?
@justiceondirt: the pod lost touch with riders and turned into some dumb photography contest... yes this is a cool pic but wheres the mtn biker? i miss when pod wasnt just about composition but what was going down in the photo was rad.
@whitebullit: Fair enough, but if you restrict POD to not include shots like this you basically make POD stagnate. Roosts ever other day, dirt jump shots, and hauling ass are great, but they don't motivate me to get out and ride and explore like these sorts of shots.
@whitebullit: I think the decline has more to do with the rise of video in the last five years. People want to watch the rider in action than to look at pretty colours for 3 seconds.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Let's protect our wilderness areas wherever they are on this rock. This kinda stuff is worth fighting for. That is simply beautiful.
