Nice capture! Just looking at his rear shock and it appears he has something different going on here? Compared to the normal sloapstyle SX frame! Any answers?
Ah yes i know that but on closer inspection, i have been informed that, the mass covering his air shock which is only just visible, is in fact a custom gear selector for his rear mech which is bolted on just above the shock mounting making it look modified on this pic.
Look again closely at the pic and you will see the air shock is only just visible behind the custom gear selector.
Ya learn something new every day!
I'm not "dissing the Claw", and I'm not making myself look stupid. If you knew anything, you'd know that POD's are chosen for the quality of the photo, not for the quality of the riding. The Claw shreds, and this picture doesn't do him justice, so therefore, I stated my opinion in which I said that this picture was not worthy of the title "POD" and I stand by it.
Really? To be honest I choose a lot of the POD's. Its chosen on what the website thinks about it (views, favorites, and comments), along side with the quality of the riding, and the image. To be honest I personally really like this image. It shows a sense of power, and to be honest Claw doesnt just tick whips off like you would think, this is work for him.
People come onto these every day and say "Ohh that's not very good blah blah". It's, like you said, opinions. It's like them posting a song of the day and you coming on and saying "this isn't very good", when the majority of people agree it's a great POD. In other words, stop being so judgmental and go ride a bike.
