NOT IN DURANGO.... it's somewhere south of Durango. Hazard sends his line in Area 52. One of many undiscovered lines that have never been ridden. Go find some...
i think that it would be a better picture had it been taken from in front of the rider, so we can see what he's doing.
Yes, the background is ace, but i'm not sure that alone merits POD.
Why is this a POD? I think the photo is lacking around the area of the rider. The rock formations look breath taking, but the eroding land and the back of a rider kinda take away from what the photo could really be
after reading some of the comments above, i can agree that it captures the idea that the rider is pushing the limits of where you can ride and how where you ride can beautifully bond you the sport of biking but the photo is lacking POD solely on the fact that the picture is half great and half assed
i understand where your coming from but to me this is more inspiring than someone hucking it off some huge jump that i can never do, on some trail that i will never ride. to me this puts me in the moment, i would much rather look at pictures like this before i go for a ride and to me that is what POD is, what inspires the riders to go out and ride. some people like the DJ pod's for that reason as well, i just find riding down rocks more attainable than this
i really like this pic
it really unique with the lighting that u picked
it looks really cool to how the black rock feels like its coming out of the pic
great job
ya ok ,it's a great sceanic shot, but i thought that these POD's were supposed to be focused on biking. What is he riding? Does he actually ride these rocks? If i wanted pictures of rocks i wouldnt be looking on PB
and for the record no-POD's are not supposed to be focused on biking, it is focused on the sport of biking, if it were on biking there would POD's of linkage systems, and trick pedals and stuff, not that i would have a problem with that, but it is about how the riders and there bikes push the limits, and or where riding can take you, the scenes you see while biking the obstacles that a simple concept has grown to be able to drop 25' or ride down rock faces, like the POD YESTERDAY it was just a rider going down a rock face with some trees, but it is still an amazing picture and totally deserved pod, as does this one.
I like how the background is just a little blurry but the rider is so crisp it makes it seems (a bit 3D and)like he is just about to go on a journey into a pit of unknown regions LIKE A MAN WOULD. sorry guys i'm a little blitzed.
Thanks! now if only people would stop negative propping us. i posted this again (after this one) toward the top a bit and it's at +6, just goes to show how pointless props are
Ok i looked at his bike, it's pretty nice and don't get me wrong i'm not doubting this guy's skills(can't do that from one pic) I'm just saying it would have been nice to be able to see more of the bike and rider in this pic, that's all. It's kinda fun to see biker's facial expressions and such
The last few pods have been all about the scenery, i think they should be more about the riding and the amazingness of the riding not the scenery. But a combination of the two does make a perfect pod.
yeah i think pods should be mainly about the riding, but if every so often we get one that's mainly focussed on scenery no problem, this is still a wicked shot! you can guess that his line will be sick anyway...

yeah i do agree this is a great shot and the riding in that place would be amazing, but. They could of got a shot of him actually droppping 25' with a big flatty or something like that, i not saying this is a bad shot but i think it should be more about the riding.
I can't think of anything more about the riding than plummeting down a canyon on your steed with no course or cleared trails, you know really just going out and ...riding really.
