Selected by Ian Hylands - I really wanted a POD of Semenuk after the contest this weekend, and this one just really blows my mind. Not only is he boosting way high on this whip, but his back wheel is ahead of his front wheel and his bars are turned back toward the landing....
Zac i joined you on that one, i seen the thumbnail knew it was going to be a gary glitter and opened it up and was just like yes new desktop background , wish it was as easy as he makes for us to do these, because i would be loving my biking life being able to chuck whips like that out
The twitch whip is awesome aswell but if i was to whip like anyone id love to be able to whip like potter because he gets them so far, i love the carmichael whips best out of anyone though if you have seen them you will know what im talking about
Selected by Ian Hylands - I haven't personally picked any of my own shots for POD, and I won't pick very many.
Selected by Ian Hylands - Once again I've chosen my own shot as POD, I hope you don't mind too much.

I guess you have gotten over not wanted to pick your own shots for POD...3 in less than 33 days.
About this photo amazing as always. Mad props to Semenuk. I am sure that I would be too busy with my jaw on the ground in total disbelief of his skills to even take a photo so good job to you to Ian.
There is beginning to be a lot of PODs from Ian Hyland. Not that I dont think his pics are worthy, I just think PODs should be from others that aren't already hired by Pinkbike, and already get tons of pics published on the site already with coverage and stories. Its pretty funny that a POD would be selected from the same person who took the shot.
"I really wanted a POD of Semenuk after the contest this weekend.... "
I'm sure that in a few days there would've been more than enough shots of Semenuk by other photographers that were worthy of POD from this contest, and quite possibly almost the same shot that you have here. In fact, there probably are already now.
I love your photography Ian, but it would be nice to see other's work in these contests. One of your other ones I not only saw on the site, but in a local newspaper ...
Ian Hyland, your photos are cool, but your skills criticising photos is pretty much terrible, do you actually have any knowledge of photography at all, or can u just take a nice picture?? Sometimes I wonder...
And it would be nice if we could see a POD that wasn't actually chosen by the person who took it...
Well let's see, in the 200 and some days that I've been working for Pinkbike I've chosen my own photo 3 times, so I can understand why you're upset. And as far as my knowledge of photography I've been shooting Mountain Biking since before you were born, and several other sports for 10 years before that. And I teach College Level Photography as well. So while I don't really mind criticism, yours is a little off base.
He got it out there, but he didn't even come close to bringing it back. so Vanderham is still that step ahead. you can see it at the end of this video.
Not sure what you're talking about Brandon not bringing it back? He landed every one that I shot, solid! I have full sequences of a few of them, when I have some time I'll upload them...
Thats what a real whip looks like, moto style. These DH racers keep having whip contests on these little jumps, you need a real booster for whips. Sem will gladly school them on whips any day.
i wouldn't call Crabapple Hits little mate. I think the biggest there is almost 40 foot. the Whip Off Worlds vids make them look small, but they are some massive fuck off jumps.
