haha, sorry mate

 with all due respect Ian, and i promise thats ALOT because i hold you in very high regard, but 9 out of 24 is over a third. which means every third day we see dirt jumping. i understand its probably the most commercial of all genres in the mtb world and so as a result there are many more pics of it that would be good, thus making selecting other good pics difficult. but im sure you can understand it gets a little frustrating at times when i log on and every third pic has, in essence, the same feel to it! again, i respct your work and effort and am in no way saying you do a bad job at picking pics!

 ok, i can see it was a bit bitchy of me to just say "lame" and i do apologise to the photographer as indeed you do have as much skill behind a lens as the rider in the pic! i respect you and your work. i am just a little frustrated with what seems like the domination of dirt jumping pics as POD's! mountain biking is such a diverse sport yet it seems we only get to see a few sides of it on POD. surely a POD in essence in essence should just capture the heart of riding! be it a sick dirt jump trick or even (and this may piss some people off) but maybe even a scenery picture every now and then to get the exploration juices flowing! it seems people have forgotten that we are allowed our own opinions! again, i apologise for the lack of respect for a great picture! way better than i have ever taken! ian i look forward to seeing the pictures you choose every morning!keep up the amazing work!

 shred, either you are a hypocrit or a sold out wimp who doesnt have a pair big enough to express your thoughts at the risk of being neg propped!

 i think its a really average picture as far as pictures go! im sick of dirt jumping pictures! we want more freeriding pics! big mountain stuff!
