Great form and shot in the shot of Mr. Lewis, however, Trailriding got my vote for the feel of intensity and that late afternoon sun...what can I say, it was grey and cloudy today, and 24*.

Billy Lewis cranked table top with both feet still on the pedals FTW. With all the ugly mtb untrundown foot out things we see, I was beginning to forget what an actual table top looked like.
Pictures of frogs do not impress me, whether there was a lot of effort applied or not. A bunch of engineers put a lot of effort into building the space shuttle Challenger, but I don't grade performances based on effort.

For MTB style, I liked #4 the best. But in terms of effort applied, Mr. Frog wins for me.
