Photo of the Day
Sometimes there are photos that make you pause and wonder. This shot is no exception.
JB Liautard captured pure magic as Jaxson Riddle sent it straight into the darkness.
Style, precision, and a whole lot of mystery. No surprise it landed a spot in Red Bull Illume.
I don't shoot a lot of events but Red Bull Rampage is probably the favourite I've been to. Even though it's great to see the riders pushing their limits, it's really hard to shoot as there's a lot of actions happening everywhere and being at the right spot at the right time is definitely not an easy task.
I was just sitting on a ridge talking to some of my friends when I noticed the lip of this jump lit by a ray of sun. I was already pretty happy with my photo but I had no idea Jaxson was about to hit the jump a couple of seconds later. Luckily, when I heard his name, I knew my settings were already good but I didn't expect him to be lit up as well. I was lucky enough that nobody was standing down there in the frame.

Video of the Day
Neko Mulally kicked off the year the right way. Soaking up SoCal’s sunshine, turning laps, and geeking out at 5DEV’s fully automated CNC factory.
Fast bikes, precision machining, and a solid chance of a sunburn? Sounds like a trip well spent!

Send of the Day
Jackson Goldstone sending it to the moon at McGazza Fest last weekend!
A Moment to Remember Kelly McGarry
This past weekend, riders gathered in New Zealand for McGazza Fest, the annual celebration of the one and only Kelly McGarry.
Eight years after his passing, his impact on freeride is as strong as ever. His infectious energy, massive sends, and pure love for the sport still fuel the community he helped build.
McGarry’s legacy is defined by some of the most iconic moments in mountain biking. Let’s take a look at a few. 👇
His 72-foot canyon gap backflip at Red Bull Rampage 2013 is the stuff of legend, an all-time moment in freeride history.
Then there was his mind-bending road gap backflip at the Queenstown Dream Track, a perfect mix of style and send.
And, of course, his massive step-down at Rampage 2015, where he once again proved he had no fear. Just pure stoke.
McGazza Fest isn’t just about remembering those moments though. It’s about carrying on his spirit, riding with friends, and keeping the good times rolling. Just like Kelly would have wanted.
RIP - Ride in peace, legend.

Trail of the Day
Bobsled - Salt Lake City, Utah
This Salt Lake City classic delivers fast, rough, and rowdy DH action from top to bottom.
The trail kicks off at a flat staging area (perfect for suiting up and talking a little pre-ride smack) before dropping into a high-speed gauntlet of rough berms, brake bumps, and the occasional spring runoff carving a sneaky line down the middle.
From there, it opens up into big, sculpted berms with plenty of jump and gap options, including the legendary old rusty car gaps. Because what’s a proper freeride line without a little abandoned metal?
Cross the road to hit the 'Peter’s Drops' section, a final dose of tech before finishing up on 11th Ave. Classic SLC.
Laugh of the Day
When there is Strava KOM confusion 😂
That’s all for today folks. Hope everyone gets some saddle time today. See you all tomorrow! 🤙
For the ❤️ of two wheels.
