It’s official—there are some seriously ambitious senders out there, and we’re here for it! Out of hundreds of submissions, the stoke is high, and the goals are big.
The only downside? Not a single soul committed to the full 365 days. Looks like we’ll have to keep waiting for someone to take on that ultimate year-long challenge.

Photo of the Day
It's officially the "Kolb Edition".
In the spirit of the industry news taking over your feeds, we figured it was only right to dedicate this entire newsletter to the man of the moment: Andreas Kolb.
Spoiler alert—no wonder YT snapped him up. The focus? Razor sharp. The speed? Blistering.
And let’s be real, the mustache? Absolutely world-class.

Video of the Day
Yesterday, we uncovered the Secret Society of Sketchy Trail Builders—think underground ninjas but with chain saws and questionable liability insurance.
If you missed it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Catch up here.
One of the standout gems was the jaw-dropping build for Lost Paradise 3. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Eliott drops a 5-minute behind-the-scenes edit.
Massive props to the builders. This is Picasso-level trail crafting.
If you haven’t seen Lost Paradise 3 yet? Congrats, you’ve just hit the internet jackpot. Go spend 2 minutes watching it, and thank us later.
Only have 10 seconds? Watch the aerial footage at 3:17.

Industry Update - Andreas Kolb Leaves Atherton Racing To Join the YT Mob
Big moves in the downhill world! Andreas Kolb has officially swapped his Atherton Racing digs for a shiny new spot on the YT Mob.
Rumor has it, he left a "thanks for everything" text in the Atherton group chat...but no emojis.
Kolb’s been on fire lately, and it looks like the YT Mob saw their chance to lock down one of the sport’s rising stars.
Meanwhile, the Athertons are probably installing extra locks on the team bus—just in case anyone else gets ideas.
As for Kolb? He’s already hyping his new ride, saying he’s ready to send it harder than ever. Only time will tell if the Mob’s infamous “party pace” matches his speed on track.
Stay tuned—this season is going to get spicy!

We were due for a good hard tail and Sklar Bikes thankfully delivered.
This is a beautiful Tall Tale Complete with the AXS GX build kit.
Simply gorgeous.

Trail of the Day
Insufficient Funds - Bike Park Whales
Insufficient Funds nearly didn't get built...hence the name.
We are glad it did though, this trail starts off rocky and rough but soon turns in to a jumpy flowing fast trail that drops your right back at the uplift pickup point. Some great jumps and transfer lines on this trail.

Laugh of the Day
