Photo of the Day

Sometimes the best shots are fresh off the lens. Other times, they sit quietly, waiting to shine.

This beauty comes from 2022, with Andreu Lacondeguy going full-send during golden hour. Massive, iconic, and worth the wait.

We’re stoked to finally bring this gem to light. Timeless freeride. Perfect light. Lacondeguy doing what he does best.

📸 The very talented Paris Gore behind the lens.

Video of the Day

We’ve got a 144 seconds of white knuckling lined up for you this AM. If your coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, this will do the trick.

Brage Vestavik just dropped POV footage from one of the gnarliest big mountain freeride lines we’ve ever seen.

The line? Steep. Loose. Rowdy. The kind of stuff that’ll have you gripping your desk like it’s a set of handlebars.

Watching it in the local coffee shop? Yeah, we were sweating bullets and very glad we remembered deodorant this morning.

Biggest Send of the Year?

Ihan Patiño Attempts 85-Foot Flip Drop in 'All or Nothing'

If you haven’t heard the name Ihan Patiño, now’s the time to pay attention. The young Argentinean free rider is putting South America firmly on the map with some of the biggest sends we’ve seen this year.

Living and working at Pyt’s Park in Chile, Ihan’s not just throwing down—he’s chasing history. His goal? To become the first South American rider to drop in at Red Bull Rampage. But as anyone who’s built and ridden these monster features knows, getting there isn’t easy.

From Fest Series sessions in Europe to lessons learned the hard way, Ihan’s already proving he’s got the guts and grit to push the limits of freeriding. It’s not all clean landings and perfect builds—it’s a process of progression, setbacks, and sending it again and again.

Keep your eyes peeled. Ihan Patiño is just getting started.

👇 WARNING - This short video can hurt to watch👇

It all started the day I decided to stop the car and go up the hill to see if it was possible to do a massive drop. After imagining it and thinking about it, the idea was clear: Do a flip from up there. With 3 friends and some work tools we managed to finish cleaning the landing in 1 day, it was all we needed to be able to jump.

We arranged a day of filming with my friends and my brother from Argentina traveled to Chile to photograph this. Without taking any measurements of what I was going to jump, it was very difficult to calculate something so big at 8 in the morning and without first trying a normal jump.

The first attempt had to be a flip, since I didn’t feel comfortable trying straight, That’s how it was, the first jump was a flip and the sensations were very crazy.

With the fall I cut my adductor tendon, which left me unable to get back on the bike, and a few days later I decided to go with my friends to measure the gap. We realized there that there were 26 meters of drop, with a height of 20 meters.

I had the opportunity to go with Nico Vink to look at the gap and get all the tips and help possible to rebuild and try again next year. I will try again and that is clear to me...."

Bike Porn

There’s a lot to love about this one. Tora Cycles brought the heat today with a handmade steel rig that’s equal parts nostalgia and innovation.

This isn’t your average mullet setup—it’s rocking a 26/24-inch combo, paired with a classic Manitou fork and Arrow Racing rims. It’s the kind of bike that stops you in your tracks and makes you do a double-take.

Handcrafted. Unique. And oozing style. Hats off to Tora Cycles for this absolute gem.

Got a bike that makes your friends drool? We wanna see it! Shoot us an email at editorial@thesenditdaily.com, and maybe your ride will be the next superstar.

Poll

Is your bike more expensive than your car?

You know you’re a mountain biker when the rig in your garage costs more than the one in your driveway. Carbon everything, custom suspension, and a drivetrain that’s smoother than the sound of a Kenny G Christmas album. Meanwhile, your car's rocking a "Check Engine" light and questionable brakes.

So, let’s settle this: Is your bike more expensive than your car? Vote now and let us know where your priorities (and your money) really lie.

Yes, my bike costs more than my car. Priorities. 🚲 > 🚗

No, I’m not a dirtbag like the rest of you senders. 😂
