Photo Of The Day

We skipped the usual Photo of the Day and went all out. Yep, you’re getting a full-on photo story below. Because you deserve to be spoiled. 😉 Keep scrolling and enjoy!

Video Of The Day

The YT Mob Downhill crew said “no thanks” to frozen toes and soggy European trails, kicking off their season in sunny South Africa.

Between sending it on some of Africa’s finest tracks, they went on safari (because dodging lions is the ultimate reaction test) and battled it out in paddle tennis where the crashes were arguably more dramatic than on the bikes.

Bikes, wild animals, and questionable sports skills?

Peak team bonding.

BONUS: Rémy Métailler just dropped a 2024 highlight reel that’s nothing short of mind-melting.

If we had to sum it up in one word? Mesmerizing.

Photo Story: Brage Vestavik and PLANET Alaska

Missed PLANET Alaska in Friday’s edition?

Fix that. Block off 20 minutes, cancel your meetings, fake a bathroom break... whatever it takes and watch it here. You won’t regret it

A huge shout out to Red Bull and photographer Ale Di Lullo who made this photo story possible.

These shots are absolutely mind blowing.

Words from Brage himself. ENJOY!

“The whole factor of the unknown really plays a part in what I love about riding. It's just that little part of not knowing and having to figure it out as you're riding, and the whole part of your mind getting shut off and your body just acting – it's like you're shutting off the rest of the world, and you're just kind of dancing. Even though you don't know what to do, you still know exactly what to do, and it's a crazy feeling.”

“Back in the day, I used to ski the whole winter, so I always loved skiing. And my dad also had a lot of old big mountain snowboard and ski movies, so I grew up watching those DVDs. Alaska has always been part of those movies, so I’ve always known about Alaska. It’s like the pinnacle of big mountain. And after starting to do more freeride stuff, Alaska has been in the back of my mind, but it’s not until the last year I’ve been like, ‘whoa, I can actually get out there,’ and even now – months after being there – it feels kind of unreal thinking about that I’ve been there. Riding.”

“I feel that riding in the big mountains for mountain bikers is still such a new thing. We have so much to learn, especially from how the snowboarders and skiers read the terrain. And that’s something that really inspires me, to find a way of moving down the mountain in a flowy and smooth way, almost like water.”

“Pushing and innovating the sport has never really been an inspiration or something I want to do. What I'm into is just riding what I think is fun, and what drives me. I don't even like calling it a sport. When I'm riding, I just like to disappear into that world, and I don't even think about riding. It's just more of an expression, in a way.”

If we had this bike, we’d totally be crushing XC and flying up climbs like mountain goats on espresso. 🐐☕️

It’s definitely all about the bike... right?

Trail of the Day

1 Knight - Auckland

Smooth, fast, and bermed to perfection.

1 Knight in Auckland is pure flow heaven.

You’ll find a few spots to pop off the ground, but nothing that’ll launch you into next week.

Perfect for ripping laps and grinning the whole way down.
