Photo Of The Day

Is that a flying squirrel?

Nope, that’s not a wildlife documentary.

That’s just Tommy G. soaring through the forest like he’s attached to a zipline.

Unfortunately, gravity had other plans for him last week. Sending all the healing vibes your way Tommy!

Video Of The Day

SO GOOD! Y’all should try to make some time for this one or jump to 2:00 to get hyped for your Monday.

If you thought riding bikes might eventually get old, this edit is here to say “absolutely not.”

Not Bored Yet isn’t just a riding edit. It’s a two-year-long love letter to mountain biking, packed with big sends, big laughs, and zero regrets.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the gnarliest gaps or fastest times. It’s about the stoke that keeps us coming back for more.

⏰ Watch time - 20 min 11 sec

BONUS: Giant MTB Seesaw = Backyard Rampage Madness 🔥

Brendog has been busy building a giant MTB seesaw in the garden.

As part of their home Rampage series, the mad ideas keep coming, and this one took a while to complete (thanks in no small part to the UK’s signature terrible weather).

But after some delays and a whole lot of trial and error, it’s finally finished, and it works perfectly!

⏰ Watch time - 13 min 25 sec or just skip to 10:14 for the action!

Finally a good use for all these malls!

Poll - Pushing the Limits or Just Pushing Riders Into the ER? 🤕

Tommy G with T2 & T3 fractures
Luce with a fractured fib

Between Red Bull Hardline and Natural Selection, we’ve seen more hospital wristbands than podium champagne lately.

Riders like Erice van Leuven have suffered severe injuries, including fractures to her back, neck, and wrist during practice at Red Bull Hardline.

Similarly, Thomas Genon, Thomas Isted, and Dylan Stark and others were sidelined from Natural Selection due to practice crashes.

With courses pushing the limits of what's rideable, we have to ask: Are mountain bike competitions becoming too dangerous?

Vote below and let us know where you stand on the fine line between pushing limits and pushing hospital bills.👇

Are mountain bike competitions becoming too dangerous?

No way! If you’re not scaring yourself a little, are you even riding?

Maybe a little… Let’s push boundaries, not spinal cords.

Absolutely. These courses are starting to look like Red Bull Jackass.

I’m just here for the crashes. Someone’s gotta keep the replay button warm.

Results - Winners, Losers & The Ones Who Just Came for the Vibes

A ton of events went down over the weekend, and while some people were out there crushing podiums, others were just happy to survive (and honestly, we respect that).
