Photo of the Day

The countdown is on, and Natural Selection is about to pop off and shots like this are getting us PUMPED!

We’re fired up to watch Talus Turk and the crew go full send, because if there’s one thing this event guarantees, it’s massive lines, wild creativity, and a whole lot of “did they just land that?!” moments.

Video of the Day

When Eliot Jackson drops a film, we hit pause on life and press play.

This one’s no exception. Not only does he shred the trails, but he rips just as hard on the guitar (because apparently, some people get all the talent).

Since the filming of this video, LA has been devastated by fires. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted, and if you’re in a position to help, here’s how you can donate.

Watch the video, appreciate the artistry, and if you can, lend a hand. ❤️👇

⏰ Watch time - 2 min 13 sec

BONUS: We used to say, “It’s snowing, guess I can’t ride.”

But apparently, Vinny T didn’t get the memo. Instead, he went full gas at the Snowbike World Championships, proving that snow isn’t a reason to stop, just a reason to go faster.

So yeah, winter shredding is officially a thing. Check it out and prepare to feel slow. 👇

Trail(s) of the Day

Colorado Trail - 485 Miles of Pure Adventure

Thinking about tackling the Colorado Trail?

Buckle up, because whether you ride a section or the full 485-mile beast from Denver to Durango, you're in for a next-level journey.

This trail isn’t just big. It’s epic. It winds through six National Forests, six Wilderness areas, five major river systems, and eight different mountain ranges.

Oh, and it was built by thousands of volunteers who wanted to make sure you had the best suffering-to-scenery ratio possible.

Want to see what it’s all about? Check out this award-winning film about a 64-year-old’s 540-mile bikepacking journey across the Colorado Trail.

That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you tomorrow! 🤙

We write The Send It Daily Monday - Friday (we’re out riding on the weekends). We do not proofread our material before sending and did not get A’s in English.

Our mission is simple: To advocate and bring awareness to the athletes that Send It and the media teams that capture it.
