Photo of the Day

Golden hour vibes to kick things off right today. Bienvenido Aguado crushes it yet again, winning us over with his infectious smile and unmistakable flair on the bike.

Fun fact: his smile is so big it’s rumored to reduce drag mid-air, which explains how he pulls off those insane tricks. #science

Tall handle bars, moto vibes, hair like a greek god, yup… we’re talking about Dakotah Norton!

Despite facing intense competition and the physical demands of the sport, Dak has proven himself to be among the top riders, consistently a threat to the podium. Known for his creative approach to line choices, unique riding style and sheer speed on the track, he pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in downhill racing.

And his shampoo bill? He’s spending more than my wife that’s for sure.

Only have a few minutes? Start at 4:34 to hear about Dakotah’s mindset and watch him dominate on the track.

The Secret Society of Sketchy Trail Builders

A letter to the builders 👇

Every rider has stumbled upon that trail—the one that’s not on the map, with a ladder drop that looks like it was built by a pirate ship carpenter and a gap jump you probably shouldn’t attempt on your first try.

These trails don’t just appear; they’re the work of the unsung heroes of our sport: the secret society of sketchy trail builders.

Armed with questionable tools, boundless creativity, and just enough recklessness to keep things spicy, these artists of dirt are the reason mountain biking is as thrilling as it is unpredictable.

From the mossy woods of the Pacific Northwest to the rugged Rockies, these builders often fly under the radar, known only by their call signs—Trail Wizard, Berm Lord, or simply “Steve.”

They don’t just build trails; they create experiences, crafting lines that blur the boundary between genius and insanity.

Take, for instance, Jason “Shovel Samurai” Morgan, whose infamous gap-to-wallride has claimed more derailleurs than we can count. Or Luna “Chainsaw Queen” Torres, who hand-carved a full pump track into the side of a cliff—because, why not?

While their creations are sometimes polarizing (you either ride it or you hike it out), the passion and grit behind these builds are undeniable.

So next time you find yourself staring down a questionable feature, tip your helmet to the sketchy trail builders—they’re the unsung legends keeping our sport as wild as ever.

In that spirit, here are three of our favorite sketchy features. Enjoy!

Dream Rides ❤️

Commencal absolutely crushed it with the Meta SX—this rig is a park bike machine that’s stealing hearts (and KOMs) left and right. But let’s talk about Jerónimo Paez’s setup for a sec… those gold TRP brakes? Pure drip 🤤.

Funny enough, one of our Send It Daily crew is snagging one on Wednesday for a full-on review.

Will it live up to the hype? Stay tuned—because we’re about to find out!
