The LAST edition of the week and we're going out full gas! Natural Selection is going down, we’ve got two banger edits to kickstart your weekend, a pump track masterclass, and Rob Warner doing what Rob Warner does best. LET'S SEND IT👇
830 words of pure stoke.
Read time: 4 min 06 seconds.
Before we all roll into the weekend, we just want to say THANK YOU.
Seriously, the fact that there are people out there as obsessed with mountain biking as we are makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside (or maybe that’s just the post-ride donut talking).
We’re stoked that you take a few minutes out of your day to read our ramblings, laugh at our bad jokes, and get hyped on bikes with us.
Enjoy Edition 300. We sure had a blast writing it.
For the ❤️ of two wheels.

Photo Of The Day
We’re itching to see what Tom Isted throws down at Natural Selection this weekend.
Unfortunately, there’s no live feed, so we’re stuck in suspense like it’s the season finale of a TV show we actually care about.
So, keep us posted Tom. Or at least drop a smoke signal if things get extra spicy. 🔥

Video Of The Day
Did every MTB filmmaker hold a secret meeting and decide to drop all their edits at the same time?
Because holy content overload.
You’re keeping us very busy (not that we’re complaining).
After sifting through hours of fresh footage, we’ve got our top pick to kickstart your week.
Plus a bonus video if you’ve got a few extra minutes (or just don’t feel like working yet).
First up, Dakoda Osusky has been cooking up some serious heat for his debut video with YT.
The way he throws this e-bike around like it’s a BMX? Unreal.
Physics might have some questions, but we’re here for it.
⏰ Watch time - 3 min 38 sec
BONUS: Bas is back at it, absolutely pounding out some serious lines in Rotorua, NZ.
Speed? Check. Style? Check. Making the rest of us question our bike-handling skills? Double check.
Good to have you back, Bas. Now everyone, hit play and take notes.
⏰ Watch time - 1 min 41 sec

Crankworx Is Here! - Summer Series New Zealand
Hold onto your handlebars folks.
The Crankworx Summer Series is hitting Christchurch from February 13-16, 2025 (aka now).
After a brief hiatus (thanks, Port Hills fire), the festival is back and bigger than ever.
We’re talking FMBA Gold Level Slopestyle (a New Zealand first!), Redemption Downhill, and the Christchurch Pump Track Challenge.
Expect epic tricks, blazing speeds, and more "Did you see that?!" moments than your stoke levels can handle.
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just here for the crashes (we won't judge), this is the place to be.
So dust off your cowbells, and get ready to witness some two-wheeled wizardry.
Want a sneak peak? Bernard Kerr gives us a peak behind the curtain for the DH race.👇
Dream Rides ❤️
Yoann Barelli’s Devinci Troy is a rolling masterpiece.
Gleaming gold components, a custom Industry Nine wheelset, and wrapped in Lotus Pro™️ 10 gloss film to keep it looking fresh no matter how hard it gets sent.
Basically, if Midas had a dream build, this would be it.
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.
Trail of the Day
Kao Kao Chaos - Waitangi Mountain Bike Park, NZ
With Natural Selection going down this weekend, we figured we’d shine a light on a local favorite—Kao Kao Chaos.
A 2km blue-rated ripper near Paihia, this one’s got flow, fun, and just enough spice to keep you on your toes.
It’s downhill-only, so no surprise climb sneaking up on you. Just 7 minutes of pure speed and good times.
Ride it, rip it, and if you send it a little too hard… well, Natural Selection would approve.
Laugh of the Day
Rob Warner making us smile. 100% experience. 200% passion!
That’s all for this week folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you on Monday! 🤙
