In Finale Ligure, Italy, the riders have finished the practice day ahead of tomorrow’s first round of the Enduro World Cup.
Watch the raw highlights of the practice day below.
Raw practice videos like this are very interesting because they show the different approaches riders take to each section. When a filmer is posted up on a technical section of course, it gets spicy.
Enduro practice is unique. Unlike downhill, where riders get many laps to dial in their exact lines for race day, enduro racers have limited time to preride multiple stages. Generally, the goal is to learn the course as best ..read more

Vancouver Island is home to some incredible riding. Though it gets less attention than the mainland of BC, the island has a dedicated group of builders and riders and has produced some of mountain biking's biggest names like Jordie Lunn and Stevie Smith.
Watch Nate Slater ride one of his builds on the island in “Inertia” below.
In this video, Slater rode a pristine jump line through the ferns. Perhaps the most impressive shot in the edit is the enormous river gap from the side. The angle really does justice to how big the drop is and how flat the landing is.
Some of the best edits are people ..read more

In the last year or so I’ve put the bulk of my multi-speed mountain bike miles on three drivetrains. A Shimano XT M8130 LinkGlide setup, a SRAM GX T-Type package, and the SRAM XX1 11-speed shifting currently adorning my Marinster Truck. I love the ‘old’ deluxe-level SRAM 11-speed shifting. It’s lightning-fast, the cage isn’t three miles long, and I’m in tune with it such that I generally nail all my shifts.
At the far outer reaches of the opposite ..read more
