Video of the Day
This is Welsh winter on a wet slate platter!
Jimbo goes so sideways it’s basically a horizontal rain dance, and Seb hits lines only visible to forest elves.
⏰ Watch time - 02 min 31 sec
Bonus: This is what happens when mountain biking meets meaning.
Not just lines and loam, but life, in all its fire, fear, and forgiveness.
Back it, watch it, share it. This is MTB with its soul showing.
⏰ Watch time - 04 min 58 sec
Bonus on Bonus: Sleeper is BACK!
La Thuile slapped harder than a wet chain on carbon stays.
It's shot like a dream and edited like a panic attack.

Ride the Sky: 6 Heli-Bike Drops That’ll Make You Cry, Scream, and Possibly Transcend
If your idea of a chill day involves skipping lift lines by hitching a ride in a flying lawnmower and dropping into trails that look like the cover art for a metal album, heli-biking is your next spiritual calling.
We’ve rounded up six high-altitude, high-adrenaline, high-potential-for-screaming adventures that’ll make your local trail feel like a sidewalk.
1. High Terrain Helicopters – Nelson, BC 🇨🇦
- 💰 $345 CAD per person (min 2)
- 🚁 15-minute flight, ~4,000 ft descent
- 🗺 7.5 km of trail: black and double-black options
- ⚡ E-bikes allowed (Class 1)
Nelson’s no stranger to weirdos on bikes, but Toad Mountain’s “Descent of God” will have you praying to multiple deities at once.
This is freeride church, where the altar is a ridgeline and your offering is brake pads.
Black and double-black diamonds only.
You’ve been warned.
2. Flow State Guiding – Coast Mountains, BC 🇨🇦
- 📆 3–5 day luxury trips
- 💰 $3,700–$6,500 CAD per person
- ⛰ Over 2,000 acres of slabs, tarns, and chaos
- 🛖 Basecamp at 6,000 ft with saunas and gourmet meals
Imagine slashing 6,000 vertical feet of granite insanity by day, then melting your bones in a wood-fired sauna by night.
Flow State isn’t just heli-biking—it’s a life realignment via granite slabs and glacial dips.
If you’ve ever wanted to combine freeride with fine dining and body awareness, welcome home.
3. Black Tusk Helicopters – Squamish, BC 🇨🇦
- 💰 $1,169 CAD for 5 riders
- 📉 Approx. 5,500 ft descent
- 🎢 Trail: “Disneyland” (bring courage and knee pads)
They call it Disneyland, but there’s no cotton candy.
Just technical descents and adult-onset screaming.
This ride drops you into a full-day alpine journey of rock rolls, loam bombs, and soul-exiting corners.
It’s scenic, savage, and way more fun than waiting in line for Space Mountain.
4. Wandering Wheels – Revelstoke, BC 🇨🇦
- 📆 Trip: “Heli Hangover” (4 days/3 nights)
- 💰 $2,695 CAD per person
- 🚁 Heli drop + truck shuttles + gondola access
- 📉 Over 65,000 ft of descending across the trip
This one’s for the endurance psychos.
The Heli Hangover throws everything at you: shuttle runs, gondola laps, and a heli-drop finale that feels like the mountain is personally trying to assassinate you.
Over four days you’ll descend enough vertical to qualify as an emotional rollercoaster.
5. Whisper Ridge – Eden, Utah, USA
- 💰 $200 for first drop, $100 each after
- 🎟 $475 full-day pass (4 drops, nearly 10,000 ft of descending)
- 🚁 2,300 ft descent over 5.5 miles
- 📍 60 minutes north of Salt Lake City
Whisper Ridge is basically a red-state Rampage training ground where you trade lift lines for rotors and pray your suspension is feeling cooperative.
With four heli drops per day and nearly 10,000 feet of vert, this is your chance to yeet yourself down desert ridgelines and pretend you’re in a freeride edit from 2011, just with fewer fedoras and more insurance forms.
6. Tordrillo Mountain Lodge – Alaska, USA
- 💰 $500–$1,000 per person (heli-biking)
- 🛌 Lodging starts at $1,280 per night
- 🚁 $5,500 per Hobbs hour (group of 4)
- 📉 Descent: up to 11,000 ft, from volcanoes to glacial river beds
- 🧊 Extras: Massage, drinks, soul-cleansing post-crash reflection included at a premium
Tordrillo Mountain Lodge is where billionaires and dirtbags collide.
You're dropped by heli on a freaking volcano, then descend through ash fields, glacial rivers, and probably an emotional breakdown or two.
Want the full-day volcanic odyssey? That’ll cost you.
But hey, you’ll have the world’s gnarliest Strava route and possibly a new appreciation for oxygen.
Ready to Send It Into the Stratosphere?
Whether you're chasing freeride enlightenment or just trying to escape cell service, these six heli-bike experiences will change how you view “a big ride.”
Bring friends. Bring snacks. Leave your fear at sea level.
Because when the trailhead’s in the clouds, every ride starts with a send.

Dream Rides ❤️
This Yeti SB160 is flexin’ harder than an Instagram gym bro in a tank top, except this one actually lifts.
Fox bling, coil dreams, and a colorway so clean it makes soap jealous.

Trail of the Day
Upper PowerSmart Mountain Biking Trail - Squamish, BC
You’ll find this beauty exactly 1km past the 19th Hole.
Where the doubletrack starts whispering things like “you sure about this?” and “did you tell anyone where you were going?”
There’s no maintenance, no mercy, and definitely no warning signs.
Officially “not recommended,” but unofficially?
A banger!
That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you all tomorrow! 🤙
