Video of the Day
Perfect dirt doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens when you obsess over your local trails like they’re a bonsai tree, carefully shaping every corner and feature.
After hours of trimming, tuning, and whispering sweet nothings to the loam, this edit finally got its moment.

Bonus: Who needs Lycra and a weight-weenie bike when you’ve got skate shoes, baggies, and sheer lunacy?
Tomás Parra-Gómez climbs the height of Everest with nothing but grit and a 170mm trail bike.
This is pain, perseverance, and pure stoke rolled into 33 wild hours.
It’s the most casual Everest attempt you'll ever feel secondhand leg cramps from.

Tom Öhler Just Went Full Goat Mode 🐐 - New World Record Set For E-Bike Mountain Climbing
At 5:30 AM, while most of us are still dreaming of loam, pancakes, or both, Tom Öhler was clipping into his pedals in the shadowy Swiss Alps with one goal: summit as many mountains as humanly (and electronically) possible in a day.
His weapon of choice?
A Haibike Hybe CF11, kitted with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor, a mullet setup (29" up front, 27.5" out back), and enough battery juice to power your whole campsite’s Insta game.
Because 5,550 vertical meters (that’s 18,208 feet for our American senders) of climbing ain’t for hardtails and heart monitors.
Tom’s mission wasn’t about beating the clock or stacking KOMs.
It was about chasing what he calls the ultimate "summit moment": that magic second where your legs are burning, your lungs are doing their best impression of a steam engine, and the mountains slap you in the face with pure awe.
Then you drop in.
Over 14 hours, Tom covered 102 kilometers, tagged 15 legitimate summits, burned through 3 kWh of battery, and carried his bike up 400 vertical meters of terrain so nasty most people would put on crampons just to walk it.
All under the watchful eyes of the German Record Institute (RID), who required that the peaks meet actual summit definitions (think "prominence," "dominance," and a whole lot of geologic nerdery).
The idea started like many ridiculous MTB ideas do: with a phone call.
“Haibike called me and said, ‘Want to set a world record?’”
Tom
For most, that’d be the start of a prank.
For Tom who already holds records for highest wall climb (2.89m) and fastest 400m hurdles on a bike (44.62s), it was just Tuesday.
But he didn’t want to just go far or go fast. He wanted something meaningful.
So he asked: how many mountain summits can one rider hit in a single day, with an e-MTB and a serious love for alpine terrain?
Davos/Klosters was the chosen playground.
With three mountain chains (Jakobshorn, Pischahorn, Weissfluh), legal access to trails across Graubünden, and an absurdly well-connected alpine trail network, it was the perfect canvas.
He mapped three loops on Komoot, packed light, and tried to sleep.
"I hardly slept the night before... something can always go wrong."
Tom
By 8:30 AM, five peaks were already in the bag.
Then came the longest climb: Pischahorn.
His knee flared up. The trail turned nasty. He carried the bike like it owed him money.
At hour nine, the fatigue kicked in. And that’s when Tom really started riding.
Loop three took him up Weissfluhgipfel at 2,843 meters (9,327 ft), then across to Chörbschhorn for the final push.
Flow found him, the drone filmed him, and his wife met him on the last summit to celebrate.
"After 14 hours in that terrain, I was not just physically but mentally tired too – because you really can’t afford any mistakes!"
Tom
But he did it. 15 peaks. 102km. 5,550m climbed.
Every descent ridden. Every summit earned. No gondolas, no shuttles, no excuses.
Tom’s World Record by the Numbers:
- 15 peaks
- 3 mountain chains
- 14 hours
- 102 km (63 miles)
- 5,550m climbed (18,208 ft)
- 3 kWh battery used
- 400m hike-a-bike
- 1 unforgettable summit send fest
The Verdict:
If you thought e-bikes were for lazy people, Tom Öhler would like to offer you a 14-hour rebuttal.
"I definitely recommend giving it a try – it’s guaranteed to be an epic day!”
Tom

Trail of the Day
Kirkford - Mount Fromme
Ol’ Man Pete took a trench and turned it into a twisty slice of trail heaven. Jump on at the third switchback and get ready for more turns than a soap opera.
Bonus wood rolls and a log ride at the end if you're feeling spicy.
May cause dizziness, hooting, and trail envy.
That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you all tomorrow! 🤙
