Somewhere in Germany, a bike park manager is staring at this photo and muttering, “That’s not in the waiver.”

Video of the Day
MUST WATCH:
Brage has been busy. The BC forest has seen plenty of edits, but this one feels different.
Scouting, camping, and building with the tightest crew gave it the soul most videos miss.
You can smell the cedar bark and two-stroke fumes right through the screen.
By the end, you’re not watching, you’re part of the tribe.
All that’s missing is the mosquito bites.

Bonus: Champéry is back in the spotlight, and Camille makes it look deceptively “rideable.”
Don’t be fooled, those chutes are basically vertical hallways lined with roots. Anyone who rolls in unprepared is going to discover the meaning of “DNS” real quick.
By September, it’s going to be littered with broken dreams and blown-up tires.

The sounds, the view, the rider… doesn’t get better than this.
Nino Schurter’s Last Lap
The news just dropped: Nino Schurter is hanging it up.
The GOAT of cross-country racing, the Swiss king of endless watts and ice-cold precision, will call time on his World Cup career at Lenzerheide this year.
That’s right, the man who turned suffering on two wheels into an art form, the guy who made Lycra look like battle armor, is riding his last World Cup lap in front of a home crowd that probably still hasn’t forgiven him for breaking the sport.
He made other pros look like weekend warriors who accidentally wandered into the wrong start line.
If there was dirt, tape, and a finish line, Nino was probably already halfway to spraying champagne before anyone else unclipped.
The Stats Nobody Believes
- First World Champs medal in 2003 as a baby-faced Swiss shredder.
- 10 World Championship golds.
- 35 World Cup wins (and counting).
- More podiums than you’ve had post-ride beers.
This is a guy who didn’t just break the XCO win record. he left it shattered like a carbon rim on a square-edge hit.
In 2023, he grabbed that record at Lenzerheide, and now, in a beautiful full-circle moment, he’s closing the curtain on the same dirt.
Call it poetic. Call it cinematic. Call it Nino doing Nino things.
The Nino Era
Cross-country used to be a sport you could ignore until Worlds rolled around.
Then Nino came along and turned it into appointment viewing.
He bunny-hopped logs that other riders clumsily fumbled through, sprinted climbs like they insulted his mother, and somehow never looked gassed.

Meanwhile, the rest of the field looked like they were trying to breathe through a wet sock while their legs dissolved into soup.
XC went from Lycra pain caves to highlight reels.
Suddenly, you didn’t need to care about VO2 max charts to get hyped, you just needed to watch Nino annihilate yet another rock garden at Mach 10.
The Exit Strategy
So what’s the farewell tour?
Crans-Montana for his final World Championships, and then Lenzerheide for his last World Cup.
Both home races.
Both guaranteed to be emotional with cowbells, tears, and probably an entire nation showing up to scream his name.
If you thought Whistler hecklers were loud, wait until you hear the Swiss lose their collective minds watching Nino one last time.
The man even wrote a goodbye letter that managed to be humble, emotional, and just cocky enough to remind everyone he’s still the baddest man in Lycra.
“There’s no place for passengers,” he said.
Translation: if you were racing against me these last 20 years, you were just luggage on the Nino express.
What’s Next?
Don’t worry, Nino isn’t about to disappear into the Swiss Alps with a pipe and a herd of goats.
He’ll still ride, still race (just not between the World Cup tape), and dive into projects that probably involve making mountain biking even more Swiss and intimidating.
Maybe coaching, maybe brand work, maybe launching a boutique line of bib shorts that increase your FTP by 50 watts.
Whatever it is, expect it to be annoyingly successful.

Trail of the Day
Hog Heaven Multi Trail - Sedona, Arizona
This trail is the advanced rider’s loyalty test, and if you flinch, it spits you out like yesterday’s bad burrito.
Exposure is everywhere, so don’t show up with your “I’ll just wing it” energy.
Those sketchy little sections?
Stop, stare, whisper a prayer, and then hope your tires don’t ghost you halfway through.
By the time you hit Hog Wash, you’ll either feel like great or like someone who should have stayed on the green trails.
Either way, you’re not leaving without stories.
That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you all tomorrow! 🤙
