Read time: 3 min 36 seconds.
It’s that time of the week again where we just wanted to say... thank you. 🙏
Seriously.
The Send It Daily exists because of you.
You read it. You share it. You send us wild DMs. You let us hype bikes, trails, and the occasional squirrel-on-a-bike meme straight into your inbox.
We wouldn’t be here without this rad crew.
So from the bottom of our hearts: thanks for riding along with us.

Photo of the Day
Zoom in. Enhance. Enhance again.
Can you spot him? Neither could we.
Gee Atherton: professional mountain biker, part-time Where’s Waldo cosplayer.
Blink and you’ll miss him. Actually, squint and you still might.

Video of the Day
Throwback! Parallel II proves what we’ve all suspected: Semenuk and Kade operate on a higher frequency.
With synchronized sends and mirrored madness, it’s the closest thing to a ballet performed entirely in roost and airtime.
Haven’t seen it? You just struck some internet gold my friend.
⏰ Watch time - 3 min 20 sec
Bonus: Darkfest 2025 - Jumps were massive, tricks were illegal, and haircuts (as always) made the highlight reel.
From 110-foot sends to step-up insanity, the final session hit like a double espresso to the face.
We’re almost scared (and very excited) to see what they dream up next year.

Send of the Day
Nothing like a bear to help you clear that feature you've been casing for months. 🐻
The World Cup Racing Comes Back to the U.S. This Fall
Mark your calendars for October 3–5.
Lake Placid is back, and this time, it's bringing the heat.
World Cup racing is coming home.
The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series is headed back to Lake Placid, New York, for a three-day, all-out shredfest, this time adding Downhill into the mix alongside the returning Cross-country action.
Yep, that means XCO, XCC, and DH all crammed into one high-octane weekend.
Pack your cowbells and your waterproofs.
Racers will duke it out once again at Mt Van Hoevenberg for the cross-country rounds, while the iconic Whiteface Mountain joins the calendar with a brand-new Downhill track that promises to be steep, rough, and just barely legal.
With over 3,400 feet of vertical, Whiteface is the biggest mountain in the East.
Expect the usual suspects: Koretzky, Schurter, Stigger, Blevins, Höll, and Bruni to be in the mix, hunting for points and pride before the season finale in Mont-Sainte-Anne.
Organizers are promising bigger crowds, better heckling, and a heavy dose of East Coast rowdiness.
And with both World Cup XC and DH racing on the same weekend, it’s shaping up to be one of the most stacked stops of the year.
Tickets are on sale now, grab 'em before your buddy does.
Unless you’ve got a SKI3 season pass, in which case, it’s free (you lucky duck).
Dream Rides ❤️
She’s blacked out, loud, and built for send.
The new Propain Spindrift CF is officially out of the garage and making noise - specifically, the buttery buzz of those Project321 hubs.
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
Ridge Trail - Santa Cruz, California
Ridge is the launchpad for all the downhill action, connecting every trail in the Demo like a high-speed web.
Expect tight turns, rock gardens, and some Up-Pitches that’ll make you switch from fast to slow faster than you can say “brake check.”
It’s mainly ridden downhill, but if you're climbing, get ready to dodge some serious speed demons — nobody’s expecting you up there!
Laugh of the Day
When they find out where all your money goes 😳
That’s all for this week folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you all Monday! 🤙
For the ❤️ of two wheels.
We write The Send It Daily Monday - Friday (we’re out riding on the weekends). We do not proofread our material before sending and did not get A’s in English.
Our mission is simple: To advocate and bring awareness to the athletes that Send It and the media teams that capture it.
