It’s Wednesday, you’ve (almost) made it! The work week is halfway done, and the prospect of big weekend rides is beckoning. Until then, here’s a roundup of the best bike (and non-bike) content that’s caught our eye this week.

Underbiking is wildly underrated, and Underbiking Downunder is spreading the good word. This latest drop takes us through Damien’s trail in New Zealand , which is classified as a black diamond on Trailforks. While most riders would shy away from this trail on a full-suspension bike, Lewis Ferris decided to ramble down it on his Kona Sutra, and yes, with drop bars—hats off to Lewis for this one.
Devin DeBruhl is another name that comes to mind when the topic of underbiking is brought up… feast your eyes on the debauchery and embrace underbiking.

Ashley Duffus photographed for ‘All Humans Outside’ in Bellingham, WA.
Ashley Duffus is a woman of many talents, who’s usually laboring behind the scenes to make the mountain bike community a more welcoming and inclusive place - you might know her better as the founder of Cosmic Dirt, a size-inclusive MTB clothing company. I was stoked and proud to see her in front of the camera this time, and loved the caption wherein she opens up a bit about her “Why” when it comes to the outdoors and sport. Also, these photos are fire and erryone should see ‘em. Kudos Tommy Corey!
Amelie Mckay Huck Riding Pulp Fiction
What was I doing when I was eight years old? Probably picking my nose and re-reading a Calvin and Hobbes anthology. Not @ame_all_day - this kiddo is out ripping double-black tech trails and making it looks way smoother than I ever would! Have I mentioned that the future is bright for women’s freeride?
Swatch Nines - new Location will continue to highlight women
This fall, Swatch Nines MTB will make its debut at an exciting new location in Sölden, Austria. From September 10th to 14th, this stunning venue in the Austrian Alps will play host to Swatch Nines’ unique blend of innovative course design and international MTB talent…. Which will once again host a stacked women’s session roster! I can’t wait to see what the gals throw down.

Dylan Stark - X GAMES Real MTB BTS
Sorry not sorry, more Dylan Stark content from his X Games Real MTB part. I really wish every rider did this, I would love to see the different backgrounds of each segment. It not only puts the size of the spots in perspective, but you also get to see the attempts before the make or the hype when they stomp it first T. Dylan sure did put his body on the line for the tail whip off the roof, multiple big slams before it clicked. And mad props for that roof gap, I’d say that spot was doomed since Tony Willie fell off the roof skating, but Stark makes it happen.
The next video is definitely a little long if you are just looking for biking, but once it starts, it gets real good. Some heavy spots and no street edit is complete without an angry campus security officer…
