Darkfest returns in 2026 for its 10th anniversary with the world's top freeriders tackling a record, most challenging course at Hellsend Dirt Compound.
Part chaotic camping trip, part mountain bike Burning Man, and 100% raw freeride retreat. The Green River Classic is much more than just another fun-filled weekend riding bikes with your buddies. Brought to you by cult-favorite freeride crew In The Hills Gang, the GRC, as it's affectionately known, has become the beating heart of modern freeride events-a unique opportunity for riders from across the globe to come together and celebrate the culture, camaraderie, and creative freedom that defines freeride mountain biking itself.
Natural Selection (NST) Bike is headed back to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2026-and the stakes just got higher. Twenty-five of the world's best riders will descend on the wild ridgelines of Mt. Dewar in Tāhuna Queenstown for another action-packed year of pushing what's possible on a bike. Natural Selection is more than just a name; it's an ideology and a format that supports the evolutionary process of progressing the sport.
