Emergency crews arrived at the river near Davis Camp at about 11:15 a.m. on Monday for a possible drowning, having received reports that a man failed to resurface after entering the water from a pontoon boat.
A superpipe is a halfpipe that is about 64 feet wide and typically between 400 and 600 feet long, with walls approximately 22 feet high. The walls of the pipe are near vertical, with a smooth transition that allows riders to carry maximum speed.
The headline here isn't just a motor update; it's the 'One frame, three personalities' philosophy. By using a modular chassis, Ibis has created a single platform that adapts to three distinct travel classes: HD, TR, and S.
Runaway snowboards were a cause of great concern in the early days of snowboarding as snowboards don't have breaks like skis. This concern was justified in many ways as proto snowboard bindings much less secure and reliable than modern systems using simple straps, rubber components, or basic buckles that could loosen or fail more easily during a crash.
A sudden weather change, a mechanical, a missed turn, or a momentary lapse in judgment can all turn a "quick ride" into a surprisingly long day. The good news? While some of those problems are big, the solutions are often small. A last-second weather check. An extra granola bar. A quick link and a zip tie that's been living in the bottom of your bag for the last five years. Little things can often be the difference between a perfect ride and a problem ride.
Just last week, we reported on two production hardtail mountain bikes with drop bar builds from both Pivot Cycles and Pinarello. The commercial availability of these bikes is undoubtedly tied to the proliferation of drop bars on custom mountain bike builds in the pro field of iconic races like the Leadville Trail 100. In fact, Keegan Swenson raced his drop bar Santa Cruz Blur to his fifth consecutive victory in last year's Leadville race and his fourth in 2024 on board a drop bar hardtail.
A massive crash on the last jump on the Red Bull Hardline Tasmania track has left Mille Johnset of Nukeproof Axess Racing with a broken collarbone and concussion. The 3rd person view of the crash is shown in this clip posted by Ed Masters. In the clip, you can see a touch of headwind catching the windsock, which likely contributed to Johnset coming up a bit short.
Silverton Medical Rescue shared this story as a PSA, clarifying that in a normal winter such debris would be covered with snow. They encourage recreators to be aware of debris, posts, wires, and other trash that's far more exposed this year than others. "Be safe and keep a keen eye out for things other than rocks and trunks. Danger looks different every year, and low avalanche risk does not equal low risk overall."
Genuinely feel bad for everyone involved in this multi person t-bar crash at Kreischberg Ski Resort in Austria. Of course no one wants to get decked by a snowboarder sliding out of control down a steep icy slope but its not hard to sympathize with the snowboarder who had little to no chance of self-arresting after losing his footing given the terrain and the fact that he had one boot unstrapped.
The terrain park operates on different rules and guidelines than the rest of the ski resort. While the downhill skier always has the right of way on the rest of the mountain, skiers and snowboarders are responsible for clearing out of any landing zone as soon as they can. Hanging out in the landing zone or allowing your child to hang out in the landing zone, as we see in the video below, is absolutely unacceptable,
