The competitive aspect of jigsaw puzzling dates back to the 1980s in the US, when Hallmark ran a national competition for several years. In 2022, the volunteer-run USA Jigsaw Puzzle Association partnered with Ravensburger to bring back a national championship.

Visually inspect skis, bases, and edges. If any damage, get a full tune to fix the damage, grind the bases, and sharpen the edges.

Food logging can be done in a few ways, including searching a database, scanning barcodes, or using AI-based camera analysis. Simpler items like eggs and fruit are identified well, but complex meals can be frustrating due to lighting and AI limitations.

I was drinking on the descent and misjudged a corner, Pidcock said in team statement. I overshot it and went down the ravine. It was like one of these horror crashes you see, but I'm very lucky that I am OK.

The film takes viewers away from the race venues to explore the training routes around Antwerp and Moraira, where Van der Poel trains.

Pogacar made his decisive move just as he had done two years ago on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section. His UAE Team Emirates colleagues had put the hammer down heading into that section and once Pogacar attacked on a tough climb, he quickly distanced everyone else. Seixas was the rider who resisted the longest even briefly dragging back Pogacar before the world champion accelerated again and disappeared over the horizon for good.

The Crankbrothers Stamp pedals have always been one of my favorites, so when the brand dropped the info on the latest Stamp pedal, I was keen to give them a shot. Making the move from clips to flat pedals with the Crankbrothers Stamp Evo has been a refreshing change, enhancing my bike-handling skills.

Even before I ever came to the U.S., I'd heard the legends of the White Rim Trail. It's not only an iconic mountain bike adventure, but also a route with a deep history of FKT attempts that I've followed throughout my career. It's incredibly special to see my name alongside, and ahead of, some amazing athletes. Next time, though, I'd like to slow things down a bit and take in the views.

Super shoes and ultralight gear make a difference, but with new advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) that can look at our running form and compare it to the ideal, analyze our nutrition intake from a simple photo and help us plan our diets, and offer guidance on training and recovery, the interwovenness of technology and running is only set to increase.

Transition has increased the rear travel to 211mm, which translates to more traction and control when charging downhill. This straightforward approach enhances the riding experience significantly.

The Trek-Unbroken prototype is a clear signal that the '80mm of travel is enough' era of cross-country racing has officially been put to pasture.

The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.

The new Giant and Liv eyewear lineup revolves around a simple goal: clearer vision at speed. The glasses are designed to improve focus, contrast, and visual clarity across a wide range of riding environments, from high-speed road riding to gravel and trail use. The core of that system is a mix of premium lens technologies, paired with lightweight TR90 frames and extensive ventilation.

Sam Hill is a name that almost anyone my age would recognize. The 8-time World Downhill MTB champion and flat pedal enthusiast is an icon in the sport of mountain biking, and has ridden for some of the most legendary brands in the industry. From Specialized Bicycles to the late Iron Horse and the now revamped Nukeproof, Hill has always been a topic of conversation.

Beginning in 2026, Monster Energy will have a significant presence across all 14 rounds of the global series, with branding integrated both trackside and throughout broadcast coverage, alongside fan-focused activations at each venue. The partnership further solidifies Monster's role in top-level mountain biking, adding the World Series to a long list of action-sports properties the brand already supports from motocross, to skateboarding, snowboarding, and freeride mountain biking.

In 2025, Cameron Jones entered the series as a Wild Card and rode that opportunity all the way to the overall men's title. What was once a developmental side door into the Grand Prix is now arguably the most coveted pathway in elite off-road racing. For 2026, six riders (three women and three men) will again earn their way into the series and chase a record $350,000 equal-pay prize purse.

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.
