Send it presented by Leatt
This category is all about the raw speed, the full-send commitment, and the unbeatable stoke that comes with gravity-fueled riding. Downhill, dual slalom, enduro, freeride, dirt jumping, high-speed trail slashing, and those sketchy push runs—we want to see it all. Show us the grit, the flow, the breathtaking landscapes, and the sheer determination that comes with riding the fall line. Whether it’s a banger shot from your local enduro, a World Cup moment, or your buddy absolutely sending it down a gnarly chute, we’re looking for high-impact images that capture the essence of gravity riding—framed and composed to perfection.
Prize: Leatt Gravity 5.0 – Carbon Full-face with BOA retention system | RRP $559.95
Full Gas XC Presented by OneUp Components
The endurance side of mountain biking has evolved, and the Full Gas category is here to celebrate the heart and soul of it. Whether it’s the lung-busting grind of a club XC race, an all-day epic into the backcountry, the intensity of XCO World Cup action, a marathon sufferfest, or the relentless push of a stage race – we want to see what XC means to you. Show us the grit, the bar-to-bar battles, the technical features, and the landscapes that make XC riding so raw and real. We’re looking for images that tell a story, capture the essence of XC, and bring the race, the effort, and the adventure to life – with flawless composition and framing that make every detail count.
Prize: OneUp Components Prize
Venture Further presented by GME Australia
Far beyond the stacked loops and well-worn trails, adventure is limitless. A bike isn’t just a tool – it’s a ticket to the wild, a way to chase the horizon and disappear into the unknown. This category is all about the places your bike can take you, whether it be an epic bikepack or day exploring lesser-known gravel roads. Show us the vast nothingness of the outback, the razor-thin ridgelines that stretch forever, the remote, untamed landscapes where the only sound is your tires crunching over dirt. A winning shot will pull us into the moment, making us feel the scale, the solitude, and the sheer commitment it takes to be out there. Composition and framing matter, but above all, we want to be inspired. We want to see a photo that sparks something deep inside—a photo that makes us want to load up the bags, point the wheels into the unknown, and just ride.
Prize: MT620GR GNSS PLB with Return Link Service
This category is all about the breathtaking perspective of landscapes—the vastness of the outback, the sinuous trails slicing through the earth, the lone rider dwarfed by mountains, deserts, or endless forests. We want to see creativity and scale, whether it be via traditional photography or drone. Whether it’s a top-down view of a winding singletrack, a peloton carving through gravel roads, or a solo adventurer lost in the wild, a winning shot will make us stop, stare, and feel the pull of the ride. As always, composition and framing are key—but most of all, we want images that redefine how we see riding from above and beyond.
The Raw Reels social media video category is looking for the best video that captures the fun and natural environment of MTB riding.
