The Big Air Compound UPDATE!
[p]Hi everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We've just dropped a BIG CONTENT UPDATE for Descenders on Steam - the Big Air Compound Update! We know you've all been dying for more Descenders maps (you ask us EVERY DAY, and we love it) so of course, we had to scratch that itch before 2025 is wrapped up! But wait, not only have we got NEW MAPS, we've got a NEW BIKE TYPE, and we aren't stopping there - BRAND NEW MISSIONS, and even MORE CUSTOMIZATION ITEMS for your rider (did someone say they needed a bucket hat?)[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][p]We can't just bring out a new bike park without new missions, so be sure to go check your GRAND TOUR! You'll find a new set of objectives specifically for the new Big Air Compound map, all with new customization unlocks! On top of that, we thought this update was the perfect one for a new bike type too, since we've not had a new one for quite some time! But of course, we can't NOT add in some new gear items too! Shall we get into what's waiting for you?[/p][p][/p][h3]NEW BIKE PARKS[/h3][p]We've added a BRAND NEW map, the Matt Macduff inspired Big Air Compound! Matt MacDuff is a pro mountain biker from Canada, who is known for building some of the biggest backyard jumps in the world, one of them being his well known Big Air Compound! [/p][p]![]()

[/p][p][/p][p]Many thanks to Matt, Phillips Sodaworks and Industry Nine for giving us some awesome real life art! Practice your tricks & beat your airtime record in this high octane map! Shall we move on to our favourite mod maps?[/p][p][/p][h3]UTAH TRAILS[/h3][p]Take to the dirt in Utah Trails, thanks to our talented community member, Wiking! With lots of steep & downhill action, can you make it to the bottom in one piece? This might be the perfect map to try out that new bike type...[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]GRASSHOPPER DH[/h3][p]We're moving from the dirt to the forest! Another great map by Wiking, Grasshopper DH is filled with high speed action & lots of twists and turns! Try not to bail, and watch out for those trees, there's a lot of them...[/p][p]![]()
[/p][h3]BIKEOUT 5[/h3][p]Of course, how can we ever neglect the BikeOuts? We know how much you love them 👀 We're bringing you BikeOut 5, the next one in the series! Filled with even more challenging stunts & tricks than ever before, how fast are you going to master this beast?[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p][/p][h3]NEW GRAND TOUR MISSIONS & CUSTOMIZATION[/h3][p]You'll find a bunch of NEW missions in the Grand Tour, which will unlock brand NEW customization items! We've also added a brand new bike type, which will unlock when completing the Big Air Compound missions: the BRNZL Enduro - the perfect bike to balance power & agility![/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]For customization, we've added NEW hoodies (unlocked through missions), and a NEW item set: Phillips shirts and a Big Air Compound hoodie (which can be unlocked through Big Air Compound missions). We've also sneaked in a bucket hat too - how fast can you unlock it?[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
