- Adrenaline is the main reason we got hooked on mountain biking in the first place. We spend every day trying to see how far and how hard we can push ourselves. Whether it’s going faster, lifting more in the gym, hitting a bigger jump, a bigger drop…it is a relentless pursuit. Our Comfort Zones series is all about finding ways to push ourselves in a supportive environment. We’re pushing ourselves in areas we’re uncomfortable in- this doesn’t always mean going big and getting gnarly- it means progressing as humans and athletes.

Miranda at 5:40 : Goggle check, wrist check, glove check, velcro check, sleeve check.
If it were me at 5:53 : Car check, home check, close-the-blinds and turn of the lights check, refrigerator check, couch check.
Everything has to be just right for full confidence!
LOL, I love couch check! I reckon you could check things all day long!
In a world of social media hype culture, your down-to-earth videos are like a breath of fresh air. All three of you are ace shredders, you just don't make a big fuss about it. I enjoy that:)
That is exactly what we are going for! Less Vlog, more intentional entertainment. Thank you.
100% and a lesson to boot! No point in just sending when your not feeling it and crashing and being out for weeks 🤷
You guys are amazballs. Love watching the process, and kudos on the PSA at the end. Well done and keep it up!
Me hitting 1,5 m drops wearing full protection and full face helmet.
Remi hitting huge roadgaps with xc helmet and loose hoodie....
Respect for all three of you
Remi was a hero hitting the drop so many times!
well, it doesn't mean that what he does is the ok way to go :)
protection is important and it is for those days when shit happens
@@ostankovalex1176 Absolutely ! and pros are not exempt from falling and suffer from big injuries either (i.e. Sam Hill, Brook MacDonald, literally each one them...). They should care more about the image they are reflecting on social media... kids look at them as models.
A few years ago everybody was wearing full-face + neckbrace. Now pros make it look like MIPS could save them from anything.
MIRANDA YOU FUCKING LEDGEND!!!!!!!!! You held that first go soooo well! You're fucking smashing it!!!
The checklist before dropping in is a vibe lol
We've all been there!
Miranda, this is the biggest feature I have seen a woman ride, I am so pleased I have found your channel! What you said about your comfort zone getting smaller has really helped me. Even though it is all relative, I have been struggling with my comfort zone getting smaller and smaller and now am battling with fear over drops, obviously these drops are ALOT SMALLER then your monster road gap and your drop offs in your other video. Now after watching you I am picturing you in my mind before I drop off and have been able to progress, even though I think I'm gonna have a heart attack! I did the drop 40 times in a row, successfully, phew. My check list, 1. Breath, 2. Check foot position on pedal, 3. Straighten hair plait, 4. Think about you, 5. Send. Anyway thank you for your fantastic video and for being my inspiration!
Siiiiick Miranda!! Insane riding it out after getting swapped up like that. Props to filmer & editor too
Thanks Woj! Big team effort.
The comment about “during a race run i would just send it” is such an interesting and universal sensation
But do that for too long and it burns out you out! Nervous system takes a hit and it’s hard to recover. Part of me wanting to do these things is to do them on my own terms but still experience some pressure and get better at the process. Hopefully in race scenarios it’ll be less of a yolo. Or maybe not, haha!
No wonder I fangirl everytime I see Miranda - HUGEEE :D
Yessss my dude! This is so rad. I think i pooped watching your first landing. Way to go back and hit it a few more times!
Wise words at the end!!! Important for people to see the support, risk analysis building up and support to progress like this 👐
Totally! It doesn't 'just happen'. There is a good way to be able to progress slowly and safely.
This is so sick. Watching pro riders work on skills and progress is inspiring. With hard work (and good friends) everyone can improve their skills and confidence. That’s why hobbies like this are awesome. You are never done learning. Thanks for being rad and down to earth!
Never done learning! That's what keeps us coming back!
Holy! That was amazing! Miranda is such a Boss! Total respect for hitting big features like that!
It was awesome to see her progress and smash this one!
Damn that look scary. It always amaze me when you guy can get out of a near death experience, save the crash, and do it again another time! My leg would have been shaking like a disco dancer for sure. Props Miranda!
If I hadn’t gone for another one I might have convinced myself that I couldn’t/shouldn’t/wouldn’t! It was something I knew I could do I just had to make myself, so much easier to convince yourself not to do something! But I was preeeetty nervous the 2nd time haha.
Look how proud Remi is, well done Miranda.
Miranda!!! DOPE!!! So stoked for ya! Cool vid!!!
Fuck yes Miranda! I audibly said yeah every time you hit this. Makes me wish I was a part of your guys crew hahaha
Love it! I've been waiting for this and had 100% confidence in Miranda - but that 1st attempt definitely made me snap forward in my chair... Hell of a save! Those trees goalposting the runout don't get enough press as additional complications upping the intimidation factor.
same here, way to go!!! nuff respect Miranda !
Those are the things you don't look at. Just think about what you have to do and where you have to go. We ride through trees all the time as mountain bikers but we aren't riding always thinking of not hitting the trees!
Waaaaay cool that you document the technical process, but also the psychological approach. There's a lot going on in this one.
Duuuuude pulling that first one back in mid getting omega-bucked on nearly the flats was absolutely sick 🤘🤘
loving the commitment, and the content of the videos is fantastic.
Thank you! We're stoked to hear that.
So bloody rad to see some of the process as well as the outcome, and on such a honking big drop. Thanks for being so excellent you lot. Could not agree more about how important it is to work into skills rather than presuming you've got them.
Thanks for the sentiment! We'll keep doing it!
Daaaaaaaaaamn! Send it Sally over here lol... Super impressed..you're killin it lady.
Only one word, SICK !!!!!!!.
The fact that Miranda has the "cojones" to do it 3 more times after that first landing...... incredible. Impressive. If you were a cat, you´d have lost one of your 7 lives right there. You guys are awesome ;)
She knew she could do it, so once you get the first hit out of the way it becomes a little easier.
You freaking rock Miranda! Love all you guys. Yowwwwww!
We love you Doug!
Super sick, rewatching this cuz it popped into recommended again haha! I hit this alone with one friend filming, no one towing 😂
Yes!! So inspiring, Miranda. I have a project drop and I'll definitely watch this video to get fired up before I do it!
That's awesome to hear! Get it!
Aaargh, my hands are so sweaty watching this.. just awesome, so inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job on the drop! Your videos are awesome, keep on givin'r!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Great riding MM! Great tips too.
That's what we like to hear. Repetition is KEY! As well as commitment to the feature. If you decide to do it, follow through! And always make sure the hair is dialed!
This had my heart going so fast. I needed this trying to do this ine myself before it geta destroyed
Pemberton train gap!!!
Ohhh that's big.
Awesome stuff 🤙🏻
Awesome accomplishment
Dope, that’s solid work, cheers to you!!!
Much appreciated!
Oh yeah!!! I’m going to wait until lunch time to watch this properly!
Full focus for this one!
@@MGMAlternative Damn that what awesome! Great to see you sending it and knowing that I’m not the only one that does the goggles gloves check when sending it😂, now what? Hitting the Metailler lines, the one that Christina did? Must be awesome to have a Remy and a Jesse while riding!!!
That second run was so smooth!
Butterrrr
That was sick!! Well done!👊🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are the dogs bollocks👌. Keep up the good work & well done Miranda🤘, that 1st drop landing almost made me shit my pants🤣
Thanks? haha. But seriously, thanks!
So impressive Miranda!!!! congrats !!!1
Holy crap Miranda! That was balls out. I was nervous sitting here.
Nailed it though!
My new favorite channel! These vids get me so stoked to ride. Keep it up! Any plans for special guests?
Thanks! We have had one special guest so far, we're not against having The Rock or Jason Momoa on the channel if they want to.
@@MGMAlternative Oh right! Jim! He's way cooler than Dwayne Johnson.
MGM Alternative is SOOOO GOOOOD!
Thank you!
That was insane. Mad props!
Thanks! Stoked!
So good. got it spot on the 2nd run!
Super smooth!
STOKED ON THIS! big up!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely demolished it! Yeewww!
Full Bat Cap for Remi 😂
Nice One. I came up slightly short on my first attempt as I was hitting it solo. Not sure if I would have survived if I was chasing Remi. Nice save!!!
Remi provided a good speed gauge.
I will never have the courage do to that. Congrats to her
Awesome video! Whats that lens thing Remy has on his GoPro?
It's an ND filter.
Nice one Miranda! Does anyone know how Brutus compares to the road gap in Mount Dumont?
I think Brutis is bigger if its the same one I am thinking of!
@@MGMAlternative yeah you might be right - I think the Dumont one was on the Saturday sends just gone (may 8) Nice work Miranda that's a biggie!
Congrats! Nice send.
Thanks ✌
That’s crazy man well done Miranda total machine 🤟🏻🤟🏻👌
Huuuge!
Me, zip up your hoodie
Remi, what
Me, zip up yo
Remi cuts off, Imma just go send it
He's a veteran of the cape life.
I think Miranda should do that line of drops in squamish that yoann and remy did in their video.
One step at a time!
Fuck yeah Miller! Way to hold on to that first one.
I was always curious so what protection do you wear when doing something like that / doing an average ews stage?
Full face for big sends and for EWS. Knee pads always. And chest/back protector for bigger hits like this one.
sick!
Good job team.
Thank you!
How tall is that thing?!! The perspective when the camera is looking ride down - looks huge! Amazing that you went back up and did it again after that sketch landing!!
Couldn't leave it at that!
How tall? Like 5 Mirandas
HUCK YEAH!!!!! CONGRATS MIRANDA! YEEWWW!!!! \m/ :D
Jaw Drop or Toonie Drop next?! :D
Why not both eh?!
Good job! Net up: the drop up by Freds!
That one is a heavy landing!
Awesome. Too big for me. Loving this channel
Thanks for watching! A couple watches of this and you'll be ready for it!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
WOOOOOO!
"Suuuuuure you can do this!" The last thing that Remi's last 100 friends heard from him before they died ;-P
Nice. Showing my age but reminds me of another stud, Inga Thompson,and with that poney tail. Well done guys 🥳
It’s too bad Inga developed ME/CFS; horrible disease. Did she ever race off road? I remember her being a roadie.
@@keirfarnum6811 don't remember her off road but she was fierce on the road. when i started racing they would sometimes put the women pro 1/2s with the Cat 3 men in early spring races. So i had the privilege of riding with some legends from that time for a year or so. Was fun
haha wait a second, isn‘t that intro song the outro song of Hand of Blood? Now that would be a crossover episode ;)
Can we stop a second and just enjoy the camaraderie
We do.
Bunch of beauties. Nice work
Thanks a bunch!
Way to fuckin smash it Miranda!😎🤘🏻🤙🏻
Huge send..very impressive..🤟🤟id love to hit that,but i would crap myself...wich may affect aerodynamics🤣🤣,never stop pushing yerself
Same to you! Never stop pushing yourself!
So. GOOD.
Thanks!
Houston…we have lift off!
That first send was rowdy! Nice work! Please do not do Jah Drop, haha!
Too late! Its the next episode!
Great vid.. I especially loved the comment re the "just send it" culture.. It's such dangerous advice to inexperienced riders..
We are all for telling our buddies to send it but we usually make sure they have the skills to back it up!
Fuck Yeah! Well done Miranda ✌️
Y E S S S M I R A N D A ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
me with an open helmet and an unzipped hoodie to go buying groceries :D
New videos please!
"So if you'd like to see more sketchy moments from the 3 of us" and me thinking that I only saw 2/3 hitting the drop
Jesse needs to work up to drops that big at his own pace. 😜
Jesse was taking a day off after a large sketchy moment. He just needed a day to buff out.
Here you go: instagram.com/p/CE95JLYpt40/
that back wheel action is squirmiest ive ever seen , well done Miranda
Nothing for Miller Time
IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS!?!?!?!?!?
"velco check"
Tight, but not too tight.
come to santa cruz and double the steep chutes on Jaws
Lol, I know it’s been talked about by a few people.
See you there next year.
Ma! They done killed old Miranda
YER DARN TOOTIN!
Borelli train gap..?
Hmmm. There is an idea!
@@MGMAlternative just saying if you're stuck on ideas. 😆
First!!
Nice!
Toonie drop Miranda?
Probably just straight to jaw drop
Respect to Miranda. But this is exactly how to NOT do it! It was so close to an extreme crash possibly with a hit to the tree, better not think about it. But if I see it I was sure that she is not ready. This feature is very technical because of the bad, curve run-in. It needs to perfect the speed and got confidence in the run-in. She was not ready and she should do another 3-4 run-in and be sure he will go good, but very hard to do there. Too much risk so this is not a good manual on how to do it. To much a big gap between the first jump and this.
We would disagree. Miranda is more than capable of hitting a feature this big or bigger! A feature like this is always a risk but her skills far outweighed this feature. She did get a bit wild on the landing of the first attempt but again she had the skill to ride it out and go back and do it again. A lesser rider would and should call it quits then and there!
@@MGMAlternative You miss the point. Of course she is capable, that why she did it perfect in follow attempts. But run in here is with roots and curve and strait part is short, so it is quite technical and do not boost confidence. The landing has the curve as well, so if you fail you can end up in tree. She was not ready to jump it and she should not have jump it. Maybe just a few more run in with stop and she can. The thing is, one should attempt something like this if he/she feels ready. You encourage her too much to do it sooner. It was 50/50. To much risk. The truth is, she did not jump it first, but she save the fall, so it seems like a good attempt. I'm saying this because many people with much less skills looking at it and could make same mistake. You should teach how to do it right and save.
how many ads can you cram into a 10 minute vid? this is almost unwatchable....
sick!
