  • It was such a privilege to be able to race this legendary track again. I remember watching the likes of Stevie Smith, Tyler Morland, Sam Hill and Kovarik race this back in the day.
    It was proper steep and flat out for so long!

    That is just insanely fast. That beginning - the GoPro effect makes you think: why isn't he going a bit faster? But hearing the skidding, you can tell it's just so insanely steep that it's a super careful balancing act between not completely skidding out and picking up too much speed you can't get any braking done anymore.
    Then some hike a bike, and more super steep stuff, which I can't believe you rode that fast. And it's just all pure singletrack, no real line choice, or "I'll go a little wider to bleed off speed for a turn" - it's do or die! And it just...
    ...goes...
    ...on.
    Well done Jesse. Not sure where you finished, but well done. I look at the hundreds of turns you did at mach speed on this run, and it makes it all the more unbelievable that you crashed in the Enduro last week.
