- My first time riding Prevost and it did not disappoint! Finally made it out and was shown the speed and the size of all the features. Not the last time I will be there for sure!

Finn practicing social distancing Pre-COVID. Whata lad
Haha yup! Extending the 2m rule to the 10m rule and beyond.
Patrick White That kid is dam Talented! That’s a future World Champion there!...
took me a second to get it haha
the epedemic is fake i know a person who works with corona and the virus is man made and when ppl die from other deseses they just say its corona so they get more money. Its insane how fake it is
@@Productive_Chad epidemiological advice from a guy who can't spell disease. Seems legit.
Honestly, the speed were crazy and these roadgaps came out of nowhere!!! Insane! I hope to be getting this good!
It's such a good place to ride!
Dude, this content is exactly what I need right now. No World Cup or EWS to watch? No problem! Please keep posting these POV vids. So cool to watch you guys chase each other down tight BC trails.
Will do!
It’s insane to see how fast Finn rides, he even manages to leave you guys in the dust!
But Finn rode the tracks before and he also had some advantages with the dh bike
@@Lucas-jj4jl Thanks for backing me up! You are right, he knows these trails well and the DH bike makes a big difference.
He's also one of the fastest DH racers in the word!
@@JesseMelamedMTB I was the opposite - amazed you guys on your little bikes kept it so close.
@@quinnduffy6689 Thank you!
"Ow" is now my second favourite Jesse Melamed quote - my favourite being "Oh hey buddy" when that chipmunk ran across the trail in front of you in your Whistler EWS 2019 Stage 2 video.
hahaha love your reminder of that!
Man Prevost has gotten big. That is at lot of committed trails.
It’s so fast!
It's crazy to see Finn pulling away like that! Dude's got skills.... nice one fro staying on your bike there Jesse - you make the craziest trails ever look easy! Nice work to all the gang and thanks for posting!
Road gaps galore. The speed you're running. Jeez... That case though.. Ugh. I felt like my balls went up my chest. 🤣
Finn was like, "Here's what you have to do and where you would go coz there's a large possibility that I would leave y'all." 😅 That dude was hauling even with just his leisure pace..
Haha exactly why he was explaining it!
You can tell why DH racers love Prevost, though. The sustained high speeds there are pretty unique for BC riding, outside of bike parks.
Definitely! It's super good!
It’s hundreds of man hours worth of work from the locals that make this place great
@@Islandstonr it's amazing work!
Best enduro I’ve ever seen
One of my favourites too!
This was so sick! Two of my favorite riders going crazy fast on sick trails!
sick!
Completely on the edge of my seat watching this. Those were some fun hits and warp speeds. I haven't ridden there. Loved the creek gap! Nice work hanging with Finn on his DH bike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing speeds on the enduro...big jumps also...respect! Stay good
Thanks!
Nice trails. Crazy speed!
Thanks!
Man that video was freakin awesome! you guys are so fast! Finn's speed is crazy, granted he's on a DH bike but still. Love watching your videos Jesse, please keep making them for us. you inspire me to be a better rider for sure! Hey can we get a bike check video sometime in the near future?? would like to know any tips and tricks you might have when it comes to bike setup. CHEERS BRO!
Thanks man! Bike check video is on the list!
Wow, those trails are incredible.
prettyjohnshill76 thank the locals.
Lots of work!
Holy crap! Absolutely nuts...we need more of this!
Did you check out my other videos?
@@JesseMelamedMTB I have now!
@@thenorthshoremtb6951 Nice! More to come too
@@JesseMelamedMTB Looking forward to it dude!
Damn! Such amazing riding! I got so work to do, ha. Sick video, dude.
Haha thanks.
no words can describe this riding
maybe emojis?
Damn you guys were flyin🔥
It's quick there!
It just amazes me how active you guys are on the bikes. You keep pushing and pumping while being so centered on the bike! So I'll try to let go off the brakes, read the terrain while looking far far ahead down the trail while pumping like a maniac and taking off where it makes sense to smoothen the ride to minimalize rolling resistance. Lesson learned :) That's the theory at least.
There is the 'neutral' position that bike coaches will talk about, and that will always be your center. But you are able to play around and deviate from that neutral position if you are always in control and able to revert back to it.
Good to know what could be done with my bike aswell!
haha
almost spat up my morning coffee on that intro case.
oh man I would have felt bad for taking away some of your morning coffee!
Those trails are awesome! I envy them cause our were destroyed :( cheers!
No! I'm sorry to hear that.
Creazy how fast finn is🤯
Very fast!
pristine riding on pristine trails.
looks like heaven :O
It is!
Go Jesse!!! .. and Remi, of course 😎
ha yes!
Watched it twice.
So foking good.
Sick! Thanks!
Man! I really don't know how you survided those cases. Speed was mental though... keep it up and be safe!
I got a bit lucky!
@@JesseMelamedMTB Naw, it's all about the SLAYER!!
Jeez! Finn takes off! 😂😂
Yup! He's on a DH bike and knows the trail way better than me though!
For future videos, a wind cover for the GoPro mic would be epic. Great video though, loved it!
I have one but apparently it doesn't work so well. I am trying some mods so I will hopefully reduce the wind noise. Thank you!
To be half that good would be great, Fantastic riding ,
I'm hoping to be half as good as Finn haha
the skills needed to ride that fast.. impressive!
Thanks!
Safe to say Finn don’t fuck around, especially with 35mm of extra squish, and remi was “slaying” up that trail like what Jason does to sex driven teens. Jesse, u a boss for this gem 💎 of a vid.
haha thanks!
Awesome Video, thnaks for the Upload. Great start into the evening. But how fast is finn :D
Nice! You're welcome!
Sending those doubles blind is some risky behavior lmao. I scout everything to excess before sending anything....
I normally do as well! But I've been following Remi for years and know him well. He knows the trails well so I trusted him
Such sick riding👍. What’s the trail with the crazy wooden drop called at 5:50 ?
Amazing vid! Too bad you couldn’t muffle a bit the wind on your GoPro, but it shows how fast you were all going :-o Btw, what chainstay protector do you have? Your bike sounded incredibly quiet!
I have bought some wind mufflers so hopefully the next videos are better!
Rocky have made their own chainstay protector that I was using.
Fucking hell!!! That was some speed!! Even tough I know the cam make it slower you see that it's fast!
Very true! So fun.
Friggin S I C K ! ! ! 🤙
Hell yea!
They say it's the craziest trail set on Vancouver Island Ha I'd say so, 99% of features on most trails there is a chicken line... those you have to commit 100% when you enter lols thats above my pay grade. I had fun on Menzies mountain.
Jesus!
Moses!
sorry for the ignorance but lately I've been seeing his videos and I was wondering, does he race professionaly?
Yes we all do!
Dam!!!...Pro riders Ripp’n down a mega fast hard trail....Is this trail in BC?...
Yes it is!
What kind of bike computer do you use? Do you have a power meter in your crank?
It's a Stages Cycling Dash. Yes I have a power meter as well.
Finn us just on a different level of fast
100%. He knows these trails well and does not hold back.
@@JesseMelamedMTB And he had 30-40 extra mm's of travel! suprising how well you were able to keep up
@Jesse, how many runs to carry that speed?
A lot of that was my first run down.
Jesse one question - how much pro DH racer like Finn Illes differs from a proffesional Enduro racer like you when it comes to skills, pace downhill etc?
I would say when it comes down to it we are similar. He just has more skills and practice going really fast on a DH bike and DH track with many runs whereas as I have more skills and practice going fast on and Enduro track with less runs.
"Thank God i have 165 mils of travel!" Even so I'm still not sure how you managed to stay on. Heck just knowing you're riding a slayer on that case tells me theyve straightened out that chainstay issue!
There was never an issue with the bike...check your bolts often!
Wasn't a chainstay issue, it was a loose axle, that should have been checked and tightened before the ride. Any bike would have failed the same way with a loose axle. Rocky took the high road and never said anything trying to avoid a "Pole" situation.
@@ianwish5738 Correct! Glad some people know.
@@ianwish5738 smart play by them. Pole and Leo took a beating, although his attitude and their history of customer service issues doesn't help.
@@JesseMelamedMTB Interesting... Makes me feel a little surprised/disappointed Pinkbike didn't come out with their own clarifying statement
Jesse what did you ride before the Slayer?
They were on Instinct BCs.
@@kevinkmiller ah thank you!
@@Rasakson Kevin Miller is right!
yes lad
yew!
0:13 dont worry mate ill send ya the contact info for my lawyer hes real good😉
hahah yes please! It's a bad one.
i want to challenge you guys for eating competition lol
the fastest win lol
ha we'll win for sure
If the virus gets crankworx cancelled I’m gonna go mental
We'll see...
Jesse Melamed whistler EWS just cancelled so things aren’t looking great
@@treyblakeandrew I knowwww
Can't do a follow cam with Finn, he's just gone.
I'll try harder next time!
Is this when the gap was filmed? Where's that POV footage instagram.com/p/B9iXCmfJyMA/?
Holy shit
Yup!
@@JesseMelamedMTB You seems to land not far away from the tree... were you afraid in the air or it's nothing for pros like you? :P
@@SsmAnyfeSt Once I was in the air I knew I wouldn't hit the tree, so I was not afraid. I was afraid before I was in the air because it was a very big jump.
@@JesseMelamedMTB haha cool, thanks for answering! Really impressive to see the speed you're all going in the super steep stuff while still jumping! lol Subscribed! :)
Is this where he did this crazy gap? - instagram.com/p/B9ztZsXpIw6/
Yes! 02:38
Fuckkkk that was insane!!! The speed!! That cute little jump and land like a mile further! haha
@@SsmAnyfeSt haha yup exactly
Finnish Island is going, going, gone!
hahaha
Oh yea , at least my bike has brakes! Lock up the perpetrators of lock down
haha
