  • Jesse has had the goal to tick off one of Remy Metalliers sketchier lines in Squamish since the very first time he saw it. At the time, the race season was just around the corner and it felt like the moment was right for Jesse to step up and out of his comfort zone!

    Nice to see you send it. Also nice to see you scared! Probably means it's not too easy of a line!

      It just trips me out! Definitely not an easy line.

      Now you have to do a full Remy Line or Remy follow Videos. 🚵

    When even Yohan Barelli bailed on his first day on that feature, you know it's gnarly

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Exactly! That didn't help Jesse's mindset either.

    Definitely a mental thing, jess is the sickest shredder and needs to let his natural (world class) ability to flow, and the in built ridiculous talent is insane dude. Love from the UK 🤙✌️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

    Damn, I'm getting old. If I can't on sight something, or just do it after looking at it once, I won't do it. Nice work getting it done!

    Keep it up! This is such a great / valuable perspective to be walked through. Editing remains solid. Content is great. The three of you are an incredible trio🤙🍻🚵‍♂️

    • @MGMAlternative

      Thanks a lot for the compliments! It's really nice to hear.

  • @crazyoldmaninthewoods
    @crazyoldmaninthewoods 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Freeride mountain biking, nervous as hell, doing a ton of dry run-ins to build confidence then just flicking the switch and hitting it - but still cr4pping it! Great vid guys, love the realism, Andy

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's exactly it! Glad you liked it.

    Jesse always has nice hang time on the big crazy drops.

  • @jevanskickstandcrew8373
    @jevanskickstandcrew8373 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm sure the camera is not doing these justice. This mental process is so important, I learnt it through another sport, when you figure out your most successful way of dealing with commitment you can apply it elsewhere, it's not a guarantee that you won't get hurt but changing your mind has no place in these scenario's. Thankyou Miranda and Remi for being patient filmers and not making the WE CAN COME BACK AGAIN SOME TIME comment.

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's the cool thing about sport, you learn a lot that can be applied to life.

  • @jfs6545
    @jfs6545 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Jesse, you said you didn't want to ignore your gut feelings (Good call, I think), and that you think about all that can go wrong(I do that!). Does that feeling go away when you are really ready to pull the trigger? Or do you just work through the fears one at a time mentally so you know you are good, and then ignore the apprehension?
    Either way, that's amazing! All of those drops are gnarly. Great job to the MGM trio once again. Sharing honesty and making us better riders!

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jesse here - I think I mentioned that in the video, the process is about working through all the things that make you doubt yourself on the feature. I was able to practice the jump turn to the left, hitting the compression and run-out fast, and do the two moves before. So my confidence was high and I had a lot less doubt than the first time I looked at the drop. I really felt like I would have no problem doing it, I just had to do it. I had built it up in my head so much to be a big feature and that was the last thing I had to overcome.

  • @RobinStethem
    @RobinStethem 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Accidents happen man especially when you are pushing it real hard trying to grab podiums don’t let people get in your head about who or what type of rider you are just do your thing, great video respect for showing the process here.

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's what we have to tell ourselves! Thank you!

    Vibes dude! ✌

  • @LevoRider
    @LevoRider 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    First time viewing your video’s, I hit the subscribe button right after the first drop. Liked how you broke it down, I can tell you I am never hitting something like that but it does help seeing expert riders with doubts. Makes it relatable to average riders even though they will never (I mean ever!) hit something even remotely close to that cliff. Though on a side note, I would do it on skis in 4’ of snow😬

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    OK, first: amazing man! Always pleasure to watch you, and even more fun to watch you struggle lol. (disclaimer: I won't hit those features in my lifetime)
    and, a weird question: (in the beginning) is this the same music that Pestily uses for his videos (particularly hardcore videos). Maybe it is just a free song, that is easy to add to videos :) but funny coincidence either way :)

    • @MGMAlternative
      @MGMAlternative  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      could be. it is just music that we find and are able to licence for minimal $$$
