Damn Jesse that was a sick one. Thanks for the upload, I enjoyed it so much. One of the best skill set ever and the nature is sick too. It don't have to be a fast one.. This kind of videos are awesome too
Really enjoyed seeing you pick your way down some tight steep tech trails rather than the usual warp speed flow, more relatable to what I ride in Scotland #janklove
Great trail, love this one!! But I have to admit that you better know where you want to put your wheels and your handlebar there! It's not high speed but definitely highly technical 😅
Nice ride!! one question about the camera settings you are using, I suppose you are recording with a GoPro 7 o 8, would you mind sharing your camera settings? it's difficult to shoot videos with that low light and good quality at the same time....cheers!
It's the new 8. For this lighting I locked the iso at 800 as I didn't want to lose any of the trail in the transitions between open areas. It's in 2.7k, 30fps and high bitrate which helps the quality at low light. I think the new camera works better in low light as well.
@@JesseMelamedMTB good info!! cheers for that, and thank you for the videos. it's a way to keep people like me who are under the covid19 lockdown motivated!
This is what I want to ride, you guys are extremely fortunate to call that your local trails, I have some gnar trails down here in southern Cali but this is some “one with nature” shit.
The new GoPro's are so good at stabilizing that a gimbal is not necessary for normal use. I do still like gimbals for the 'look' it can give footage. I just run my Hero8 on a chest mount and it works super well!
It's definitely a bigger bike and takes more work to move around, but it also handles really rough stuff a bit better. It's hard to really know which one would be faster over the long run. I really like riding the Slayer though, my preferred choice right now.
Only in BC will you find one of the top riders in the world having to tiptoe down sections of trail. Gnar is rear here. Hoping to check out that area myself this summer.

@@JesseMelamedMTB yea fair enough , finally a HG pov! haha . do you know the other trails in the zone?, i actually just rode them all yesterday ... coolest zone ever !
Hey! Sick trails and nice riding! At the 9:58 mark ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LoNISodxZ0A.html ) you drop from a stump with quite low speed. Is it a straight bunny or more like a nose bunk jump? I think drops like that are so hard when you dont have speed. Cheers
Yes Canada was fortunate that we saw what was happening before it was too late and have been able to keep the virus from spreading out of control too fast. I am grateful for every day we are still allowed outside
Jesse Melamed Decent 👌 I got some minor trails out back (here in the UK) that I can access so it’s not all bad. SB150 is a bit overkill but you take what you can get eh 🤷🏻♂️
@@mikeclarke6000 definitely! Just being out and about the bike is a big positive! Appreciate it while you can and for others that don't have the same opportunity
So you reckon it's a good idea riding theses trails on the edge with a mate right behind you with everything that's going on in the world?as long as you're both awesome and don't breath the same air then carry on🙄
As mentioned in my description, he is my roommate, and the only one I have been in contact with the last 3 weeks. And yes, for me, it is safer exploring trails slowly and fully focused rather than riding trails I know and may zone out on and make a mistake. I have been riding a bike my entire life and know the speed at which I can control myself as well as when and where I need to slow down to a safe speed where if I did crash nothing would happen. I am cognizant of the current situation and I am doing everything I can do keep myself happy and sane without affecting anyone else. I appreciate you keeping me honest though.
@@JesseMelamedMTB Sorry but you are bad exemple... like Trump bad example. Now try to tell the kids who follow you to not going to ride. You cash sponsors money for your video, they don't! you have access to private doctors, they don't! If they end up with somethings broken or a concussion because they want to try that nose manual you do SOOOOO easily, sorry kid no ER for you. Be the grown up here, some have you for model.
@@matgag8849 I appreciate your view. My example is that, because it is possible for me to do so in Canada, that it is possible to go out for a nice, easy exploratory ride with your housemate. I don't get cash for these videos, I do them because I get lots of requests asking for videos of my riding. I can't change the world and I don't intend to do so, but I can influence. I have had more people tell me this has helped them stay motivated and happy than the opposite. You can choose to see the negative or the positive.
