MOCK SQUAMISH ENDURO RACING - ANGRY HALF NELSON 

Nothing should get in the way of being a nice person.

@@JesseMelamedMTB Wise words, Jesse!

@@JesseMelamedMTB most Canadian thing I heard all day 👍👍

@@LongLiveEnduro 2

Doing my best!

I do know these trails pretty well so not that much more speed to be gained here.

@@JesseMelamedMTB True, but overall - we’ll see.

That's me!

Such a good stage here!

That was tough haha.

Glad to hear! I can definitely do more of these easy.

do it! please! you dont even have to comment anything, i just love the continuous riding on those stage-like runs

@@HannyDart Easy!

Trying to!

Crazy eh? Never raced half Nelson and I definitely rode it a lot different than normal.

Glad you like them!

Oh man I hope so!

Thanks! I wish I could pause and breathe.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I get a little excited and just go fast.

Just keep on riding!

Yes. Thanks you.

Just not quite long enough!

They are! See you there!

Thanks!

Have fun when you do!

that's what I train for!

They are super fun!

Tons of trails! I didn’t expect them to move so quick! Felt bad!

hahah same with me!

Definitely! Thanks!

That's awesome to hear!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! good practice.

:)

That's what I like to hear!

They are fun at every speed!

Man, me too!

Haha yea sure!

@@JesseMelamedMTB Taking you up on that! :)

Trying to!

A bit shaky at points...

I could! You can get the camera I use here: Hero 9: prf.hn/l/7YELVa2 And then the settings will be relevant.

Part of my training haha

It sounds like you're doing all the right stuff! It's just more training, once you get fatigued into a stage your form starts to falter and that's when you start to compensate and your lower back takes more load.

Not like I am a pro, but maybe experiment a little with different bar heights and or twisting the bars back or forwards it is amazing what 10mm of bar height feels like.

@@user-wg4tn2nj8o This is true, bike set up can have an impact!

Thanks guys! I’m definitely going to try a higher rise bar too. I went from flats to SPD which raised my seated and stance height a bit also and didn’t compensate the front end for that. Happy training!

@@1mesterious nice! Good luck!

It's up there. ~170avg. My max is 186.

Oh yes!

Yup!

Also all on Strava so I felt ok uploading this.

hahaha I felt bad about that!

It does it's job well!

@@JesseMelamedMTB I bet! It was just funny to see that basically everyone had the same one 🤣

You're welcome!

I hope so :)

YEA!

Haha I do like to stop on the way up to take it all in, then I can just focus on the trail on the way down!

@@JesseMelamedMTB i hope ur smiling the whole time downhill

@@jimmyblue3058 yup!

must be quite beautiful to see that wonderland at warp speed too 🤣

haha I was trying hard!

Proof is in the pudding.

We felt that haha. So much orange.

@@JesseMelamedMTB Haha, great video.

@@BFloBTW thanks!

Honestly not as often as you think. Just changed mine for the first time since racing last year, and they could have gone longer.

@@JesseMelamedMTB thanks for your reply. Interesting i ride once to twice a week and wash my bike with a hose often, im going through bearings every 4-6month was wondering if that was normal....

@@justing6614 Maybe just take a little extra care with the hose around the bearings, no need to wash with such pressure there.

@@JesseMelamedMTB thanks heaps

@@justing6614 No worries!

Same as always! Maxxis Assegai 2.5 and Dhr2 2.5

@@JesseMelamedMTB cheers Jesse and best of luck for this year.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!

Thanks!

hahaha I hope they are more inspired than demoralized .

Glad you liked this one! Little easier for me to do but still some tips in there!

Thanks!

Warm up for Euro jank!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm sorry! Lock me up!

I’ve ridden most of these trails a few times! But often when practicing for racing we don’t know where we’re going so you have to interpret the trail as fast as you can

I'm not sure, maybe there is a setting you have to click? I'm sure google has the answer.

Yes!

Depends on the season, but as summer is coming I am on the bike 5-6 days a week, but only 2-3 of those days are 'training' sessions. With full length efforts like this video or intervals, the body can't really handle much more than that and it just becomes diminishing returns. I'd say if you're a beginner just try and go on longer and longer rides when you can while listening to your body when you are tired and need a rest.

@@JesseMelamedMTB Thanks for the advice! Best of luck in the upcoming season :)

@@loamymtb thanks!

Glad you like it!

It was nice.

Birdwire!

Looks like it!

You are welcome!

woweeeee

hopefully get to warp 1.9 before the season.

Yup!

Best way to keep people from thinking it’s sped up I guess!

Be prepared not surprised.

Ok, here!

@@JesseMelamedMTB hahah cheers! 😂👍🏼 amazing videos man, I look forward to these 🤘🏼

My grip was slipping!

Pretty much

@@JesseMelamedMTB nice gotta try that sometime

Don't sell it!

Thanks!

hahaha I didn't want to put that at the beginning in case it was boring, but did want it in there.
