Biking and Skiing from SUN-UP Till SUN-DOWN! - Winter Solstice with MGM

These days, it seems, if the stats aren’t impressive then it isn’t worth talking about. The circles we live in and around will often ask how far, how hard, how high, how long; but what about how fun? Too often we hear, “Good ride, that was 50km” and wonder, what does the 50km have to do with the fact it was a ‘good’ ride? To break free from solstice goals that are reached only by physical and mental punishment, we decided that on the shortest day, we deserved some simple fun.
We’re not sure the total distance, the elevation climbed or the calories burnt for the day but we remember Jesse’s backflip, Remi blowing up a snowy turn on his bike, the laughs we had, the mysteries and international problems we solved, the endless views and the feeling of reassurance that we were doing exactly WHAT we should be, exactly WHERE we should be.
We spent the day in a way that was worth talking about.

The guy downvoting this video stayed indoors on the solstice and got prank called by his wife's boyfriend.

[@MGMAlternative]

That prank call was us...

[@Romans--pe4yh]

Or he was upset because the Brutus drop episode didn't come out first lol

[@MGMAlternative]

@@Romans--pe4yh when will the Brutus drop episode DROP?!?

[@Romans--pe4yh]

@@MGMAlternative You tell ME!!! Can't wait to watch while I'm over here struggling with 4 ft drops lol (not the one who disliked btw)

[@blueage1560]

Today we learned that Jesse is good at sports.

[@MGMAlternative]

He is just one of those guys!

[@meganNefarious]

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

First one is coming, second one has been an idea. And now you've made it official.

[@walterbrown6388]

Fun Video. Keep 'em coming. We've seen the car, the workshop, and gotten some sweep coupon codes. Now I think we need to get a rundown of the house you're living in

[@MGMAlternative]

The joke would be ...too real.

[@micheandmikey]

So good, you guys are hilarious and fun! Keep them coming!

[@MGMAlternative]

[@josh_on_bikes]

Great job, you guys are great with making videos and have great personalitys.

[@MGMAlternative]

Thank-you! We are trying to have a wide variety of content.

[@davidaceto1532]

Can't wait to visit BC and spend days skiing, biking, and solving mysteries and international problems like this someday

[@MGMAlternative]

Mornings are for skiing and international problems while afternoons are for biking, bacon and mysteries!

[@veganvagabond]

Love watching mountain bikers ski like I do, except Jesse, he's annoyingly good 🤣. Rad content, keep it coming!

[@MGMAlternative]

Yah we prefer Miranda's backseat approach, haha. Jesse is so good!

[@dvrgntminds]

Wow! Should I quit biking and become a skier? 😉

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

I thought you'd be making a timbits comeback.

[@MGMAlternative]

Please do...

[@BCmtb]

Always a good day at diamond head

[@MGMAlternative]

True. Can't remember any bad days on Diamond Head!

[@endurogod-r1e]

[@MGMAlternative]

Thanks! It was a fun day, glad that showed.

[@meganNefarious]

I prefer unwholesome content...can you put up some of that too hahaha

[@asun3630]

Are those backcountry/ touring xc skis? I do a lot of xc skiing and i want to do more off trail stuff. Does anyone recommend a pair that wont break the bank? Gonna buy some for Mammoth 2021/2022 season.

[@forrestnelson7351]

So when's Jesse gonna quit bikes to be a pro skier?

[@MGMAlternative]

I was a skier before biking! And then I blew my knee and made the switch. Thankfully better at bikes. - Jesse
