man that is loose! By the amount of sand and rocks already being moved around, the track will be even gnarlier on race day 😲But HOW COOL is that rain forest / Jungle? Best of luck for the season opener Jesse!

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

It's so sick to be racing here

[@FlyingMeta]

Rumble in the Jungle! 🔥these stages look so sooo gooood !!!

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

They are crazy

[@Ganiscol]

Beautiful scenery with a snaking track that is littered with murder corners and phantom berms 🔥

[@KiangaBahati]

"I will wait for the cheers..." LOL! Good stuff! Love the way you share your process.

[@justing6614]

The trail looks so good!! GO JESSE

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

It just keeps going!

[@MrBrenos]

Sick mate. You guys are so lucky that it hasn’t rained. Maydena gets wild when it’s wet.

[@blueage1560]

Maydena is looking unreal

[@federicomarmolejo1952]

This track is one of the best I recalled seeing :) Once again your videos are prime, Thank you and good luck!

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

It's real good!

[@bryndrew]

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Thank you! I'll try

[@walterbrown6388]

That looks like some really cool terrain. Thanks for posting.

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

You're welcome

[@jk2302]

Oh man those off cambers are reeeeaaaallllyyyyyy "Off". That track is nutty!

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

hahah they are

[@AlanChurchill]

Nice one Jesse.... the speed at which you read and trust the direction the trail is going is epic... nice work.... also good to see Troy out there on enduro! Have an awesome rest of your weekend!

[@mikeysbikeadventures]

Epic again Jesse. Many Tricky sections at some places. Holy moly….😮 Keep it together at sunday 😃🤘🏻🙏🏼

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

That's the plan!

[@danm5810]

Looking fast for practice run. It’s a great stage, proper test at the end of the day.

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Definitely going to be hard as the last stage

[@stumpy25lbs]

Faast for a first practice run! Go Jesse! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Thanks!

[@staticshok3056]

Great to see you on Canyon. Jesse, please tell us what headset cover you are using so the rest of us Spectral owners can get an after market one that doesn’t creak incessantly and Canyon clearly approve and prefer. Cheers.

[@tonyhickson2500]

I had to pause to give my arms a rest a couple of times just watching! 😂

[@edwin.jansen]

Pfff... Those were some close encounters of the tree kind! Glad you are still in one piece! Of course, I think you are taking on way too much risk for a practice ride, but I am not a professional.

[@fillfreakin2245]

Wow wow wow - that is an exciting looking track! Is that one single timed section? That is one long ride - gonna be super hard to stay sharp the whole way down.

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

yes it is! Super long!

[@TimMaddux]

“This is enduro, dude” nice

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

dude, nice.

[@downhillupside]

Tracks look fun as hell, though they're definitely going to change a lot by the time the last elite men come down.

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

yea that fresh section will be mayhem

[@dirttrackdemons5396]

pickin lines and feelin fine!

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

yessirrrrr

[@outsidefootdab4878]

riding the spectral its a great bike, but why not the strive or the 29er torque?

[@bullseye0112]

It's crazy it almost looks like that bike is too torsionally stiff for the way you normally ride. Maybe because the bikes are made in Germany😂😂 Not to mention the track being crazy super tight with a lot of variables. Good luck Jesse just have fun on this one slow is smooth smooth is fast😂🔥👊.

[@MrSupermugen]

the spectral is made in Taiwan....

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

how can you tell?

[@bullseye0112]

@@JesseMelamedMTB it's the way the bike and you move on the track. It just seems a little stiffer and not as fluid as your normal riding

[@bullseye0112]

@@MrSupermugen yeah but it's designed in Germany

[@MrSupermugen]

@@bullseye0112 so? lol you said "made in germany"

[@jeffcragle8665]

“This is enduro, dude” hahahahahaha

[@MTBMCP]

I was there a month ago and it ruined my hands! Now I don't feel so bad when TB says his are sore!!

[@michapuchaa6079]

Jessy what app are u using for set up ? Is it top secret ? Is it connected with ShockWiz ?

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

It's Motion Instruments

[@bluecat920]

WOW

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

yep

[@laidbackBEN]

Gonna have to change your phone passcode now 😂

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

haha yup

[@laidbackBEN]

Really nice riding though dude! You're gonna tear it up

[@ryanmiller-su1rx]

Where can I watch this?

[@fat82much]

So quick Jesse! You made me check my settings multiple times to make sure it wasn’t sped up

[@ebutuoy8272]

Didn't know Troy was doing Enduro. First time?

[@Mvees]

Just follow Troy down Jesse and you can relax into the top 10

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

haha I wish I could

[@Mvees]

@@JesseMelamedMTB your runs were amazing ! Congratulations on a very tough event !

[@DavidFoundCo]

You looked faster on the altitude. Maybe the frame is too stiff or kinematics are setup for heavier riders?

[@downhillupside]

Impossible to tell until we see actual race runs.

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

We'll find out race day

[@DavidFoundCo]

@@JesseMelamedMTB good luck mate 👍

[@marcelbuhler1639]

What app is he using there

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Motion Instruments

[@marcelbuhler1639]

Can you tell how it is called?

hah yesss

[@kokole95]

The real question is did troy jump that gap?

[@jltrack]

Sure sounded like it 🎉

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

haha yea you can hear by the crowd that he did!

[@gregorythompson5826]

I thought Troy was a DH guy?

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

He's a bike rider

[@mongooseman310]

Sik A$$Track you guy ripping

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Cheers!

[@TheDoctor46vr]

Thanks for the content bro but we need this in 60fps please. 4K is great but you don't get to optimise how good for 4K could be without 60FPS

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

Looks faster like this though!

[@TheDoctor46vr]

@@JesseMelamedMTB haha. How come no chest mount? Is that for safety? I just thought the extra grams on the head wouldn't be better in terms of centre of gravity
