Mt. 7 PSYCHOSIS DH RACE RUN! Can We Beat Sam Hill's time?

[@HiddenSwat]

That looks so steep on camera, can’t imagine how it really is

[@thelongestnameinthecomment9677]

This is a joke compared to how steep it actually is...

[@Hephaestus_God]

@@thelongestnameinthecomment9677 You can tell when one of the best downhill bikers looks like he is taking a strole on flat ground that it's very steep lol

Absolutely fascinating how the mind and body can still function at such a high level when the cardiovascular system is under such stress. Cracking work.

There was no Hike-a-Bike in there. There was lack of training, endurance and skill.

[@dina3087]

Finally a POV of this race! Years waiting to see what it was like.

[@fillfreakin2245]

That is just insanely fast. That beginning - the GoPro effect makes you think: why isn't he going a bit faster? But hearing the skidding, you can tell it's just so insanely steep that it's a super careful balancing act between not completely skidding out and picking up too much speed you can't get any braking done anymore. Then some hike a bike, and more super steep stuff, which I can't believe you rode that fast. And it's just all pure singletrack, no real line choice, or "I'll go a little wider to bleed off speed for a turn" - it's do or die! And it just... ...goes... ...on. Well done Jesse. Not sure where you finished, but well done. I look at the hundreds of turns you did at mach speed on this run, and it makes it all the more unbelievable that you crashed in the Enduro last week.

[@tonyjofenig6833]

Hopefully they hold this for a few more years, so Sam can come back and defend his title on new equipment (13 years later?), pretty sure he would take a little time off his old record with bigger wheels and slacker geo, not to mention better tires, brakes, etc...

[@roik.6694]

I believe they raced this on a 26” wheels .

Thanks for the great view of this track. All I want in mtb vids is this... feeling like I'm riding when I can't get on the bike today.

[@rosie_______]

Sam pilgrim would call this the track of absolute steepness of doomage

Jesse you are insane. Your condition and fitness is outstanding. Just an inspiration. Good Luck and Have fun for the upcoming dual event

Crazy endurance man, I would have to stop at least 3 times! A long track in the UK is a quater of this track.

[@doppler327]

when the fast guys are crawling and dragging tire, respect the terrain, cant imagine how legit that trail must be

[@tsnaza250]

I've never seen a POV of this course, thanks for posting. Also didn't realize how long it is. My forearms woulda been blown out within the first mile, as steep as it looks. Didn't see the 'lap' comparison to Hills time, I'll have to look that up. Hella fast run, all on a single crown - must be the 38 up front, pulling damping duty!

[@akammer1000]

What a sick run! That middle hike a bike really shows mental fortitude to be able to go right back into pinning it once you get to the top. Unreal!

[@mickfromrocky]

That’s just nuts . Respect to anyone that drops in on this trail . Jesse thanks for sharing that

[@xdswaefr]

It’s so surreal seeing the hill I grew up sledding on being used as a racetrack again, and being absolutely picked apart and obliterated like this!!! Very very cool to see, that was some amazing racing

[@JesseMelamedMTB]

It's such a sick trail, would love to do it again!

[@maximosmorgan9727]

Wow....this is a track of extremes! Super steep sections, crazy pedal/hike a bike sections, super long! I think this track is in your wheelhouse Jesse! Rooting for you!!!

[@dracopalidine]

The uphill part where you had to get off the bike made me exhausted just from watching.

[@jptothetree]

For a pro to be taking it that cautiously in the beginning sector, you know it's gnarly as hell. You can hear the rear tire dragging like crazy!

[@TheRotundRider]

How slow and cautious you were at the start is a testament to how steep this trail is. That and the fact that it LOOKS steep on video too.

Sam's time was back in the day was 12:49. Crazy how much bikes have evolved since then 😮 However the course may have. Changed a little since then and the shortcut Jesse took maybe wasn't available then so Sam's time is still pretty close 👍

Let's not forget how much heavier those bikes are too vs these new skool ones
