    and we go huh i did i texted them yeah okay decently dry probably stay low avoid that tree on the exit [Music] again probably low don’t want to have to break on those exits [Applause] damn it is mildly slack almost had it needs a nose pick just missed it it’s really tough conditions actually jesse could have a quick workout yeah so how are you finding this side of the hill man it’s just like it’s really hard to start the day you don’t feel like super fresh on your bike and it’s just roots attacking you everywhere so i’m like wow i can’t ride a bike so i think start slow and just like get comfortable on the bike first and then uh all the wide lines it looks like and for you is it peterson or jamnitzer that you prefer pets and for sure just back to long stages i think i’m gonna regret that with my arms blow up but uh i’m looking forward to like a long tacky stage thanks have a good day thank you crazy oh whoa damn freaking mitch with the lines i think though like see how hard it is to get into that high high but i think i almost had it right the first time just hit the low and then nose pick these treasures look like these stages look like just roots everywhere trying to bounce you off line so it’s got to be calm and take it wide hi there nice one that was good freaking hard dude uh just a hard left hander up there i feel like i want less compression i just want a little soft i think i’m gonna have two different setups for these trails and the big trails soft and nice to ride for these ones [Applause] that line’s too hard to make i think i don’t know just there’s a an outside line around that tree around me but i think it’s way too much effort yeah mitch did it look right there you go in the grass mitch did it but i think it was way too hard to get into it was the best the nose pick i kind of up the first time yeah [Applause] dave’s just down there you think like hey dave press slow dave uh yeah got that for speed [Applause] follow mr five oh no you’re good you really have to this is like the perfect trail of being loose even though you want to be tight and make every line have to let your bike move underneath you otherwise all those roots are just going to bounce you offline so it’s really tough stomp on the inside of that careful oh that’s kind of probably ah [Applause] yeah cool [Music] [Applause] ah [Applause] this is cool [Music] [Applause] thanks definitely i think the outside looks long but there’s a good support of the bottom to carry speed out of oh my god are you serious damn how’s that flight attendant y’all go jealous yeah you just carried speed eh nice tight latch [Music] just hope those bottom supports hold up good route there to get support [Music] that was gnarly damn that was wild [Music] entirely too much into that probably faster than race day oh so come in huck low there set that up because you don’t want to be turning off that and then yeah there’s a little low behind that tree hit it and then bounce right to cut back left otherwise it’s gonna be breaking and losing speed set that up to carry exit speed we’re probably just gonna ditch it cool wood on the back side of that turn [Applause] there’s so many roots freaking everywhere oh don’t do that dude it’s just they’re kind of grippy so you can kind of trust it but ah oh probably wide the whole way seems safe dude you’re literally skating on so many roots oh but my back feels pretty tiled dude how bad this is gonna be after hundreds of people destroyed but it’s hard these days because ah maybe you just can’t go slow so you can’t just ride this stage chill and inconsistent got a freaking attack goggles are fogging too i should probably stop before i can’t see anymore they love to build trails over roots here it’s really cool yeah just hunt for the low support [Applause] ah [Music] huh

    1. EWS is so interesting…. They just find new ways to fuck up the flow every year. At least sugar loaf and burke will be fun. I'll be racing the 100 there lol

    2. Excellent video and I really appreciate the commentary. Its nice to know what's going through a skilled riders head while they are riding. My commentary would just be a string of curse words and the howl of my brakes as I drag them

    3. far out, looks tough but super fun! hey what bike computer do you run Jesse? i want to have something that goes landscape like you have it, looks mint👌
