Anyone who thinks this is slow or he wasn't shredding needs to also realize that damp leaves are slippery as soap. Shredding in those conditions is a lot different than shredding in optimal conditions. That trail actually looks very similar to one of my local trails right now and traction is minimal at best.

he was hauling ass for those conditions!

Anyone else have they jaw drop at how he hooped up in one of those first berm close ups?! Eek

Hermit185 (Dec 18, 2012 at 16:14)

i would say he was straight up hauling ass, no terms or conditions explanations needed.

Yeah I know first hand how those kinds of trails are. The North Umpqua Trail in Oregon is my main trail to ride and "shredjekyll" is right leaves are slick plus you can't see the rocks below. I have the shredded arm to proove it. Still not going to keep me from ridding though.

Most of us that ride or at least try to ride all year around can see that conditions are what they are.. Yes he was fast. For me riding in non-optimal conditions is just as fun as riding in the optimal conditions. Getting looser and no jerky movement till summer!

Finally, he dumped that ellsworth Big Grin

KennyKillsIt (Dec 19, 2012 at 2:10)

I wanted to say the same, that trek looks gewd. I'd love to hear how it genuinely compares to his ellsworth

the Ellsworth is pretty much a Downhill bike with 90's technology, the Trek is one of the most modern downhill bikes around...

Wharncliffe and woods like it in the north of england at this time of year are shit to ride in... As above... No tyre works well and the traction is awful.... That was fast, as u would expect from Jack. The man is more solid than rock. Good to see u have a new ride dude...

song kind of killed the edit

on-the-trail (Dec 20, 2012 at 5:22)

I agree, however the riding itself, WOW!

freesportuk (Dec 22, 2012 at 11:38)

Sorry Gee, love your edits but the music sucks on this one, wanna hear the guy shred not a load of crap lyrics

geesbikes (Dec 19, 2012 at 12:06)

Is the song a sneaky dig at ellsworth? haha

dansands (Dec 18, 2012 at 16:43)

ovadebarz got it spot on, those trails are so difficult to ride at this time of year. its like a mexican slip and slide...

Muttly1981 (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:02)

Brandoncoughlin, 6th in the Garbanzo DH at Crankworx and top 50's in worldcups would point to him being perfectly able to shred. I've seen him ride and he rips on a bike

annoyes me how fast is is hitting most of the stuff there

Watching that fox 40 compress and extend through that video was awesome.

downhillmorise (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:20)

is he sponsored by trek now?

jamesrusby (Dec 18, 2012 at 23:21)

Mojo sponsored riders have trek 9.9's now

gee-milner Plus (Dec 19, 2012 at 3:23)

Jack bought the bike himself.

jamesrusby (Dec 19, 2012 at 11:26)

Had completely forgot that, he liked his 2012 one so much that he bought this one. Was tempted to buy his old one! Riders of his standard shouldn't have to buy their own bikes though...

downhillmorise (Dec 19, 2012 at 15:57)

there was a gap where he was looking for new sponsors because his contract ended with ellsworth so we would have had to buy all his own gear then

Again not worthy of pb homepage?? My guess is its off season and not a lot of good vids. Coming in.
Good riding in bad conditions. But I just finished watching Kenny smith shred and then watched this.... I think u get my point

wyattbighit99 (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:10)

he sucked! i mean hes good but uh idk

jamesrusby (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:15)

He shreds, don't get mad because you don't race worlds.

Downhill-Christy (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:31)

This guy who 'sucks' has managed to qualify 12th at world cups, is consistently top 50 and finished 3rd at the garbo... to top it off, he did all this while studying a masters degree in optometry so he had no time to train.

brandoncoughlin (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:26)

For having that nice of a bike, I was expecting him to shred alot harder..

traviswynia (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:34)

I don't know what video you were watching but he looked pretty good to me... Was it the slow motion that made him look like he wasn't "shredding" hard enough?

Silocycle (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:45)

Or maybe it was the shite music, either way I couldn't finish watching an otherwise good edit.

gee-milner Plus (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:52)

Surely if the music was "shite" and the riding was awful then it can't possibly be a good edit? Wink

bigburd (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:56)

How can you say , from a video of some trails you have never ridden , or likely to of even seen ridden in a video that he is not ripping ?

brandoncoughlin (Dec 18, 2012 at 14:56)

Idk, maybe I just didn't like his riding style.. but, the filming was great..

Silocycle (Dec 18, 2012 at 15:03)

I watched it all the way through with better music... WAY better!
