The Enduro World Series stop in Whistler is one of the can’t-miss events of the EWS season: between the spectacle of Crankworx, the world-renowned rugged terrain, and the 20+ minute final stage, Whistler is a true test for enduro racers. The Rocky Mountain Race Face Enduro team was formed this year, and naturally, the Whistler EWS stop was circled on the calendar early on, with Jesse Melamed returning as the 2017 Whistler EWS champ. This is a true ‘Home Team’ event for the RM/RF riders, support staff, and team sponsors – both exciting and daunting as it creates a whole new level of pressure for the crew. Take an in-depth look as Jesse, Remi Gauvin and ALN navigate the challenges while dropping in to race their own backyard!
A huge thanks to the riders, staff and sponsors who made this in-depth look possible, and good luck to the team as they hit the next stops on the EWS tour!

Also, jerseys, yes please.
RM: please don't release an Altitude in the old maple leaf team paint job. I will have to sell my current one and buy that one...
But I could be bised
It was awesome to finally see the team together & see what happens at a race in person. I know Adam loves wrenching for the team & it's reassuring to know that you're all such a tight-knit family.
I still have the Timbits box somewhere…
Good luck at World's!
Because 29. We think we are faster on 29" wheels.
