Many of the skilled trailbuilders in the Sea To Sky have looked at Ken's rock and trailwork and marvelled at its exquisite perfection

He did it twice too! We had to do another take of that and he was all keen to do it again and almost lost it again! Madman!

@JesseMelamed: ah ok I think I get it, his massive cojones kept him weighed down so he didn't go out the front door.

i'm sure @yoannbarelli could probably draw another diagram to explain the physics

Such a good video. Dude is so fast and precise it's hard to fathom. No doubt in my mind he'll be back on form sooner than later, you just can't possess that much raw talent and wierd fucking bike intuition and not be at the top of the food chain. Sucks to get injured but it's a great excuse to step up the training even more in the downtime. Such a ripper.

Nice Jesse! I remember you saying you were working on this segment and I've been waiting to see the footage. It came out great man. Proper shredding & stoked to see Ken get recognition for his ridiculously amazing and tireless work on the local trails!

Favorite rider to watch on the EWS circuit. Next season hopefully all the injuries and hard work pay off with some wins! Awesome riding Jesse.

"I did it again" says dad who is 30 years older than me probably, and definitely a better rider than I will ever be

what a boss.

I only wish I could be as cool as that dad. Major props to him for rolling hard!
Also, where can I get high-res photos of the forest shots? They are perfect monitor wallpaper!

@JesseMelamed: I mistook your Dad saying both of you got to do what you wanted to and it became the famiy sport. Its awesome your whole family can go for a ride. Your dad rips!

His brother is currently sitting in 7th overall of the FWS. Some would argue that the FWS is more important than the EWS.
