Video: Jesse Melamed Breaks Down Pamplemousse Trail In Squamish

 Through all the trail previous Remy is really starting to become a bit of a signature for the BC area trails for me. Also, every once in a while I find myself commentating à la Remy Metailler style when out riding, you're not on your own.

 To each their own! He did do it first!

 @JesseMelamed: When things relax , I know a trail you should ride. It,s in the Fraser Valley. Protected by aliens .

 @cheetamike: oh? Well yes, I would love that. Especially the part about the aliens.

 @JesseMelamed: check you PM

 Ah sweet! That's a win-win then in my books haha. Love it!

 Yes! I'm glad you said that. Thank you!

 There are some really fun sections to open it up on this trail, which I why I love it. And hitting those corners at speed is really fun!

 Trophy of Nations (before I get Pink-shredded ha ha)

 I may They'll be out in due time.

 Are you sure it's just your bike that is crying?

 @JesseMelamed: yeah both of us miss Canada very much right now

 Which one am I?

 @JesseMelamed: Murray (the band manager)

 Murray: Okay guys, notes on yesterday's gig. We got several complaints about the noise. You gotta remember this is in a library. Bear that in mind.
Bret: Yeah, but it's so hard to play there 'cause everyone wants us to be quiet.
Jemaine: They keep shushing us.
Murray: They're trying to read!
Bret: We may as well not be there if we're not gonna make any sound.
Murray: Well, you can make sound, just make it so people can't hear you.

 @shimanodx: Yea alright, I'll take it.

 Cut your bars

 That's part of the 'scandi' flick! It helps lean the bike over really quickly, you can see it in the slow mo video in the trail breakdown video!

 @neilbarkman02: that too..

 @JesseMelamed: you should do a vid just on scandis... including what to do regarding braking, body and pedal position.

 @JaumeV18: Added to the list! Thanks!

 @JesseMelamed: Great, thanks!

 Can do!

 Someone already mentioned that to me! Next time I ride the trail I will scope it out properly!

 It sounds like you are right in between the speeds for each of those moves, so in that case you could try and manual through them. It allows you to pump through them(with your rear wheel) faster than rolling through and you don't need as much speed as you would if you were to jump them.
It is a hard move to get but you don't actually need to know how to manual to do it, although it would make it easier. Because there is a lip your front wheel is already being guided up, so you can think about getting your front wheel to the transition of the second bump, and then push your rear wheel into the dip between the two. As long as you get your front wheel over the second bump it shouldn't be a dangerous move to practice!

 @nanogram and @jessemelamed I’ll throw in my two cents if you don’t mind . Those rock lips I built up like that so the lips maintain their shape with lots of roll overs, but they ride like a normal dirt take offs. That one step up you may be referring too it’s spooky but the jump
is well shaped. Carry moderate speed through the right hander before it and you’ll be surprised how easily you can clear it. Same applies for the jumps lower down on the trail. I’d suggest going to a trail like Slippery Salmon first to make sure you have your jumps dialled. And feel free to get in touch if you’re in Squamish and we can help you out!

 @RideBCsquamish: Totally! Good advice.

 You are welcome! Thank you!

 @JesseMelamed: And your video reminded me that I have to buy a new bike helmet for this year. That Smith helmet looks sweet!

 Thanks! I'll do my best!

 Why would you think that!?

 This is one of the best!

 You're welcome! Glad you can get something from it!

 It's a good one, nice climbing trail up to it as well!

 @JesseMelamed: cheers

 You're welcome!

 I don't like the sound of that.

 You're welcome!
