Check out Whistler Wildman and OneUp team rider Jesse Melamed ripping our favourite Sunshine Coast loamers.

They say shredits are dead, but we don't care. When we sleep we dream we're the MelaSHRED riding loam ribbons at light speed.

Sweet dreams, from your friends at OneUp Components

Big thanks to Paul the builder for the rake and dream ride and JF at Spin Cycles

Filmed by @PeterWojnar / Song - Not Led Zeppelin

 Nice vid! Hit all the marks for me; balls out riding, cool tune, and awesome helmet cam sequence. Does anyone know the name of the band from the soundtrack? I must listen to more!

Wanting to ride those trails, don’t expect to be going anywhere as fast...

 what a trail and what a rider! awesome style, Jesse M videos are at the top of my all time fav list. and wasn't that a lost song from Zep III ?
  • 9 1
 No, Greta Van Fleet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=86_vnQc1oBE But they sure do sound like Led Zep.
  • 4 0
 So not Led Zep.

 Everytime I hear Greta Van Fleet it picture ADAM SANDLER singing Led Zep. I'm probably the only one.

 I've not been on Pinkbike in a while. Looked through all the posts and came straight to this one; as soon as I saw Jesse Melamed in the title that's all the info I needed. All the very best luck for the 2019 season Jesse.

 Jesse is just a smooth SOB! Dripping with style and control. The support of a factory team like Rocky and a bike like the Instinct...he hit the friggin lottery!

 Jesse, if you're out there. is your bike mostly stock, or do you over fork it and do other mods besides all high end parts and wheel inserts?
  • 16 0
 Hello? Is it me you're looking for?
It's mostly stock! I do run a 170mm fork but otherwise it's 'stock' with our team parts.

 1:15 to 1:35 hint: believe it is last stage from 2015 Sunshine Coast Enduro. That was a classic event. Glory days of this new "Enduro" format. The 3rd last stage is as loamy as it gets - think I was one of the few to ride in 2018 (Red Trail).
