Video: Jesse Melamed Claims the 2022 Overall EWS

by Rocky Mountain  

The Rocky Mountain Race Face Team was back at it for the eighth and final round of this year’s EWS season. After a bit of inclement weather in Switzerland, they were met with clear skies (for a bit) in the beautiful Pyrenean town of Loudenvielle, France. It was all on the line for Jesse, a clean race, and he’d win his first EWS overall. Championship implications, cows, and more crashes make up Episode 8 of The Jank Files.

 Happy for Jesse. He had been building up to this the last couple of EWS season and finally got it done. Plus, I love the jank files video series. Seems like really good team vibes from all of them.

 Jesse, you deserve this win on every level. You’re an exemplary champion.

 Enduro racing is lucky to have a champion like Jesse. Seems so down to earth and like an actual part of the mtb community, willing to share his knowledge and experiences. Seems so relatable, cruise your way to the top, bomb the run back down as fast as you can, repeat as many times as you can, come back and share with your homies. You don’t often get that with other forms of racing, or other riders

 Definitely seems like a really friendly guy, the type who wouldn't make you feel left out or inadequate even though he's one of the fastest out there

 That's because he's rocking a mullet haircut instead. Business in the front, party in the back. Wink
