Video: Melamed, Gauvin & Lanthier Nadeau in Episode 2 of 'The Jank Files'
The Rocky Mountain Race Face Team was back in La Thuile, Italy to test out the infamous steep and gnarly tracks that descend below treeline. With another week of back-to-back racing, Jesse Melamed, Andréane Lanthier Nadeau, and Rémi Gauvin’s days were packed full of gnarly rock gardens, unforgiving terrain, and the occasional Michelin Star dinner.
From a dominating lead in the Pro Stage to knitting at the hospital, the Rocky Mountain Enduro Team had a rollercoaster ride through the week in La Thuile. This is Episode 2 of The Jank Files.

@brianpark sorry I might have overlooked that but I'm genuinely interested – did you ever consider to create additional revenue by installing some sort of paywall or subscription model yourself instead of selling the whole thing?

Really have enjoyed watching Jesse grow as a rider over the last few years. Consistently working hard and smiling despite the pain.

ALN, Melamed, Gauvin. Representing Canada as Pro racers! The field is so damn stacked these days because everyone is training so hard. You guys all have such a good attitude and this Canuck is cheering you on!

Maybe not a PB paywall comment but, come on guys I know it sucks to see PB turn into a paywall. But maybe we can sign a petition? Write a letter to outside? Begin a coup? Go to outside hq with pitchforks and torches?

Maybe we (the magical trail gnome “we”) should collect up all the blue and green dog poo bags that collect along our local trails and relocate them around the Outside HQ. put your trash where trash belongs people.

That is not how it works. You simply start going to this website called "Vital" and the lacks of clicks will say all that needs to be said in case paywalls happen
