Video: Jesse Melamed, Remi Gauvin & Andreane Lanthier Nadeau Take On Loudenvielle in Episode 3 of 'The Jank Files'
After riding at home in Canada for over a month, the Rocky Mountain Race Face Team returned to Europe to take on the double-header event in Loudenvielle, France. Conditions in the Pyrenees seem to change by the day, and the tracks went from fast to slick, with plenty of sweeping grass corners to navigate.
From the retro-inspired race kits to skipping rocks on the Génos-Loudenvielle lake. Endless discussions of tire choice and fast, grassy action is all packed into Episode 3 of The Jank Files.

Man those Agassi inspired kits are absolute fire, I can only imagine the late night that fostered the hilarious tennis court photo shoot idea. Can't imagine another race team pulling it off this well though!

I had the same shirt when I was playing tennis www.instagram.com/p/CTXUCrBjGld I had the same Donnay racket, which was produced in Couvin in Belgium. Now they need to make a pink baggy short! www.enstocks4d.top/ProductDetail.aspx?iid=61096333&pr=27.99

That photo on the tennis court is pretty cool. It reminds me of the 80s surf ads. Fun and light!

Bummed for ALN. Concussions suck and its good to hear that the team is giving her the time to recover. Best of luck at the next round.

I'm really glad RM have committed to putting these out. Tommy does a great job, and it's a really cool glimpse into what their team are up to. Sucks for ALN to get taken out on that crash - one of those ones that could so nearly have been a 'nothing' crash, but I guess equally it could have been worse...
Photos are rad too. Crazy to see how committed over the front Jesse is in a bunch of them!

The music was a bit too loud compared to people talking. Other than that - top notch, as always. Keep'em coming, favourite team.
