The way they cut in the shots of race day crowds with the track walk really made the anticipation build and helped you feel Blake getting pumped up for the race. Really great work
well done Blake racing is not about winning unless your Neil and why didn't Neil race we all know he shreds hard he is really fast, also no one gives credit to the camera men and the people behind the scenes so I just want to say those guys do such a good job keep up the magnificent work
Blake makes it so human, so close. One can really feel the adrenaline of not a racer, but just a human being facing the danger and the fun of a race like this. It is very inspiring for all of us, average riders who are just trying to improve our basic skills. Wonderful video.
Well done Blake for doing that, doesn't matter that you came last, at least you did it👍. I would of shut my eyes the whole way down and hoped for the best!
I really enjoyed that. Great to see that even the pros are a little anxious and spend a lot of time preparing. 'Just send it like the pros' lands a lot of people in trouble. Thanks guys!
What a crazy event!! Well done Blake, did gmbn proud and made it to the bottom unscathed 😂. Congrats man Awesome vid as usual, would love to see more of this kinda stuff
This was awesome! Pretty cool to see the vulnerability from Blake. Watching him and the other riders at GMBN it's easy to see how much skill they have, but knowing they are still human is cool. haha Also makes you realize how intense these other downhill racers are! Thanks for another awesome video
oh man!! I felt so nervous for Blake haha! You should come to dorst, The Netherlands, which is one the of the most technical parcourses in the Netherlands, and then let Neil and Blake race there and look who's faster on a super technical parcours with roots, tight turns and challenging hills everywhere in it!
So much memories watching this video, I remember going home at 9 AM after a house party and found all the people waiting for the races. What a night. Saludos from Chile!!
Incredible!!! Great vid, fantastic ending sequence. Gotta say, having seen a number of these urban dh vids over the years, i guess i'm quite numb to them - i get juiced on watching them, thinking "hell yeah, i'd love to try that!" but having someone like Blake walk the track, practice and finally run it, really gives you a lot more perspective and the whole thing a lot more impact. Bloody good job!
One of the best videos GMBN has done. Great editing. It made me nervous for Blake. He smashed it as usual. Enjoyed the walk through first. Looks insane.
You might have come in last place in the qualy, but you have the first place in our hearts. Thanks for the great show, was great seeing both of you at the event!
I'm sat at home letting gmbn play while I get build drones and this comes up! Massive props to Blake and the crew. Not only is the filming top notch but Blake, man, massive! If you guys are ever over on the west coast US and ever need a racing or video drone pilot, hit me up, if I can't fly it I know people that can.
Sir Blake. Your are an inspiration a true bloody legend. This is one of the best videos I’ve watched. My god this takes me back to the 90s making our own street freeride obstacles and jumps etc through the streets of Birmingham. Even if it got taken down. Keep up this excellent work my friend.
Mate you did it! it's all I have to say. If racing through the streets was your dream as a kid, you did it! I want you guys know that I support you, I have learned many things from this channel. Please keep doing this with the same quality and friendly manner. Btw, I built my own kicker ramp last weekend, a lot of fun with it! thank you! I'm from Chile, you're always welcome!
GMBN: You folks should submit this to a cinematic editing/outdoor sports award competition. Absolutely the BEST BY FAR you've done: editing; emotion; risk; storyline; etc. Reminds me of the "Free Solo" Nat Geo film.......equal quality.
Nice work Blake-see these races all the time on youtube and kinda take it for granted what the downhill riders do until you actually see how big and technical the drops, obstacles and jumps really are-very impressed-you have balls of steel😀👊🤘!
El capitán Sampson con los grandes cojones!! - holy crap that course looks awesome and terrifying ... love the commentary "I've got practice in like 20 minutes ... there's no wall ride! ...Some guy stopped and said 'Ah no worries man, we'll build this tonight' ... tonight? Race day's tomorrow mate!" 😂 I was also playing 'spot the famous riders' throughout the video 😁
Guys, this video was awesome! Much respect to Blake and the production team. The music combined with the race, made a great finale! That shot of Blake holding the flag and the way he tells us how his dream came trough, was beautiful!
I was there, and been there several times. I've watched lots of videos... lots! and this one is probably the best video of Valparaiso Cerro Abajo out there man, amazing editing. very respectful with the local city which is a poor city, and its very easy to complain about everything, specialy for an european. congratulations. thank you!
Thank you GMBN for coming to the end of the world and do this!! I have to say I almost cry watching this video (I´m Chilean of course). Good work Blake! Love you all guys
I know GMBN is owned by a larger company, and many times this can interfere with content creation, channel vision etc. That seems to NOT be the case here week after week. These videos showcase the pure fun and enthusiasm the presenters have for their sport. It’s infectious. They rival Hollywood level cinematography, and the joy these riders express is obvious to everyone watching. Well done guys, keep up the fantastic work.
Was looking forward to this vid all week. I watch the finals last weekend and when I saw Blake doing it. I wanted to see. Awesome job Samson! I'm jealous and I envy you for taking this on. I've yet to really jump a MTB @45. So SEND it
muchas felicidades por tu video y la forma que muestras como es el reconocimiento y clasificatoria por dentro de esta gran carrera urbana nos vemos el proximo año aca mismo. saludos desde chile.
It's insane how fast the riders are capable of going down this track. The POV from Blake was blazing fast to me, and to hear he still ended up at the back of the pack, well that's just insane. Great job Blake, you did aces honestly. That's an insane track.
I don't know how you do it but each time you do a video it's better than the one before the quality of the Productions of it is beyond anything I could have ever imagined on a TH-cam channel.
Would you take on an Urban downhill race like this? Let us know in the comments below 👇
was blake always bald? LMAO
No
Of course! On someone else's bike!
Regular DH is dangerous enough, Urban DH is way too dangerous and if it keeps growing it's only a matter of time before someone kills themselves
Maybe not quite like that... But I'd definitely race a tamer version
Very rarely comment but have to say - huge props to the editors, this was an incredibly cinematic video!
Thanks Alex
Yeah, thanks Alex
Totally agree Alex!
Yeah I agree, the production quality of your videos have definitely gone up! Awesome work guys!
The way they cut in the shots of race day crowds with the track walk really made the anticipation build and helped you feel Blake getting pumped up for the race. Really great work
I hear rampge calling you....
🤔
@@gmbn Blake has a family, let's leave Rampage for the full on crazy single people :)
Don't think just do :) , ok if not rampge, joy ride.... :D .
Yeah Blake, just send it.
do rampage! u can do it blake!
This Channel is quickly becoming an absolutely 1st class with true enthusiasm
well done Blake racing is not about winning unless your Neil and why didn't Neil race we all know he shreds hard he is really fast, also no one gives credit to the camera men and the people behind the scenes so I just want to say those guys do such a good job keep up the magnificent work
Thanks! 👍
I was out of breath after reading this comment
Blake got me feeling well nervous for him fare play. Great riding.
Imagine living there and having to ride you bike uphill all the way everyday. Wew.
Very emotional video. Well done Blake
AK983BNAIRSTE thanks dude 🙏
Get Neil to do urban downhill event
Neil's raced one in the past, but we'd love to make one into a video
If he dies - he dies
I think it's out of Neil's wheelhouse I feel like Blake is a big dog when it comes to downhill. I'd be nervous for him.
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 Neil is an ex DH world cup racer.
Ronald Tartaglia Bruh Neil was literally a DH racer.
10year old boi just sad : this isnt to bad.... xD
Have you seen Jackson goldstone ride... Kids like that will make for exiting racing in the future😂🤟🤟
Nah bro, he's a good rider
Pop culture and it's weird child fetishism these days smh.
That’s Jackson Goldstone... he is qualified to say that
That kid was literally made and born in one of the Oldest MTB Trails in the world, its Squamish, BC! Training grounds and home to many legends.
10:48 "I´m ready i´ve done a few good blunts" blaze it mate
Calms the nerves 😬
You'd definitely need to have a few blunts to get you ready
Blake is such a nice fella. Super talented. Good work gmbn. 🤘😀
Thanks dude 👍
Blake makes it so human, so close. One can really feel the adrenaline of not a racer, but just a human being facing the danger and the fun of a race like this. It is very inspiring for all of us, average riders who are just trying to improve our basic skills.
Wonderful video.
I think he touched the "snake"🤔🤣🤣
1:46 DOG EGGS!!! That is some shit i've never heard before...

@@Peanutdenver ive got plenty of free range dogs eggs all over my lawn. Theres even a few sun cooked omelettes
@@maxp.1636Love it!
Gotta wash the hands in fire after that ughhhhh
Hoy goosebumps watching that. Great work Blake.
Well done Blake for doing that, doesn't matter that you came last, at least you did it👍. I would of shut my eyes the whole way down and hoped for the best!
you have to love Blake. He's so honest with his feelings. It's like looking at an open book! More power Blakey!!!
I really enjoyed that. Great to see that even the pros are a little anxious and spend a lot of time preparing. 'Just send it like the pros' lands a lot of people in trouble. Thanks guys!
What a crazy event!! Well done Blake, did gmbn proud and made it to the bottom unscathed 😂. Congrats man
Awesome vid as usual, would love to see more of this kinda stuff
Thanks for the support Max, we love making this kid of video
This is incredible, amazing to watch and maximum respect to Blake for riding that course.....
This was awesome! Pretty cool to see the vulnerability from Blake. Watching him and the other riders at GMBN it's easy to see how much skill they have, but knowing they are still human is cool. haha Also makes you realize how intense these other downhill racers are! Thanks for another awesome video
I shit myself watching this. Unbelievably brave. Amazing. Well done Blake.
I enjoyed this more than I did the actual race! Really cool to see the riders working together to figure out the course.
Felt proud watching you, Blake. Great video!
Thanks Amanda
Amanda North aaaaaaaaah thanks Amanda
oh man!! I felt so nervous for Blake haha! You should come to dorst, The Netherlands, which is one the of the most technical parcourses in the Netherlands, and then let Neil and Blake race there and look who's faster on a super technical parcours with roots, tight turns and challenging hills everywhere in it!
Well done Blake. Great effort. Love all the GMBN vids 👌🏻
So much memories watching this video, I remember going home at 9 AM after a house party and found all the people waiting for the races. What a night. Saludos from Chile!!
Blake is truly an awesome person
"i did a lot of good blunt, en runs"😂😂
fantastic coverage, this dh format is fantastic, congratulations
That was fantastic. Great use of music too and good production values. One of the GMBN classics.
What a great video... I'm feeling in the race..
Incredible!!! Great vid, fantastic ending sequence. Gotta say, having seen a number of these urban dh vids over the years, i guess i'm quite numb to them - i get juiced on watching them, thinking "hell yeah, i'd love to try that!" but having someone like Blake walk the track, practice and finally run it, really gives you a lot more perspective and the whole thing a lot more impact.

Way to conquer a fear and make a dream come true and congrats on making it in the top 25.
One of the best videos GMBN has done. Great editing. It made me nervous for Blake. He smashed it as usual. Enjoyed the walk through first. Looks insane.
Huge 🤟 for Blake and huge 🤘for edit!!

You might have come in last place in the qualy, but you have the first place in our hearts. Thanks for the great show, was great seeing both of you at the event!
Wait, a kid is doing it?!
Alex Savvas yeah Jackson Goldstone
Jackson Goldstone is one of the top riders !...
MarioBP76 yeah he beat Blake and he’s 14 ahah
BROONY Da BEAST he does everything!..crank-works.. slope style..Free ride ..Downhill ..
MarioBP76 wasn’t saying Blake is bad saying how good Jackson is
I'm sat at home letting gmbn play while I get build drones and this comes up! Massive props to Blake and the crew. Not only is the filming top notch but Blake, man, massive! If you guys are ever over on the west coast US and ever need a racing or video drone pilot, hit me up, if I can't fly it I know people that can.
Mad respect 🙏😲
Top notch vid..watched this after Blake's "meet the presenter" vid......goosebumps man....goosebumps
Wicked vid dudes!! Well done Blake! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
HOLY CRAP BLAKE !!! That was so sick !!! You continue to amaze me my friend 🤘👍🥉

Such an emotional video - you may have been last Blake, but you more than get first for doing Valparaiso! Amazing. Truly inspirational
This become my new favourite video, awesome job!
Thanks! 🤟

Coolest presenter ever !
This is by far, the coolest mountain biking video I have ever seen. Massive well done to Blake!
Blake- "this is scary"
Jackson goldstone, 12 years old, voice hasnt even broken- "doesnt look to bad"
I laughed my arse off at that 😆
Great little film, seriously, great shots, great cut...everything is great. High quality project from GMBN, that's for sure.
Thai is a different type of vid. It’s very entertaining though!
Hope you enjoyed it Paticu
Sure did!
Thank you so much for this fantastic video! Great riding Blake! Very nice editing! More! MORE!
Get well soon Tomas Slavik !!!
Well done Blake. Great to watch, yes Neil should do a race. Great camera work, wish I had been there.
I don't do this but this is impressive
GMBN: You folks should submit this to a cinematic editing/outdoor sports award competition. Absolutely the BEST BY FAR you've done: editing; emotion; risk; storyline; etc. Reminds me of the "Free Solo" Nat Geo film.......equal quality.
Yey, Blakey can racie!
One the best GBMN videos so far. Nice work Blake and crew! Neil, you’re droppin’ next!
Awesome!!!!! Love Blake's Commentary while riding!!!
Nice work Blake-see these races all the time on youtube and kinda take it for granted what the downhill riders do until you actually see how big and technical the drops, obstacles and jumps really are-very impressed-you have balls of steel😀👊🤘!
El capitán Sampson con los grandes cojones!! - holy crap that course looks awesome and terrifying ... love the commentary "I've got practice in like 20 minutes ... there's no wall ride! ...Some guy stopped and said 'Ah no worries man, we'll build this tonight' ... tonight?

I was also playing 'spot the famous riders' throughout the video 😁
Superb Video.....all aspects, camera, editing, presenting and Blake proving he’s got it. Love it Guys
Massive props to you on that Blake. GMBN is getting better and better.
Apart from Blake who is always a joy to watch the editing of this is just superb, well done to all involved 👍
Massive credit to the editor, that has to be the best I’ve seen in a long time!! Captures the scene of the race and Blake’s experience of it. 🤙🏻
This is next level. Completing at the absolute top of the sport but keeping it so real and sharing your nerves and enthusiasm. Wow. Just Wow.
Awesome video! Blake, good job on completing the course with no issues. Def some gnarly jumps that take some balls to hit!
Guys, this video was awesome! Much respect to Blake and the production team. The music combined with the race, made a great finale! That shot of Blake holding the flag and the way he tells us how his dream came trough, was beautiful!
This was insane! Blake crushed it and the editing was amazing. Great video.
I was there, and been there several times. I've watched lots of videos... lots! and this one is probably the best video of Valparaiso Cerro Abajo out there man, amazing editing. very respectful with the local city which is a poor city, and its very easy to complain about everything, specialy for an european. congratulations. thank you!

Clean! The most exciting GMBN ever. Great job!!!
Gracias por visitar nuestro país!!!
Holy smokes that track is rad. I think my heart skipped several beats just from watching the footage. Kudos Maestro, that was freaking awesome.
Holy Crap such a great video!! I was seriously nervous for you at the start!
Well done Blake and GMBN! Got my emotions involved in this one!
Next level content by gmbn. Genuinely felt tense watching that, Blake is the man. Now to watch the race run 🤙
Great job Blake, looks super fun... so happy you shared this experience... ride on bro 🤟🏽😉👊🏽
Top effort Blake and great work GMBN team. That was fun to watch.
This is my fav. video from GMBN! Awesome guys seriously. Love to see Neil give it a go!

Everything about this video was just perfect. A lot of positive vibes and emotions coming from here. Everyone keep up the true work. 👏

That was aweasome, Blake!! Congrats on your first Valparaíso Cerro Abajo!
You did such an amazing run! The main goal of this race is cross the finish line in one piece! I really loved this video, greetings from Chile!
This was some of the best content I've seen on GMBN or GCN! Way to go!
I ve never seen a person so happy for finishing last, nice video guys!
Awesome editing guys. 1 of the best you've done :) Can't wait for more stuff from your trip to Chille. Cheers!
Absolutely amazing, balls of steel dude. Fantastic video, well done Blake
Dude, that enthusiasm when you yell you got last :D I love this nature of yours
You’re still the best Blake! Love your positive vibes you give us!
