Nice one Tom, crazy it's been a year already🤯! The news has improved so much since you started doing it, it's cool to have all the best bits of MTB news in one place and you've smashed it this year on consistency. Keep up the good work 👊
A fathom is a unit used to measure water, and the Fathom looked like it was taken with the ocean in the background, where there's like a TON of fathoms. Just saying.
I needed this video in 2007. I was really focused on racing but the next tier of guys above me were almost all doping pretty hard, so I quit. I gave up MTB completely for a long time, could really have used some things to freshen up my experience.
Agree 100% with Rich’s tip on complementary sports. I also think what’s a complementary sport might not always be obvious. Stick with me on this one but I’ve found MTB and golf to be complementary - not on the fitness or skills side but on the mental side. Both require you to decide on what you’re going to do and then, and this is the important crossover bit, to fully commit. When you fully commit then you tend to be more successful and the mental skill to have the confidence to fully commit is the same in both sports, (even if there’s more a bit more at stake with MTB!).
I usually refer to myself as an "off road" rider... I've done DH & recently XC which keeps it interesting! A bit if urban riding & skate park shredding also keeps riding interesting too 👍🤟
I really enjoyed the show this week with your special guest. #captioncontest When Blake crashed his bike last week, poking his eye and tearing off his shorts, the GMBN crew saw that size does matter.
I would love to be bored biking......but all the trails up here been closed since Arwen,then there was another 2 storms, the treemaggeddon is shocking, now the snow😫 chance would be a fine thing.
I think in the Bike Vault, the guy who sent in the pic of his GIant Fathom had taken the picture by Water so as to reference FATHOMS. Sooooo.... Super Nice? LOL
The best way to keep MTB fresh to stick it in the fridge LOL as a Street rider I love my local spots there is a couple of massive stair caps which Still scare me because there’s no room for error and if I get them Wong a to trip to the hospital for sure every keeps it exciting when I do them and the best thing about Street riding when you get bored your local spots you can just go to a different city or town
Great dirt shed show this week, the new format feels so off script. Maybe Anna should join the guys next time, her and Martin talking about Cannondale would be good
Shit ..should come with a health warning this show...hehehe i spat my tea out at Richs Ashton dig ,you can talk to the other 9 Trials rider ...Comedy Gold Brilliant show ,loving new format with guests on couch
Would love some gmbn kit...if there was a 'de-badged' option... huge brand labels are so cha.. well lets just say not my thing. Do some with just a small subtle tyre logo...please! 🙏 Anyone who knows what gmbn is/means, knows the tyre logo, theres no need to be 'bling'. Less, is defo more, where prominent labels are concerned!
What do you do to keep MTB exciting? Let us know below!👇
Street riding! It is really fun and sparks the creativity! 😂 Also big jump flow trails!
challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone
#captioncontest Blakes minion didn’t notice the vinegar stroke was imminent!
#captioncontest Blake preps his copresenter for the “How to fix a sore butt video”
I ride dirt jumps and bmx to keep things from getting stale. Also, always be pushing myself to ride harder and steeper downhills and bigger features.

I absolutely love having my bike fresh, thanks for the tips! 👊🏼😎
Thanks for the support, Joel! Glad you enjoyed the vid! 👊
@@gmbn 👊🏼🤙🏼
Love the banter

Just saying.
Thank you!! I thought no one else noticed
*Emotional Damage*
when martyn told rich he's an average. Savage!
You just gotta love Hattie.
Hattie is a beast! But, dang it, 4:10, she said the "R" word! A concept beyond my comprehension.
Great to have Hattie on, looking forward to seeing her smash it this season. Hope GMBN's got loads of EWS coverage planned!
Martyn got involved in the van build and fitted cheese grips to the door handles #captioncontest
When Rich said he didn't want to sing the Hacks and bodges song solo. Made me think. Doesn't rich sing it solo when Neil is co-hosting the show?
Everyone sings solo when Neil's on
blake is my hardtail hero!!
GMBN 🔥🔥❤️ love from Philippines
Hey Edmund! Blake shreds a hardtail so well! Thanks for the support! 👊

the energy you get from these vids!
#CaptionContest - The memory of the Whistler 'Cheese grips' episode raised it's ugly head again.....

This show is so funny. These two guys 😂😂.
Thanks for the support, Patrick! Rich and Martyn are brilliant together. 😅
Seconded! So funny!
The shoe rack hack was great.
Caption for Blake's picture: Baby Ruth? love ya Blake!
Thanks for the tips guys 😁
#captioncontest When Blake forgot to install his new bike seat to the satisfying grin of close friends. Cheers from Colorado
the three legged stool that is MTB: Fitness (workouts) + Riding (pedaling) + sessioning (skills) = Mountain Biking is Cool
If I'm not riding I'm running Remote Control hobby stuff. Great vid guys keep it up!
19:28 😂 are you sure you trust me after the chicken incident.... Pmsl 😂😂😂🤣🤣
#captioncontest when your getting the bill back from getting the bike fixed.
You missed the theme with the Giant Fathom. A fathom is a measurement of water, (1 fathom = 6 feet), and he placed his bike on a pier over the water.
Ay thanks you understood, they also cropped out the original photo which looked wayy better than cropped
I think in the Bike Vault, the guy who sent in the pic of his GIant Fathom had taken the picture by Water so as to reference FATHOMS. Sooooo.... Super Nice? LOL
13:15 Chicken trials! They are following in Martyn's tracks!
Caption Contest - Blakes welding face explains why he welds everything wonky
Chicken coop FTW! Way to go Hattie! ... and early welcome to California!
I do it for the company.
Hacks and Bodges song should be mandatory.
excellent to see another trail duck on the bars in the fails :D

That loam was the best hit yet!

Yes my lady! #captioncontest

#captioncontest When Martin connects up the batteries but Blake hasnt finished the wiring!
I've only got one question. Was Riches microphone even turned on?
Backup mic 🎤 in action 🤣
Until I get the skills that Reece Wallace have shown in his Glory Daze video, I will never be bored. 🤣
#Captioncontest “sushi is great on recovery days - not so much on ride days.”
#captioncontest when your friend connects the battery but you are still holding the wires
It would of been more impressive if the shoe rack was a radiator as well 🤔
Agreed! It was a good idea. It couldn't quite beat the chickens though! 😅
GMBN, you can't beat chickens!
Now if its was cockerals......
#captioncontest The face you pull when you get your tool caught in the door
you two are hilarious!
#CaptionContest looks like the beans and bacon for breakfast are working at the Blake Builds day.
I figured Martin the Vegan would love the chicken one.
#CaptionContest - “Eh Blake, whaddya figure…. Taco’s again tonight?”
#CAPTIONCONTEST - Blake builds cheese grips into his van.
#Captioncontest “beans”
#Captioncontest "Blake, what happened?" "I accidentally gave myself 600 volts" "shocking"
#captioncontest Look Blake, I tested out the toilet for your van!
Great dirt shed show this week, the new format feels so off script. Maybe Anna should join the guys next time, her and Martin talking about Cannondale would be good

Is Rich’s mic off? Gmbn is great but audio is often an issue with presenters mic’s being off for location shoots and in the dirt shed.
It's been dry here, otherwise I would have done my Giant Reign in the rain.

#captioncontest Blake got the wrong kind of double drop
Would love some gmbn kit...if there was a 'de-badged' option... huge brand labels are so cha.. well lets just say not my thing.

#Captioncontest Quick, someone get Blake a cup of tea STAT.
#Caption contest: I'm not rewelding that frame again, nope, can't do it!
Caption contest: When the silent but deadly is anything but silent!
Keep mtb fresh....do road riding...great fitness and u appreciate mtb more when u do it then...mtb is like the w/e treat.
#captioncontest 7 months after storing them in a box - Blake smells just 1 more reason not use cheese based tyre inserts.
