I have learned so much from this man i just appreciate it so much i wouldn't have ever considered taking my bike completely apart till i stumbled upon Doddy so thanks bro
Watching Tread in early 94’ gave me massive goosebumps. The first time I saw my sport filmed so brilliantly, it was epic. Great video Doddy. Pop over one day and come see my collection
Was able to see some of those videos as a youngster. And is why I still have a softspot for GT. I still have my old avalanche, this makes me want to build it up again😊
Great to see you back in videos. The way you communicate with the viewer is fantastic. I have an idea for a video also. British bike brands that people may not have heard of, like Whyte, Vitus, Bird. Even Saracen which are well known but many don't know, is made in the UK. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for such a cool knowledge drop, Doddy! Life Cycles is so absolutely incredible I own a physical copy of it. Can't wait to watch Tread and get inspired to go shred on my Proflex.
Where did you go doddy ... I missed you ... Your so much better on your own channel . That high pitched voice that replaced you at your old job I'd not the best at the job 😢 Legendary effort on your new channel . I've subscribed and dump the gmbc net work Thumbs up mate
I moved from bmx to mtb in 84, some of this stuff I've never even seen before. The rest is amazing to be reminded of and hear the back stories. No idea what dead end of my brain stores these magazine features for instant recall once I see them. Love it!
DODDIIIIIIIIIE my man 😀🙌🏾. Never would i've thought I would see this great guy again. Finaly having your own youtube show 👍🏾. If some one knows a thing or two about mountainbikes, Doddy is that Man. Great to see you back.
Great vid. Really happy to see your encyclopediac knowledge back on the Tube. The old channel ain’t what it was 😅. Looking forward to the next installment
As many are saying. I was heart broken when you stopped coming in on that other channel. This made my morning, as a now older guy I wasn’t there in the ultra early days. But about 2000 I came in and well that was a quarter century ago now. And it’s fun to get a far more in depth view on stuff that was just out of this world in the shop back then, and now where near the coverage media wise that the stuff available now gets. Keep the content coming!
Doddy!!!!!! Im so so glad ur back doing tech ! I hope to see it more! GMBN Tech sadly went down the drain after you left :( I hope to see the same supremly superb quality of information as before! Ive missed your MTB wisdom
Congrats Doddy on your chanel you got a faithful folower love the video cheers from the edge of the 1st World and the 3rd worl, Tijuana, Baja California México!
Sooooo good to se you on your channel. You are the ONLY really reliable source to MTB technology and history. Deeply appreciated 🤗🤗🤗 Greetings from an old school XC rider (still on Bontrager OR bike with XT 737 stuff and Marzocchi z1 with 1” steerer😂
Good to see ya back talking bikes on TH-cam Doddy! Honestly, GMBN is feeling just like a content mill now, with so many repeat themes over and over again that I’m looking for other options for bike channels/vids. Always enjoyed when you’d be on that channel.
Yes! Love everything about your channel! Really brings back all these memories from my teenage years. I still have my milk levers. Amazing levers still.
Doddy for the win 🥇 , it’s so good to see and hear the stories from back in the day, been Riding Atb and Mtb’s for 33 years and counting 😊 bikes = life . Great job , should do some longer videos dig deeper into this thing we love ❤️
awesome stuff doddy, good to see you chatting about MTBs from the workshop again, great storytelling, Hans no way Ray! what a dude! those moab sections on a clunker must have been mad :)
I so remember that "Fast is corporate policy" campaign...I used to race Zaskar's back then and shortly after jumped on the i-Drive bandwagon. Even the i-Drive campaigns were great! Andrew is a gem...love that human!
I love the story-telling about the origins of MTBing. I got my first Cannondale in 1993, switched to GT in 96 for a few bikes,,,thanks Allspeed!. Still have an Intense Uzzi SL from 96. YaY! Doddy's back!!!!
Another great vid buddy!! Going back to Tread reminds me of my favorite vid around that time Pulp Traction - it was the first time I'd seen any riding like the stuff Tippie and the crew were doing and is always a good watch.
Back in the day when the North Shore freeriding scene was taking off Canondale tried to license the term Freeriding. Rocky Mountain bike just called their group the Fro Riders and Bret T / Ritchey S and Wayde Simmons made it go to a whole new level.
I'll have to look it up! Glad you like the format, it was based literally on the sort of pub chat I have. Think there's probably a lot more content that could follow like this.
I remember clearly, being at a DH race in Puddletown forest in the UK when I was a kid and seeing a Disk Drive in action the first time. It was Dave Hemming on a Kona Hei Hei, and you could hear the rumble coming before he came in to sight, flat out. Was a mixture of kicking a dustbin down the road and something that was unnecessarily loud and cool. I wanted one that second, but could never afford it!
@@DoddyMTBtech yes!!! An older friend of mine as a kid rode a GT RTS with 1 fitted, even on tarmac you could hear that thing rolling, everything seemed to echo through those carbon discs at full volume!!
This video brings up so many memories for me. I started getting into mountain biking in the late 90s as a (broke) preteen. My friend had a copy of Tread of VHS and that is what really got me I to mountain biking. To this day almost 25 years later I’m still a Han Rey fan and dream of taking a road trip like they did with my son when he’s a bit older. The US magazine Mountain Bike Action did a great article on Hans a few months ago that’s worth the read. I still quote the “fast… it’s corporate policy” line all the time (especially after I became a paramedic). Right up until about 5 years ago I still had the GT pint class with slogan on it. The late 90s/early 2000s was such a great time to be in the sport. The Volvo/Cannondale team was my “home” team since I live 3hrs from the factory (even got to visit when I was around 14yrs old). Missy, Ann Caroline, Cadel, Tinker, Brian - the team was stacked! Thanks for such a great vid! Please make this a whole series!
Wow, I just love this type of stories. It‘s like reading an extensive editorial in a good old bike magazine. A few days ago, I had a conversation with a colleague about some old Kleins and he was impressed with my „encyclopaedic“ knowledge but compared to you, I know nothing. I suggest „who really mad it“ as a topic. Things like who really made this tires are fascinating.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Not really sure how my brain works, but I definitely have a strange memory for bike stuff. When I used to work in bike shops, I could used to remember Shimano things - for example - by part numbers and EPOS codes. I'm not wired normally, for sure! I like the idea of who made it, as there are loads of crossovers between brands, designers and manufacturers...
Great video, he’ll of a history lesson and invoking of memories. I had an RTS when it first came out. Brochure had Juliana Furtado when she won the DH world championships title out of nowhere. The bike actually worked when many other designs were just complete crap
Yay, Doddy is back talking MTB tech. Praise the MTB gods 🤟
Doddy is back! Hell yea!
Holy smokes! Doddy has his own channel? Uh, yes please. Hey Doddy, great job, as always, and thanks for sharing your stories and expertise.
We're all waiting for Blake now
LOL😁@@janeblogs324
Immediately subscribed the moment I discovered Doddy's Channel
Same
Doddy! Yes! The Legend has returned.
This is what I miss!!!! Doddy nerding out on retro MTB tech and companies 🙏🏻😎
I’m stoked to get to watch and learn from Doddy again!!!
Doddy always needed his own channel❤
What a trip down memory lane!
Doddy, mate- you are an MTB encyclopedia. Loving the new channel. Best of luck at Mondraker, too.
❤ love the shirt!! 👌👌👌
Great video Doddy! More please and yes please do make the documentary 😊
Great video, still riding my GT Zaskar, I've still got my milk leavers, 🤘
Cheers Doddy!
The 80's & 90's was such a pioneering era for mtbing, so many weird and wonderful parts and designs. It sure was great to be a part of.
I laughed when you said how terrible farmer John's tyres were, yet I can remember just how bad I wanted them as a 14 year old! 😂
I have learned so much from this man i just appreciate it so much i wouldn't have ever considered taking my bike completely apart till i stumbled upon Doddy so thanks bro
Great video Doddy. Awesome.
Watching Tread in early 94’ gave me massive goosebumps. The first time I saw my sport filmed so brilliantly, it was epic. Great video Doddy. Pop over one day and come see my collection
Glad to see you back doing this kind of content again. Subscribed and looking forward to the next installments.
These stories and information are awesome! 😎👍💯

Was able to see some of those videos as a youngster. And is why I still have a softspot for GT. I still have my old avalanche, this makes me want to build it up again😊
Dodd we have missed you! Great content!
Doddy. Just found your videos and subscribed. Am now one happy camper again!
Yay Doddy’s back, I’ve missed this content, great insight, and much much more please.
Great to see you back in videos. The way you communicate with the viewer is fantastic.
I have an idea for a video also.
British bike brands that people may not have heard of, like Whyte, Vitus, Bird. Even Saracen which are well known but many don't know, is made in the UK.
Keep up the good work!
Nice one Dodd! Keeps these vids coming!

Great work,
YES!! Doddy is back. never knew you had a youtube channel
Just some casual fun! I'm making content for Mondraker - you should check it out as they're making some really cool stuff!
I moved from bmx to mtb in 84, some of this stuff I've never even seen before. The rest is amazing to be reminded of and hear the back stories. No idea what dead end of my brain stores these magazine features for instant recall once I see them. Love it!

Nice one Doddy, keep them coming.
Reminds me of the TV show from the 90’s on TLC called “Connections”. Keep them coming!
Love this. So hard to find history on mtb. Cool video
Love the channel! Looking forward to future content.
Glad to see you with your own channel, you are one of my favorite people in the world
Great vid. Really happy to see your encyclopediac knowledge back on the Tube. The old channel ain’t what it was 😅. Looking forward to the next installment
I'm happy for your new channel. This video is so nice MTB archive for the ones that started MTB before the 90s is pure gold.
Very good video!
Thanks Doddy, great interesting content
It seems I sub your channel at about 2110 th to 2120 th.
Welcome back Doddy!
it's so good to see you back telling stories Doddy!
Nice one Doddy. Unrivalled passion and knowledge as usual.
Looking at those classic mtbs got me thinking of rebuilding my old very old araya mtb...

Farmer John's tyres. Blimey, I'd forgotten all about those (luckily 😂).
Doddy you make me feel old hahaha, great memories, cheers
awesome stuff doddy, good to see you chatting about MTBs from the workshop again, great storytelling, Hans no way Ray! what a dude! those moab sections on a clunker must have been mad :)
GT' fast campaign was spot on. Every time a new one printed, people would talk about it everywhere you went!
Yeah it was so great!
Nice one Doddy. Dead good. Please keep them coming now.
I'm sure it was Brian lobes on the amp? Could be wrong though haha awesome video buddy
Say What ?? Love the T-shirt !
it's from Defected Records 👍
I so remember that "Fast is corporate policy" campaign...I used to race Zaskar's back then and shortly after jumped on the i-Drive bandwagon. Even the i-Drive campaigns were great! Andrew is a gem...love that human!

I'm genuine happy finding your channel. Hope to see you on a regular-ish base :)
I had a Speedball dropper for over a decade. It changed my riding beyond recognition. Best upgrade ever, after front suspension.
Really looking forward to more content on your channel Doddy. Miss you over on the Tech channel.
One of my favorite shows as a teen was connections with James Burke, this video is so reminiscent of that Doddy you genius! This is an awesome format
I'll have to look it up! Glad you like the format, it was based literally on the sort of pub chat I have. Think there's probably a lot more content that could follow like this.
Those disc drive wheels, you could hear them coming from the top of the hill!!! 🤣

Doddy... Do more... Very interesting..
Quality content.
Fantastic video, so interesting. Thanks for your hard work. Lay off the beer, we need all your memory cells lol.
Finally I was craving a video from you doddy
Onza Smoke and Dart!
