- In the Blake Builds GMBN series, Blake Samson built a do-it-all hardtail mountain bike frame in his garage from scratch! The bike's first ride on dirt just had to be an epic bike-packing ride, but this time we wanted to be a little more adventurous. This time had to be a local Enduro race!

100% need to build a full sus now Blake, name it the Lobster :D
Or if the welds are bad, the Kraken
😂the lobster. Like it!! Deal!!!
@@BlakeSamson8 Yes! I can't wait!
@@brettjohnson9453 My first mtb bike was a Carrera Kraken lol....
@@BlakeSamson8 please share build plans, I am going to give it a try myself
Blake you are an inspiration. You're gift to the Mountain Biking community. Cheers mate.
You're a serious MTBer when you have welder in the tool box
Lmfao seriously off his head trustin them welds🤯 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣 most welders wouldnt trust ther own welds like that
😂😂😂😂
@@rabc5959 Yup, and I'm one of them.
Imagine having a full blow TIG setup and a 7075 3D printer on your van 💀💎
The crab fan here. Been waiting for every ride of it. Pretty neat in the trails.🎉🎉🎉
Thanks GMBN Team for keeping us entertained. I'm a long time follower and this is one of my favorite channels. PLEASE don't change a thing !
Hell yer for the full suspension. Never doubt a Blake build 🤘
It was great to meet you, Blake, top guy 🤟
It's insane that you didn't fly off the bike while you were concerned for the crab the whole time, not to mention that you kept up with other riders using your fairly jank bike XD. Amazing job and i'm glad to see that you're in one piece! Try to find a jig to keep the hub's holes aligned next time and keep an eye out if you do build a full suspension bike.
very impressive, I've done enough welding to know that wasn't as easy as people may think. loving the patina that the Crab is acquiring, needs a little more before clearcoating it to lock that in nicely.. Definitely make a full sus bike, I'll look forward to that.
Love your style, Blake. Making riding fun, first and foremost.
Can we just appreciate that Blake high sided earlier in the week, smacked a tree with the same shoulder and still raced "The Crab" and finished in the top 30% of the racers. The guy is an absolute legend. I say yes to a full suspension bike Blake but really set up your jigs well for alignment and practice your welding. A Blake's Builds dual suspension is just what we need, you can try it out against Neil's budget down hill bike and compare how it rides. Actually it would be interesting to compare it with Rich's XC bike too. Martyn could set the challenges, Doddy and Anna can talk about your tech on the bike, it could be fun for everyone.
Love this bike
Racing on the Frankenbike, ohhh,..a bit anxious and nerves.....I love it!!
you are a winner anyway, best in HT-Cat, best over 30 on a HT, Best on a build your own HT, best GMBN Presenter on a build your own HT ...........
Son of a gun, you really went with the idea. We finally get to see The Krab ride Blake in a race. 😆
Btw, I think the crab needs some clear paint and rust inhibitor.
in rust we trust!
Nah, just give it a forced patina and wipe it with tough cloth after every wash. That’s what I do on my custom hardtail that I made out of spring steel.
Wow Blake is pretty insane to race in home made bike..But that is what he is capable of done. Race with whatever ride he is in. Lol Awesome mate!!!!!!!
you are my hero blake samson, the reason I love hardtail.
Awesome Riding Blake,The Crab Certainly Did You Proud.Look Forward To Your Full Suspension Build Dude!!
Goes too show you dont need a super expensive bike too have a good time riding or racing. 👍
100% for the full suspension bike
10:18, knew there would be a clip of Leon somewhere. He’s one fast bloke
Proper trooper 👌 👏
I don't care much to see a full suspension built, but I would like to see the Crab Mk II. Modifications to the geometry, maybe improvements to the welding skills?
Thanks for another fantastic video Blake........GMBN is so inspiring
Yes! Congrats, Blake! Please build a full suspension bike! Use a protractor to get the right angles for it.
Hell yes build a full suss. Well done mate for this one.
Well done my brother! Congrats on building a beast.
Hey Blake, you need to get that frame rust proofed.
Great vid👍
Cant wait for the full suspension build! Might try to make one too! 😂
A full sus would be amazing I reckon a 160 enduro bike would be wicked
Your home made bike is a testament to your welding both you and the bike did well I can't wait to see what you built next 👌🏾💯
Yes, Blake. Of course we want to see you build a full suspension bike.
Yes build it!
Felt sick almost as much as Blake watching that.....
Well done
This is brilliant to watch. I stumbled across the initial videos on this bike right at the point i was starting a similar project in my own garage. I finished mine last May and sadly have not done a huge amount with it. Bits and pieces and local runs but nothing like this video, but it was the realisation of a lifelong dream to do it. I recommend it to anyone who loves bikes and loves tinkering. 👍
Please!! Yes please!!! Build a full squish!
YESSSS, go build a fully Blake 😃👍🏾🎊
best bike name ever Blake, your feckin' awesome dude
Amazing !!! Great video and creative
The CRAB is AMAZING ❤ WOULD LOVE to see you build a full suspension bike that would be epic ❤
Build again Blake. But please get a jig first. I think the viewers were just as concerned and very glad you and the Crab got through it!!! Awesome!!!
Build it ..I love the crab built video...I learned something...
Just ride like a champ, Blake your steel frame and head are amazing, hardtails doesn't allow you to sit same as the full suspension which mean you did double the work of any of other racers, can't wait to see you building a full suspension I think you will start a huge DIY mtb community
Build it! Build it! Build it! Yay!
Keep being amazing … you are awesome
AWESOME Blake so stoked for you that you rode the Krab in a mini enduro 👊🤘
Great video #GMBN crew 🤘
Wonna See you riding the Mega Evalance it would be so funny to watch😮😂
0:41 it's just the blake style 😂
I vote yes! Love the Blake-builds-bikes series!
The "Crab" did great!! And, heck yes. You should build a dual suspension.
Rock on Blake!!!
Imagine being involved in that race, looking at the results list and realising you weren't that far off Blake Samson and feeling great about yourself. Then this video drops and you realise, while you were on an enduro superbike, he was riding a hardtail he built in his garage with no prior experience that is also notorious for not even being able to ride in a straight line!!!
Heck yea !!!! would love to see a Full Sus built !!!! Do it....
Blake is the man!
Build it! Build it! Build it!!!
GO FOR IT..
True Legend Blake
Love it Blake, you should hang up the bike in the shape after the race at the room for Dirt Shed Show for display as a monument over "Professor Blake". The man with all the crazy and weird ideas. Can just say again, this was really nice, interesting and funny.
Well done Blake 👏
Great video thanks Blake and GMBN
Your a beast Blake. Whar a legend.
Great work Blake! Both on the bike and your ride. Man, I'm so happy to see it hold up the way it did. I think you should totally do a dual sus.
Keep it up Gmbn
Build it Blake! 😁
Yes full suspension build ….🎉
Build a full suspension!! That would be sick!
That’s sick
It takes a brave man to ride on welds like that!
Maybe paint crab before its next appearance :)
Well done Sir! A hell of an accomplishment! I would definitely like to see you build a full suspension bike now.
Truth be told....on the step down stage I really did expect to see you crash hard after the front end came apart 😂
Nice job!
Build the full sus Blake, build it! Love your Blake Builds projects 😊
We need to see Blake build a full suspension in his garage!
Blake Builds is the only part of GMBN i find entertaining.
Please make a full suspension bike, and practive welding a bit more for better penetration and nicer welds that flow a bit more, they look a bit cold. :)
Love your energy!
YES FS build please!!
hell yeah we wanna see you build another bike!
Get building Blake 👍
Wow Blake absolutely EPIC when I seen the title I had to watch in the view of something was going to snap but amazing epic build of the hardtail
Do it Blake! Build a full squash! Give us all hope that we can build the bike of our dreams!
Yes, full suspension would be awesome!
This is great, I’m gonna change the head tube angle now , 63.5 but then oh I like 64 actually cut weld. Pretty awesome makes me want to build my own chrome moly frame.
Awesome video Blake! Bike did great. 👍You should absolutely build a full suspension! Love the van build also. Keep up the good work. 😜
😅you are indeed a bike builder welldone! yeah love to see you build a fullsus next time😆🤘🏻
👍 Build the BLULLY & they will come ‼️
Yes! Build a fully now
Maybe show the crab some colour??? Luv to see you paint it!
Next up: the birth of Samson Cycles. Well done,Blake! Deakinator approved!
Running hot way to go blake!!
Steel doesnt crack, it bends! That is the safest material to do your own bike frame.
Would love to see Blake build a 27.5 or even 29 inch version of a Big Dummy.
BUILD IT!!!!!
Great video 😃 videos like this are always fun to watch 😃😃 pink color on the bike maybe 😎😎
Wooo GG ! I would definitely let a pro welder redo the junctions because u did a great job building it already
Absolutely 1000% need to build a Full Sus!
Yes to FS!
Nice blake!
good effort
I agree you should do full suspension
Your awesome! Great riding! Try to build a FS!
Definitely need to build a full sus. I built one, designing it in linkage software and its amazing. I would be looking forward to see you build one.
Blake you legend! 🤣🤙
blake samson the hard jejeje,cheers friend
