- We've all got our favourite trails which we know like the back of our hand and can flow down with style and ease. Neil and Blake are in the forests of California with a few pointers on how you can achieve this on any trail🤘

The trick is to think of the trail as a series of sections and think about how you can link these sections together; open up corners, look for transitions, pump the trail, and consider your line choice into the next section.

Where are you going to go next to practice your flow?
Georgetown, where BKXC rode
Grapefruit trails florida
Somewhere here in Denmark. 👊
Dorst, in the Netherlands! Or Bakels Bos, near Helmond, sweet flow!
The pump track
Flow is literally the only MTB skill i have :D, cant do any tricks or jumps, so i concentrate on speed and smoothness (flow)
I'm in exactly the same boat. Maybe one day I can learn to soar in the air. 😓😅
Same here
If what your doing feels steezy, evolve from that. New things will never feel smooth right away. Everything takes getting used to right?
I learned jumps in the skatepark on a scooter and bmx, so bunnyhops where already in my tool box. On the trail, i really think its necessary to nail drops and jumps, cause at speed not seeing them coming takes a bit of sending!! Learn those local jumps, and make them steeeezy brother! Send her
Why is Neil always on a different Canyon bike every video and Blake in every video is always rocking it out on his Nukeproof Mega???
Lewis Bellamywells because the frames are cracking 😂
Maybe, but I thought Canyons were bloody good and they are the pinnacle of German engineering.
Lewis Bellamywells i dont know but you can read enough about cracked frames (road an mtb). But i think this is a small percentage from their sold bikes. Mostly you read bad thing but never good ones
for fun
“Closed due to wet conditions” Lol you brought the weather with you haha
i love the wide lens used for this "how to"🤩
awesome job as always guys! 🤙🏻
Thanks! 🤟
I would love to see a video on how trailbuilders create flow in their trails. How they build features and utilize natural topography to create a flow trail. Thanks
J. Lafleur same!!!
Love these technique videos with Neil and Blake. Love both these guys and they’ve taught me so much!
Love the energy y’all always bring to your vids keep up the hard work🚴♂️I’ve learned so much already👍
So good to hear Jackson! Thanks 👊
Neil, the master of flow (and Blake the master of airtime)
Yall videos are always better than American TH-camrs
😂
Of course
Very flowy video!
this video helped me heaps thank you so much!! I never really understood flow b4 this
Great video. Good to see the GMBN crew ripping my home trails. Braille is my favorite trail at Demo.
🤘👊
What a hard work you chose to live, guys! Great video, thank you!
Thanks Gian! 🤘👊
Great vid lads 🤟🤟
Smoooothnesss!!!
Never thought I would see Neil on a Torque. Amazing bike do it all bike.
But that's a Spectral!
this was really helpful. loved the comparisons between flow and no flow lines, even though both looked equally pro at first glance.
I love GMBN
🙌
Great video. It's great how you bring in several different pieces to the trail and show how to flow through each of them. Thanks! One question for the Sea Otter, have you tried the bike valet there?
👌top tips
I need to go to Santa Cruz...😍 Great work gentlemen!
Good to see you in NorCal. Demonstration Forest is one of my home places to ride. Blake, I see you did well in the cross country race at Sea Otter. Would love to see a video of what you do for conditioning for cross country riding.
Thanks for showing me how to ride my local trails! Sorry, you couldn't ride Flow, but it looks like you enjoyed Braille!
You guys NEED to come to Australia!!
Yesss
Dude what! I was just at demo last weekend
Great video people! I'm not getting the notifications constantly when you publish a new video, seems to work on other channels though. That's why I'm only now watching this.
bummer u boys missed put on the flow trail .. though Braille is da real deal... we are so stoked to have this so close to us in the Bay Aera
How are these only on 1 million subs, they deserve more
Considering mountain biking is a relatively small sport 1mil is pretty impressive
TheMeta6 has a point. And you don't deserve subs, you earn them by hard work.
Do a video on were to scrub and when to squash
Hey check this one out! 👉 gmbn.eu/scrubVsquash
There's really only 1 trail that we can use flow, it's off the mainland . Because I ride street a lot ( to go places), I can do flow better than the club members I went with. Ended up beating them by more than a minute. I'm normally one of the slowest on trails
Indeed! The Tao of MTB... 👽
I think you guys should come to croft trail in Swindon. Its my local trail 😂
Fun lines over fast lines
Fast is also fun :)
I don't know what to say. You're both right.
Hey Neil & Blake be careful of grizzly bears.😂😂🤣🤣😜😜
Grizzly bear 🐻 will eat both of you like cucumber 🥒🥒🥒🤣🤣😂😂.
It would eat Neil with one bite sorry Neil love you really
@@willbennett7107 yeah you are right👍👍
1:54 section, I absolutely recked my self on that tiny drop back when I was new, tried to tail whip for some reason and just threw myself off my bike into a pile of sticks
Ouch!
Im from Czech republic but im Understand lots of words but its funny look on this...
Stoked to have my 2017 Canyon Strive on the bike vault, fine with only a 'nice'...'She's', a bit pissed you didn't call her by her name,'Eva the Diva', but that's bikes for ya.
To be fair a couple of years ago she'd have got a supernice.....
Signed: Not Bitter.
Eva the Diva is a great name 🤣💅 Thanks for sending it in!
@@gmbn Her* ;)
Neil, how to do you feel ride with a waist pack?
Oh lordy, every time Neil says "Bomb Hole", that pom accent turns into "Bum Hole" for Aussies. I giggle every time he talks about going into bum holes :D
so how do Aussies pronounce it?.. Bam owl
let us know when you are coming back to Demo so we can ride it with you
giant trance 3 2019
I have the same bike
Can you do a video about how to get over the need to brake into every corner? I can find good lines, but I always throw on my brakes coming into every corner. Any tips?
A good tip is to try to do as much of your braking as you can early before the corner. You don't want to be braking in the corner as this can really mess up your balance.
Also a very good front tyre helps a lot with confidence, I recommend the Schwalbe Magic Mary in Soft.
Yeaaa boys is salti the bike Enduro what is for the cometid for the terren piedrgos and the trial jums boys are. Cya from the Santig of Chile 🇨🇱 🤣 💯 🚲💯📹🚲✌️😀
I've watched the DH Worldcup recently and in like 90% of the corners, riders kept their feet level instead of dropping their outside foot. Do you know why they don't do it that often? :)
Hope you can also use Hardtails on your videos aside from fullsus bikes. 😅
We like to use both, Blake has been loving his hardtail!
I guess what I really like to say is if you can frequent the use of Hardtails on your videos whenever possible. It really helps alot, in terms of motivation and providing us with useful skills and techniques when I see guys shred the trails on your HTs. From where I came from there are more guys like me who can only afford HTs over Fullsus rigs, that is why I was hoping to see you guys more on HTs. Love you guys, from PH. Mabuhay!!! 😅😅😅
when were you there? anyone know if its open now?
Hows it going
Hey!
Whats up with Neils fork? Normaly he runs an purple red one on his canyon. Now its grey looking.
These are the new Pike signature series forks. 👍
After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

Blake, r u running XT/ icetech single pot on that bike? I see hardly any bikes with this nowadays!!! why this set up?
I love the demo forest too bad flow was closed
Too bad I live almost on the opposite side of the world...
I fucking love brail. Its like 45 min from home
Who else looks for opinions and questions in this comment section?
What the bike I should buy for 550$ ?plz help me.
Lol I don't even do MTB lol still watched this video
if you like what you are seeing, maybe rent a mtb for a day, and see if you would enjoy it yourself!
@@just0bram811 I kinda have a MTB but it's not as good as this one right here.
@@roskichan3001 doesn't matter, you will learn the techniques better on a bad bike, and when you like it and buy a bike like in this video, it will be easy to ride it
@@roskichan3001 Oh I hate this kind of an attitude, you do not need a fancy bike or even a good bike to shred the trails and have fun!
@@th_js nah I just don't have balls to do it. Haha! I'm super scared doing those tricks.
How to flow - drop to a flat so hard your body will liquefy.
Damn...go away.
Qq👍🏻
69th
You guys came too my traails and didn't tell me Nani
Best way to flow on an mtb? Ride a trail with no climbs 😂
How all trails should be 😂😂
But that means flat and flat equals boring
When you hear a word so often you forget the meaning. Needs a "Flow" count ;)
Ride of My Life could be a good drinking game 🤪
4:33 well that didn’t age well
Drink every time they say "flow"
J
He salty for losing... Lol
You cannot practice flow ! Someday you have it..some you don´t !!!!
Great video, good tips as per usual but the music is awful!
