Do you have any local events planned for this summer? Let us know
Just did the Paris to Ancaster race close to 3000 riders in it. Big race here in Ontario Canada. My first time raced the 40 km on a fatbike it was awesome!!!! :)
@@shaunroach7829 Sounds RAD! 🤘
To and from job :B
You guys should go to bracknell (swinley forest) its a mtb trail
You should come to Sweden and ride my local mountainbike trails on Ryssberget.
Good job Blake. I too live on the IW and rode the 7 Hills this year, 5 months after a heart transplant and finished under 3hrs, well chuffed 😊
Great advert for the island's trails 👍🏻
You cant beat blake. You just cant. nice video 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Syncr true
Thanks Syncr 🤘👊
Totally agree. I'm not even much interested in mountain biking but I'll always watch a GMBN video if it looks like the correct title is "Blake has fun on his bike". They never disappoint.
Recently bought a new bike after 8 years of not riding due to having children which took priority in my life. Now they’re older and I’ve found GMBN, the videos are very helpful and more importantly help to get me enthused to get out there and nail some trails. Thanks guys, keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Thanks for featuring more XC this year. GMBN gets better all the time! ;)
Got me front wheel on GMBN 😁.Glad you found the last climb hard Blake,it nearly finished me off 🤣
Yes we want to see you doing more races and epic rides.🤙
Looked like a fun event, nice video. But bit disappointed that you didn't pop a massive wheelie going into the final checkpoint!
Blake ,keep up the awesome cross country videos coming.
Can not get enough of these big ride vids. Also, Blake is a great presenter, such a great guy 🤘🏻
Blake you're an inspiration to thousands of us..god bless ya brotha
Have a great weekend #GMBN
hittin up demo at Santa Cruz today!!
Looks like so much fun!
Nice race, nice views and nice background music; thanks for share it !!!
Another great video. Looked like a great event!
This is one of those videos that motivate you to go on a ride RIGHT NOW... Cross-Country is sooooo cool!
That ride looks so good!
beautiful mate, loved the video, thank you!
Well done Blake that looked like a great event with great views , clean air and a lot of mates awesome video 👏👏👏
Great video Blake, really enjoyed it. I'm always inspired to get out and ride my horsethief after watching you ride. Definitely, want to see Blake in an XC race.
Looks amazing!
Blake makes everything fun to watch
True. Nice dude!
Looks like a really fun day. Glad you had a good time bud.
It feels really weird watching my favorite TH-cam channel riding through all my favorite places of the Island, im so lucky to live in the same area as blake, hope to meet you at chevy agaon soon
I watch these videos before I ride to got me pumped up
Great video as you'd expect with Blake. We did a lot of this route on gravel bikes, including the pump track at the bike park, it was bloody amazing. Highly recommend a day on the Island. We did bump in to Blake at the bike park. Thanks for being super cool Blake in real life as well as on screen...
Omg, this was 👍 great. Keep showing things like this. I get to see places I won’t be able to visit and I get pumped up to go out and ride. 😊🚴🏽♂️
I come to you because you give me the best advice on mtb
Good one Blake all winners in that event.
Yes lycra full on cc race! I´d love it
Awesome vid
Steep, tricky, technical ascent at 9:15 but still holding on to that homemade flapjack as if your life depended on it lol.
Nice to see you doing a bit of xc Blake 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm moving to the Isle of Wight. Man that place is Sick for riding. Nice one Blake, keep them coming.
Whoop! Wight stuff baby!
Blake we met you at the park last weekend, the crazy group of gravel bikes from Poole. Looks like we rode pretty much the same route as you
good luck for you sea otter xc race Bake !!
Blake awe bru you have convinced a surfer to start slating trails bru have no clue about bikes but my mate an I are going hard. God bless you bru and have a lekker one maybe one day we will see you on the flip side
Awesome..
Love you videos so much!
🙌
💕
Vlogs on GMBN are sick!
Cheers dude! 🤘
I really hope they do this event next year. I'm there if they do!
Blake has to be one of the most likeable presenters anywhere - great video! Thanks GMBN - even here in the States you guys rule.
Thanks for the awesome feedback Ben! 🤘👊
Beautiful vidéo 👍🏼
NO WAY I SAW YOU GUYS, i watch you everyday i had no idea you were here!
Fantastic content. I love me a gmbn feature.
Isle of Wight looks fantatsic, might check it out this summer, I've never been. it's only a short ferry ride from home of Dorset
Wouldike to give this a go on my nukeproof scout. Looks like great craic. Great vid Blake!
I would imagine this was a walk in the park compared to your epic South American races! Fun video 😊 thanks!
Nice......it's nice 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Well done, Blake. I love the show. I specially want to thank you for posting a XCM video. That's my discipline, what I practice and like. It looked very appealing to try out and participate one day.
So, please, besides all good stuff keep XCM always present!
Come ride in Brazil with us one day!
Cheers. Elias
U gotta visit the local bike shop. The people, the rides, the knowledge. It's a must
Ayyye good job
You were pretty fast there Blake!
Great vid Blake. You or one of you guys should come do The Wild Boar Chase next Sunday (12 May) in the Forest of Dean. All for Charity. Longest route 44 miles!
Mark Collingwood @gmbn
Super Nice
Great stuff Blake #GMBN
That ride is now on my list for next year.
And a visit to Isle of Wight bike part this year I reckon.
👊🤙
Epic
Grip shift???!?!!!! Whoooaaa
jamble7k it can’t be because he said it was a xc hardtail and on the tube it says that it’s a exceed cf
Yes it was.......
@@thomasli2261 The Exceed he's riding comes with the SRAM XX1 Eagle gripshift!
nice grip shifter :D
Need to know when this is next year! So I can travel from the US!
Nice Video:) can you do a video about how to choose the right saddle soon?:)
Great xc race Blake, you have been fast! I see that you have enjoy your ride and it’s really cool! 😉🤙 Seeeeee ya’ 😀
Super Awesome..... BUT did the E-Bikes make it? LOL. Thanks for the adventure!!
wow all that green, amazing. you need to reconsider technical climb though
nice race! kinda open the gates simulator 2019
Nice video and I spy a twist shifter but a high end one
2:03 that person in front off Blake might want to consider raising their saddle about an inch
11:40 Is that a compression adjustment i see?
Very nice video. I don't really like the competitive vibe some xc events have got and this vid hasn't got any of that. It feels like an amazing friendly group ride. Well done, Blake. I wanna ride my bike like NOW!!! :-)
I agree with you. This type of challenge-like, not so cut-throat environment allows us to have great fun.
Yeah do a full lycra XC race!
Did I just here a top freerider say I am doing a cross country race at sea otter.
7:59 Totally sounds like you have an engine, there. Very suspicious coming right after you said you were going to use the tarmac road to recover some energy!😀
beeble2003 with the twist grip and shifters twist grip =hidden throttle
Grip shift wow
*HOOOOOOOOO*
Blake you need your own personal show as well
I managed to take a shot of him coming through the gate at the bottom of hill 2 (Mottistone)
Hodgson dudes are good dudes. :D
Blake: It's not a race it's a ride out.... The last time I did this race 😁
Best RACE
Wanna see what you did at Sea Otter.... In lycra... 😉
Awesome ride! Can we get Neil and Blake to do a XC race together?
I live on the iow.......I’m a lucky boy!!!!!
Blake Samson it the best
This kind of reminds me of the city allycat races
Next time give er a shot on the dirt jumper or slope style, maybe slap on a dropper for some comfort!👌🏼
Comfort? This looks tame, would be more fun on a gravel bike 😋
Steve Co on a dirt jumper standing up the whole time you’d want to be able to sit down and pedal comfortably.
Ah, I don't have a clue about dirt jump bikes!
@@gavinthenav6594 Group of us did most of this on a Gravel Bike group ride but on a Dirt Jumper? My legs are hurting just thinking about it :D
gmbn can you make 26er video challenge love to see back
Any drop bar bikes there? Definitely a couple gnarly bits, but curious if anybody was brave (or silly) enough to give it a whirl on a skinny (-er) tire bike.
The year I didn't do it! Doh!
C'mon Blake get aero on that XC!!
great video, basically an offroad shorter distance audax?
Nice 😂
in the market for new mtb glasses, Blakes look the business in this video, what are they?!
Neil and Blake should do a proper xc race together.
Ok, was just about to ask if you used just the GoPro Hero 7 or if you also used a gimbal chestmounted. Got the answer at 7:38...:)
Oh no! He wears his glasses under the helmet straps
Road fashion police: Over the strap
MTB fashion police: Under the strap
Your country side looks kinda boring in comparison to our Cross Country Races in Romania . You should come and race here ! :)
1080th
I can imagine Blake waking up in the morning to pee... "Nice"
Race urban downhill on your Nukeproof Scout!
Which Garmin are you running there?
Can’t support lbs. they don’t sell anything I need. They only sell the cheapest of gear. Not saying you need £300 pedals but something better than plastic would be nice. On line shopping for me.
Love the IOW great vid as always
Retro Dude, On an old Mountain bike. Blake was riding a canyon so much for supporting your lbs. canyons are great value though 🤔
