Watch Martyn Ashton, "Road Bike party" That Greville is way more capable. The question might be better asked as, "Do you think a gravel biker could do this?" What Blake does in this video is something that only a handful of bikers would be bold enough and skilled enough to pull off.
Hahaha! very funny David Attenborough commentary...Now that is a real comedy. I love gravel bikes, it is something between a cross country mountain bike and a road bike. Groovy too.
I put 27.5 wheels on my single speed trek Crockett to commute and slay trails. Recently put a fox ax shock to fit a little more rubber! The thing is a monster. Great average speed for commuting and absolutely tears through trails usually faster than I’m comfortable going hahahaha. Amazing replacement for the hard tail I was riding for years. Never had so much fun
Not sure what was more impressive, Blake's skill and ability on the trail, the film and editing team's work, the scriptwriter or the Attenborough impersonator... All round Brilliant!
Definitely the Attenborough impersonator. He's so good, I'm not entirely sure that GCN didn't just blow their whole year's budget hiring Sir David himself.
Funny timing. I just smashed my PR’s on a local bike park’s black line by locking out my rear suspension. Hadn’t ridden there in a few years as I’ve been on my hardtail (son has had the trail bike) and it just felt “right” to lock it. Checked times later and not only PR’d it, but got my top 1, 2, and 3 times ever. YMMV
By far and away the best video GCN has ever produced. If there's an Oscar for TH-cam Videos this video should receive one. Five Stars 10/10 100% Fresh A+
I have been searching my local wooded areas, can't seem to find any gravel bikes let alone a pinarello one, are they maybe a more mountainous species? Will continue the hunt for this majestic machine.
Sadly, their numbers have recently diminished. Combine that with the growing number of people hunting, capturing, and taming them, they have become a rare sight in the wild. Hopefully, with conservation efforts their numbers will return so more of us can enjoy them in their true environment.
Hat's off to Dr. Oliver for such an amazing impression of David Attenborough. Those pauses, accent and delivery were almost perfect! To Oliver, you will never get dropped at least for this impersonation! Wish you would continue to do more of this in the channel.
hahah one of the best storytelling videos you've have ever produced. well done. after being a roadie for the past 6 years, I'm slowly getting into MTB and watching GMBN videos as well. Blake is an awesome presenter with great acting skills 😱
one of the funniest GCN videos AND with good info. I laughed & learned. And the whole Attenborough - BBC nature docu style thing is very, very, very well executed. compliments!
This video was crazy! Loved it all, the film, camera, blake ripping the bike, the actual bike, the script, the narrator. This is one of the best videos I've seen here (both GCN and GMBN). A mini series like this would be absolutely bunkers!
Amazing video! Loved it! Blake has incredible skills. Makes me want to take my gravel bike to the local Mtn bike trail just to see if I can ride a trail with it. Both wheels firmly on the ground at all times though.
Great Video, laughed all the way through. Was very impressed with Blake's skill on the bike. What it also shows, is that there are many different bikes out their, deigned to suite various riding styles. As long as you have fun on your bike, that is all that matters.
LBS: sire, is this steed enough and suited for your need? MTBer: Hell yeah bruh!? imma take this to the hills! LBS: perhaps an enduro or trail would be more suited sire? MTBer: trust me bruh! this is enough! hahaha
Love your content already, but this takes it to a whole different level! Best thing I've watched as of lately. Such a masterpiece! Please serve us more of these bikomentaries!
You should do one of these for the ‘Humble Motorist’ and their relationship with the cyclist. 🚗 🚙 We need a massive piss take that we can link for the angry driver. 😊😁😁😁
Did you think a gravel bike could do this? Let us know in the comments 👇
As Sam Pilgrim shows - give a pro ANY bike and they do amazing things. So not surprised at all!

I agree 100%! This is easily the best video GCN has produced for TH-cam in a long time!
golden huh?!?!
It was the cycling video I've ever seem! Congrats
LOL. Who did the voice over?!! Brilliant!!
You're right... He hasn't spoken to us about this!
What happens in the forest stays in the forest
@@elanorfairbairn Indeed! 😂😂😂
Lol
I just watched the GMBN video that I guess just now came out where he tells us that he did this.
@@elanorfairbairn Along with broken bones and teared off limbs.
This is the content we want.
exactly
Yes, mountian bike footage / skill on a road cycling channel.
+1
Yes
I literally smiled through the whole thing. Blake and Ollie are also my faves :)
The part where Olly was running away from the trails.....Lol
And the voice-over a la 'Attenborough' is also funny!
Ahaha, me to!
This even held my wife's attention and made her giggle, as she usually rolls her eyes and tunes out when I watch what she calls "bike porn."
Women... What can you do?! :-)
You okay with that?
well done for committing to this for the whole video rather than as just an intro.....in the end the skills of the rider are the key
Mad thing is, Blake is smashing that gravel bike down the hill faster than most of us can on a full suspension MTB!

Well he is a Pro and we are just a bunch of amateurs!
Aerodynamics, woo!
And the golden tube goes to Blake for his portrayal of mountain man, and best choice award goes to Ollie for his portrayal of Ollie in the woods😅
A role Ollie's been working towards for years now...
@@gcn At least it's not dropping out
Best GCN voice-over yet!
"he'll never speak of this day to his friends, they wouldnt understand whats just happened" lol love it!
Like a moped. Fun to ride but don't let your friends see you doing it.
That's a pretty solid Attenborough impression.
i'll be damned if they actually got the man himself to narrate......
@@duracellrabbid it’s probably hanks dad
I think it’s actually Ollie
We all want to know the truth!!!! GCN, who’s the narrator??
@@ruiloureiro3167 🤐

I love you two haha
Ollies "turn and run" at minute 2:19 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Yeah, looks like a scared kitten!
"Canned mineral water" is the most underrated line in the whole video.
If this doesn’t win an Oscar for “Documentary of the year”, there’ll be outrage amongst the GCN community!
Laughed so much at Ollie flexing his muscles and running away😂
I was also a fan of bashful hands. The director or presenters did a great job finding broad gestures to match the narrative.
This is the kind of content I’m here for!
I am an MTB rider and today I ordered my first gravel bike. Needed some change. It will be amazing, I cannot wait!
One of the greatest gcn videos ever
This creature was pretty well trained
This is the best GCN video ever in my books. The story and narration was off the charts. Please do more of this kinds.
Utterly hysterical... best GCN / GMB ever👍🤣🤣

GCN: "Blake - you don't have to say anything. Just be goofy on a bike."
Blake: "I can do that!"

Brilliant. Great to see Ollie running again as well.
This was the best commercial of a bike i've ever seen so far, brilliant !!
It's so good that I actually forgot that it was an ad.
Front to back an awesome video. Turn Blake and Hank totally loose. The world needs that kind of madness.
one of the funniest GCN videos AND with good info. I laughed & learned. And the whole Attenborough - BBC nature docu style thing is very, very, very well executed. compliments!
Never thought i would see the day when Blake wearing lycra. Full lycra.
I was stunnnnnnnnned
Made me gay
Blake rides road often. He’s no stranger to roadie gear.
@@adventuresona700dollarhard5 I don't associate him with it so it was an outright peal of laughter.
@@madwank same
This is gold content. Couldn't help being giddy and smiling throughout.
God! I love seeing my favorite presenters in GCN ollie and GMBN Blake, especially in cross-over show XD
I could watch this all day long. The photography, music, narration. And watching that gravel bike flying through the air...god. We love to see it
Enjoyed everything about this. Well done GCN/GMBN great all round production.
THIS WAS EPIC. Above and beyond! What an enjoyable watch! The David Attenborough impression is amazing.
Is Hank's Dad the narrator? :).
To all the gcn regulars: im only 1 minute into the video , but blake is reason enough to go watch gmbn :).
Are you serious? (I'm genuinely wondering). It's the Sir David Attenborough... Or it isn't?
@@inz_uzi It surely sound like him... 😄
@@inz_uzi we'll let you decide 😉
@@gcn Damn you! Cruel bastards... 😀
@@inz_uzi He's very good but it's clearly not Attenborough. :)
Blake and Ollie literally the perfect pair for this sketch. I was dying laughing during the intro
That is a sweet Pinarello gravel bike. More please GCN!
This is the kind of premium content you can only expect from GCN.
Also, this bike is just a beauty!
Stop what you're doing and look at Olli running again! :D love this kinda content!
This video was crazy! Loved it all, the film, camera, blake ripping the bike, the actual bike, the script, the narrator.
This is one of the best videos I've seen here (both GCN and GMBN). A mini series like this would be absolutely bunkers!
Blake being an awesome human being again. ❤️
This blew me away. Wow. GCN and all the other channels never stop improving. Great job!
Amazing video! Loved it! Blake has incredible skills. Makes me want to take my gravel bike to the local Mtn bike trail just to see if I can ride a trail with it. Both wheels firmly on the ground at all times though.
BBC documentary masterpiece, with Blake's insane skills. Love it!
This was absolutely awesome, this is totally going to be a classic video. I loved it and I can’t say enough about it.
Seriously one of their best videos ever.
More emotional range than i was expecting on a GCN video. Joy and wonder.
I love this goofy shit, never change gcn.
Absolutely Brilliant!!! I swear it’s Sir David Attenborough doing the voiceover! Amazing!
Thanks 🙏🏼😀
Trail riding is the most fun I've ever had on my CX bike, it just feels like you're on the edge all the time. Hurts the next day though ;)
What an impression. Smiled through it all. Very well put together.
Absolute masterpiece, been smiling for 7 minutes straight ❤️
Best video I've seen yet, great skills by the rider and acting. Narration was awesome
I knew sir Attenborough wouldn't want to miss the possibility of commenting such a rare event:)
this is what creativity is all about ! Super Attenborough by Ollie.. after all he is a creature of fun!
Freaking hilarious! Well done GCN, it’ll be tough to beat this one. 👏🏽
Such a fantastic film... And that David attenborough impression was spot on
Finally, I was waiting all week for this one :)
This is such a piece of art i am lost for words!
I kept waiting for “Sir David” to go into the mating habits of the materials need to produce this amazing offspring.
Only two minutes of the video, and you can already tell this is an epic one !! The story telling is really captivating !!
When's the new "GGN" channel being launched?
(Global Gravel Network)
A split second after the moment the Gotham City News channel sued them for an acronym...
@@PrzemyslawSliwinski 😂
SIGN ME UP PLS!!!
Only a short a way into it but this is absolutely brilliant! I love the nature doc commentary, and Blake acts it up really well.
I need a 160mm of travel.
Blake: *GRAVEL BIKE*
Ollie timidity approaching the MTB then running away was the highlight . Well done GCN. Such a fun and entertaining video on so many levels.
Sir David Attenborough would be proud of this art master piece.
Yes
Been a MTN biker for the last 30 yrs... recently bought a gravel bike n been loving it so far..
I wanna see Blake running a Brompton.. would be really really really entrataining
My brommie and I would comment heavily on that.
@@Kimberly_Sparkles Mine too!
Well done, GCN! What a masterpiece of story telling, acting (well...), filming and film editing!
Can we have Blake teaching Ollie to back flip? That would be a great video. If only to see the intense fear in Ollie's eyes.
As a new gravel bike owner this video fills me with joy!
Lmao I died when I saw Ollie peeking out from behind the tree
Genius! Well done GCN. And special thanks to Blake. He is a monster on any bike.
It's a masterpiece by Ollie!
Blake popping up like a meerkat at the start cannot be underestimated though.
The best video iv seen on TH-cam all year!!
My hat is firmly raised to you all!!
Pure Quality
GCN: perhaps one day we will see the road cyclist and the mountain biker come together
Vanderpol and Pidcock: Hold our red bulls.
...and all this with the fantastic voice of Sir David Attenborough :-) great video
Now this is how cycling should be, no limits and no humanoid sub-species.
Just cycling, the thing we all share..
Best GCN video to date!! This is why I ride a gravel bike best of both worlds
Thats definitely Ollie doing the impression. It's decent actually! Lol
utterly brilliant! the presenters, narration, sick riding skills, scripting, camera work; all fantastic!
What on God's green Earth have I just watched??? That was all kinds of incredible!
Great Video, laughed all the way through. Was very impressed with Blake's skill on the bike. What it also shows, is that there are many different bikes out their, deigned to suite various riding styles. As long as you have fun on your bike, that is all that matters.
LBS: sire, is this steed enough and suited for your need?
MTBer: Hell yeah bruh!? imma take this to the hills!
LBS: perhaps an enduro or trail would be more suited sire?
MTBer: trust me bruh! this is enough! hahaha
These role playing comments used to be funny about 15 years ago. Now they are fucking boring as fuck.
@@channul4887 its not for everyone. just like MTB, we might enjoy it, while others dont and we cant force them. real talk.
Love your content already, but this takes it to a whole different level! Best thing I've watched as of lately. Such a masterpiece!

Nature, gravel and mountain biking combined,Definitely ones of my favourite videos
Whoever wrote this episode deserves a raise. SO good.
Excellent production! Didn't feel like an ad. So much respect for MTB riders.
If this popped up while I was watching National geographic I wouldn’t even question it
Yes! I watched an Attenborough documentary yesterday and it's totally believable (gorillas and elephant poaching yesterday, bikes today).
Best film I've seen on GCN. Top marks!
#GMBN #GCN #GMBNTech #GCNTech This David Attenborough voice over is friggin hillarious!!!!! Sorry #zimblake but the pink helmet is very "roadie".
This is a masterpiece! Thanks GCN! Such a delight
I have about 5% of my portfolio in uranium stock, any advice on any other stock that I can grow my $300k capital to a million dollars
You should buy and hold tech stock crypto investments
I don't think anybody should be left out when going for digital assets
That is to totally true, but how well does a financial advisor improve your profit? What is the experience like using an advisor?
Stocks are good, but crypto is next level man
This is impressive, how could someone go about getting investment guidance from a coach like that, do you mind sharing your coach Info?
The best storyline and cinema photography yet from GCN. There needs to be a GCN+ feature length documentary.
I love the story telling/national geographic style of video! We need more like this with Blake and Rich (my 2 fav presenters!)
one of the best videos I've ever seen from this channel or gmbn. that's saying something.
