How Low Can We Go? | Ultimate Mixed Wheel MTB

- When Blake thought of making the Ultimate Reverse-Mullet setup, he was so preoccupied with whether he could, he didn't stop to think if he should... Fortunately for us, Blake loves bad ideas, and we love seeing what happens when those ideas meet the trail! One questionable wig, three test routes, and five front wheels later, the Ultimate Reverse-Mullet is born!

What do you think? Is Blake right about the 'true' mullet-style bike having a bigger rear wheel, and all of our mullet-style bikes being reverse-mullets? Let us know in the comments!

It's always so fun to watch blake do weird stuff
Indeed love it
Not wired at all this scientific research 👍🏼
How Sam Pilgrim didn’t already think of this blows my mind. Also thought mullet man was Dusty for a sec 😂
Me too!
Me three.
I can almost see a Dusty Guy & Blake Mullet vid coming on. 😂
Totally thought you were ribbing him for blatantly ripping off dusty guy
Maybe we should get them together for some joint “projects” (aka carnage)
Sam would have said it's absolute death, followed by it's actually the best thing ever.
Are the ideas for your videos now written by Sam Pilgrim?
Holy crap, Blake deserves some kind of award for most ludicrous video. Is there any bike he can't jump?
Recumbent or cargo bike...see if he can jump?
the best one was a gravel bike haha and the edit they did haha
That jumping was truly impressive on the 12". Shame they couldn't find one with more grip.
How he didn't otb on the tech, or have the wheel slide out more...
Blakes skill really proves to be top tier here. If any of us tried this we would be in trouble.
The madman didn't have a full face helmet or anything. I would have eaten so much dirt trying that.
Blake isn't just an outstanding rider, he's also a fantastic actor. Love Mr. Mull Mech
The last one should be named „The T. Rex Bike“😉.
😂😂😂😂👍👍
😂😂😂 100%. Missed that call
He's just riding a Penny Farthing backwards.
That 12 inches climb had me in stitches 😂
Blake's significant ability as a rider shines through here....impressive control through this entire experiment...well done!
Mad respect to the camera guy running uphill alongside Blake, and not a huff or a puff out of them!
But maybe invest in a drone to spare your crew? :P
Drone that close would ruin the audio 🤣
I lost a tooth doing exactly this in the 80s but with a race bike with cow horn bars and a chipper front wheel (kids version of a chopper), popped a wheel and saw the front wheel disappear down the road to over the bars and face brake on the tarmac. great times
Blake's an amazing rider, if he wasn't there GMBN wouldn't be able to put these crazy videos together.
Blake just proving, if you are good enough, you can have fun and ride well on any bike. Geometry etc etc really doesn't matter that much if you are not racing.
Blud blake looks jacked
Blake is an incredible rider... both regarding his technic and his fitness...
Inspiring because it shows how much the RIDER is what makes the difference
Oh my the most favorite: Multi-Blake vid!
To be completely honest, I am not sure what gives me more goosebumps: 12" of size, or that non-existing tread 😀
What a pitty it was spoiled in very begining 12" was to come. Shame on you, editor-Blake! 😀
Blake should put a long travel, downhill fork with that 12" wheel. It would essentially be a chopper bike like people built in the 70's out of Schwinn Crates.
This was absolutely premium material!!! Blake is a crazy beast! If I ever to meet you good sir, your adult beverage is on me!
Laughing my freaking arse off the whole video. Blake is the perfect person for this kind of thing. His personality along with his ongoing commentary is priceless
Great video! If only you could swap the forks too to keep headtube position same: imagine that trolley caster of a wheel on 400mm travel, tracking every.single.root
Blake truly shows his entertainment expertise and his skills as a rider. How does he come up with this stuff? Thought I saw everything.
I was waiting at the end to see blake finish with a roller blade wheel
Blake showing us how skills > setup. What a madman! Lekker Blake! Send it!
Blake you are an incredibly brave man, thanks for putting it all out there for our entertainment & edification!
Side note on the history of mullet bikes: when Cannondale first started making mountain bikes in the mid 80s, the first models were all mullets. 26" in the front, 24" in the back. Because your heels would clip any cantelever brake of the day, they put a BMX sidepull brake on the rear. It was an interesting solution to the problem, but not a very good one, on steep downhills things got pretty terrifying very quickly.
😂 excellent fun. There’s room for everyone having a laugh, Blake, Sam, whoever ! How it should be , zero neg 😁👍🏼
I love how he sends it like he is a videogame character who will just respawn back on the bike with no injuries, absolute savage
The charm of Hammond and the ridiculousness of Clarkson
Blake always manages to have a good time! 😂
I'm crying my eyes out with laughter, yet completely petrified for OTBs which thankfully didn't happen. I bow to you Blake! You crazy, beautiful, wacko adrenaline king.
We love that ridiculous stuff! Give us some more! 👏😁
Blake's videos always has be cracking up! OMGosh!!!
This is the content we've been craving!
Of course the pathetic thing is Blake is better on a bike with that tiny front wheel than I am on a normal 29'r.
The 12" front just needed longer forks, slacker heard angle & some ape hanger bars - Born to be Wild!
We have all wondered and thank you Blake for finding out! I mean, how could we have known the party in the front and business in the back would be a horrible idea in anything but a nightclub!
Haha so true. 😂
Crazy. Loved it. Blake is a highly skilled rider and hilarious commentator. Props
That was crazy!
What next?
How short cranks can you ride?
Blake and GMBN team, absolute madlads, enjoyed it so much XD
Lol you are Mad, I was expecting an endo on the last mullet. 👍🏻👌🏻
Blake is crazy! So fun to watch!!! Most entertaining MTBr on TH-cam.
Love how on the last one the front wheel is nigh on the same size as the targest cog on the cassette... 🤣
This full of real joy "I survived!" :D
OMG! Can't look!!! 😱
The rolling power of 29 at the back plus the steering effectiveness of 27.5 at the front. 🤔
With that kind of wheels!!! Sir Guy must have been one of the best biker out there??? 👍🏻😱
It really is all good Fun to Watch! Thanks
With a father like Blake, Charlie doesn't need a playmate 🙂
😂😂
@@BlakeSamson8 He is a very lucky little man ❤️
Blake is just a natural at weird set ups and getting style in the air on such set ups.
That was freaking hilarious!!!
Best presenter ever!!! 👌🤣🤣
Awesome work as allways
This is everything i love about gmbn 😂. Soooo good
Love the eagle sound clips!
With the 12" front end climbing up it looked like you were moonwalking uphill!
Love this video. Great job.
Thank you, Blake for this madness! That's what going all the way is about
Mint, keep it up blake. Forgot how good you are to watch and what skill you have
This was awesome. I loved all of it
Shout out for Dave Jenvey. I miss that guy.
A million years ago when I was 12-ish, I put a shopping cart wheel on my 24” wheeled bike. Those were the days when your pedals fell apart and ended up pedaling around on the spindles.
He's insane, the closest thing we have to a test dummy is him!
Keep doing crazy things man, you're awesome.
Hugs from Brazil.
Saw the title, instantly knew this was gonna be a Blake video 😁
Seems to me that the 12" wheel needs 400mm handle bars to go with it. It would make it the ultimate OTB machine.
Awesome content as always very enjoyable watching Blake
This is brilliant!
This made me smile 😊 love the vids , full of entertainment
One of the best GMBN video !! XD
Blake cracks me up.
Keep up the good work 😂
Blake is hilarious!
We need way more of Blake
AWESOME video as always. Hilarious.
That looked absolutely nuts 😂
Your skills are insane!
Wow man, blooming brilliant. Nice one Blake. Bye for now dude. 😃🤗✋✌️👍
Oh ffs .. I can’t make that drop on my normal wheel and you do it on a 12” wheel .. BRILLIANT 🙌👏👏👏💥
This should be a challenge in all DH competitions to keep things fun
I doubt I'm alone but the bloopers reel from this filming would be epic.
Blake the best presenter. Dude doing rad things to please the fans
Pure brilliance!
Well done. Crazy front gyro
Dave jenvey drop unlocked a long forgotten memory thank you blake
"Where's my stunt double?" Definitely expected MullMechan to be in the next shot.
This is crazy and I love it
awesome Blake, just awesome
I loved this one! She serious skill in display.
Feels great. Im running full gear FF helmet, kneepads, body armor etc when running a Red and black lines. Blake does it in T-shirt with a regular helmet and trying reverse mullet.... INSANE.
How much have you paid heaven for not taking you? ;)
Great as always. Hope to meet you some day.
Great video Blake so much fun to watch, next try small front wheel short handle bars long stem.
You're the Man dude!
I thought I've seen everything crazy with what sam pilgrim is doing but this is beyond crazy 🤣
16:44 that laugh💀
Blake is always correct... that's a fun fact :) awesome vid.
Love the video so funny and awesome!
I have an idea I would LOVE to see, a multiple part bike build culminating in an actual race somewhere. The presenters have £1000 to buy a bike knowing that any remainder cash is going back into the bike for upgrades so they buy bikes meet up and do some challenges, perhaps a bike packing challenge, then they upgrade, do the same challenges again and eventually all enter a legit race to see who’s best. Also get tech presenters involved as well, would be awesome to see what the techies do that’s different.
What you think? Love all your content!!
Like this idea. Cheers Sam
@@BlakeSamson8 awesome video mate love yours and the guys content 👍🏼
The only gmbn presenter that always agree to do some weird thing. Fair play, blake!
Giving me Sam Pilgrim vibes! Haha love it
Awesome work lol
12 in the front and 29 in the back lol😂Blake is my fav. Haha
Your the man Blake your great in front of the camera your one of top peoples on GMBN
Ridiculous! I love it.
The final form reminds me of those tractors with miniscule wheels up front but humongous wheels on the back lol
the biggest risk with very small wheels is that you encounter an obstacle that contacts the tire to close to the hub height = instant stop = front end collapses and you get launched. That was my biggest fear when riding a recumbent with a 16 inch front wheel, you really need to be mindful of it.
ive done a 29r 26f reverse mullet on my trek marlin to cancel out a much longer fork
Blake destroyer of Bikes and Trails
love stuff like this
Mr. Blake”reverse-mullet” Samson, now you’ve really done it! 😂
I give you an excellent on the stupidity-scale and a magnificent on the entertainment-scale. 🍾😅
That's was dang Hilarious. Good job Blake
bleke is the sam pilgrim of gmbn 😅✌️
