Thanks for all the nice comments! It's nice to be back and I've had all the metal work out of my mouth so I might be able to speak a bit better next week.
I had no idea you had such a bad crash (been busy during the season Im a wrench) I hope you heal up 100% and can do that race next year.
Marc Ariss thanks. Yeah it was a pretty big one. Broken ankle, jaw, smashed in teeth and a bleed on the brain
Part of the game I suppose, but try and make it the last one. We all love seeing your shining face on the show.
get well soon OUR HERO THE DON!!
Hope you get completely well soon donny. Good to see you back 👍
So glad to see Neil is BACK!
I started Mountain Biking in 1989, internet was not invented then I think. Just bought my 5th new mtb a GT.
Iam 65 years old and still love riding my single track on my property.
Willian. Direction "Built" my first mountain bike in 1975 before I knew what a mountain bike was. 😆 I'm 57!
How are your knees? Mine are shot 😠
My left knee is a bit sore sometimes,but I knock my body around working, hiking the cycling is a bit easier on my body. just a weekend worrier these days . cheers Dave
i bought a mountainbike when i stopped smoking to compensate it. after 2 months i was in love with the sport, never seen media or something like this before, just started out of nothing. now i race downhill, love to ride dirt bikes and do tricks, going big and fast all the time
Friday night I was layin in bed watchin the show & my wife started to sing 🎶 hacks & bodges, hacks & bodges 🎶 And now my girls are singing it too. Dirt shed show family time.
Absolutely, and with the installation of Nortshores, ramps, berms etc in addition to the natural mountainous terrains that a lot of trail designers incorporate, ALL aspects of mountain-biking is covered and adds that X-Factor fun!
I got into MTBing after I won my first mountain bike (a MIELE Cr Mo frame with extra beefy Ambrosia rims) about 30 years ago. Started by taking it out on local bike paths then progressed to single track trails. Have been enjoying the sport ever since and get out almost every day now that I am retired. Bought my first fat bike this year so that I can ride year round. Something surreal about riding your bike through snow covered trails while listening to Bob Marley on my headphones :)
Welcome back Neil! 👍
Also Doddys hair looks like it's from the movie there's something about Mary
wow, that crash was massive. Glad that guy is alive :)
Alive and kicking! Rode a couple of more hours that day. Counted my lucky 🌟 🌟
Ben. There was not much water, maybe six inches. Fortunately I rotated in the air just enough to land flat on my back and that was enough surface area to displace the water, slow me down and prevent me from hitting the rocks below. Bike did the same, landed on its side beside me. The drop was around 15 feet. It could have gone all kinds of wrong. Thanks for the comments :D
Great to see Neil is back!!!!
Hacks & bodges intro makes me giggle proper every time. :D
It's a SUPER NICE video guys "HURHURRR"
Good To See Neil Backkkkk 🤘 & Martyn Looks Like A Burglar With His Hoodie 😂😂
There was an option missing in the last Poll: Time! EVERY kid born in the 80´s had a MTB in the 90´s. We were shredding the local areas of whereever we lived on our hardtails like Giant Terrago, Boulder or what ever. Suspension got much better at this time. Having a Rock Shox Judy was sooo cool. Oh it was a good time to grow up.
Bicycle AddictsDE That is true.
Glad to see Neil Back!
Hat in the bike volt again xD
Nice to see Neil again and all the best on his recovery
Neil, glad to see you back in the shed. Having had a few shunts on the road bike myself, I can feel your pain. Hope you are able to get back on the trails soon.
Welcome back Neil, awesome seeing you back in the shed! Hope you continue to heal quickly my brother!
As long as you are off road, having a good time, repping the love for 2 wheels~ you are mountain biking!
welcome back,neil.
Great show fellas, too cool seeing you back so soon Neil, Get on!!..
Fails and bails guy didn't watch Blake's "How to ride wooden features" video.. would have known how to hit that exact drop
bscjake exactly what I was thinking
Welcome back Neil!!!
Great video! Keep the bikes flying high, cant wait for the next video..
Welcome back Neil good to see you back in the shed respect 😊🖒👍
Thanks guys for the super nice on my Volcán
suggestion.. maybe martin bike can be modified so martin can control body placement at the bike... maybe some adjustable front and back movement to change the c.g of the bike... if manufacture can come up with something like that...
Neil is back!!!! I'm SOO GLAD!!
i love you guys! the hacks and bodges song never fails to make me laugh. keep up the awesome work.
Can u do a jokey video to make your bike sound like a motor bike e.g wedge a milk bottle between the chain and frame
Welcom back Neil, you do look well rested so go for it in the comming months!
Welcome back Neil! Hey guys 58 years old here been riding a few months and love it. I live in Washington state which has good riding but want to try Whistler. Are there good blue trails for an older guy like me without crazy jumps and stuff?
Great to see you back Neil! It isn't GMBN without you!
It was really nice that you guys mentioned #Guga Ortiz in the show, it has been a real tragedy for the entire MTB community here in Chile. Even though it is possible that he will not be able to walk again I hope and trust he will have the strength to overcome this situation just like #Martyn Ashton has done it... cheers guys and let's stay positive
So happy Neil's back😁😵
Martin ! WIll you never learn ? No hats in the bike vault !!!!
Great to see you riding - and racing - again martyn!
I was always wondering what is the difference between horizontal and vertical positioned middle/rear suspension on mtb??
I missed the pole on how did I get into MTB. So I'll just answer here.
I've always wanted to!
When I was a kid, I grew up poor and raise by my single my mother, and the only toy I really had in those days was a mini BMX. So I rode it a lot, and broke it in pieces a lot too (my mother made friends with a welder). As I got older I got a normal sized BMX, but it got stolen when I was about 16 when I left it parked at the tennis court while playing a tournament. And never rode again until over 20 years later when my ex left me. Guess I finally had some money for myself, so I bought a mountain bike (I have 2 now), guess that's my midlife crisis toy, but I love it and reminds my just how great riding is!
At fails and bails:"this was wheelie Bad " xD
Wheelie fail has to be top-5 of the year thus far.
DamnTrue yhea, guy deserves a cap or something. That's taking fails and bails to a new level.
DamnTrue ikr, I don't think I've laughed so hard at a fail
DamnTrue it happened so fast and my first thought after I realized me and my bike were ok was to send it in for F&B! It was miraculous.
An amazing clip Dude. Thanks for sending it in.
Can we all just pause and agree on how Doddy is killing it on GMBN?
'I got into mountain biking at 18 because I lived on the edge of Dartmoor and I wanted to escape from the hound of the Baskervilles!'
Neil!!!
Great to see you back and well mate!
Caption contest: when the shredding takes priority over caption contest
In the next episode will Neil be exploring if it's easier to jump a parked car in the bike park or on the trails? Hope the concept at least raises a smile.
Best wishes to Neil for a speedy journey to a full recovery, and thanks to the rest of the team for another good episode.
13:11 is me. 5 days of riding in Quebec. Unscathed. Topped off the week standing in the rain at MSA to see Gwinn's epic run. Great vacation!
Vallée Bras Du Nord!
Hi guys, when is Martyn's DH run going to be up on ur channel???
Neil, glad to see that ur making a quick recovery
neil glad you back! fun episode
Damn, Ryan Nyquist is a name I remember hearing from when I was kid watching some of the early years of the X-Games!
Good to see you back Neil 👍
Doddy has finally settled in for the team.
Great to see the Don back.
NOOOOO HATS IN THTHE BIKE VAULT MARTYN
I still love you though
Poll Answer.. yes and no. I learned to ride in the early 90's doing downhill @Northstar in California. Having now moved to Texas there are no traditional bike parks and the riding is more real. With the bike parks being the focus of a lot of videos people forget about the non-bike park mountain biking that I feel is more real. Both are mountain biking but for different people.
Doddy's hair look like it's just come fresh from it's scene in "There's something about Mary"
Great to see neil back!!
Good to see you back Neil. I chose mountain biking due to fact, too many road bikers died on the road. On my local news, there are few. But never heard of any mountain bike incident.
Neil mate, you have been missed. Great to see you back.
1:57 yes, yes ,yes.....no yes , haha love it
Bike park is mountain biking because you ride down mountain on mountain bike
But in mountainbiking your also meant to go up the mountain?!
Chris M mountain biking is uphill too!😂
Never Go OTB! Yeah well is it all of a sudden road biking if you don't ride up the mountain?
Please Answwer- How do you submit your bike pic in the bike vault?
Great to see you mended Neil!!
in fails and bails, is that the same wooden berm flat drop as blake showcased in how to ride northshore features
Looks like Bing Bong wasn't there to save Martyn from leaving his hat on in the bike vault. NO HATS IN THE BIKE VAULT!!!
It's great to see Neil back in action..
welcome back Neil
Doddy's hair looks like a Crankworx feature.
Welcome back JAWZ! Fark aye tin grinz are in! Here's a pole for you guys. Is road biking, enduro, XC, DH or the Bier run the most Dangerous?
I was in whistler a few weeks ago on vacation and saw a guy in line for the lift wearing a gmbn jersey. We need a special hello or gesture to let fellow riders know we are part of the gmbn family too.
"There's something about Mary" going on with Doddys hair gel..🤤
Hey all,
I just had a chance towatch Friday's DirtShedShow and enjoyed the coverage from Whistler!
But; what the heck is on Martyn's head in the bike vault??!!???
A hat and a hoodie??
Somebody's in BIG trouble now.
Keep up the fine work.
Kirk
It was cold up there Dude. Man I've no idea how Doddy sat there in a T.
Next time you guys are headed to whistler you should hit Seattle or Bellingham. Some pretty awesome trails there.
No hats in the bike vault
But why? Isnt it a bit silly?
If it's outside the shed does it count?
Does the hood cancel out the hat?
superb show guys
I died on the first dude for fails and bails, I wasn't sure what would happen when he fell but when i heard the splash I cacked it!
King Martyn the Legend is back!!!!
Doddys hair has a mind of its own!!
Awesome! Quick question for you GMBN and Neil & Crew - I'm moving from Whistler to Cambridge for a year to study, and of course bringing my mountainbike. Where can I get some true downhill biking in the UK? I'm used to riding the north shore and whistler, and really want to turn my knuckles white and get my heart pumping!! My life depends on it!!! :D Thanks in advance for all of your suggestions!
Martin Soderstrom at 2:08 is the best! =)))
No hats in the bike vault Martyn!!!
Good to see The Don back.
When you think about it professional DH is a part of the UCI MTB tour so bike park riding is exactly the same just at a pro level. PLEASE FEATURE THIS IN NEXT DIRTSHED👏👏👏👏👏👏
do you need a good bike to get in the bike vault - or is it more about how the photo looks
Hat in Bike Vault alert! Martyn is misbehaving again!
I started riding at age 5. I'm now 12 years old. I started jumping at 6. And thanks a lot for a great channel.
Welcome back Neil.
Was Martyn presenting with doddy bravo this week with that hair at the end???
Martyn I would love some info and more photos of your wheelchair. Is it a custom build? It looks well able to deal with off road terrain.
And yes welcome bask Neil.
Can my brakes stop functioning because of too much use in a race? Maybe the thing that stops the disc heated or run out of liquid?
Marten's wheelchair is pimped out with extra wide tires(tyres) and everything
As long as you're riding some kind of dirt trail (not asphalt, preferably not gravel) you're mountain biking imho. Doesn't matter if you're not on an actual mountain as some people think. Trail infrastructure and features are fine but I draw the line when I see people riding purpose built skills courses in urban areas or basically BMX on bigger bikes with bigger features.
hat in the bike vault!!!!
You already posted the bike park safety check?
What's better about 4 pot breaks? Why not just make the 2 pot bigger? Is the master cylinder bigger on a 4 pot?
13:31 I laughed so hard hahaha
That new POC Coron helmet makes the new Rocky Mountain Instinct. New partner for Rocky in 2018?
You guys are at least 90% responsible for me getting into mountain biking.
Lift parks are 1000% mountain biking. At nearly any park you have massive DH jump lines, off property cross country trails, and everything in between so there's something for every rider. It's a nice opportunity to progress your skills as you can do dozens of runs a day and not waste energy on the uphill.
My wife confiscated my road bike after a big hit last year (know how you feel Neil) ... Now I just trail ride 3 times a week :D - I think the logic is dirt is softer than metal and concrete
I love your content so much keep it up
Hey GMBN, do you guys have any tips on getting a new bike cheaply. I am 15 years old and have been riding mtb for about 3 years now, I am looking to upgrade to a dual suspension but they are all so expensive, have you got any tips for my to get the best price possible? Tahnks love the videos!
