I Love GMBNS Blake’s Builds
Thanks dude!
Same
its the best
Same they’re awesome
Blake brings energy, passion, positivity, creativity, and a great smile. He loves what he does and we not only see it but feel it. That is why I watch GMBN. Awesome Blake !
Thanks for watching Barry!
Blake is why we all love GMBN!!
It's the "welcome back you beautiful people" from Blake that really helps everyone through the week. Sick vid keep em coming!!
Sameee
1:34 Only Blake would do that what a legend 😂
Noah E i didn’t click on the time but i know already that it’s him licking the spade isn’t it
@@felixwhitty5787 yeah same 😂😂
WHO ever edited this should be a film maker. Good job on ya mate🤘🤙
Three Riders they probs already are
If they’re editing a gmbn video they’re technically a professional filmmaker cause it’s their job
We've got a great filming and editing team!
Editing's alright yeah, but I'd say the cameraman made it. Especially liked the shot taken in between the take off and landing, underneath looking up to the sky. 👌
GMBN broke my heart and put it back together again. The magic of music editing!
No-one:
TH-cam: let’s give notifications *30 MINS LATE* - what a good idea
First! 😂
Global Mountain Bike Network I never get gmbn upload notifications on time anymore. TH-cam is broken
Global Mountain Bike Network SECOND!
Dude I've had notifications four days late.
YEAH!! BLAKE'S THE BEST!!
Any gmbn video with Blake in it is amazing 👌
hugh cuthbert very true
These boys are the main reason I want to go out and jump my bike
Blake makes me feel like I am special and I matter
Thank You Blake
-Evan Lambert
In my opinion Blake will be allways the funniest 🤣🤣😂
That's legendary dirt, sand,clay, and dirt all mixed together it hardens but takes years to crumble 🤤😂
Jack Gwillam soooo jealous lol
Blake is my favourite rider. Hands down!
When your meant to be doing school then Blake uploads a new video.
Thats me all day
Yep facts
School run? Have i travelled back in time??
So you're meant to "be doing school" then Blake uploads a new video, *then what...* 🤷♂️
Who thinks GMBN just makes MTB life way better
⬇️
MTB WITH RAPHY yep!
Love the intro😂
These vids are what make me want to hop onto a bike, epic jumps!
This is just gorgeous cinematography. The whole section around 7:00 is amazing. Nice work!
Thanks a lot!
Yeah nice close ups. They had to do that really otherwise the video would get a bit boring, especially during the building stage.
Sick man
Yes amazing sound design
I think we can all agree that Blake is the best GMBN presenter
Build a trail with small jumps in a very small woodland lots of people have that situation
👍
👍
👍
👍
That super tight framing at 18:44.
Great vid, content and camerawork. Keep 'em coming!
Appreciate it!
Blake the builder! Like the video.
Ivan Semanco thanks dude
Only gmbn can make digging look SICK!!!
this is the start of the video and im already so excited to watch it
Just the video I’m looking for, perfect blakey
What the hell kind of soft, smooth, easy to work with dirt have the gods blessed the UK with?! It almost looks like kinetic sand!
you can really see Blake's past of building and riding in this video, and its awesome!
This video is incredible! I had so much fun watching.
Ryan Natwick thanks dude 🙏
Too beauty to ride Blake! Awesome job. They look mint!
Blakie CAN fakie!!!
Always a pleasure to watch this dude.
Cheers!
Even though I have experience riding and building dirt jumps I think it would be beneficial for beginners to do a video on how to build simple rollers and double rollers (or tabletops). Double rollers are the perfect introduction to jumping because of the very low consequences and since they're pretty small most people would be able to build one in the yard. These can also be incorporated into a pumptrack which is fun for beginners and more advanced riders too. I'm building a pumptrack in my backyard right now!
thx blake i used your berm building tutorial and it worked better than expected
your camera crew has become significantly better over the years. 👍👏👍
Gotta say, Blake videos are my favorite
Blame for presenter of the year for GMBN 🤘🏻🤘🏻
had the volume down when music on my sons lorrle&hardy scetch started in the background... was a good match... wow!!
I was waiting for one of these 😂
Blake you are my favorite rider. You are an inspiration to me. You make me want to ride. Please respond to the comment
Dawson G thanks for the super kind comment dude. Stoked I’ve inspired you to ride
Blake Samson thank you for your reply that means so much to me. When I grow up I want to be a pro rider
Yes good job 👏 good air time and looks great 👍 please do more
Thanks, will do!
Yes
I love the flat shovel for building, over the years, ive learned that investing in an 8 inch by 8 inch tamper. Works excellent for packing and the final shaping. I think it makes them last longer using it as well. You give great tips.
These are my favorite video of gmbn
#GMBN Greatly enjoyed this video. I can really see Blakes love of jumps coming through. I'm sure he's spent plenty of days out here alone just doing what he loves.
Gmbn is keeping me entertained in lockdown
Well done Blake , passing on important information to the next generation ! please build / ride the ideal small hip jump for whip beginners.
So glad I have a front end loader and excavator. Makes moving dirt so much easier
Love you man, thank you very much for yours energy, vibes, for inspiration and yours smile!
Nice work Blake! We're building a new pump/jump section at our MTB park here on Vashon Island, USA.
Nice video I’m going to replicate this in my backyard awesome video
Have fun!
Black you are my favourite presenter your so funny and I love you 😀
Thanks for this video, it really helped me figure out a lot.
Ahoy from Panama, according to engineering "Angle of Repose" is the maximum slope angle a material can naturally maintain. Keep up the awesome videos.
Yeeeeee!! Love job in the jump🤙🏼
That dirt look mint
It's the dream!
Thx good vid ima do some builds at my locals
Blake is the best presenter
I swear i’m their biggest fan
Well, I know where I'm going this weekend... used to ride that spot years ago!!
where abouts?
Please GmBN do dirt jump series more often
Brilliant Blake!
i could watch this guy build jumps for hours
I love Blake’s builds. I am not being mean to all the other presenters but BLAKE ya a big fan bro
Totally love Blake's builds!!! This video is mint mate, hows the muscles hahaha.
The intro is amazing 😂😂👅
Loving the covid hair cut Blake we could be brothers😀. Love your vids when are you going to upload the next part of your bike cave makeover? I need some ideas for mine when I get in my new house.
I get my dirt the same way I call it shaving however, and I get it from my trail make it an inch or a 1/2 an inch down, and pat it all after to keep it looking nice with every new feature
I love Blake, always makes me laugh
I rode this jump last week .. thanks blake x x
where is it?
Excellent video! Love blake’s how to’s🥰
Thanks so much!
I liked this straight away just because of that intro
No one gonna mention the dude in the background never rides his bike, just pushes it up a hill the whole time 😂
What I like to do is to ding a hole in between the two jumps because it doesn’t matter because now none is going to land there so I am able to get some mote dirt without making some dangle holes around or near the jump
best GMBN presenter
Ferry is still running then. New title for you Blake. “The Earl of Buckland” Ha ha
Thanks this is awesome
Lockdown hairdoo ❤️
Love this guy
Blake.
Your fxxking awesome.
Love you man,
☺
Thank you for your mad energy,
Blake, thats a shovel, a spade is more strait and used for digging holes, shovels are used to move dirt, like you are doing 😄😄 but as always, great video
Ole Bondig Blake called a spade a spade.
Ole Bondig Blake called a shovel a spade!
also if it's possible i would like to see him build a drop...
thnx!
This guy can probably making a video about how to paint pottery and make it interesting and engaging!
Those logs definitely weren’t rotten
Blake is the best
Blake in the best host
that dirt looks mint
Love your videos been building my own trails but mtn frame is really cracked wish I had a good bike but I got my 29er from Walmart
Hello gmbn. Love it than’ you so much keep well :)
Yo we love that groovy ass music
finally a good video
What’s your opinion on using carpet for the lips and landings Blake?
classical music is the dream with mtb videos
This is the Matt Jones video that we never got.
hey Blake, if you're listening ( or reading ), you GMBN with you should do a colab video with @Matt Jones, it would be sick!
Vitor Duarte hey Vitor, that would amazing
@@Zimblake when this covid situation calms down I'll try to remember you of that again.
Blake do be looking freaky with da shovel
Awesome vid! I wish I had dirt that good 😔
Very good video. bring back the stache.
Do a riding video on that next
Could you make a video on how to pick out a place to build?
Do you know where I can get help for my Mt. Bike addiction? I just watched a guy shovel dirt for 20 min and loved every second of it. Clearly I have a deep rooted problem.
Sick
