Blake Samson ...is the best thing that happened to GMBN. 🔥 His unlimited energy gives ME motivation to further develop and practice my skills... I always loved mountain bikes but I could only afford anything "rideable" not, until I was 19... (Now I'm 29) I had to work really hard and save every penny, for that XC bike. Also, never had a chance to ride as much as you Blake... It was always work. So I don't have such skills... BUT... ! I just got my first Trail bike just a few months ago. All because of this amazing guy Blake! I watch all the GMBN videos, my social media is just Mountain Bikes. I want to ride everyday. I even literally dream of riding a bike... 😖 Hobby and passion turned into obsession. I just can't stop thinking about it. I really wish to, one day, be like Blake. And travel to Rotorua, Whistler and so on... I still got 6 years right? 🤣 I have a lot to learn But I will not give up.
Blake makes everything fun and entertaining! I don't even have a mountain bike only a folding e-bike but when I see Blake, I click! Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
No matter if it’s cheap as dirt, a mountainbike is the most fun you can have on a bicycle, ever! Eventuell someday you have enough money to get a „decent“ mountainbike, but until that day just enjoy what you’ve got and ride the hell out of it! The most limiting factor will always be you, not the bike! (The exception from this rule would of course you being a pro rider, but that’s likely not the case)
Met Blake, Martyn and Neil at Whistler a couple of years ago. There is a saying to never meet your heroes but I'm glad I did. 😁 Blake was super nice when I asked to have a photo taken with their group. Hope to bump into them again soon. 😁
@@riptheguys3635 definitely a great experience. I checked the photo and it was just last year when I saw them. 😁 m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156382814576935&id=569701934&set=gm.876073952774697&source=57
People are saying that Blake is the best and I totally agree with that, but the editors today...... This video was top notch! Gmbn if you can see this, tell the editors that they did a great job!
41 years old!! After leaving the army I was a bit lost and only just got into mountain biking in the bast 4 months!! Honestly it is the best fun for fitness and everyone you meet out on the trails are great so far!! What a life Blake has had!!
I knew I could hear a hint of Rhodesia in his accent when I first watched him on a GCN crossover vid. I like that he roped his mum into it, that's awesome.
Blake’s mum might just be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet all week what a legend! What a humble guy Blake is! Honestly so much love for the guy such a rad dude who keeps me so stoked and motivated to ride!!! Loved this!!
I born in Slovakia and I did MTB as a child. But later I moved to the Czech Republic and MTB and I mostly forget what is MTB. Then I discovered GBMN, Martyn, Neil, Doddy & Blake. Blake was the force that brings me back to MTB. Now I ride my bike daily. Even in Winter. And when I'm not riding, I watching GBMN :-)
Love you brother. You are my favorite GMBN guy. You are the reason I actually watch especially because i'm a diehard hardtail rider. Keep it up ma man!
Watching GMBN for over a year now and I had the chance to ride my first MTB a couple days ago and I have to say : That was as fun as Blake make it look like. And that's why he's so good as a presenter, he love MTB so much and he's so good at sharing that feeling of fun and excitement of it. Man, you just gotta love Blake.
They made a great call hiring you man, you have an infectious personality that makes GMBN videos memorable. I'm actually a recent viewer just starting to get my head around the MTB scene trying to learn all the stuff that's changed in the decade since I stopped. Learned a shitload from Doddy, kept coming back to watch videos because you cracked me up so much with the Mullet and trail vs Enduro Blake. Now I'm just watching GMBN videos every day. You sir, are what made this channel stand out while I'm just watching an absolute scatter gun of channels trying to absorb info.
I have nothing but respect for Blake so humble and appreciative for the way things have gone for him, well done buddy you deserve it, you can feel the love he has for MTB awesome stuff
This dude is a “Supa Nice” bloke. Blake god bless your energy and kindness. It transpires and it is very inspiring and warming, ot really is. I’m 39, loved bikes all my life. But life got slightly in the way. However through GMBN I got the itch back, so in 2018 I bought my first ever full suss and never looked back. I’m even racing local enduro races and there’s not a week I do not look forward to go out and ride. 🤘
Blake is the main reason I keep watching these videos, he's so down to earth, and you can see he loves the sport, I love his catchphrase, hope you never never change 🤘
Well I personally don't think GMBN would be the same without you. The comedy and laughs you create are what brings me back day after day. Every presenter has a specialty and thats why this show is so damn good. You mesh well with everyone on the show and I honestly believe you are the bond that ties everyone togeather on the show. Your life has been exactly what you wanted, and your the one that has made it happen. I love when you did the Mega Avalanche on the hardtail and thats why at 49 I ride a stupid slack hardtail and I love every minute of it, even though my bones tell me otherwise.. Love ya man!!
I usually don't write comments but for this video I have to say, "I love it." I love that you show your community who you are and introduce us to your loved ones. It makes you real and relatable. It would be so cool for all the GMBN presenters to do personalized bios like this. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
My partner and I have taken up biking, for me I'm a beginner I had not ridden since I was a kid even though last week I had a bike accident and fractured my collar bone. Once I'm healed I'll be back on the bike. My partner is a fan of your channel and has got me into it too so thank you for making the lockdown better. When we ride and take in the views it's just been amazing so thank you.
Well having a proud dad, looking at you with that smile... if that's not the most rewarding thing that can happen to you, I don't know what it is. Keep it up Blake, you are doing a great job with GMBN :)
What I like about Blake is that you can really feel that he really loves and passionate about what he's doing. Plus his smile and laugh is what makes him an excellent presenter. Also I like the way he rides, free and doesn't care about anything. He'll just do what he want to do hahahaha
Waking up to GMBN videos with my brew is a great start to my day. I received my StarGazer sticker today. Just wish my new mtb is ready to collect. Thanks Blake cool video 👍😎
Blake I remember when I first met you and Ray up at our bike park at King of dirt,I'm so pleased your doing so well buh,stay safe biglove & much respect
I used to watch this channel many years ago and then lost it, I kinda forgot it. Ever since Blake has been on the channel I've been hooked and it's reinvigorated how much I love GMBN. Blake is the energy for me for this channel! I love the other guys too.
You have wonderful parents Blake to go through the upheaval moving from Zim it must of been a life changing decision I can see why they are proud. Keep up the good work🤙🏻
You are an absolute beautiful people Blake. A few years ago my dad gifted me a bike and I started watching gmbn at the same time you became a presenter, I was just looking how to patch a tube or something. Because of you I discover a whole new way of riding and having fun on bikes and I stick with it. Today I cannot see myself without a bike, I push myself to learn new tricks, I travel with it to ride trails but more importantly I learn to not take it too seriously, life in general, to be kind and irradiate happiness like you do.
Blake is _the_ best GMBN presenter, and he even beats Hank (IMHO - best GCN presenter). Very humble, even more skilled... and - the one thing that no one else can beat - his "always happy" attitude , makes my smile just by looking at him. Cheers Blake, wish you all the best!
Goddammit Blake seems like the most down to earth, friendly and humble person to grace the internet. And an incredible hard worker and athlete, too. Blake, if you're reading this: Thanks for all the content and laughs and info over the years. If your travels bring you to Vienna and you're in need of a local beer, local trails and a place to stay, come knocking. Cheers man.
I'm 42 and 'getting back into MTB'. Until a few months ago I had never heard of GMBN or Blake Samson but now it's the first place I go to on YT. Just an epic channel and a thoroughly honest, friendly and likeable bloke. Keep up the good work fellas!
Love Blake his class on a bike and hilarious👌🏻 his one of the reasons I got into mountain biking and to start my own TH-cam channel. Keep it up blake👌🏻👌🏻
A good friend of mine is from Zimbabwe. His name is Neil mcGregore n his younger brother Craig. Most humble people I know. Blake reminds me of him! So nice so humble. Taught me how to zimmy flick, flick a stone with pin point precision. Then Blake on the trails.... Takes me bk to when I was 18...
Had the privilege of bumping in Blake at BPW whilst he was shredding with Ollie and Brendog. What a super guy. Super nice, funny - it capped an awesome day riding. it was awesome reminiscing about days down South
I am so jealous of Blake. I wish I grew up on a family farm having all these cool toys. Hands down my favorite presenter on this channel. I really like the others too, but Blakes personality is one of a kind for sure.
Just found this after loving GMBN. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Inspiring me to love all biking even more. Some day it'd be an honor to have a Cuppa or a Pint and share stories!
I ride my MTBs mainly on road, few woodland trails and waterway paths but I call myself a MTB rider. I really love GMBN and all presenters they make me feel part of a community
GmbN get me into mtb.. which is best thing man can do for fun and health.. Blake you are huge part of it! And not only funny presenter but descent person who does plenty good for others. With positive vibes and honesty. I am big fan of you and gmbn.
Ah man! Blake's folks seem like such nice people. I can see why he's such a fine young man. Hearing his dad's accent made me really miss my people (moved to Canada from South Africa last year).
Catching up on past GMBN videos and came across this. As Blake is my all-time favourite presenter, I enjoyed this immensely. It is great to see such a person set out on goals and achieve the greatness he has become. I specially love his sense of humour. Maybe one day we will see a GMBN T-shirt with his "Beautiful People" intro on it.
I always like the meet the presenter videos but wow - this took that to a new level. Hard to believe Blake is only in his 30s but has had so much happen to him and such a career. As a dad myself I shed a little tear with the end part of his own dad saying how proud he is. With very very good reason.
Which GMBN presenter would you like to see next? Let us know 👇
Hardcore Pawn 😂😂 harrssshhhhh
Everyone!
Just do everyone from GMBN. 🤙
No exceptions! 😁😅
Doddy or Rich
Blake ... Again
Maybe there was on already but Neil would be interesting one to watch
Blake's the most humble guy in the world. 👍👍
Can't imagine gmbn without bingers
Why do they call him bingers? Lol
@@brokenlegz it's what Mr Ashton calls him 🤷🏻♂️
Nope Chad Broxh is
Blake's Mum is AMAZING!💗
i love how blake and his mum have the exact same laugh
"if you can't even bunnyhop"
Damn Blake is on to me..
What is this hopping bunny you speak of? :)
Mee too. But it is on the list for things to learn.
I jumped off a curb yesterday 🤣dam I feel king of the Roadies 🙈
Carl Wilkinson you jumped your roadbike of a curb?
Damn there must be a Sam Pilgrim somewhere in your genes!
Yeah
Blake MAKES GMBN so easy to watch. Addictive personality, funny, humble, genuine.
I don't why but Blake seems like the best presenter. He has it all. Great riding skills, funny personality and great teacher. I love him so much
Great guy, but he's married. Sorry, Pat.
Blake’s been shredding ever since he was a kid
Blake Samson
...is the best thing that happened to GMBN. 🔥
His unlimited energy gives ME motivation to further develop and practice my skills...
I always loved mountain bikes but I could only afford anything "rideable" not, until I was 19... (Now I'm 29)
I had to work really hard and save every penny, for that XC bike.
Also, never had a chance to ride as much as you Blake...
It was always work. So I don't have such skills...
BUT... !
I just got my first Trail bike just a few months ago.
All because of this amazing guy Blake!
I watch all the GMBN videos, my social media is just Mountain Bikes.
I want to ride everyday. I even literally dream of riding a bike... 😖
Hobby and passion turned into obsession. I just can't stop thinking about it.
I really wish to, one day, be like Blake.
And travel to Rotorua, Whistler and so on...
I still got 6 years right? 🤣
I have a lot to learn But I will not give up.
Hell yes
Blake makes everything fun and entertaining! I don't even have a mountain bike only a folding e-bike but when I see Blake, I click!
Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
I will definitely get an mtb soon!
No matter if it’s cheap as dirt, a mountainbike is the most fun you can have on a bicycle, ever!
Eventuell someday you have enough money to get a „decent“ mountainbike, but until that day just enjoy what you’ve got and ride the hell out of it!
The most limiting factor will always be you, not the bike!
(The exception from this rule would of course you being a pro rider, but that’s likely not the case)
Blake’s family is lovely...totally can see where Blake gets his personality 🤙
Met Blake, Martyn and Neil at Whistler a couple of years ago. There is a saying to never meet your heroes but I'm glad I did. 😁
Blake was super nice when I asked to have a photo taken with their group. Hope to bump into them again soon. 😁
Felix Falgui You are soooooo lucky
@@riptheguys3635 definitely a great experience. I checked the photo and it was just last year when I saw them. 😁

humble, that is Blake.....ah, yeah, he is freaking amazingly skillful
Awesome Felix!
People are saying that Blake is the best and I totally agree with that, but the editors today......
This video was top notch! Gmbn if you can see this, tell the editors that they did a great job!
Totally agree, One of the best videos on the channel
41 years old!! After leaving the army I was a bit lost and only just got into mountain biking in the bast 4 months!! Honestly it is the best fun for fitness and everyone you meet out on the trails are great so far!! What a life Blake has had!!
If I ever got anyone wrong it’s Blake! Can’t help but admire his grit and determination (even if I’ll never ride like him 🤣).
Me to, once I first started watching gmbn I thought he came across as condescending but it honestly couldn’t further from the truth.
@@domanater480 I just though he was too try-hard in the first video of his I saw... but actually he’s a god damned legend!
I stop biking 25 years ago and thanks to you I rediscover myself... Now I'm again with my beloved bike in the mountains. Thanks mate 🤘
Blake’s my favourite presenter, and I loved hearing all about his life.
You wrote 4 minutes after the video was released, so there is no way you watched 15m of this video...
maybe he has a time travelling delorean and traveled back in time to have his comment written sooner and more likely to get likes
You and everyone, the whole gmbn crew is good tho
Blake, you're the best! Love your humor and positive attitude!
Blake is my fav GMBN presenter!
I thought I loved Blake before, but now I know he used to play rugby... He’s the BEST !
What a fantastic career you've had Blake totally amazing and the support of a great family, your a lucky man indeed.
I knew I could hear a hint of Rhodesia in his accent when I first watched him on a GCN crossover vid. I like that he roped his mum into it, that's awesome.
Blake’s mum might just be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet all week what a legend! What a humble guy Blake is! Honestly so much love for the guy such a rad dude who keeps me so stoked and motivated to ride!!! Loved this!!

I love watching his videos because he always starts with “Welcome back you beautiful people!”
Blake makes my day better and happier. He's so energetic and he teaches everything in a fun way

Gave me inspiration after having open heart surgery and thinking I won't ride again but watching you for months soon got me going again
Wow, I hope your journey back to health continues Nick. 💪
@@benjybluehat ride on 👌🤞🤘🤟👍
I love how Blake starts his videos! “Hello you beautiful people!” Weird to say but he brings light to the world!
I have nothing but respect for Blake so humble and appreciative for the way things have gone for him, well done buddy you deserve it, you can feel the love he has for MTB awesome stuff
I find it cool how so many other presenters like Martyn and Chris (and also Sam Pilgrim) have all had a reunion with Blake as presenters for GMBN/EMBM
This dude is a “Supa Nice” bloke.
Blake god bless your energy and kindness. It transpires and it is very inspiring and warming, ot really is.
I’m 39, loved bikes all my life. But life got slightly in the way. However through GMBN I got the itch back, so in 2018 I bought my first ever full suss and never looked back.

Hey Blake I live in South Africa I’m 15 and I’ve recently started getting more serious about MTB. Love your videos keep them coming
Blake is the main reason I keep watching these videos, he's so down to earth, and you can see he loves the sport, I love his catchphrase, hope you never never change 🤘
Love Blake! Great personality, superb skills. Love that he's a family man, and how he interacts with his wife. Great role model!
Zimbabwe! Blake is such a cheery chap! I'd like to see more of Blake on his slopestyle Canyon!
Never stop being you Blake. You've always been an inspiration and will continue to be one. 🤟

That’s just too much detail. Too much
Ye
Just found this after loving GMBN. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Inspiring me to love all biking even more. Some day it'd be an honor to have a Cuppa or a Pint and share stories!
Blake can you teach us to do advanced tricks or tips?
I ride my MTBs mainly on road, few woodland trails and waterway paths but I call myself a MTB rider. I really love GMBN and all presenters they make me feel part of a community
Hey Blake love your presenting! Did you ever pick up any Afrikaans?
Sl4gyster Ek hoop hy het!

No disrespect to anyone else in GMBN. I have nothing but love for ALL of you guys. ✌
I can think of no better ambassador for the MTB world than Blake Samson. Thank you good sir for all you do!
