I was a bit confused when you said the south of spain and then showed it upside down, haha.But seriously, a great video of you guys. I'd love to see more videos of this kind!
Great video GMBN crew! Question: If you were going on a mountain bike holiday near Malaga or Torremolinos what town would you stay in that is closest to the most singletrack?
Hey I`m from Málaga, hope you enjoyed the place and food of course. Could you please put the exact trail because I've never seen it, thank you and keep the good work.
GMBN you should go to Currahee GA. its a 32 or 31 mile ride i did it last year and i am only 13 years old. There is lots of very long climbs and long decents. It took 6 hours with my mountain biking team and it was a boat load of fun.(VERY TIERING)
province of Albay, Phillipnes offers a wide range of terrain perfect for extreme mountain biking. Whether you are looking for rough, steep and rocky terrain or tracks winding through rain forests, streams and fields - the intrepid mountain biker can find it in Albay. For instance, there’s nothing like mountain biking on the slopes of the most active volcano in the country - the ultimate adrenaline rush.
please GMBN go on a proper hardcore mountain biking trip to wales! stay in a proper old B&B or if you're really brave a tent and just go out into that luscious welsh shredding material! Me and my friend when to Rhaydar in wales and found the most perfect trail we've ever rode, its a great way to realise although bike parks are great, getting into those natural trails sometimes you just can't beat but just make sure you go in the summer because its no fun in the rain :/
You guys should come down to Australia and do the Mt Buller Epic. (That's the name of the trail). Although it's not 100% complete yet, so maybe give it until next summer.
This very well might be the best video on the channel to date! I don't know why I'm still apprehensive about running tubeless, is it really that much better? I replaced 6 tubes last season 4 were pinch flats the other 2 were thorn piercings! Yet somehow my brain is telling me running tubeless will give me more problems. After 2 seasons, my tires are shot. Going to get Ardents for front and rear, think I will buy a tubeless kit and do it all at once!
+Christian Moniz I really recommend running tubeless! I've been running tubeless for the past year or so and despite some real big and sharp areas I've crossed through that probably would've shredded my tubed tires!
Since switching to tubeless I've only had 2 flats in 5 years. The small little thorn punctures are sealed up by the sealant and the pinch flats are eliminated. A sidewall tear will require you to put in a tube but it will get you home. I usually go through a set of tires every 6 months or so. (I probably need to start buying cheaper tires with harder rubber😜). In any case I add new sealant every 3-4 months to make sure it is fresh and will plug new holes. Otherwise it is maintenance free. The very best thing about tubeless is being able to run lower tire pressures. The grip in the loose and in the corners is amazing. Once you've tried it you'll never go back.
Thanks guys! Glad you are all having great success with tubeless! MEC is no longer selling stan's no tubes, so once I find a place near by that sells it I'm going to convert so I'm ready for spring! So long as I don't have to buy different rims ofcourse
Come down under.. Australia =D I'd love you guys to come local around sydney.. but have a look over at flow mountain bike for some trail ideas (Tassie looks pretty decent)
I live in The Netherlands, and was thinking... Could you maybe make a trip to The Netherlands, and go mountainbiking here? And then especially in the city of Nijmegen, where I live. It is a lot of fun here!!!!
What’s the ratio of singletrack to fire road? Seems like the climb is all fire road. How long did that ascent take? And was the descent all singletrack? How long did that take?
What happens if you run out of tubes? you need to show how to fix it properly! I didn't see any kit to fix a punctured tube on your inventory guys! Awesome skills tho ;)
The video was awesome ;) In Poland we have a lot of trails around all country. Any difficulty from easy and moderate to difficult, very difficult and experts only. GMBN Poland ;D . Best regards. Ps. what is that music from 1:38 this is fantastic.
+Global Mountain Bike Network I tried but only allows 1 pic at a time and we all know a 102.5km ride does have more than 1 nice pic. So I send a mail with a gpx file and some pics
Hi GMBN friends, I am sure you had a great time down there in Spain. I am a Spanish follower of your channel, could you share more information about the route and trails you did? Maybe an Strava link or something would be enough. Kind Regards.
+Nico Ofner It depends on the stuff, you want to ride! You have to consider, that the Spectral is light, but the Strive has a great option with the shape shifter and obviously 1 or 2cm more of travel. So the descents will be more fun with a Strive and the uphill sections more enjoyable with the Spectral
+Nico Ofner Hey Nico. I have a Strive and love it and I agree that it depends on what terrain you ride. If you are an aggressive rider and attack the technical downhills, then the longer Strives give you great stability. I've been on some big climbing days and regardless of the bike, "enjoyable" is only a word I'd use at the top! Check out my channel for examples of the sort of terrain the Strive thrives in.
Great video guys !! next time you come spain i would like to see you riding on Ainsa - Zona Zero ... Round 7 Enduro World Series 2015 ..... pinkbike has named it the best enduro race 2015 !! I really would like to see you riding next my home :) Congrats for the channel !! super fan !!
Completely agree. I rode in Ainsa in December and it is spectacular. Have a look at my channel for a couple of clips from my weekend there including how to have a weekend including flights from London, car hire and hotel for just £300.
+Glitchy Pics I am very happy if you have liked the trails !! but don"t worry by the travel caues i like right here and i have all the trails at the door of my house .. Thanks anyway !! enjoy riding !!
+Igorfun That was actually shot at the top of the first climb which was 700m, we managed about 1200metres in total. We need to get a bit more epic next time I think! Neil
1,5 l of water is not nearly enough for a day trip. When I do multi day tours like >300km, I'll start each daay with my hydration system filled with 3l and 0,5 in my bottle. I'll most likely end up filling my bottle once more towards the end of the day. Considering a grown man of roughly 80kg should drink somewhere about 2l a day in normal conditions, 3-4l aren't that absurd with heavy physical activity.
hey guys, mmmmmkay! where do I find the area to get some good GMBN swag? I've been looking for some time now and cant see it anywhere. help. you guys have given me back so much now I needs to support your majestic offerings with "flying your colors"
"It's only flat on the bottom". That remark made my week! LOL
You should more videos like this, just you guys riding, lots of fun to watch!
I was a bit confused when you said the south of spain and then showed it upside down, haha.But seriously, a great video of you guys. I'd love to see more videos of this kind!
Now I want to go to Spain.
one of my favourite videos! was really good, nice bits of info and well edited. keep up the great work.
+Robert Sapsford Thanks Robert!
Loved this one guys. Fun to see you riding some sweet trails.
Great video GMBN crew! Question: If you were going on a mountain bike holiday near Malaga or Torremolinos what town would you stay in that is closest to the most singletrack?

+Hollis Prince same
I am from Malaga, I love your channel!!!
YES!!! Finally. Love seeing you pros riding and showing us the techniques on your videos. :D
Great video guys! I really think Scott is a great addition to the GMBN crew!
Im from Spain and I love your channel and all your videos.
Thanks for your awesome work
Good to see you guys shredding those trails...
Good save at the end Neil.
One of the coolest videos ever!
Moab, UT is the place for an EPIC ride. The whole enchilada with the Porcupine Rim. That's where you need to go!
+David Wallace I would love to! I am hatching a plan at the moment to visit Moab. Neil
Did The Whole Enchillada with my son in 2010 (12 at that time 😜) Best ride of our life!
We need one of these every week! And try Mont Tremblant for a ride like this. It's in Quebec, Canada
Good practical advice for day rides. Thanks!
Love these epic ride videos, more please!!
Awesome video, would love to see more of these with different trail tips along the way
worth to say maybe that there might be other riders an a trail so do your puncture repair of the trail and don't block it with 3 bikes 😂
+1
I was thinking the same
The best video you have ever done!
You should check out either Blue Derby in Tasmania Australia or the mtb tracks in the Adelaide hills in Australia!
GMBN you should go to Currahee GA. its a 32 or 31 mile ride i did it last year and i am only 13 years old. There is lots of very long climbs and long decents. It took 6 hours with my mountain biking team and it was a boat load of fun.(VERY TIERING)
You should do more of these style of videos. I like the 'vlog-like' style.

Hey guys I live near this mountain and was wondering which trail this is. Thanks
what brand of knee pads/elbow pads do you guys use/recommend. also what brand shoe?
Loved the video. Can you guys give me some advice vor buying a bike Strive or Spectral? What are the benefits compared to each other?
+Nico Ofner It depends on the stuff, you want to ride!

Can anyone tell us where exactly is this trail???
I have the same knee pads as Neil. GREAT ONES, imho!
great video! are u going to make more of these trail hunting videos?
+Juho Hiltunen yes, we have a whole series lined up...
Sounds good!
pretty awesome. anyone been in Tenerife? any good rides there? going there in May with the family but want to go out for some rides too.
You shoul come in Sant'antioco (Sardinia )
what tires does marc use? must not get them. lol
German ricewaffles on point 😂
You guys looked a little too fresh after climbing 1500m,I have my doubts....
+Igorfun That was actually shot at the top of the first climb which was 700m, we managed about 1200metres in total. We need to get a bit more epic next time I think! Neil
Awesome !...So I guess I should get two tubes instead of one ...
how do you patch or deal with a tubeless flat tire?
Our Young guns are going to Malaga on a training camp first week March. Care to share the gps track?
The climbing is the best part...
COME TO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, USA!!!
epic !

Please upload more Marc's head footage.
Marc was riding a hardtail?
Hi Neil what's the name of your bag you took reply
You can tell mark slightly has better skills and speed in his riding dew to his downhill career ✊🏼
Another way to know your headed in the right direction, you find many cameramen waiting for you!
Hahaha that last part tho made me laugh
Can anyone point me the name of the knee protection they're using. I'm trying to find a good pair that won't be intrusive while pedaling.
Why is Marc on a canyon not a Saracen
