Nico left the World Cup scene to pursue his love of hitting huge jumps on his bike! Since then, he's been one of the driving forces behind the development of the Fest series into what it is today! Run by riders, built by riders, for the riders and the crowds... Fest embodies the spirit of modern Freeride, making Vink an absolute legend 🤘

Top notch documentary on vink, he deserved it long time ago....vink is the most amazing rider to watch shredding, great work Blake
C'mon GMBN - I was going to have an easy night but now I'm going to have to go out for a ride ;-)
favourite gmbn video for sure
Having serious thoughts about buying a shovel to 'improve' my local trails to make them more crazy and fun! Damn!
Do it and send videos!
@@gmbn now that you guys have replied I'll show this to my local riding community here in Singapore and spice things up.
Such a good rider
Really dope interview, wasn't expecting it for some reason!
When I was a child, I spent 2 years of my life with Nico and Kristof riding that mtb-park (a pile of mud really :) ) in our village. It's amazing to see that they are still doing the same thing, building and riding trails!
Great video of the Belgian Legend 🙌
First ride in Mums tummy you gotta love this guy .
What in the goddamn ugly fuck
Taking my comment back without deleting it... Sorry for the trouble
Shima Marsha No problem what part of this great world do you live

Great job production team! :))
respect for Blake, he is flowing just as hard!
Lovely document
Please continue to make small videos of Rider Profiles, it is very instructive.
Greetings from the Galilee.

Possibly the BEST VIDEO you guys have ever made!
Great video. Love Nico's style.
One crazy dude!!! Great job GMBN, would love to see more vids with interviews like this 👍

Cheers and thanks Blake!!!
Funny enough I was watching one of your tutorials and I got the notification about a new vid and I quickly tapped on this one, keep up the good work.
thanks Blake for the killer content again. Nico keep that flame alive!
Nico is really an awesome guy. Super accessible and friendly, I had the chance to chill with him at a pump track in Malmedy while he was on recovery. He really doesn't consider himself a star ! A lopt of respect for that !
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. So well done. You guys are real pro's!!!!
Thanks Michelle Moore!
Ha! His riding reminds me of Lars Tribus and Aaron chase. So fun to ride with them. I miss Plattekill

Best video ever With Two legend Blak and Vink
best dude in the whole mtb industry!!
Great video, you should do more of these Rider profiles...
Thanks for the feedback Jay G!
Legend.
can someone help me with my bike?
my bike is a trek fuel ex 8 2017 29er
i am trying to remove all frame pivot screws so i can check the bearings and put lube because there is a crekaing sound coming from the frame.
do all of the bolts should be unscrewed counterclockwise in order to remove them?
Note:there is one pivot bolt creaking when i am trying to rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise
Nico Vink, Martin Maes, Thomas Genon, not to bad for a little country with no mountains ^^
No actual mountains but lots of steep hills in the east with some pretty technical tracks.
Awesome. But could you please so a how to build a GoPro spinny mount, thanks
Vink is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
It's not about doing something that "suits your personality". It's just doing what you're best at...
2:30 look at the wheel :D
legend
Chatel is soo sick
What a personality
i wish there would be a mtb downhill park or a trail near where i live man!
So sick, I feel the same about race tracks how the jumps aren’t that big
Niceeeeee
nice
His front wheel wobbling a little. :)
Hi gmbn just wondering what you usually carry spares and bottle with, do u use a big bag, bum bag or just strap all your shit to the bike
Good
I'm also from belgium hopefully i get as good as nico😂
no way XD
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!
Super star
we were like all kitted up and stuff. But Vink, he just need some protection and a pair of Vans
Someone at gmbn been watching Shane Dawson with that intro sound 🤔😅
Ohhh boy first tought
have any of you guys been to asia?
Blake I ve a question that maybe you can answer. If Niko has based his lifestyle on looking for the biggest jump and the best freeride actions, why he doesnt take part in rampage events?
He is 1 of the judges if I'm not wrong.
Hes done rampage, but chrashed hard. 2015 i think.
He built a crazy steep line at Rampage a few years ago, 2015 or 2016, with a catch berm at the bottom, he blew out of the berm and was injured... I agree they should invite him (maybe they do?) as a wildcard.
toooooooooooooooooooopppp
