Have you ever built a simple ramp out of scrap wood? Let us know 👇

[@vimmivrome4675]

Yes:)a very dangerous one:)

[@vimmivrome4675]

Very instabile one

[@jenko9606]

I actually built one from the Blake builds series

[@Charlie_Broadbent]

I built 2 tiny kicker ramps a couple weeks ago there sick you go soo high of it like 3 feet so sick

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

Ha ha, just been told off by the old couple across the way for doing this on our estate with my neighbour’s sons. Apparently at 55 I’m old enough to know better🙈 but what else am I supposed to do with my DJ on a damp afternoon? It’s not my fault the boys next door came out to have a go whilst their Mum brought me tea & cake.....

[@frankiepaul9869]

Blake has got to go on an urban free ride with Sam pilgrim.

[@danielbrennan08]

inii

[@lachlanmtb7540]

That would be
*E P I C*

[@dhicon45]

They already did

[@TastyChevelle]

Yes please

[@doonhilla]

Is Blake the most talented all round rider on GMBN? I think so.

[@jarms5059]

I agree he's the best

[@gamingchance8575]

Yes he is the goat

[@johnsonjay60]

Tricks and handling yes for sure.

[@nickcsuki8123]

Yes

[@ghr7715]

Yeah

[@kool_dud8547]

Blake: do you reckon we could tuck no hander it?
Blake : tries 180

[@micaelpereira953]

Almost died! 😁

[@robbieb1254]

Blake is the only person i know that could dedicate a video to a piece of wood, and keep my full attention span and make me laugh. Love from Australia!!

[@MTNMAX88]

Blake is by far the best personality, most entertaining, and most skilled person gmbn has. Blake is so fun to watch and gave great inspiration for me and my little girl to build some ramps

[@florijn1212]

3:47 I was waiting for the GTA ‘wasted’ sound..😂
Nice vid Blake!

[@mathewadams2929]

Was coming here to say that

[@vimmivrome4675]

[@skiMTB]

Takes me WAAAY back! Much Thanks!

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed! 🤘

[@kevinoriol]

This video comes at a perfect time as my buddies and I are making plans to develop an area for riding. Any future videos on ramp/trail building would be great.

[@lachlanmtb7540]

That dirt jumper is crazy

[@stefandeboer6816]

Thanks Blake

[@nickcsuki8123]

7:09 Sam's typical cheer! Aaaaayyyy!

[@nickcsuki8123]

Underrated comment...

[@connorcampbell144]

Great video, this morning I built the Sam Pilgrim backpack mini ramp that fits in your bag, and sent it

[@justinrickard5972]

Your love for ride is amazing man. Always an inspiration to just get out and ride

[@ryandale]

This shows once again you can ride anywhere, just have to be a little creative

[@jackoboy2238]

Especially if your name is Blake Samson

[@DrJGang]

Sure, just helps a bit to be in Vancouver though

[@matttoms5753]

Love the energy Blake, got me pumped to get out on the bike tomorrow 🤟

[@LaVale-]

Started watching this video, half way through went and "built" myself a mini ramp from wood scraps. Great video :D !

[@didaccarbasa7676]

I remember doing this before going to school, early in the morning, picking scrap bricks and wood. You can learn soo much with that!

[@cezarmartins3489]

Blake was laying down Peter Griffin style LOL

[@thomasdadswell858]

Love these kinda vids, and blake is just awesome as always

[@aaroncargill7717]

This has really inspired me to try out some tricks in my backyard, thanks guys!

[@neilcheshire5726]

Amazing how much air and travel you get off that first little jump Blake 🔥

[@christoingram]

When Blake is taking about all the things he can do on that improvised kerb ramp, all I hear is Bubba from Forrest Gump "fried shrimp, boiled shrimp.." :D

[@BlakeSamson8]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jonanowak2475]

You have to get more attention

[@Drew-jj5pb]

Love your Slopestyle bike videos, keep up the good work guy’s!

[@micahsilvester6740]

[@benconnelly5246]

Blakey's getting proper smooth on the fakey

[@Seby-biketrial]

Please show us your bike cave plllllzzzzzz
Love it Blake ..... I’m always out looking around town looking for places to practice...., can spend a week on set of steps and a under pass with grass banks......
plz do a show on our bike caves....

[@arneolsson4435]

Very nice jeep in the background 👌

[@samvilla6290]

A great thing to do is to go to your local builder. They often have large pieces of scrap wood that are perfect for making jumps and stuff but not great for houses. I made 2 kickers, a couple benches, a bike stand, and a bike rack all out of scrap wood that I got from a builder.

[@loisbeigli]

thank you Blake for your spirited enthusiasm! i make ugly little wood kickers too

[@rasmusadventures6070]

Need to build one of the last one for my self! (But to the wife i’m going to say it’s for the kids 😉)

[@Benedekmajor210]

COOL

[@EM-nl6sg]

I like your bike!

[@MacLindsayJr]

thank you so much great video...
So since canyon bikes are in the USA what would be a bike exactly like that one it looks really sweet and what size is it cuz it looks like a nice size? thanks!

[@stujm8376]

Takes me back to my childhood, but I had a Raleigh Chopper, crashed loads….. and Blakey now CAN fakey…..

[@radxnmkiv3877]

2 DJ content in one weeks nice 🤤

[@darrenlaithwaite7810]

Great vid Blake, what make is your jump bike

[@granthickman_mtb]

Nice

[@gmbn]

🥈🏁

[@pexy1237]

Hmmmmmm a bit weird seeing BLAKE on a JUMP BIKE with REAR SHOCK after the last dirt shed show. Great video anyway Blake you are awesome! I'm gonna try building something like this for sure. Cheers!

[@Trail_Shreder]

His bike looks so smooth

[@charlesslwilson]

Strong

[@micahsilvester6740]

You need to this more often

[@jamielikestrees3202]

I feel like this video is being a kid 101. I remember that we would make all sorts of ramps as kids.

[@62adam_h26]

I live in that town!

[@boiing9274]

Sam Pilgrim's next video: URBAN STEP UP SESH!!!! (ON STAIRSETS OF DOOM!!!)

[@Cowboypt]

Here I thought I would see with a hardtail!

[@Pseudo-Z]

I could listen to Blake say "Winner winner chicken dinner" all day.

[@rossbarry7578]

How many times do I have to miss you recording here I was literally inside the building😪.

[@tomnickels]

i was literally just about to search up how to make a wooden ramp and then i see your new video

[@brokkoli27]

nice Jeep in the background

[@2508Nivag]

Blake Samson, legend, name a more positive person in mtb

[@jaimeramirez4766]

Hey Blake, What size are your Barzo's?

[@jamesongam4793]

Blake should make a tutorial on how to make a pallet jump

[@kboss9072]

This remind me of Sam Pilgrim's urban free riding videos😂great vid tho🤘

[@shit_for_shoes876]

I was literally at those steps yesterday

[@williamhampson9183]

Can anyone suggest a good 26 jump fork please? Trying to fix my bike up so I can ride jumps again, got a budget of £300

[@Schlegel_BageI]

Yeah and I learned how to180 of it scrap jumps are great.

[@michaelworrall6479]

This video is my chilehood

[@dhicon45]

You dont even need those Blake hahaha

[@UFOzNoJoke]

I've got a feeling Blakey Gone Fakie!

[@quirqy5199]

how high should the second last kicker be?

[@Charlie_Broadbent]

Ive built 2 tiny kicker ramps a couple weeks ago there sick you go soo high of it like 3 feet so sick

[@mtbmorgandffi]

Sic

[@dickenscider4677]

What kinda bike is that? seems like a 1 speeder?

[@PeterTvonK]

When there is no scrap wood around I use my shoe.

[@manosalamaniotis4461]

Well i see Jef The Jeep parked behind!

[@JoeAQuinn]

3:53 Blakie can fakie?

[@simonfranklin6434]

Are you wearing just normal jeans with pads under or are they built in knee padded jeans ??

[@bindol7076]

Once while I was riding on an underground parking lot I found a wooden ramp ready to hit and it was about 3-4 times bigger and steeper that the one at the beginning of this film

[@ATX-boys]

Yo what bike is that? i would really like to know

[@stikmon1507]

4:37 a v8 engine sound:D

[@ftrujillomunizaga]

3:45 😂😂😂

[@SuzukiKid400]

You have wood just “kicking around” on the streets!? In North America, a 2”x4”x8’ piece of untreated spruce is $10 (used to be less than $2 before covid).

[@Pseudo-Z]

Guys, what's the name of that chainstay tape with the little raised bubbles on it? It comes in a package that looks like a tape recorder tape? Doddy has shown it on GMBN Tech before. What's the brand called? Anyone? #askgmbntech

[@DCYZ125MX]

bunny hop assist on that first one

[@notyours6275]

Makes me oddly happy to see Blakey fakey
