Do you ride with your kids?
Absolutely! he little ones are always so positive. Never a bad day when I'm out on the trails with my lil dude
I would if I had kids.
I would if I had children đ€.
It's truly beautiful to see you both with your children have a blast great fun so đ warming tođ.
Big Respect to you both much Love Respect Kindness To You all
From Paulđđ
I am the kid
@Luke Anderson [U2M] oh Iâm just like you i was responding to the main comment
That "droppin in" was too cute!
And wholesome
I saw that part right when i saw your comment. And yes very cute
Ohhhh Lil Blake saying "Dropping innn" melted my heart
The cutest gmbn episode.
4:10 "Dropping in!" Such a great video guys!
"Let's do mud.. let's do mud... droppin in" ... Blake was never that cute I'm sure. That sound bite needs to be used in future show reels.. AWESOME VIDEO!!
Should stick a doll on the bike in place of your kid and send it down some gnarly stuff :D
Deadset Trails... see this:
czcams.com/video/jj0CmnxuTaQ/video.html
Sounds like a Danny MacAskill vid we all love... :)
That "OK mud!" and "dropping in!" from little Blake were too cute!
As a father of a 5 year old and a 1 year old I place my stamp of approval on this video...so fun seeing you guys out for a ride with your kiddosđ€đŒ
Now we know the most repeated phrase in Blake's house is "Shower and a poo"
âNeil and Blake both have kids of their ownâ that seems like a very very carefully written sentence đ
Good point, if you didn't watch this channel regularly, you'd think they were married to each other.
@@TimMillernapavalleyfilmworks so what if they were.
@@Cous1nJack i knew that was coming...đ. It doesn't matter, they are both married to women cornwall. So PC and so sensitive this new generation of kids. Relax people enjoy life.
@@Cous1nJack no need to start a fight over them being married or not itâs a fricking biking with your kids video
Ikr lolđ
The kids are the reason I got back into riding after 16 years. Had to break out into a run to keep up with them on their bikes, so figured I may as well join in the fun. Best decision I've made this year.
I hope you're still riding and having fun.
I hated cycling the first 15 years of my life but within a week of getting a rather good bike (~400âŹ) from my older brother, I loved it.
A decent bike can make a massive difference.
I use a Shotgun seat for my 3 year old daughter and a Cleary Hedgehog with knobby tires for my 5 year old. We go mountain biking all the time and they love it!
Edit: I have a full face helmet for my daughter... I've had visions of her mouth hitting my bars.
Awesome! đ€
I love riding with my son, so much it inspired me to create my channel. My favorite thing to do is to put a gopro facing towards my son and seeing and hearing all of his reactions.
This so far is got to be the best family bike riding I have seen with friends
And look how much fun the two little ones are having
1:59 When Blakeâs kid said pedal It was the cutest thing ever
Iâm under 13 but this is the second time Iâve watched this, simply just because I like it đ
I'm just waiting for my grandson to get big enough to come for a ride and your video was massively helpful for when the 10 month old gets a little bigger, 2 should be a good age to shred with his pops, thank you for great advice I can remember to implement into our day đ
At 2:07, look at those forks!!!đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łlittle fox shox!!!!
I was waiting for this:
Neil: and this is how you take your kid on a nice leisurely ride.
Blake: watch me do this massive jump with my kid!
Nice to talk to you guys at North Nibley last Saturday.. we even managed to get in shot twice, sorry! đ
This is the best video out yet! As a grandfather who rides this is truly inspirational. Well done all!
Wonderful video! It was great seeing the kids (and dads) enjoying themselves. Including the kids' comments makes this video priceless! Fabulous!!
So so cute. Great job guys....and Blake and Neil too!
Genuinely heartwarming, lads. Keep up the good work.
These are the cutest kids ever!
That's a very cute and warming subject. How endearing! May the parents be inspired to take them kids out.
These kids are amazing
#GMBN Truly awesome to see you and your families out for a ride. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love love love this vid guys. Went through this with all my kids. All of whom are confident cyclists now. đ
Little bit disappointed that Blake wasn't sending table tops and whipping it with the nipper on board! And Neil, surely you could fit some BMX truck nuts instead of cranks for poor Lucas so he can keep his feet up! đ€Łđ Nice one.
Great video guys im glad to see you spend time with your kids and together again. Looks like it was a good day!
Uplifting way to start the day. Way to go dudes đ
i wish i had this as a kid!
This is a brilliant video.
Went straight from a balance bike to a second hand Islabike with my daughter when she was 4 and she learnt to ride in an afternoon. Now, a year later, we went on a 10km ride yesterday. Most important thing is the supply of Fruit Pastels to cheer her up when she wants a break or falls off. She loves muddy puddles too!!!
Cute!!....I love that they included Lucasâ voice as part of the video. Oh! And listening âDropping in!â was the best đ
Thanks guys! I need this content
Brilliant video .great advice .small rides, fun ,,,
I usually poo then shower but hey heâs still young and learning.
I got my 6-year-old daughter riding after a lot of trouble learning. She became an absolute shredder and I decided to take her to my local trail. We were going down a fire trail with a little bit of a dip that led to another uphill, she turned around to me and said, "watch this daddy, I'm going to pick up some speed"
Right around the bottom of the dip her back wheel started fishtailing and she ended up face first in the gravel....
It happened so fast all I could say was, "wait hold on" and she was gone.
She was okay and got up and rode back to the truck just fine. But it was definitely a pivotal moment. I could see her making a decision in her head if this activity was worth the pain it required. It's a realization we all have to come to but I'm glad she chose to continue forward with it.
Amazing video guys and too many great moments to mention, great advice too đ So awesome to see the young frothers loving it đ€
Leaving brakes on and taking crank off is genius move
Yup, got to agree with that! My daughter was shredding her balance bike but once on a peddle bike things went backwards.
I thought that too! Brilliant
@@stuartmoseley same with my boy.
Yeah Yoann Barelli had it has a recommendation Run bike > Bike without pedals > Full on bike. That's how he got his daughter to ride bikes :)
I was waiting for this since i saw the fb myday... Glad to already see it
Neil's little one is a spitting images of him and Blake kid is so adorable.
Also shower and poo
Yes, saw this on Instagram and been waiting so long
What an awesome video! I love Blake's mini saddle and bars
My son started off on a 6v quad at 8 months old and now at 3 years old he's riding a pocket rocket. I absolutely love riding with my boy. I'm about to pick us up some dirt bikes soon. I just put him on the bike with a helmet and sent him on his way. đ
And the little fellas had hard hats on good on you lads. Nice one
Thanks guys! Another great video! Been thinking how best to get my little guy out on the trails without mom losing her mind... now I have a video to show her that it can be done!
This is ace.love it.đ
I love the Shotgun seats! I have one on my 2020 Levo and my Mrs has one on her Enduro Expert, can't recommend them enough! Keep up the great videos guys!
This is one wholesome video â€ïž
fun and freedom. it starts young.
wise words! very well put video! cheers
Best GMBN video yet.
I can't wait to do this with my little man đđČ
2 cool dudes there and I'm not talking about Blake and Neil đ
Your boys stole the show guys đ
Dropping in by mini Blake đ
I ride with a tag along on my bike and my youngest lives it, just got him a bigger bike for Christmas too as he out grew his 1st one quickly
Great video #GMBN đ
CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE FOOTAGE UNIQUE RIDING STYLE FROM OUR LITTLE KIDS đâïžđ
That was hilarious and cute!! I love riding with my little girl in the bike trailer...
I just bought my first piece of mercj from you guys!!
Aaawwwđ what an adorable video!đ
The nicest MTB video!!
đ some kids can really do crazy trails on balance bikes. Awesome!
Aaaah shower and poo đ€đ€ that's also my favourite part of mountain biking đ€
I loved watching this with my little rippers, aged 4 and almost 2.
The eldest loves shredding the blue trails, with the odd tie up the hill. And his little brother is keen to get out on the Mac Ride.
My 4 year old won't touch the bike anymore, she loved it a year ago but now won't even go near it. How do you get them back into it?
This was so great đđ
So cute!
THATS SO CUTE!
Yes ! A video that is totally relevant to me !
Literally did this Saturday.. towing my toddler around and my daughter riding beside us in the dirt and mud.
Riding with kids is absolutely fun! My kid says he'd rather MTB than play video game now!
We've gone from a kick bike to 16" "mtb" to 18" bmx to 24" GT, then the latest upgrade has been a 2005 Transition Bottlerocket.
I've learned that there's a huge gap in quality bikes for kids 9-14 yr age. Either you got a 24" hardtail or an adult sized 27.5". Gotta have the right sized bike to keep them progressing! Got my kid hooked on black diamond trails and working on jumps with style.
Bring back the 26ers!
Haha this is awesome!!
Uggghhh it's winter in Canada no more biking till spring , hope u guys enjoy riding over there xx
Yeah! I want my girl to shout "dropin in" , too. Need to get that seat!
Amazing videos the kids were shedding
We have the âMacRideâ, similar to the shotgun one. So simple yet so good đ€
Iâm not there yet as my lad is too small but he loves Daddyâs bike and loves a trip to the bike shop already! Heâs a bad influence pointing to all the expensive ones!
I cannot wait for our first ride together!
My 2 yr old was awesome on his balance bike and even doing the local pump track with a push on the steep sections. I got him riding his new pedal bike just before his 3rd birthday and also noticed he started to lose interest in going on his bike. I took the pedals off but it wasnât the bike heâd had all that fun on before. Wish I hadnât of pushed it in one way but heâs slowly coming round to the new bike now but itâs just something to be mindful of. What might seem fun for you isnât necessarily what they see as more fun.
i love it.That is so cute. đ
Please donât murder me with so much cuteness
Cute children guys! đ€đŒ
So cute
The shotgun ride is a great bit of kit. If they are still a bit small for the shotgun ride Thule Yepp Nexxt mini is a good seat.
I have learn that its important to not ride in evenings when bugs come out and might hit the small people in thier eyes. But apart from that its super fun to get out and ride with your kids!
"Love it !!"
So beauty video
4:10 Dropping iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin !!!!!!!!! to 4:16 Awwwww!! CUTEST EVER!!!
Might have to pick up a shotgun seat soon for my youngest. I really recommend the followme tandem adapter for helping children to learn to ride their own bikes and transition from balance bikes. After 4 or 5 rides on the followme tandem at a gentle speed they just get it. I think when they start they don't realise that you need a bit of speed to balance, and they are scared of any speed. The tandem bracket reduces their fear of speed massively. Also means you can control them safely in traffic on the road.
I would recommend skills parks for riding with kids because it has fun and progressive features for all skill levels and ages. It will also teach them valuable skills for the trails
GOOD VIBS SPOTTED đđ great vids . dropin in đđ
Little one says dropping in - love it! I can stop my son saying Oi Oi...
Hi GMBN thanks for the great video would it be possible to give a bit more info on tow ropes and if possible a home made one e.g. what is a good length and whether you need bungy in there and also any quick release ideas? Thanks that would be a great help.
Could you do a review for some of the kit and gear available , i.e child seats kidde carriers etc.
Would really appreciate some ideas of what is good, enjoyable and works âșđ
oh my God they are both so incredibly cute.
So fun a great
Itâs a family affair!
Awesome
my son has a norco fluid fs1 2.0 for his upcoming birthday he doesn't know about. I completely agree don't force your kids !!! Let them go at their own pace and coach them
Blake kid was adorably with droppi in
We have done 90% of this video raising Crosby and now he loves to ride! Come check out some of his videos.
Iâm a adult and still hate riding up the hills đ think I need someone to share their snacks and tow me up
