What else should Blake build in the bike cave❓💭 Let us know 👇
A spaceship 😇
A bike for himself that are made of as much wood as possible 🤘👌
Very fancy set of wooden handlebars in his favourite size
@@reincarnated5594 that's a broom handle then lol
A really old bike frame with as much high tech gear on it as possible and a top of the range frame (both hardtails) with loads o shite components on it and put them through their paces on same tracks etc etc 😁🤟🤙
20 years from now
*"Welcome back you beautiful people!"*
- Charlie Samson
Pretty sure his name is Boet because Boet means "brother" in Afrikaans
HARPERFILM then why does he shout Charlie?
@@fingram5343 Hmm true. He also calls him Boet on his Instagram though. Does that mean Blake has two kids?
@@harperfilm4379 I think it's a term like "kiddo" or similar.
In today's episode Blake builds his dream balance bike with the ultimate geometry and wheel size
Week two: jump progression with the little boy
Week three: north shore with the boy
@@M3T2W01f week four : whistler with the little boy
Week five : rampage my dodu
Week 5: dc train gap
Week 6: Darkfest with the boy
Week 7 : redbull hardline with the kids
Can we see Doddy review this bike on the GMBN Tech Show?
That! 👍👍👍🤞
Hey Blake, add a bench vice to the worktop, it will come in very handy.
He´ll keep that little bike forever and remember his dad build it for him for the rest of his live I hope. What a great project!
Get him a GMBN t-shirt and some pilgrips, then he’s ready to shred🤘
I swear Blake could be a carpenter. he is that good 👌💯
He'd be more suited to the joinery side of carpentry work, I don't think shuttering and framing roofs would be his thing, but definitely joinery!
I think the fact he's a perfectionist helps alot too, but I agree with you, he's pretty good.
He was a junior drafstman before mtb
I said the same last week 🤙
He probably was
Seth bike hacks could man he’s so good at that stuff
“Welcome back you beautiful people”
- Blake Samson
A wise man once said
"I dont need the forks"
he's got the best intro on youtube
A for AWESOME it makes me feel important
@@micahkruger8958 same but I’m not
A man building a bike from scratch so enthusiastically for his son. What a great father you are, Blake. Awesome chap!
Grim Donut episode 2 has taken so long there's even a kids version now
We all know they snapped the head tube off on the first ride and are too embarrassed to tell us.
No
Adam Morton its litterbugs still ok look at mike Levi’s insta
Oh yes
Hadn’t ridden mtb since I was 20, now I’m 37, and teaching my 4yr/old to ride + watching Blake, Martin, Doddy, Neil and the rest of GMBN squad has gotten me back in the saddle, riding 4 days a week on local trails and packing our backyard full of trails and features. You’re right Blake, CZcams is a great inspiration. Thanks boys!
To Blakes kid ten years from now: Your dad is an absolute legend!
Love this! The Blake builds adds another side to the mountain bike culture that is so much fun and inspiring! Keep em coming!
great build blake! as a carpenter though, seeing you chisel towards your hand was terrifying!! one slip and you could have a really nasty cut- I'd recommend a bench vise (can be had cheap second-hand, look on facebook marketplace or ebay) or even just a couple of clamps to hold things down (can get them dirt cheap from any diy/tool seller)
on a similar note, definitely wear a dust mask when working with power tools or sanding in a small unventilated shop like that! wood dust plays havoc with your lungs over time, and a proper mask can (literally) be a lifesaver. toolstation's disposable ones are a bit janky but fine for casual work- I'd recommend getting one rated at FFP2 or above. stay safe and happy building!
great advice mate!
Blake hats off man! What a superb idea! Hope the little man loves it!
Wow looks cool, talk about long,low,slack😂
First ever custom build & another New Bike Day for a little Charlie !!! So Awesome !
gotta love blake
My heart cant take how cute that thing is!!!!! 😍
Blake: "I'm gonna build something"
Brooms nearby: "Oh Sh*t, here we go again!"
Very cool seeing Blake so excited about building Little Mans bike. Already a great father!
This is freaking genius. Im loving the Blake Builds series, its a great addition to the rest of the content. Also, you inadvertently went with my favorite color combo on a bike with the Grey and green/yellow.
I love how hyped Blake is to make something for his little kiddo!
I was really disappointed to not find another bike cave build episode. Until I started watching. Nothing will ever top this.
More bike cave updates coming this weekend and next!
I am a carpenter, and this is actualy.... Fantastic !
You’re a good man, Blake. My kids are all beyond the balance bike stage, but it was cool watching you build this for Charlie.
He should build a fully with 15 millimeters of travel
Louis Fuess yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
That's basically just modding the fork on a Kokua - they're already soft tails.
Facts
Aww so cute. You can tell how excited Blake is to be building his son a bike. Such an amazing father dude :)
Honestly being Blake's son would be amazing because you would literally get the best bikes and free gmbn merch
I am looking forward to seeing Neil do his bike cave. Doddy and now Blake have amazing caves. Neils defo to be next!
He will get the hang of it Blake. My son just turned 2, he’s had his about 2 months now and he’s all over the place with it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Balance bikes are amazing, used them for both my kids. My 2nd kid was riding a pedal bike at 2yo. Now at 3 going off mini ramps, down mini trails.
Unfortunately had a fall on a flat path due to he wind, didnt expect it and broke his arm. He can't wait to get back on it.
Endless talent by Blake, never ceases to amaze me, amazing work.
Great build Blake, little man is stoked on his new (EBB) Enduro Balance Bike. 🤘🏻
Blake is quality. 😂🤣 Keep up the good work Blake 👍. You keep making videos and we'll keep watching 👊👍
Blake you should build a big balance bike for you and then take it to the trails after lock down. love the Blake builds series
Make the most of this little man! He'll be riding 29s before you know it. :-) Also, might want to invest in a bench vice too.
Yeh too right, mine takes me out for rides now - he's 36!
Nice, and you can slowly upgrade the frame by just building a new frame occasionally. Until the day finally when the wee lad gets his first real bike. What a day that will be.
Blake your energy is contagious! Fabulous man! I just can't deal with your son not having a seat man. You should also get your worktop clamp bru. You've got everything else.
Me having a bad day:
:(
"Welcome back you beautiful people!"
:)
You're great Blake, keep doing this please! Might be interesting to build a service bike stand or even a bike hang system in your cave.
Awesome work Blake... fits the little man perfectly...
I don't know Who is happier you or your son, He will be so proud to have a dad like you.
Next proyect would be a wooden berm
I just want more Blake....
Blake epic ride, Blake bikecamp, and I wanna see Blake jump
Wow, amazing video as always, keep up the great work!
Blake is like the coolest guy ever..... Just, the coolest
Damn, with that head angle he should be shredding techy descents in no time.
Haha mixing glue and saw dust to fill the cracks is the woodworkers equivalent of "A grinder and Paint make me the welder I ain't".
OMG best idea ever! To clean up the sawdust, you could have a long tube coming off of a vacuum cleaner and put the tube in the floor board things under the shelves. Drill so large holes in the tube and then when you need to, just scrape the sawdust off the work top, hit the button, and it sucks it all up! You should give it a go!
Blake Builds are the best
Blake that balance bike is so cool. I bet you could start your own bike brand now.
Absolutely 100% awesome Blake. Cudos for wanting to get it spot on for the little man. Well done.
Silky smooth paint for those silky smooth trails 👍👍👌
Lovely sentiment in this video. Brought a wide smile to my face.
Gr8 job !
V 2.0 with adjustable head angle and a flip chip for adjusting the wheelbase.
Great video. Have fun on wheels with your entire family.
The bb headset is ingenious 🤘🏽your little man will be in crankworks soon
This is so cool. Kid will love you for eternity. Keep them projects coming...
Best Blake Builds ever!
Wow what a great dad building a bike for little man. Great result, he's going to have a lot of fun on it.
That was fantastic, so so so slack! Bloody adorable too!
Awesome project. And more than that, the energy you brought to it and pure joy was infectious. Keep up the great work!
I love Blake's mad scientist vibes.🤣
The background music is fantastic!!! Good work guys
I know Blake is always so funny and crazy excited always, but new watchers would think he is going crazy from quarantine.
Blake had the super good coffee for this one.
Yes , get it in the bike vault “ super nice “ 👍
Love the lockdown vids
Ride Little Man Ride and you will be Daddy;s riding buddy soon !! Cheers from Canada East Coast .
Been waiting this morning to see what the build would be today and I’m not disappointed! I wanna make one for my little girl now 😎 awesome work as always Blake 🤘🏻
at 8:49 his laugh sounds like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys.
That turned out amazing! Great job Blake!!!!!
Dad goals
How cute. Your son is adorable.
Lucky cute boy and a great father too!
That is awesome, good on ya Blake.
that is fantastic and alot of work but Charlies face makes it worth while!
We need blake builds foreverrrrr
‘He’ll probably outgrow it’
Yh he probably will, can’t see him flying down Whistler on it when he’s 25 years old.
you rock! that was so much fun.
Blake can make anything entertaining
You are awesome Blake.
Top dad skills right there 👍🏻
you should add a vice to the bench, it will make everything so much easier and free up your hands
beautiful what you did with your son he is the happiest nice video..
Blake is going crazy
How adorable!
That's awesome Blake. Now he just needs to make an adult sized version in aluminium with hydraulic disc brakes and front suspension (hard tail of course) and enter it in a soap box derby.
Awesome job Blake.
Such a joy to watch your videos, keep it up!
What type of cretin would dislike this video?!?
It was awesome. Well done Mr Samson! Your little man is so cute and you are made of win!! 👍
Sick geometry man🤟🤟
Norco run bikes are sweet. My Boy who just turned 1 can get on it just fine!!
What a cool bike, one lucky fellow. 👍🏻🤘🏻
Somehow this bike is waaayyy cooler than any hyperbike I've seen in the last year 🤔🤔🔥🔥👍
bolt through axels and a slack head tube i like it....just wished after a 19 minit video we got too see blake shred the thing
Love these 🤘🏽
It look soooo beautiful!!!
That's class 👏 👌 🙌 👍
That was a sweet balm to watch.
