What type of corner do you find the hardest? Let us know in the comments below!👇
Love my off camber downhill switchbacks, especially when they send me off into the brush..
Off camber tight slow corners. I'm going to take some of this info and see if I can put it to use today!
Switchback turn on a steep decent single track
The ones where you body check the ground
@@getyourgnarlon Same
This is kinda off topic, but I got my first full sus enduro bike a few days ago and I love it so far!
what is it
Nice!! We hope you're enjoying it! Safe riding!🤘

@@gmbn Thanks so much guys! I have been watching for years and you are definitely my favourite mtb channel. (I especially enjoy the presenter challenges haha)
Hey, so did I!! I got a used 2011 Devinci Dixon XP, it's an amazing feeling to have my first proper bike. Hope you're having fun!
Love every vid. I have no clue how you guys can upload videos at this rate. One of my favourite channels out there
Thanks so much for the support! The secret is having a great team of people behind the camera!😉
@@gmbn keep up the great work
Love GMBN Especially the great attitude in making EPIC MTB Videos 🔥🔥
Thanks so much, Leo! Safe riding! 👊
Love that Manitou Mezzer Pro, such an amazing fork.
As someone who struggled a lot with cornering whether it’s big park turns or flat sketchy turns, videos like this one help out quite a bit but it takes work to get to level and confidence that he’s riding with. Videos like this have made me way faster in xc an enduro races
This helps a lot. Awesome work as usual from you guys
Just started watching and that’s the most beautifully sculpted berm I’ve ever seen in my life.
Great to see Blake using his new hardtail, just got an orange crush pro and love it,
Lmao at the opening line! Blake is my fav presenter. What a crack up!!
Classic! 😂
Thank you mate!
Fun video, back to basics!
I got an old XduroNduro Pro a couple of weeks ago I've been riding it every day, your video has educated me as even though I've ridden bikes all my life I didnt know how to corner so Thank you Blake🙏🤘😎🤘
Love when blake is on the nukeproof for his vids
#hardtailclub
Thank you thats helping ! 😃
Cant wait to retry everything in les Gets bikepark this summer and hopefully get better !
Great video as always 😁
Glad to see you found this useful! That sounds sick! Have a good time out there! 🤘
@@gmbn Thanks, for sure ill do that ! 😊🙌
Blake doddy and neil are the best cheers
Cheers mate!!
holy smokes that scenery is epic!
Thank you, very helpful.
DAMN! Nice weather and so much blue sky!
Saalbach is such a brilliant place to ride! We can't wait to go back! 🤘
really love this video. thanks so much guys :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Blake finally you have video with hardtail, nice nice nice 👍
Thank you👍
this is good...more of this...thx bro.
I was so excited when see Blake with his hardtail
It's such a sick looking bike isn't it? 😅
So gorgeous place...
Thanks for that stuff! Please make a video about the GMBN's team bikes. Interesting to listen to each of you why chosen particular bike and what was done regarding updates and why: wheels, tyres, forks etc. Cheers!
Great to see you on the hardtail in the big country! Just wondering what tyres and size you are using on your scout? Is the bigger tyre (2.6) better than the 2.4 for the majority of riding?
Same with me I got one a few days ago and snapped the frame today
Hey bro ! A New hardtail ?!?!? Iy looks si good , a vidéo of présentation in soon?
Sweet hardtail man👍🏻
Manly made berms 💪🏻
3:10 come on, you just photoshopped yourself into a postcard! DAMN!!
I don't know why but I started laughing at "manly made" LOL
Love these vids just got my first hardtail but find it so hard to jump properly its a lot different from a bmx
Realy admire your skill boss blake. In fact i named my upcoming baby this september Don Blake😁😁😁😁💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nice, the Austrian shralps
Best greeting EVER 👍👍👍🤣
"Welcome back you beautiful people" will go down in history! 😂
The scenery is just great! Breathtaking! I was at the Global Bike Festival and cannot get tired of it.
I would change the video name to "types of turns" instead of "skills", as mostly you're saying " look forward", "find grip", etc. so not really explaining skills.
Cheers!
Totally agree. Lots of throw away comments like "If it feels like it will break loose, brace for it", "look ahead and get ready for what's coming up", "let the bike do its thing". Bit more work required on the content is needed. Not your best work GMBN
Beautiful place!
The Polish Mountain Tatras are very similar - but you cannot ride a bike here
Thanks Blake - Hardest corner for me? Flat loamy... How to carry speed?
Damn, he said something in German in the video and the Commentsection isnt flooded with german comments.. i am confused :D.
but great German you have there.
Greate video as Always, trying to get the Cornering right but still struggeling alot with loose ground. I think this vid helped me :D
Blake 🤝
🤝
Mind the material, too. I find sandy stretches most treacherous. 😬😆
You had me at the start, I thought I had clicked on the new GMBN channel!
Would you like to see a GMBN/GMBNaufDeutsch collab?🤔😂
@@gmbn definitely! My wife speaks German so as long as watch it at the same time, we should be fine 😁
Can we take a minute to admire that background in the intro....
New hardtail wow
Where in Austria was this filmed?
Blake it would be awesome if you could try out of Ragleys bikes… sponsorship???? The big Al is an amazing frame and it would be very cool to hear your thoughts on those bikes
I'm thinking of getting the Scout as my new bike,debating whether to get the 'Derore' and save some pennies, or go for the Elite,But SLX gearing...Hmmm...Ha !
I'd say get the deore one if you are fairly new. The drivetrain is great (i have it myself on my giga elite after i smashed the slx that came with the bike).
The deore build lets you save some Cash for trips/repairs/upgrades👍
Nice! What a great bike to pick! Both are really good specs, and will work just fine! 👍
I was thinking about BoBo’s video while watching this Blake🤣
Tôi rất thích chiếc xe.💪👍
Does anyone know what backpack Blake is rockin' in this video?
Blake is rocking the Camelbak M.U.L.E is this video! It's a brilliant riding pack for big days in the saddle! 🤘
@@gmbn
Awesome, will check it out!
Thank you for the fast reply! Cheers!
Aye whats the biggest burn you have ever ridden like height and angle
I see that Blake is on his HAAHHDtail.
The Nukeproof Scout was certainly popping in the sunny weather! 😉
A bit laconic... pity that you didn't came to 180° switchbacks which are from my pov the most challenging corners. I'm still fighting with them. I hate switchbacks.
4:30 What if u just go by grass😀😀
How good are bananas
Yewwwwww
First
He kinda sound like korg from thor
If your ever hiring a stunt man look no further I'm 32 and embrace falling Lol Peace team
hope you get to see a kangaroo and drink a Foster’s while in Austria!
Hm... sorry Blake, I don't get it. This is not a cornering tutorial. Important stuff is missing like leaning or where to look at in different stages of the corner.
