Blake acting "negative" was hilarious. He seems like such a generally upbeat guy.
Still waiting for his Oscar
it's hard for Blake to seem negative on camera
Blake seems so nice he can’t even pretend to be negative 😂
When I turn on GMBN and am not called "beautiful" it just isn't the same.
....Hey beautiful!....
It's 3am, I have an exam later today, but this is more important.
it is what it is
Best of luck buddy
just study
How did the test go???
@@tomdebomb8845 the optimist in me says it went well. But reality is I have no clue 😅
Please please promote more MTB trail good manners. It's so important for us newbies to come into a friendly atmosphere and not be intimidated by the more skilled riders. Having said that, i found that MTB guys and girls are the nicest out there, always accepting guys like me getting in the way trying to learn and giving us space and time. Huge thank you for being patient everybody🙏🤘
Bikers ain‘t surfers, ey!
@@MrSchwendinger I might try to learn surfing as well, I hope surfers are sound people🌝
@@calinr1686 Well, as always „it depends“. I feel, when I used to surf, and that’s over more than 15 years now, there was already much more “localism” than in mtb nowadays, even with the growing number of riders. The thing is, the trail stays the same and everybody can use it. When somebody is faster, you just let him/her pass. good waves might be scarce, and in the end there might be space for one surfer and there will always be a more experienced one than you... Nevertheless it’s a great sport, so go try it out.
@@MrSchwendinger I see what you mean and that's a good point that I never thought about. Just went with the idea that the sea is a big place but I understand completely what you mean. Thanks for the heads up
If you insist on not carrying tools, tube, etc. then carry money to reimburse the person who stops to help and gives you their tube etc.
That'll teach you quickly that it's cheaper just to have the parts on hand 🤣
It’s funny watching Blake try to be angry because he’s naturally such a good guy
I am almost certain that Blake is a cartoon brought to life. ....It explains so much about him.
I like how wholesome Blake is. He seems like such a genuinely good guy who you'd want as a friend
He strikes me as the kind of dude who'd give his last spare inner-tube to a rider in need.
Love the ABC idea, I use it while diving as my buddy check; Air, Buoyancy, Clips and now I can use it on my bike ride :D
Ayyyy fellow diver here as well!
@@terr256 Trying to get 'Bruce Willis Ruins All Films' to fit for MTB is a stretch though :)
love the idea that do not leave a friend behind you.
Wise words from a “Beautiful” man. PEACE!!!!!
C also stands for cockpit. Check your stem bolts the handle bar clamp
Another good habit is not to congregate at the bottom of the trail and be in other peoples way at the end or block their exit....
Who can be negative when you are mountain biking?! Any day on a bike is a good day in my books!
That's so damn true
going down in the mud and getting all soggy and cold can do it 😂
Well.when you get back with a broken arm and broken legs maybe not so great.
Or something what happened to me: rode 500 meters, over a piece if wood. And well it fucked my derailleur hanger 😂
@@Flow_121 You broke your arm and leg?
@@MrNobodyMoto nonono haha i broke my derailleur hanger haha. Never really broke andy body parts in 4 years. Quite lucky actually 😂
A lot of people stop when you're having a mechanical/medical to check you're ok
@5:01 "This is Not my van, but I bring it with me!" 🤔🤣🤣🤣. Blake is the man/Bloke! God bless brother..
there is bad weather if its so rainy and has been for like a week straight and you will destroy the trails if so go for an urban ride
I think I might need to go wash my bike 😂😂
Me to
Ive read from more than one mechanic that the worst bikes were the ones that were never cleaned or washed. But the second worst were the ones that were washed too often and too aggressively, driving out lubes and driving in grit.
Wash the exterior lightly, with a gentle hose squirt, NOT a high pressure stream. And toss on some water dispersant when you're done. I make my own with 91% alcohol and mineral oil. Basically a less toxic WD40.
"Everyone's beautiful, everyone." And, that attitude comes across in every video. It's why I watch. Thanks!
6:15 anxiety moments. Then you go the wrong way and end up getting completely lost.
You are loved here in South Korea. You just pointed out two bad habits that I thought were my achievements.
i love him too ! from s.korea
My man. More people need to know these unsaid rules. My buddy and I were riding one time and he just left me way behind in his 7k bike and his strava app running. Like dude... I didn't know you wanted to break records today. Wtf. I just wanted to ride and practice a few jumps.
I used to ride off road but I mainly trail run now, and I must say I haven't meet a bad rider yet thankfully. Keep the great vids coming Blake.
You are so rad my dude, I appreciate your excitement for riding. You are an inspiration to me. Stay awesome!
Welcome back beautiful Blake, your face and vibe is instant like✌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Just the best vids... Keep up with the good work!!!
Fantastic episode mate, well said!
Best video yet - Thanks Blake!
Great video as always!
Good refresher and thanks for going into detail for the gubbin's box.
Today i did my first mtb trail on a cyclocross bike. Im used to road cycling and allready felt so much more positivity radiating from other mtbers who are having just way more fun. Loved it!
Very good and cool video. Blake explanations are very well presented!
Man loving the content at the moment keep it up
Some serious Bob Ross vibes in the end there! 😂
I thought the same !
You seem like a solid dude Blake! Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
Real talk that, Blake, real talk. Spreading good trail vibes
@gmbn Stopping in the middle of a trail and leaving your bikes on the trail and/or standing on the trail. If you’re stopped stand off the side of the trail.
Must be snowboarders who have taken up mountain biking
Yeah I always put off to the side if I can. Like the furthest place away from the trail. I also pull in to the side when anybody is behind me. 😎👍
That blue canyon is super sick 😍
The editing in this video is fantastic
Seeing Blake running made my day
Everyone is beautiful! Love it
Blakes a unit 💪
A good habbit i have is helping friends repairing their bike's and even give them part's if i get something new.
I like your organised setup Blake! I sooo need to sort out a box for the boot of my car!
love you man
YES IVE BEEN WAITING
Thank you!
My biggest pet peeve on the trail is when you have a group of people and you give a heads up and say rider, and they freeze like a deer in headlights and stay in the middle of the trail.lol So easy to just move to the side! lol Most people that hike a lot know this already and know the trails that are frequented by mountain bikers.
woah i think this is my fav video from gmbn.. since im new into mountainbiking.. and this video teach me a lot to be a good mountainbiker 😃
Are you addicted yet buddy?
@@christiandyrvig5789 yes.. but i need friends 😆
Great Vid Blake with humor 😂
nice love the vid
Yeah sick vid!
that's quite wholesome!
“Having a bad bike is a bad habit!” Haha I love you Blake gaffs aside you’re positive energy and can do attitude inspires me to get out there and be true to myself. Keep being awesome! You guys at GMBN have helped me through this wretched pandemic in more ways than one. Great content. Keep being such a beautiful person!
Yeah. “Bad” was meant to be dirty bike
@@BlakeSamson8 all good! I love you’re videos! Keep being awesome.
Ps sorry for the delay I was all.... Blake Samson, gmbn presenter, responded to my comment?!? 🤯
I need to definitely look after my bike more, especially in the winter, I do tend to leave it muddy for a few days before washing. Probably shouldn't admit that 😂
I think Blake would agree just simply thinking of the other people out there on the trails whether or not in our group. The experts were struggling beginners at one time and we are all a work in progress. Being nice and helpful to folks doesn't make one weak. Thanks, Blake!
Thanks for the video B! But, I must say it was weird seeing you run. 😂
Blake for Prime Minister.
Love your attitude to everything dude.
Love Blake
Even the worst trails are an absolute blast.
you always wait for the slowest guy to get up the hill, and as soon as he gets there. Dropping in ! haha , suffering never ends
That is the life hahaha
If you stop for a chat/waiting for a friend/mechanical issue - do it on the side of the trail, no need to block other riders...Love the black Ninja / Mugger running Blake suite :)
Oh for sure I prepare for weather conditions and other stuff and thats my best and worst enemy, if something doesnt go as plan I get a bit mad but after 5 min everything is right😂
How is it possible to be negative on such a bike, lol.. Great video as always Blake, keep me smiling haha
just general good thinking is to know the trails or look at a map, you need to know where you are going, also pay attention to the direction of the trail
Love that bit about negativity 👍👍👍😀
Top video jajajajaj now feel motivated to get on the trail mzself, what gest me going the longest while bike is *delta parole* or other rokk music!
#BeKind always!
What the Hell ,
you beautiful people!!!
I Smile every time Blake! 👍
Call out to riders from a decent distance that you’d like to pass. It sucks when someone rides up onto your back wheel before announcing that they want to pass.
So funy , makes my breakfast better and better
On top of tools and spare parts, Its always a good idea to bring a first aid kit.
When I see good habits, I click
A bad day on the Trails/Roads is better than a good day at work.
If it looks like I'm going to catch up to someone I tend to pull over and wait a few minutes. I also do the same if I get to the trail the same time as other riders. The only time I try to pass is at a bike park.
My golden one is help each other out, no matter the skill or discipline. One day you might need help from the Good Roadie or might meet a dude who is willing to be your MTB Yoda. Pass it forward. I love fixing bikes and teaching kids how to maintain their kit. It's an uplifting feeling knowing the future of the sport is being nurtured and helped by is old farts.
As for the slow guys, I'd rather a slow run which ends with both of us reaching the end than to see someone panic and scramble out the way. Hell, I've been that slow guy and the absolute legend behind me gave me cornering advice after the run.
Great video! Don’t gather at Trail exit or entrances when resting. Don’t litter, ever! Always wear a helmet! Yes always
I pleased to say that I have generally found MTBer's and XC riders to be a pretty friendly bunch on the trails. If you're stopped to catch your breath, you usually get asked if you need help. If they want to pass, I usually hear "On your left, when you get a chance". I was a road rider for the majority of the cycling thus far, and Iwhile I have met some great people, I've run into a lot more negativity and elitism there. As trail riders, we are considered the Hillbillies of cycling community and I'm good with that if it means chill people who want to share a beer after a ride as opposed to a banana and a bottled water.
Ayo! Blake wit the positivityyy.
Keep the trails clean.
Bad habit number 6.1: Going to the trails on your car. Get a backpack and/or find a good hideout and/or make a storage house with your friends at your local shredding spot. That way you can leave the backpack at the site and enjoy some good descents. Make sure to build your legs on the ride up.
Blake really struggles to be negative. Such a happy chap.
Blake makes me think of Korg in Ragnorak
yes we are all beautiful, blakey my mate
i do A B C D E F. A=Air B=Brakes C=cockpit D=Drover train E:Electronics F=go have FUN
🤣🤣 great love it
Most fun I have is on bad weather days.
I wanna put the last quote from Blake as my wallpaper, please share a full res screenshot!
That look at 2:39. I didn't know such an expression was possible when riding a bike.
This is not my van... 😂😂! I would love a trail like that
I see so the trick is keep telling your self it's hot when it's cold. Well be careful many people die of overheating while attempting that.
Do you guys sell any Blake’s on the gmbn store? I’d love to pick me up a Blake they’re a hilarious bit of kit!
i'm 54 and just got my 1st real MTB! wahhhayyyyy, hope i don't fall off
“Having a clean bike is a good habit having a bad bike is bad habit” 😂
0:27 .. having a bad bike is a bad habit .. ref : Blake
I realy agree with you lad ..
i would even say .. " It's a very bad habit "
Cheers !! ;-)
bring an extra can of beer so no one gets left out on the post ride debriefing!
Blake AWEH from SA. My worst habit is to forget to eat before long rides then running out of steam half way through
Sweet well, I am off to local trails :p
Blake king of the split screen
Blake and editor guy are completely on the same page of comedy
Always bring beer for the parking lot , don’t be the guys who’s always late , don’t forget your essential gear , know in what your getting into
