Never knew deaks had served! What a lad! The guy is a legend :)

[@jaimieboy999]

Upa Ra!

[@mikecotty88]

That 1st guy on the bench was like "where's my invite"

[@basedrifter510]

LOL

[@freendeed8410]

Good stuff 👍. Very cool seeing this ridden on the hardtail, especially for us lower budget guys that are doing it all on 150mm forked Ragleys and NP Scouts. Refreshing and very much appreciated 💪👍🤙

[@willbennett7107]

HELL YES MORE OF DEAKS PLEASE GMBN

[@Accretion67]

Blake rips on cam. 😂💨

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Well that was EPIC :) ;P Great video Blake and Ben , #GMBN

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

Deaks is a legend. These two would be a laugh together.

[@camerabehindhandlebars]

I still can't believe Blake is doing all that stuff on a hardtail! Awesome collaboration!

[@nigeljohnson8022]

Quality video guys, err I mean Epic !!!!!! What a place to ride, absolutely stunning, even better with friends.

God I love GMBN

[@tonyktiger6343]

Love Blake

[@glennpettersson9002]

I get sore just watching Blake ride the Mega on a hard tail, so I have a mental picture of the producer really early the day banging on Blakes' door yelling, "filming schedule!"

[@beeble2003]

2:40 "Whoa, look at the lake!" 2:45 Whoa, look at the Blake!

[@spencermoon1371]

mint vid guys it was ace only problem i have with the mega is were the foook do i go now!!!! hahaa amaaazing spot of to bike wales on friday should be fun!

[@jamelpiclit3062]

When I saw the title I thought hey would climb it😂😂

[@terrymtbnurse4760]

Bro, what are you doing still on that hardtail? After the Megavalanche you have nothing to prove. Really enjoy watching you ride, your epic! Ride hard, be safe.

[@geemail369]

Makes _average_ well known trails more "interesting"!

[@lowflyingdonut]

don't worry about it... he secretly had 165mm travel surgically installed in his crotch so he's fine.

[@terrymtbnurse4760]

@@lowflyingdonut I hear ya, lol. It really show how great a rider Blake really is.

[@vitorduarte2748]

more epicness!! yes!

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

Okay, by my count that’s a total of 27 epics and 1 breaking wind. Got be a high score for the epic rides with Blake.

[@sebastiansaavedra7850]

7:32 he just fart? Jajaja

[@JackHackett1]

[@nathanaeljames09]

[@richardeljay]

Epic of visual epicurean delights (didn't need "music" though).

[@tinman7551]

Epic video, it's a shame you guys didn't stop the video occasionally so you could do some epic hi fives. you missed an epic opportunity to be very epic. Don;t get me wrong, it's an epic video. with epic locations, epic bikes, epic water, epic sky, epic mountains, epic dirt and epic wheelies.

[@jesuscruz836]

"All about friends."

[@ryanherrmann904]

Do you think we will see blake at audi nines and any other free ride type events again?

[@06wv]

Epic

[@bradleycooperaddiction469]

Riding hardtail when you should be riding full suspension is the best way to build those butt muscles for the ladies 😉

[@markcowen9538]

Bradley Cooper Addiction ....or for the boys

[@bradleycooperaddiction469]

@@markcowen9538 very true!

[@jangriesel5056]
