Can Blake Beat Nino Schurter? | Mountain Bike Challenges In Lockdown

Blake said he was super bored in lockdown and just wanted to get some riding in! Our friends at Tacx sent him a smart trainer, so he had a look through his contacts to find someone to have a race with. We all know that Nino Schurter’s training regime is legendary and he is ridiculously fit! But how fit is he compared to our GMBN presenter? Will Nino break him at the very start?!

So cute when he hears the door bell and says " friends friends friends". We all feel like that

[@user-gs5xt4hy4j]

You should lock yout suspension when you race

[@manonamission9567]

Hey Blake! You should do a collab with Matt Jones at his dj place!!!

[@dylan6189]

Yesss

[@ruanvorster2596]

Yesssssssss

[@dronalpes9705]

He even said that he missed riding is jump bike.. let s go Blake

[@dontcallmebrave]

Ya they could use a 3rd to man the wheel barrow lol

[@MrWarlls]

Nino Schurter, the man who change a tire faster than his mechanic.

[@MiekSr]

I'm a simple man: I see Blake, I click.

[@flyingpig3674]

Didn't I post this comment a couple of days ago on GCN?

[@lokedhs]

@@flyingpig3674 I saw that too, but then again he is a simple man

[@procompctd]

I’m ready to watch the dirt jump challenge haha!

[@guk894]

I found it funny that Blake is squeezing his brake levers while pedalling on the turbo trainer. Anyone else notice that?

[@shemshem9998]

i do the same, especially when i have sweaty hands,the brake lever is like a cushion and feels nice to grab just like biting on a mouth guard when working hard

[@Fasttrax2]

Haha nice

[@TheLocalsender]

love your work blake! keeping us all entertained during lockdown

[@kathyerickson9402]

That was so fun to watch...glad I wasn't riding😩 Thanks, Blake, for taking one for the team🙏

[@andrieslouw6588]

I always go on solo rides. Who's crying with me?

[@rickymarumade]

well, lets solo crying together

[@rupedog]

Mostly...I like the peace, but also like non-solo....a mix is good

[@mislavperusina9357]

I also prefer solo rides 🙌😁

[@mikieson]

I ride road and trail alone.been riding since February 2016 and have ridden with people maybe 10x.

[@dylan6189]

Solo rides are good but crashing is better when your mates are there to see

[@andyking6061]

Brilliant......great presenting and loved the challenges

[@jan-frederikfinoulst5111]

even after seeing Nino and Blake performing all those tricks, I'm the most impressed on how easily Blake lifts that tacx indoor trainer.

[@lucasbernal7035]

Thanks for entertaining us all the time

[@crazytrutas]

Sat down with a beer to watch this one! 🤣 Good effort Blake.

[@xaviermorin3685]

Dirt jumps challenge with blake and nino would be the best !!!

You guys are incredible! I hope my channel is this great someday!

[@christiannieman8144]

[@NSalonen]

Nino is as fast at texting as he is riding.

[@lawrencewinter]

Blake you legend. How's Ray and the fam? Love from all the boys at Hillcrest ;) shred on bru

[@HenleyHenderson]

Would love to see a dirt-jump challenge someday guys. Been doing a lot of solo mountain biking the cities are locked down, but there is alot of parties in them mountains.

[@p10tr3k7]

[@mrvwbug4423]

[@fjoricchio]

Blake you are just a genius!!

[@oscardawe_]

Hi Blake I love your videos

[@gkspud206]

That was cool, that trainer thing could do with a variable fan linked to your speed.

[@outdoorworld9912]

More skills Blake!

[@tomasclimo]

Blakes fall though 😂

[@mabecka]

Oh yes!

[@Pasdechevredreamer]

Both got a great set of kahunas

[@kevintranter5643]

[@briandp9535]

Lekker!

[@daswienerle3018]

[@alexj.3206]

Sean Connery! Instant "👍 lol

[@khengkoy]

I see Blake. I click quick!

[@zachf355]

Awesome blake

[@peterknight7880]

Changing an inner tube? Surprised the picture didn't turn black-and-white during that challenge.

[@MarkoMelko]

👍 freerider to this point 👌👌👌👍

[@jonnyscott8910]

Great video and try and give Blake all of next week off he needs it judging from the result

[@canmtb4676]

Blake, you need to cut your handlebar width, to match Nino’s 680mm , to press more power efficiently on the pedals.

[@andyd4137]

Me: “wow that trainer unit looks awesome, maybe I should get one”. *goes online and sees price* Me: “Yeah, don’t think so!!”

[@Hardcaslte]

They're expensive for sure, but they'll transform your cycling ability. I got a Wahoo Kickr Core about 1.5 years ago and won't look back.

[@Nuno-Grave]

Awsome!!!!😅🤪👏💪🇵🇹

[@ANTheWhizkid]

Oh damn... this is the right timing - just having my second espresso, hoping the next 2 days will pass by real quick... im waiting for a very specialized delivery.

[@harryc2388]

I got a Scott genius coming this week. I feel you 😂

[@ANTheWhizkid]

@@harryc2388 Oh nice choice! I find the bike really... its dope man, that's just what it is :D Well yeah, then we are really sitting in the same boat here hehe. I´m so stoked for being back out there again. Got myself a Stumpy evo s3

[@harryc2388]

The Whizkid that’s sick. They’re really nice bikes🤘

[@bendaff9618]

@@ANTheWhizkid I'm thinking going to but a trek roscoe 7 ( I cant aford the 8) just need to sell my current bike the listing is already up it's just a waiting game now

[@joeyeoman5912]

Harry C what one are you getting? I’m getting a genius as well

[@calypso2niner]

I really hope we still get cool vids like this after this stupid virus is over. If we can keep going with all the usual awesomeness, races, AND this kind of fun, we will all be winning.

[@susanappleby4300]

The banter, badgering and genuine laughter when you are all together isnt easy to do miles apart .. loved the kids show clean fun.... if I was 4,.that's not going to be an viewer's thing... sad fat kids hang out in arcades watching the rich kids play games.... just saying..

[@MrJoesphares]

It would be awesome to see Nino do an easy race

[@pepeanza6187]

Nino shurter espresso machine is beautiful I think I prefer it to his bike

[@randaillizarte9809]

We’d watch your solo rides.

[@thompsy2k6]

Race Rob Warner next

[@liampike326]

Blake...I've just noticed the socks and sandals at 4:22...

[@harrywhitelaw8029]

lets go

[@George-je1fs]

Takes me about 20 minutes of brute strength just to get my tyre off the wheel

[@simonnichelson8637]

I just want to point out that Nino should set his grinder a little coarser.

[@Hardcaslte]

Is it weird that GMBN is sponsored by TacX and GCN is Wahoo Kickr?

[@aldeux7086]

He should make a video with matt jones. Hardtail battles.

[@user-ge8zd1li5l]

Hello! What is the handlebar raise on a green mountain bike?

[@superymariowest2403]

Well, Nino IS an Olympic racer so don't feel bad Blake, you did better than most of us 😂

[@aneczka2114]

Blake is the best!

[@robertstrobel7338]

Should've been a Cardigan into a track stand.

[@dennisbrucemasayon786]

seriously challenged a world champion xc rider to a trackstand challenge🤣🤣
