Competing On The Bike I Built In My Garage! | Racing Enduro On The CRAB

[@AlvarezAzel]

100% need to build a full sus now Blake, name it the Lobster :D

[@brettjohnson9453]

Or if the welds are bad, the Kraken

[@Zimblake]

😂the lobster. Like it!! Deal!!!

[@AlvarezAzel]

@@Zimblake Yes! I can't wait!

[@MedievalRichard]

@@brettjohnson9453 My first mtb bike was a Carrera Kraken lol....

[@Sketchybackyardtrails]

yes pls

[@justinalvarado7351]

Blake you are an inspiration. You're gift to the Mountain Biking community. Cheers mate.

[@Flux_Flow]

Thanks GMBN Team for keeping us entertained. I'm a long time follower and this is one of my favorite channels. PLEASE don't change a thing !

[@junreaksaa]

The crab fan here. Been waiting for every ride of it. Pretty neat in the trails.🎉🎉🎉

[@petercox4932]

Hell yer for the full suspension. Never doubt a Blake build 🤘

[@AverageDad2022]

It was great to meet you, Blake, top guy 🤟

[@oldblokeswhoshouldknowbett8108]

very impressive, I've done enough welding to know that wasn't as easy as people may think. loving the patina that the Crab is acquiring, needs a little more before clearcoating it to lock that in nicely.. Definitely make a full sus bike, I'll look forward to that.

[@junka1975]

Can we just appreciate that Blake high sided earlier in the week, smacked a tree with the same shoulder and still raced "The Crab" and finished in the top 30% of the racers. The guy is an absolute legend. I say yes to a full suspension bike Blake but really set up your jigs well for alignment and practice your welding. A Blake's Builds dual suspension is just what we need, you can try it out against Neil's budget down hill bike and compare how it rides. Actually it would be interesting to compare it with Rich's XC bike too. Martyn could set the challenges, Doddy and Anna can talk about your tech on the bike, it could be fun for everyone.

[@gsmossa]

Love your style, Blake. Making riding fun, first and foremost.

[@Theslaybeth123]

Imagine being involved in that race, looking at the results list and realising you weren't that far off Blake Samson and feeling great about yourself. Then this video drops and you realise, while you were on an enduro superbike, he was riding a hardtail he built in his garage with no prior experience that is also notorious for not even being able to ride in a straight line!!!

[@Ferrari255GTO]

It's insane that you didn't fly off the bike while you were concerned for the crab the whole time, not to mention that you kept up with other riders using your fairly jank bike XD. Amazing job and i'm glad to see that you're in one piece! Try to find a jig to keep the hub's holes aligned next time and keep an eye out if you do build a full suspension bike.

[@FirestormAA]

Wow Blake is pretty insane to race in home made bike..But that is what he is capable of done. Race with whatever ride he is in. Lol Awesome mate!!!!!!!

[@kjracz15]

Son of a gun, you really went with the idea. We finally get to see The Krab ride Blake in a race. 😆 Btw, I think the crab needs some clear paint and rust inhibitor.

[@did4h2k]

in rust we trust!

[@pubplays368]

Nah, just give it a forced patina and wipe it with tough cloth after every wash. That’s what I do on my custom hardtail that I made out of spring steel.

[@darrylmorgan]

Awesome Riding Blake,The Crab Certainly Did You Proud.Look Forward To Your Full Suspension Build Dude!!

[@abhadwivedi6381]

Hey Blake, you need to get that frame rust proofed. Great vid👍

[@SavageMTB]

you are my hero blake samson, the reason I love hardtail.

[@sufyanm4661]

10:18, knew there would be a clip of Leon somewhere. He’s one fast bloke

[@MichaelDamian-h4s]

Blake is the coolest. Positive energy. Yes keep building and yes build a full S.

[@barriebrownlandscapes]

Thanks for another fantastic video Blake........GMBN is so inspiring

[@DavidG-xb7ct]

This is brilliant to watch. I stumbled across the initial videos on this bike right at the point i was starting a similar project in my own garage. I finished mine last May and sadly have not done a huge amount with it. Bits and pieces and local runs but nothing like this video, but it was the realisation of a lifelong dream to do it. I recommend it to anyone who loves bikes and loves tinkering. 👍

[@westhoefer]

you are a winner anyway, best in HT-Cat, best over 30 on a HT, Best on a build your own HT, best GMBN Presenter on a build your own HT ...........

[@b.r.3232]

Racing on the Frankenbike, ohhh,..a bit anxious and nerves.....I love it!!

[@owensnicholas]

Yes, Blake. Of course we want to see you build a full suspension bike.

[@bradleyholtom39]

Love this bike

[@krehme]

I vote yes! Love the Blake-builds-bikes series!

[@gavintosneycrafting9133]

Felt sick almost as much as Blake watching that..... Well done

[@lewissmith933]

Goes too show you dont need a super expensive bike too have a good time riding or racing. 👍

[@streetstangcobra]

Just ride like a champ, Blake your steel frame and head are amazing, hardtails doesn't allow you to sit same as the full suspension which mean you did double the work of any of other racers, can't wait to see you building a full suspension I think you will start a huge DIY mtb community

[@TitoJoebs]

Yes! Congrats, Blake! Please build a full suspension bike! Use a protractor to get the right angles for it.

[@matsmellberg9127]

Love it Blake, you should hang up the bike in the shape after the race at the room for Dirt Shed Show for display as a monument over "Professor Blake". The man with all the crazy and weird ideas. Can just say again, this was really nice, interesting and funny.

[@pauldarylx]

Cant wait for the full suspension build! Might try to make one too! 😂

[@ashpunting]

Your home made bike is a testament to your welding both you and the bike did well I can't wait to see what you built next 👌🏾💯

[@notice_fpv]

I don't care much to see a full suspension built, but I would like to see the Crab Mk II. Modifications to the geometry, maybe improvements to the welding skills?

[@saddleweary2777]

You're a serious MTBer when you have welder in the tool box

[@Rab_Cee]

Lmfao seriously off his head trustin them welds🤯 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣 most welders wouldnt trust ther own welds like that

[@butterairways]

😂😂😂😂

[@saddleweary2777]

@@Rab_Cee Yup, and I'm one of them.

[@thetechfromheaven]

Imagine having a full blow TIG setup and a 7075 3D printer on your van 💀💎

[@retiredshredders]

The "Crab" did great!! And, heck yes. You should build a dual suspension. Rock on Blake!!!

[@djbayr9516]

Great work Blake! Both on the bike and your ride. Man, I'm so happy to see it hold up the way it did. I think you should totally do a dual sus.

[@dennismuller1357]

Amazing !!! Great video and creative

[@my2017raptorhardtail]

Well done my brother! Congrats on building a beast.

[@vivianfaithfull4748]

Hell yes build a full suss. Well done mate for this one.

[@alexplane5359]

Proper trooper 👌 👏

[@joeking2499]

The CRAB is AMAZING ❤ WOULD LOVE to see you build a full suspension bike that would be epic ❤

[@kevincarpenter7638]

Do it Blake! Build a full squash! Give us all hope that we can build the bike of our dreams!

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

AWESOME Blake so stoked for you that you rode the Krab in a mini enduro 👊🤘 Great video #GMBN crew 🤘

[@michaelsimon3059]

Well done Sir! A hell of an accomplishment! I would definitely like to see you build a full suspension bike now. Truth be told....on the step down stage I really did expect to see you crash hard after the front end came apart 😂 Nice job!

[@mikkelr1]

Yes build it!

[@karlvoice6839]

Wow Blake absolutely EPIC when I seen the title I had to watch in the view of something was going to snap but amazing epic build of the hardtail

[@meltedcubetv9379]

Keep being amazing … you are awesome

[@jamesdavidson8624]

Maybe show the crab some colour??? Luv to see you paint it!

[@MG-eu1hs]

Build again Blake. But please get a jig first. I think the viewers were just as concerned and very glad you and the Crab got through it!!! Awesome!!!

[@thescandiflick]

True Legend Blake

[@PedroGonzalez-yr7nw]

Build it ..I love the crab built video...I learned something...

[@freddycrabbs1033]

best bike name ever Blake, your feckin' awesome dude

[@crit71]

Your a beast Blake. Whar a legend.

[@stevenconnor4221]

Even the worst welds still weld. Congratulations hopefully you've overcome the physiological aspects of your own handiwork. Ps a tip for your new venture practice your welding on old scraps of metal , even the best welders do this. 👍

[@erniefritz1]

Heck yea !!!! would love to see a Full Sus built !!!! Do it....

[@philipcollier_]

Build the full sus Blake, build it! Love your Blake Builds projects 😊

[@tahoeebikes]

Blake is the man!

[@donovanrice2671]

Please!! Yes please!!! Build a full squish!

[@K.V.P14]

Well done Blake 👏

[@wadestewart901]

Yes, full suspension would be awesome!

[@andyb5012]

Great video thanks Blake and GMBN

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

Blake Builds is the only part of GMBN i find entertaining. Please make a full suspension bike, and practive welding a bit more for better penetration and nicer welds that flow a bit more, they look a bit cold. :) Love your energy!

[@vincemasi2939]

hell yeah we wanna see you build another bike!

[@01FozzyS]

Next up: the birth of Samson Cycles. Well done,Blake! Deakinator approved!

[@HeidiFegles]

This is great, I’m gonna change the head tube angle now , 63.5 but then oh I like 64 actually cut weld. Pretty awesome makes me want to build my own chrome moly frame.

[@thesniperonly9114]

Keep it up Gmbn

[@N8MRN]

Yes to FS!

[@xmurder95x]

0:41 it's just the blake style 😂

[@john660307]

GO FOR IT..

[@padyakeroUK]

😅you are indeed a bike builder welldone! yeah love to see you build a fullsus next time😆🤘🏻

100% for the full suspension bike

[@matthewwalter3423]

Awesome video Blake! Bike did great. 👍You should absolutely build a full suspension! Love the van build also. Keep up the good work. 😜

[@piczonman]

Build it! Build it! Build it! Yay!

[@joostdeen9614]

YESSSS, go build a fully Blake 😃👍🏾🎊

[@Jean-jk4zv]

Wooo GG ! I would definitely let a pro welder redo the junctions because u did a great job building it already

[@thomaswilliams2510]

A full sus would be amazing I reckon a 160 enduro bike would be wicked

[@TrailStoat]

Build it Blake! 😁

[@BAMBAM3316]

Build it! Build it! Build it!!!

[@michaelrende57]

Definitely need to build a full sus. I built one, designing it in linkage software and its amazing. I would be looking forward to see you build one.

[@zoransp85]

YES FS build please!!

[@alexanderscott2567]

It takes a brave man to ride on welds like that!

[@JasonFoxLCB]

So awesome. Although as much as I've always wanted to learn to weld, I hope I never have to haul welder to the trail head "just in case." And you know you've watched a lot of GMBN videos when you recognize some of the corners.

[@KristoferPettersson699]

Absolutely want to see you build a full sus and race it!! DO IT DO IT

[@andrewsonleitner9882]

Running hot way to go blake!!

[@WasatchMTB]

We need to see Blake build a full suspension in his garage!

[@ignacionavarro3434]

Yes full suspension build ….🎉

[@bencole4272]

Get building Blake 👍

[@deanohit]

Mega effort Blake, and while it'd be cool see a full suspension build I'd rather see this one evolve a little more. Maybe add some bracing and head off on more adventures with it

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

That’s sick

[@johnherman4960]

Build a full suspension!! That would be sick!

[@zsanterre]

I agree you should do full suspension

[@aAnd67]

Great video Bingers. Glad the Krabb survived, but if it had broken, it wouldn't have been " the end of the weld" or rather it would eh? 🤣🤣

[@havokcbr]

Yes! Build a fully now

[@anitalandkroon]

Great video 😃 videos like this are always fun to watch 😃😃 pink color on the bike maybe 😎😎

[@settit7030]

👍 Build the BLULLY & they will come ‼️

[@uselessmountainbiking3342]

Carbon wrap the joints for reinforcement, it would effectively hide the welds and reinforce the key areas.

[@Ishdz7]

blake samson the hard jejeje,cheers friend

[@Bike4adventure]

Your awesome! Great riding! Try to build a FS!

[@markbayhon]

Maybe paint crab before its next appearance :)
