Can Roadies Ride EMTB? - EMBN Takes Hank From GCN To The Bike Park

[@michaelmccormick9469]

Hank was a blast in this! I think you need to get Hank back, then team him up with Blake for an epic GCN, GMBN & EMBN session!

[@Celeon999A]

So can Roadies ride EMTB ? Absolutely. I think Hank was brilliant and learned really quickly. There is still work to do on his helmet choice though :-D

[@catantsch]

Hank did great. I want to see more :) Great rider.

[@androdelrosario]

I mean… I think it’s about time the PlaySports Network had a multi-discipline presenter. Hank’s a good candidate (e-MTB, MTB, Road).

[@deepdiver49]

Be good to have more of Hank on EMBN, and maybe Chris on GCN?

[@petersauer94]

Hank..the energizer bunny,up for anything, bring him back.

[@craigweightman799]

Great to see a novice on here to prove how much better life is with an ebike. Good work hank 👍.

[@vroonster]

So much great technique here for new too ebike riders! I am an experienced climber and I was shocked by sitting down on the ebike. Can’t wait to try it!

[@embn]

Thanks for the feedback Justin :) You're going to love it!

[@SayMcGillicuddy]

to be fair, on GCN Hank has demonstrated that he is more than willing to put his body on the line (esp his perineum). So it wasn't too surprising to see him rise to this challenge. I'm still a big skipping rope about any offroad doings though.

[@stujm8376]

Epic, so good to see. Challenge Chris to a time trial

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great stuff Hank. Don't leave GCN just yet but they can borrow you from time to time. Top effort and a great coach from EMTB

[@MLuciano1989]

Great Video! One of my favorites! Thank you 🙏

[@Scaredysquirrelmtb]

Thanks for the tip on how to do climb having saddle down with emtbs really cool

[@ChristopherNutt]

Nappy and a disco suit. I'm dead.

[@kenleach2516]

Hank has seen the light, fun! Yes to more Hank...fresh eyes learning fine detail

[@widkin]

Nice video and big props to Hank for the progression. But seriously, give him some protection, what's the point of doing this without some pads? It just sends the wrong message, I've seen several videos on embn or gmbn about the benefits of protection and when to use it, and a bike park seems like a place to always wear it. Especially when you're a novice. Ollie had fullface and pads when he rode trails with Blake on gmbn. Despite that, super video. More of these crossovers, we need more Hank offroad 😎🤟

[@GarfyUK]

I'm surprised it wasn't Ollie doing this, with his experience of drops

[@Cyril8204]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kylehagertybanana]

Was funny making fun of cycling kit, it helps to have a sense of humor about wearing skintight lycra

[@stephenbrown5844]

Brilliant thanks for the footage boy's

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

Fair plays Hank! Done brilliantly there.

[@charlesstevenson8751]

Hank is always a blast!

[@DTyzfR1]

would love to see more of you teaching him how to ride

[@J0nny61]

You were brilliant Hank

[@itarry4]

Hank isn't a normal roadie though is he. Never mind the experience he's already had riding MTB with GMBN that's not what I mean. He's nuts, basically fearless and never ever refuses a challenge no matter how hard. Mind you his understanding of MTB and especially the way suspension works has improved loads. Either you told him what to say, and I don't think you did or he's really getting his head around the way full suspension reacts when hitting ramps etc.

[@matthewl7585]

Yes, have him on the show again and others from the other channels. Really enjoyed this episode, thank you.

[@neelsahay5227]

I wanna see hank on an e bike vs hank on his motorbike.

[@jenswwefan]

so I am not the only one who makes sounds on the bike when it is fun

[@pistolpete938]

Didn't he do well! Hats off to the lad, he was a natural!.

[@kyled121]

More Hank on embn please!

[@neillucas4342]

Great work Hank & Chris

[@KOMshorts]

Took one out the other day… loved EVERY SECOND!

[@davidmwade1]

Love it. More Hank!!!

[@d2mcgill]

That was great, I learned a lot

[@visserswp]

Epic; have him over again; for a new ebiker that was a perfect way to learn techniques

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

These videos should be cross posted to GCN.

[@stevesnailfish]

Well done Hank !!!! Cross discipline is cracking !!!

[@amarmangaonkar7682]

Should have gotten Si too with Hank. Si did pro mtb before.

[@reezone2310]

Roadies can shred emtb! Yeeehaaw 🤘👍👍

[@CurvedSlightly]

What a Hanker.

[@stevesmith9082]

Definitely more Hank please.

[@wj6063]

Great ride Hank!

[@soecyrexful]

GCN starts to shredd !!! nice to see :)

[@saschafuchs185]

Hank has to come back - I've learned a lot.

[@dcmedia66]

Poor cameraman was obviously getting attacked by a wasp at 10:40 🤣

[@fuelmx6022]

That Husky Ebike look on fire 🔥

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Yeah….. Another one eats the Dirt…… and Loves the Ebike Welcome Aboard Hank !!! LOOK’N GOOD BOYS

[@paulbygrave6859]

Be great to see Chris out with Blake and Hank

[@neilpatching7443]

That was great

[@ImoonPeople]

Mountain biking is an exercise in confidence building. I love it. You can make anyone a better person with a mountain bike and some encouragement!

[@graceuz]

More Hank pls!

[@nicolapellegrino1072]

Lots of shifting under load on those tech climbs 😬 nice work on drops and Jump tho.

[@ChristopherNutt]

It's good watching a roadie have fun in the woods.

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

More Hank, please

[@lincolnlu9869]

My 96 year old grandmother could ride an eMTB.

[@scottmo31]

Get Hank back on he’d make a good emtb presenter 👍

[@ltrtg13]

How about getting Chris to do something like what GCN did to Blake in the FTP video a few years back. Or a Zwift race.

[@Paganiproductions84]

Climbing whit the seat up works great you need to lower your body position and far as foward when climbing and sit on the edge of your seat

[@winters3]

Yes we Wanna See ihm more…

[@e-bike-bys-vykken7422]

after seeing this video he is worthy of being in team EMBN

[@kevinjones7732]

Get him back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jmroper67]

Get Hank back on!

[@jrsuk1170]

Put Hank in, in place of the salty Welshman 👍

[@motorcyclesandthings8633]

I always found road bikes more hard work and less fun in my younger yrs , mountain biking to me is much more fun and not so hard work , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧 funny video this ,,,

[@msawyer110]

Hank is legit

Yes :-)

[@Mxoderberg]

"Roadies, they sit around coffeshops talking about hair removal"👌🏻😂🤣

[@johnbeedham3010]

good vid .... i haven't ridden my road bike since getting my first emtb .... 5 years ago ... fun factor is off the scale!

[@Monkey_slapping_keys]

For anyone watching, don't try to learn wheelies for the first time clipped in. Learn to bail off the back first.

[@brendanhayward1803]

Watch out letting someone ride your E MTB. Given the pricing in your last video it might cost ya 300 quid in maintenance.

[@osmollie]

The bikes are absolutely beautiful 😊 Just wanted to say THIS 😅🤷‍♂️

[@NZWozza]

Which channel will kill Hank? Place your bets now.

[@jimbo4203]

Seriously my dad is not a cyclist and he's 82 and he jumped on my ebike and my sisters and rode them all over the place !

[@s14tat]

Hank is my favorite gcn presenter. Sorry Si.

[@jrsuk1170]

There's tough competition at GCN.

[@kylehagertybanana]

chris is great

[@CurvedSlightly]

They can, but they shouldn't.

[@robertdurrant2957]

Next up...... Hank's Dad!

[@robhaskins3068]

Shows again that Emtbs are not for racing just Fun Fun Fun. To me racing is a form of ego shuffling with more disappointment than joy. The magic of Emtbs is they turn us into gleeful kids again and broaden our ability to explore terrain multiplying the benefits of one of mans greatest gravity cheating inventions the bicycle. It's not one or the other but having both naturally aspirated bikes and Emtbs to enhance the pleasure of cycling. E=Mtb²

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

Weird seeing as brand that’s associated in Canada with weed trimmers and chainsaws on an emtb.

[@mkmmarketing]

Motorcycles were way before P.E.

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

@@mkmmarketing see that’s what I’m saying. They don’t sell those here and the brand has a completely different association in my mind.

[@reezone2310]

Gfbn = global folding bike network Anyone interested in this new channel!?

[@darrenrichards8031]

Yeah make him a permanent member rides MTB better than me I,be got 30 years experience

[@janvahalec4386]

Hank is definitely not a newbie in in mountain biking.

[@stevenrees6015]

All that r&d to design and make a well ventilated helmet only to have someone wear a hat under it🤔

[@MtbPoland]

But wait..these are not mtb's ;-)

[@tomquimby8669]

Swap Jones for Hank, will improve the channel no end

[@dabigbadwolf5081]

This dude on a road bike is wasted potenzial!

[@Wargwarn]

Spds on an emtb are completely pointless

[@nicolapellegrino1072]

That's wrong.. lots of pros use them (Nico Voullilloz for example) with clipless you have absolute control on cadence and pedal stroke, the control is all the way better than on flat pedals.

[@Wargwarn]

@@nicolapellegrino1072 it's an ebike, you have a motor 🤦🏼

[@nicolapellegrino1072]

@@Wargwarn lol you have a motor, and you don't have to pedal? Of course you do... maybe you don't know what are talking about. Instead of saying that spd are pointless simply try to understand why are used and what are the benefits using that kind of pedals, the fact ebikes have a motor simply doesn't mean the clipless are not useful... don't like them? Don't use them simply as that.

[@Wargwarn]

@@nicolapellegrino1072 clearly you don't know what you are talking about. The benefits of spds on a normal bike are completely irrelevant on an ebike, the motor makes up for it. Think about it... Or do I have to spell it out for you?

[@nicolapellegrino1072]

@@Wargwarn clearly I ride bikes from thirty years, ebikes from four and I don't know what I'm talking about... surely you've come to teach me how to use spd which I use from twenty years at least and saying that are "useless" on ebikes... no they aren't, you maybe think they are but as I already said the control with clipless is all the way better (for those who prefer that type of pedal) than flat saying that are "useless" means "ignorance". (There's always someone that has different opinions.. it doesn't mean you're right... try to respect and maybe think about about your ideas they maybe not right as you can think)

Road bikers, men who haven't got the guts to come out.
