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!

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.

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 😎🤟

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.

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
