GMBN vs GCN | Let The Games Commence!

[@gmbn]

What events would you have liked to have seen Blake, Rich, Manon & Hank compete in? Let us know in the comments!

[@markbayhon]

An Amazing Race

[@elrictdb]

A race with a tech stop midway where the rear wheel has to be changed. A race on a bit of gnarly XC track. A trackstand competition. A brompton race. A bikeless running race Egg and spoon race - on a bike Three legged race - on bikes. Also, perhaps a *small* ebike category....and maybe three-four times as many competitors, tech, crew, IT, HR, wives and husbands etc and the events spread over several episodes and last, like the Olympics *SHOULD* be doing - get 1 untrained non-ex pro in each race so we normal people can see the difference.

[@robertstrobel7338]

Bike Polo!!!

[@DandyHippo]

UNICYCLE

[@mellissanash7517]

at least put gmbn on xc tires and GCN on 33mm endurance tires.

[@noterrormanagement]

i saw road bikes on the road against mountain bikes, but i didn't see mountain bikes on downhill tracks against road bikes! 😂

[@brandonkoh8361]

The fact they almost won the relay, on full sus bikes, is absolutely insane.

[@thegreatseprano9918]

Don't underestimate a good draft

[@Likelybiking]

For real! They shoulda let them use a road bike for that event

[@notpablo8369]

And theyre on trail bike to maybe a on 32t chainring🤣

[@BrianKlausen]

Very short track means cornering and the actual handover plays a big role. Also, the short straights means the MTB is not at that much of a disadvantage. Aero for instance isn't really playing that big of a role. Also, Blake has shown to be a bit of a beast when it comes to sprinting. There's at least one video over on GCN where he is part of some crit racing with Hank and one of the other GCN guys, and he is definitely holding his own. Also, Rich is no slouch.

[@mellissanash7517]

Imagine what they could have done on an XC bike with a 36t up front and 10t out back.

[@nerdexproject]

Next time I want to see them all in on a recumbent, in a velomobile, and on a tandem!😁

[@wilyamiyoo]

The better olympic level games lol

[@life.with.sabine]

Make this a yearly special

[@floris2872]

The gmbn boys are absolute legends. I would’ve expected them to use hardtails ands xc tires. Rich on the enduro bike is such a Chad 😂

[@richardpayne5176]

Late night call up on this one and that was the bike in the van so ran it 😂😂😂 No idea what a Chad is so maybe thanks 🤣😅👊

[@gtruckus07]

The heavy voice over aspect of the video definitely killed it a bit, needed an in person adjudicator! Entertaining non the less

[@alinapopescu872]

The Man from Zimbabwe delivers! 😁 😂😂😂 Bigger teams next time!

[@ChampyOnPC]

Ahh the handshakes... disaster 😂

[@gmbn]

Always is! 😅

[@dylan-5287]

Love the crossover episodes with gcn!

[@stujm8376]

Please, a LOT of ore of these, just brilliant

[@josepalomar3269]

I love this kind of content. Just good friends riding their bike 😁

[@gmbn]

So good right!

[@goodcompanycoffee]

A lot of fun watching this as a regular roadie. MTBers are chill af

[@atole8949]

Best part of the video: Manon on a full face helmet 😍

[@semadragun]

Blake you were a beast! Congrats GMBN! That was fun to watch!

[@outdoorswithalex164]

we need this every year

[@garryhaines3066]

Loved it more battles against GCN……mind you most of the events favoured the GCN so well done GMBN

[@junka1975]

That was fun. Manon is seriously fast on a road bike (BMX Manon is roadbike Manon's distant cousin? I'm just guessing on that one.) She definitely gave the boys a run. Blake is pretty much just a powerhouse. Hank and Rich looking pretty solid too.

[@linea2000]

Can't Anna coach Manon into XC? Manon is fast on gravel. Seems like an obvious progression.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

The video series we're all waiting for, Manon teaches Blake Road riding, hill climbing monster, and Blake teacher her MTB, it must happen. This was fun to watch though!

[@therealnavaho]

Blake won the sprint on a full sus on trail tires lmao. What a beast!

[@knitrundig4663]

I would love to see Manon try a BMX bike properly. She is such a good sprinter it would be great to watch.

[@planetbarton]

Blake and Hank are the same person - no amount of clever camera work or masterclass acting can convince me otherwise.

[@martindirkzimmer]

Great fun! I love the crossover shows!!❤

[@ChrisCapoccia]

interesting mix of power loss from tires & aero vs male/female power difference

[@hugomundo4826]

36 tooth mtb chainrings aren't a match for 52 tooth ones. it's an easy win if you got the legs. Good effort nonetheless! Blake showed in the track sprint that if you SPIN you will WIN!

[@scottsheridan278]

Loving the non-corporate content.

[@garyalexander3281]

That was fun! Well done gmbn commiserations gcn 😁🚲

[@NZWozza]

Manon cracks me up 😂

[@MrGourd]

Great video! Some events I'd love to see in future games: bunny hop high jump, longest track stand, longest manual, riding skinnies (over a pond).

[@gmbn]

Thanks for the suggestions :)

[@andyk3643]

To keep up with those light, zero rolling resistance road bikes on heavy, power sapping mtbs on the pavement is insane.

[@Mpestell22]

So so cool. What a fantastic effort manon! I’m inspired

[@Deepak19944]

Loved the commentary😂

[@marc-oliviersavignac9334]

It would be very cool to see both team on the same bikes, full sus or road bikes

[@WolfAs243]

The naration is gold.

[@tinman7551]

Loved this episode 🥰❤️😍

[@ebikescrapper3925]

Everybody should have been using the same style of bike, some events on road bike, some events on MTB.

[@seniorAlfredo]

This is for fun and entertainment mate. I think everyone knows what would happen in a real race already

[@mrvwbug4423]

Blake has a huge sprint, but he had to burn it on the first half of each lap vs Hank just to hold Hank's wheel. Obviously the 99m sprint and BMX played right into Blake's strengths.

[@dazza9129]

I will tell my nephew and Nieces that this was in the olympics back in my time.

[@kjracz15]

Make this annual pls! 😆

[@Joseph-xe6yl]

Go GMBN! 🎉

[@ThomasNing]

You cannot complain too much about the fairness if gmbn won. (Although they wouldn't have if Manon didn't DNF 😅)

[@hartstrengthendurance9643]

Fantastic!!! MORE MORE MORE!

[@thombatty1950]

More Blake and Hank!

[@jonathanlall]

The video we always wanted and needed without knowing it.

[@AmvC]

Thumbs up for bring-you-kid-to-work! :)

[@DandyHippo]

Relay on a spindrift 😂

[@Tony-df5rs]

Cross bike discipline solidarity 🤝❤

[@advocatusdiaboli9909]

That was so much fun!! Well done, pls do again. And btw... I love Manon

[@MadLFC]

Credit to Blake, he's an incredible all round rider. I don't think I've seen him fail to grasp a riding discipline yet. He has skill, power and very good fitness. Always impressed.

[@benoitcremiere5536]

Super challenge ! Et j'ai bien aimé la mise en scène et la voix OFF !

[@TESTA-CC]

Hank & Manon for the Road Bike Crew OBCC 😜🖖

[@elvisjaegerabduljabaar3465]

This one wa s so fun !

[@diegovelasquez6056]

Fun!

[@MTNMAX88]

Fun video. But I’d kind of like to see them all on the same bike for each event. That way it comes down to the rider, not the bike.

[@kennethcampbell7263]

yeah a relay race of course team Aero is going to win, personally I wanted to see Mannon vs Blake. Good one Mannon, no they wouldn't suspect the sub in at all... 799m Hank DQ for jumping the start. Though track riding starts being held in a balanced possie.

[@dylanjuneau2394]

i have to say seeing hank on that last challenge fly through corners makes me want to also pick up road biking,mid only i had the money for a road bike to many monies going into the mtb HAHA

[@dvs620]

Get a road bike or do what I did and get a fixie/single speed. You get a lot of the feeling, just not as fast. But they are quick.

[@JohnsonTheSecond]

Get some thickslicks for your mtb and you're halfway there

[@allangrundy2043]

Same race, swap bikes. I would like to see Rich racing o Manon's bike and Manon racing on Rich's bike.

[@user-gq2rz1dt1f]

Team GCN is best for roads & tracks and GMBN is best for mountain

[@vipergtsrgt1]

I'm calling DQ on Team GCN for improper handoff during the relay. They were way past the line. 🤣

[@joostdeen9614]

Moreeee pleaaaaaase 😂🤙🏾

[@lambo79]

Chg the terrain for the next one!

[@TESTA-CC]

The BMX Section 👌🖖👍🤙

[@zubayrbhyat8077]

Gravel vs. Gravel would've been better imo. Still mad that GMBN did what they did.

[@gopro_vlogs]

14:13 oi, hank got a slight head start. CHEAT!

[@KiranMachiraju]

That's some tough competition there. Congratulations to the victors. Next year let gcn send Connor and Ollie. By the way, I ride my mountain bike on cement paved and unpaved paths. What team am I in?

[@gmbn]

Flat bars? You're team mountain bike!

[@alchgaming7585]

try this but on reverse bikes and in both flat and mtb terrain

[@jamesweldon8118]

Next time make the challenges more equal. All except one were on road, put the gcn team on gravel bikes and take them on the trails

[@JaqobAdam_MTB]

the best rivalry

[@rider65]

🙄 Sprint relay 👍 Hop 👍 Add in a Short track gravel surface race. Short course CX grass race. Them a watered down XCO type urban course.

[@EnriqueSanderYanes]

I love the amount of failed highfives

[@jago100]

Do the whole squad next time we need gmbn tech as well more the better

[@pinjaliina]

Watch in slow motion and you'll see that Blake's rear wheel didn't leave the ground before the line in the Bunny hop event!

[@skipdippity]

Manon is quick..!

[@helicopter12345678]

Swap bikes and do it again apart from BMX ...that would be interesting 🤔😅

[@ripapa6355]

You can't tell how unathletic they are until yo see them try to throw something. 🤣

[@h_xgaming4115]

No way you didnt even do any mtb here :( I was hoping to see crushing it down the technical dh trails :(

[@Craig00005]

GCN?? Who? GMBN is the top gear of mtbs, love watch have to watch love all the guys and blake cracks me up 😂 so want to watch blake and sam pilgrim do a video together i will need a oxygen tank as be out of breath laughing 😂😂❤ keep up the great work GMBN ❤❤❤

[@BrianKlausen]

Actually, I find GCN to be even funnier to watch - and I am saying that as a mountainbiker. GCN presenters certainly don't take themselves too seriously, but they are always serious about the content. From Si, to Hank over Manon, Ollie and all the others in between, I think they are great fun and very tongue in cheek almost all of them. GMBN guys are waaay too serious on many occasions. With Blake obviously being the exception.

[@seattlegrrlie]

Yes, but how do you plan to try to kill Hank?

[@gmbn]

Next up... Javelin 😉

[@pavlybahaajessy7862]

🎉

[@SXsoft99]

Why not lock front suspension?

[@kevincross9206]

Next year get GCN to do it on mtb’s and vice versa 👍🏻

[@nolangherity]

not a good day for road bikers (it never is)

[@ZOB4]

Different result if you put in Si and Ollie

[@kennyforgot83]

Wheres the road bikes doing some downhill or jumps

[@blakebuchan8234]

lets be real tho, we all know what's cooler

[@heywood165]

#AskGMBN How about you do a team bike packing trip. Not just a couple of you, the whole team. Yes, I know Martyn will probably only be able to carry lots of extra batteries, but I’m sure you’ll work out how to carry everything 😂. Say, 2 days across the Isle of Man with a night on a camp site?

[@umluex80]

rivalry between hank and blake? dont' you mean bromance?

[@reezone2310]

Oi ye forgot to invite those embn n gtn dudes😂

[@irfuel]

No part required peeing on your bike, so gtn is out.

[@supercoder7]

Was that Si in the BMX challenge?

[@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v]

Should of changed up and threw some slicks on

[@VikL_]

The commentary was a bit out of sync on the bidon throw, cool vid tho

[@benya-gatman]

А почему шосеров на шосейниках на дх трассу не загнали? Тогда бы равное сравнение было....

[@Trek-om3dg]

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15) And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation14:9-11)

[@ExplosiveNotes]

I'm sorry but I don't see any bead on that bottle

[@carlmederozemtb]

Put them all on equal bikes not this rubbish

[@DandyHippo]

I was so rooting for MTB! Cannot compregend roadie stuff lmao its worse than swimming or running track

[@jeepsterc104]

It very unfair road race bike vs full-supension mtb

[@arcticrunning8370]

Fun!
