GMBN Vs. The Valparaíso Cerro Abajo | Blake Goes Urban DH Racing

Would you take on an Urban downhill race like this? Let us know in the comments below 👇

[@nathanaeljames09]

was blake always bald? LMAO

[@gardie6]

No

[@gardie6]

Of course! On someone else's bike!

[@preachey]

Regular DH is dangerous enough, Urban DH is way too dangerous and if it keeps growing it's only a matter of time before someone kills themselves

[@amandanorth6526]

Maybe not quite like that... But I'd definitely race a tamer version

[@alexp2398]

Very rarely comment but have to say - huge props to the editors, this was an incredibly cinematic video!

[@gmbn]

Thanks Alex

[@JasonWD]

Yeah, thanks Alex

[@vildt-balgastronomiskteamb7084]

Totally agree Alex!

[@carloscolmenares4054]

Yeah I agree, the production quality of your videos have definitely gone up! Awesome work guys!

[@adanielweaver]

The way they cut in the shots of race day crowds with the track walk really made the anticipation build and helped you feel Blake getting pumped up for the race. Really great work

[@scottleech9571]

This Channel is quickly becoming an absolutely 1st class with true enthusiasm

[@jacobfarrugia9866]

well done Blake racing is not about winning unless your Neil and why didn't Neil race we all know he shreds hard he is really fast, also no one gives credit to the camera men and the people behind the scenes so I just want to say those guys do such a good job keep up the magnificent work

[@gmbn]

Thanks! 👍

[@rolux4853]

I was out of breath after reading this comment

[@elkatron4410]

Blake got me feeling well nervous for him fare play. Great riding.

[@KandiKlover]

Imagine living there and having to ride you bike uphill all the way everyday. Wew.

[@Mike_Outdoors]

I hear rampge calling you....

Don't think just do :) , ok if not rampge, joy ride.... :D .

[@ismarsmajic]

Yeah Blake, just send it.

[@kyle618]

do rampage! u can do it blake!

[@wonpelao]

Blake makes it so human, so close. One can really feel the adrenaline of not a racer, but just a human being facing the danger and the fun of a race like this. It is very inspiring for all of us, average riders who are just trying to improve our basic skills. Wonderful video.

[@charliemedder5669]

Get Neil to do urban downhill event

[@gmbn]

Neil's raced one in the past, but we'd love to make one into a video

[@limyohwan]

If he dies - he dies

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I think it's out of Neil's wheelhouse I feel like Blake is a big dog when it comes to downhill. I'd be nervous for him.

[@cortarelva]

@@ronaldtartaglia4459 Neil is an ex DH world cup racer.

[@Blooben]

Ronald Tartaglia Bruh Neil was literally a DH racer.

[@philipp9078]

10:48 "I´m ready i´ve done a few good blunts" blaze it mate

[@sepg5084]

Calms the nerves 😬

[@prajwalpingali]

You'd definitely need to have a few blunts to get you ready

[@AK983BNAIRSTE]

Very emotional video. Well done Blake

[@Zimblake]

AK983BNAIRSTE thanks dude 🙏

[@Gwent575]

Blake is such a nice fella. Super talented. Good work gmbn. 🤘😀

[@gmbn]

Thanks dude 👍

[@mortonfrankfire5400]

you have to love Blake. He's so honest with his feelings. It's like looking at an open book! More power Blakey!!!

[@kobortamas7163]

10year old boi just sad : this isnt to bad.... xD

[@mccallsable]

Have you seen Jackson goldstone ride... Kids like that will make for exiting racing in the future😂🤟🤟

[@wii_music_intensifies9023]

Nah bro, he's a good rider

[@KandiKlover]

Pop culture and it's weird child fetishism these days smh.

[@dylanuttam2881]

That’s Jackson Goldstone... he is qualified to say that

[@lossantoscity3249]

That kid was literally made and born in one of the Oldest MTB Trails in the world, its Squamish, BC! Training grounds and home to many legends.

[@mithral999]

Hoy goosebumps watching that. Great work Blake.

[@thechaosengine3020]

I really enjoyed that. Great to see that even the pros are a little anxious and spend a lot of time preparing. 'Just send it like the pros' lands a lot of people in trouble. Thanks guys!

[@NerdsonDirtMTB]

I enjoyed this more than I did the actual race! Really cool to see the riders working together to figure out the course.

[@johnparkes2994]

Well done Blake for doing that, doesn't matter that you came last, at least you did it👍. I would of shut my eyes the whole way down and hoped for the best!

[@powrot]

So much memories watching this video, I remember going home at 9 AM after a house party and found all the people waiting for the races. What a night. Saludos from Chile!!

[@gavinstuart4163]

This is incredible, amazing to watch and maximum respect to Blake for riding that course.....

[@jddallager1699]

GMBN: You folks should submit this to a cinematic editing/outdoor sports award competition. Absolutely the BEST BY FAR you've done: editing; emotion; risk; storyline; etc. Reminds me of the "Free Solo" Nat Geo film.......equal quality.

[@douggore1431]

Blake is truly an awesome person

[@thijsdelange3387]

oh man!! I felt so nervous for Blake haha! You should come to dorst, The Netherlands, which is one the of the most technical parcourses in the Netherlands, and then let Neil and Blake race there and look who's faster on a super technical parcours with roots, tight turns and challenging hills everywhere in it!

[@maxp.1636]

I think he touched the "snake"🤔🤣🤣

[@Peanutdenver]

1:46 DOG EGGS!!! That is some shit i've never heard before...

[@KandiKlover]

Gotta wash the hands in fire after that ughhhhh

[@ChrisCapoccia]

takes a special person to be this enthusiastic and entertaining about an event where all the other competitors completely outclass them

[@MTBTrailRider]

This was awesome! Pretty cool to see the vulnerability from Blake. Watching him and the other riders at GMBN it's easy to see how much skill they have, but knowing they are still human is cool. haha Also makes you realize how intense these other downhill racers are! Thanks for another awesome video

[@philipsheppard8861]

Such an emotional video - you may have been last Blake, but you more than get first for doing Valparaiso! Amazing. Truly inspirational

[@amandanorth6526]

Felt proud watching you, Blake. Great video!

[@gmbn]

Thanks Amanda

[@Zimblake]

Amanda North aaaaaaaaah thanks Amanda

[@gavnunns]

I'm sat at home letting gmbn play while I get build drones and this comes up! Massive props to Blake and the crew. Not only is the filming top notch but Blake, man, massive! If you guys are ever over on the west coast US and ever need a racing or video drone pilot, hit me up, if I can't fly it I know people that can.

[@jf8534]

Way to conquer a fear and make a dream come true and congrats on making it in the top 25.

[@marlonboysielal3395]

Top notch vid..watched this after Blake's "meet the presenter" vid......goosebumps man....goosebumps

[@johannesdejong5269]

"i did a lot of good blunt, en runs"😂😂

[@paulhope7298]

This is next level. Completing at the absolute top of the sport but keeping it so real and sharing your nerves and enthusiasm. Wow. Just Wow.

[@Rogerioscampos72]

fantastic coverage, this dh format is fantastic, congratulations

[@simawds72]

This is by far, the coolest mountain biking video I have ever seen. Massive well done to Blake!

[@Max-pt4tx]

What a crazy event!! Well done Blake, did gmbn proud and made it to the bottom unscathed 😂. Congrats man Awesome vid as usual, would love to see more of this kinda stuff

[@gmbn]

Thanks for the support Max, we love making this kid of video

[@danervin2530]

I know GMBN is owned by a larger company, and many times this can interfere with content creation, channel vision etc. That seems to NOT be the case here week after week. These videos showcase the pure fun and enthusiasm the presenters have for their sport. It’s infectious. They rival Hollywood level cinematography, and the joy these riders express is obvious to everyone watching. Well done guys, keep up the fantastic work.

[@lukemerriman]

Well done Blake. Great effort. Love all the GMBN vids 👌🏻

[@3SecondsFromDeath]

Huge respect Blakie! The blind drop out of someone's house... Send of the Week!

You might have come in last place in the qualy, but you have the first place in our hearts. Thanks for the great show, was great seeing both of you at the event!

[@alexsavill486]

Blake- "this is scary" Jackson goldstone, 12 years old, voice hasnt even broken- "doesnt look to bad"

[@hiigara2085]

I laughed my arse off at that 😆

[@Latchfpv]

It's insane how fast the riders are capable of going down this track. The POV from Blake was blazing fast to me, and to hear he still ended up at the back of the pack, well that's just insane. Great job Blake, you did aces honestly. That's an insane track.

[@alexsavvas3878]

Wait, a kid is doing it?!

[@levingamm5956]

Alex Savvas yeah Jackson Goldstone

[@76mbp]

Jackson Goldstone is one of the top riders !...

[@broony7117]

BROONY Da BEAST he does everything!..crank-works.. slope style..Free ride ..Downhill ..

[@CMLakotaFlute]

Mate you did it! it's all I have to say. If racing through the streets was your dream as a kid, you did it! I want you guys know that I support you, I have learned many things from this channel. Please keep doing this with the same quality and friendly manner. Btw, I built my own kicker ramp last weekend, a lot of fun with it! thank you! I'm from Chile, you're always welcome!

I was there, and been there several times. I've watched lots of videos... lots! and this one is probably the best video of Valparaiso Cerro Abajo out there man, amazing editing. very respectful with the local city which is a poor city, and its very easy to complain about everything, specialy for an european. congratulations. thank you!

[@tonialzola]

That was aweasome, Blake!! Congrats on your first Valparaíso Cerro Abajo!

Superb Video.....all aspects, camera, editing, presenting and Blake proving he’s got it. Love it Guys

Well done Blake, congrats to you and the GMBN team!

[@sentry_rider2573]

Sir Blake. Your are an inspiration a true bloody legend. This is one of the best videos I’ve watched. My god this takes me back to the 90s making our own street freeride obstacles and jumps etc through the streets of Birmingham. Even if it got taken down. Keep up this excellent work my friend.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Well done Blake. Great to watch, yes Neil should do a race. Great camera work, wish I had been there.

[@MotoGriz712]

Awesome video! Blake, good job on completing the course with no issues. Def some gnarly jumps that take some balls to hit!

[@Pratalax]

Incredible!!! Great vid, fantastic ending sequence. Gotta say, having seen a number of these urban dh vids over the years, i guess i'm quite numb to them - i get juiced on watching them, thinking "hell yeah, i'd love to try that!" but having someone like Blake walk the track, practice and finally run it, really gives you a lot more perspective and the whole thing a lot more impact. Bloody good job!

[@thomasleerecruitment]

This is my fav. video from GMBN! Awesome guys seriously. Love to see Neil give it a go!

[@paulbyrne4214]

This might sound weird..but im proud of you Blake for sending it..who care if you were 25th.. you did it.
