Blake brings energy, passion, positivity, creativity, and a great smile. He loves what he does and we not only see it but feel it. That is why I watch GMBN. Awesome Blake !

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching Barry!

[@destinhook3826]

Blake is why we all love GMBN!!

WHO ever edited this should be a film maker. Good job on ya mate🤘🤙

[@currysauce1170]

Three Riders they probs already are

[@dantwarb40]

If they’re editing a gmbn video they’re technically a professional filmmaker cause it’s their job

[@gmbn]

We've got a great filming and editing team!

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Editing's alright yeah, but I'd say the cameraman made it. Especially liked the shot taken in between the take off and landing, underneath looking up to the sky. 👌

[@BrentonChan]

GMBN broke my heart and put it back together again. The magic of music editing!

[@hughcuthbert6327]

Any gmbn video with Blake in it is amazing 👌

[@nathanstahl4066]

hugh cuthbert very true

[@willstoyle]

No-one: KZbin: let’s give notifications *30 MINS LATE* - what a good idea

First! 😂

[@jamzbiking4508]

These boys are the main reason I want to go out and jump my bike

[@sw998]

This is just gorgeous cinematography. The whole section around 7:00 is amazing. Nice work!

[@gmbn]

Thanks a lot!

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Yeah nice close ups. They had to do that really otherwise the video would get a bit boring, especially during the building stage.

[@oldduffer]

Sick man

[@twfreeride8932]

Yes amazing sound design

[@KaidenArmour]

Blake is my favourite rider. Hands down!

These vids are what make me want to hop onto a bike, epic jumps!

[@TheGamingChamp101]

That's legendary dirt, sand,clay, and dirt all mixed together it hardens but takes years to crumble 🤤😂

[@kyleantonowich4335]

Jack Gwillam soooo jealous lol

[@Bogdan-le3bk]

In my opinion Blake will be allways the funniest 🤣🤣😂

[@lincolnpatchett7364]

I think we can all agree that Blake is the best GMBN presenter

[@christofire]

That super tight framing at 18:44. Great vid, content and camerawork. Keep 'em coming!

[@gmbn]

Appreciate it!

[@ethan_hunter]

When your meant to be doing school then Blake uploads a new video.

[@isaac8758]

Thats me all day

[@willstoyle]

Yep facts

[@Andybarney555]

School run? Have i travelled back in time??

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

So you're meant to "be doing school" then Blake uploads a new video, *then what...* 🤷‍♂️

[@nicholasstavridis6191]

this is the start of the video and im already so excited to watch it

[@seanglysing6913]

Love the intro😂

[@jacqueslarin8763]

What the hell kind of soft, smooth, easy to work with dirt have the gods blessed the UK with?! It almost looks like kinetic sand!

[@oliviermaes4837]

Even though I have experience riding and building dirt jumps I think it would be beneficial for beginners to do a video on how to build simple rollers and double rollers (or tabletops). Double rollers are the perfect introduction to jumping because of the very low consequences and since they're pretty small most people would be able to build one in the yard. These can also be incorporated into a pumptrack which is fun for beginners and more advanced riders too. I'm building a pumptrack in my backyard right now!

[@angusls6032]

Only gmbn can make digging look SICK!!!

[@cove6433]

you can really see Blake's past of building and riding in this video, and its awesome!

[@ivansemanco6976]

Blake the builder! Like the video.

[@Zimblake]

Ivan Semanco thanks dude

[@Golfin_Oklahoma]

I love the flat shovel for building, over the years, ive learned that investing in an 8 inch by 8 inch tamper. Works excellent for packing and the final shaping. I think it makes them last longer using it as well. You give great tips.

[@Shredded_up]

Blake you are my favorite rider. You are an inspiration to me. You make me want to ride. Please respond to the comment

[@Zimblake]

Dawson G thanks for the super kind comment dude. Stoked I’ve inspired you to ride

[@Shredded_up]

Blake Samson thank you for your reply that means so much to me. When I grow up I want to be a pro rider

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

So glad I have a front end loader and excavator. Makes moving dirt so much easier

[@ryannatwick6698]

This video is incredible! I had so much fun watching.

[@Zimblake]

Ryan Natwick thanks dude 🙏

[@craigsyanan2621]

Just the video I’m looking for, perfect blakey

[@seandoherty8270]

had the volume down when music on my sons lorrle&hardy scetch started in the background... was a good match... wow!!

[@satchmotionrc8202]

Too beauty to ride Blake! Awesome job. They look mint!

[@oliverlangner5202]

Blakie CAN fakie!!! Always a pleasure to watch this dude.

[@gmbn]

Cheers!

[@p199a]

thx blake i used your berm building tutorial and it worked better than expected

[@marcusskinner1041]

Gotta say, Blake videos are my favorite

[@richardbarton7]

Well done Blake , passing on important information to the next generation ! please build / ride the ideal small hip jump for whip beginners.

[@annedgington8819]

These are my favorite video of gmbn

[@happyhutPTY]

Ahoy from Panama, according to engineering "Angle of Repose" is the maximum slope angle a material can naturally maintain. Keep up the awesome videos.

Blake is the best presenter

[@bugboy152000]

#GMBN Greatly enjoyed this video. I can really see Blakes love of jumps coming through. I'm sure he's spent plenty of days out here alone just doing what he loves.

[@omnicrop9175]

I get my dirt the same way I call it shaving however, and I get it from my trail make it an inch or a 1/2 an inch down, and pat it all after to keep it looking nice with every new feature

[@olebondig5076]

Blake, thats a shovel, a spade is more strait and used for digging holes, shovels are used to move dirt, like you are doing 😄😄 but as always, great video

[@Cous1nJack]

Ole Bondig Blake called a spade a spade.

I love Blake’s builds. I am not being mean to all the other presenters but BLAKE ya a big fan bro

[@preston3241]

i could watch this guy build jumps for hours

[@angrygnome7839]

What I like to do is to ding a hole in between the two jumps because it doesn’t matter because now none is going to land there so I am able to get some mote dirt without making some dangle holes around or near the jump

[@tompicton-warlow3276]

Thx good vid ima do some builds at my locals

[@clubdevoiture1618]

I rode this jump last week .. thanks blake x x

also if it's possible i would like to see him build a drop... thnx!

[@josiahgolding7826]

Would you recommend the merida one sixty 400? I am saving and I fount that’s the only bike with a piggy back for that price to just seems good quality. Good parts and stuff. If you think there’s a better bike for that price can you suggest me one? Thanks

[@jakoby7203]

I don't know but have a look on r/mtb chat room and they can help you.

[@benh3683]

have a look at canyon, you can get the entry level torque with 180 ml travel for 2100

[@aaryasudarshan4251]

No dude I would suggest get some more money and go for a canyon or a Cannondale Jekyll Do not go for a Merida they r good at only making roadie not MTBs k and pls subscribe to my channel gonna post videos after lockdown my man

[@shemshem9998]

Don’t loot at a piggy back at that price, the rest of the suspension just does not live up to it, those forks are quite shit and if the suspension is not balanced the ride will still feel as bat as a ride with a bad shock (the chain is only as strong as the weakest link kind of stuff). The brakes are also really low quality and the shifting from sx Eagle is really bad as well. A piggy back is not necessary better and definitely not on a cheaper bike like this, go look for a bike from company’s like canyon, commencal, yt industry’s, trek, specialised, Scott, etc. Buying these brands will ensure good quality without exceptions and a lot of them are direct to consumers brands so you can buy them anywhere in the world.

Do you know where I can get help for my Mt. Bike addiction? I just watched a guy shovel dirt for 20 min and loved every second of it. Clearly I have a deep rooted problem.

[@derekwalsh1355]

Guys for digging is it ok if I use like a normal shovel instead of a spade because I don’t have one and there like 40 bucks or do you think I should buy one
