How To Ride A Pump Track | Blake Teaches GCN's Si Richardson MTB Skills

[@amistry2092]

These videos of teaching GCN members is great as we can see ourselves in them and see the mistakes we make!

[@Noah-nx4ic]

I was about to comment this! So true

[@hugor.b.6351]

yep maybe some random follower invited to ride with blake

[@tommyestrada6464]

Ditto

[@nk-dw2hm]

Most of us watching have the road cycling capabilities of the gmbn crowd and the offroad abilities of the gcn crew

[@devonvanlaren4379]

Thanks Si for your vulnerability. I jump like you do. I am practicing to loosen up a bit too. It's encouraging. Thanks Blake for your input. "Super nice!"

[@gertyx]

It's helpful seeing someone try techniques who can't do it. That's me and the level Blake was showing him at made so much sense. Could you make this low level stuff a regular feature. Sure you'd get plenty of volunteers.

[@gmbn]

Great to know 😉 thanks for the feedback

[@Noah-nx4ic]

So true!!

[@Noah-nx4ic]

@@gmbn I volunteer as tribute 😂

[@ironore8677]

Global Mountain Bike Network this person is right. You should do more how to’s teaching people that can’t

[@bridg3burn3r]

My feelings too.

[@michaelmcconville5266]

4:03 love the street art on the right

[@chrisl.6158]

Would love to see GMBN team up with GCN more often. :-)

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

"Pop that seat up a bit" Lol. I love these cross over video's. I watch GCN as well and I'd love to see some GMBN presenters on there.

[@ragu4545]

I have seen countless videos on how to ride a pump track and berms and this is by far the best video. The day I saw this I hit the pump track and by God I was doing it. And those berms never felt better. Thanks 😊

[@p199a]

GMBN + GCN collabs are best videos. I learn most from them.

[@markfoster2947]

Great format - much better to see someone trying to learn than only to see the pro's who make everything look easy!

[@ZuluTravel]

loving a particular piece of the graffiti in the background hahaha

[@andrewbaxter8946]

Nearly in every shot

[@lucashemsley]

Haha I just spotted it as well 😆

[@BIKER38]

saw it straight away

[@AnthonyRamirez-qf4hk]

Awesome learning! ...with humility from an elite-experienced road-biker champ and a top-notch friendly down-to-earth instruction from a legendary free-rider! This is how it's done! So inspiring!

[@tyleronamac]

Blake, I have shared this video with all my cycling buds to learn your berm techniques (easily transferred to our mountain biking). You are truly graceful to watch and I love how you break this down and piece the teaching together for Si. Keep bringing us the walk through's with others. And thanks Si for acting like those of us who need the exact same training.

[@naturallymoronic2214]

The "artwork" on that one corner is Perfection.

[@aminbazdeep6417]

I like the way you bring in other disciplines (GCN) who I watch a lot. It's all about learning and fun. Brill!

[@gmbn]

Thanks Amin!

[@Dan-iv4zs]

3:20 That roadbike just sat in the background...

[@cliffordromina3527]

Si and Blake actually used that on the pump track. Its on the gcn show 305.

[@anikiforos]

haha, I 've just noticed a random madone!

[@kipcc3918]

Yeah, Was Also wondering if it would be still there,cause they’re all busy shooting and the bike was always out of frame. Well except for this part. Hahahaha

[@pknark]

Practice practice practice, Blake is great at explaining what works and how to do it. Learned a lot from Si and Blake from both channels

[@zubertish]

Just as an observer (you both ride WAY better than I do) I see Si's feet forward and toes pointed down on the jumps whereas Blake's feet are really flat with heals pointed down. I mention that because as I am just starting out and learning, I'm watching your vids and noticing that even the slightest change can make all the difference. Thanks guys!

[@AnthonyRamirez-qf4hk]

Collaboration of the best two of the most humble-overall-nice-guys in two different cycling disciplines! Happy to watch this all day! :-D

[@doctajuice]

Can we see si get his own jump bike and come back to the channel more often? This video was wicked fun!

[@stepanshibaev]

I'd like to see Simon's progression after some amount of practice! And maybe a pumptrack/endurance race..? :D

[@FaddyMcFaddyWaddy]

Class video. I like the chemistry between Si and Blake. Very natural and respectful. Hopefully see more of the duo

[@jezoliver6464]

Great to the coming together of riders from different disciplines working together. Love it

[@Martyboy84]

Si has such a funny dry sense of humor. Blake the top lad as ever. Jumps are effortless for him! 🇿🇼 🍻

[@Ali.M]

Man I love these GMBN and GCN videos. Keep up the good work guys!

[@Ricochetmex]

Blake - Tailwhips Simon - ... Hahaha loved the video!

[@Ben86511]

Finally a video that talks about the body mechanics of riding

[@vinzchannel01]

Can't wait to see Si get taught by Blake how to ride Whistler on a DH bike and see him do Freeride 😂😂

[@chavez32487]

I quit riding @ 16 years old when I got my driver's license, now @ 33 I wanna get back into it. I use to ride bmx street & never experienced a pump track. Now that my town has one I'm anxious to get into it. Picked up a Trek Roscoe7 over the weekend, thanks for the lesson.

[@bridg3burn3r]

Best tutorial video you guys have made. So much better than a pro doing it precisely every time. More of this please, even more in depth.

[@louiscormier12]

Probably my favorite collaboration with GCN on GMBN!!

[@devxc2789]

I love seeing Si here he's always a lot of fun ;) and the video is fantastic

[@julen2380]

Blake is such a great teacher and Si a great pupil. Brilliant combo! I actually accidentally got air on my cx bike a few days ago going over a big root. Obviously just a tiny bit of air but so much fun!

[@MicheleFerrariAX]

"case a berm" Si pulling out the whole MTB wordbook

[@The_Dude_420]

lmao

[@bugboy152000]

#GMBN #GCN greatly enjoy when both channels collaborate. Awesome to see!

[@Stuessy79]

Its nice to see Si not wearing Lycra for once. I didn't know, that he had a Jeans in his wardrobe. ;-)

[@steveallen921]

Brill. I usually zoom past pump tracks but not any more. You are a great coach esp keep everything positive. You know exactly how to speed up skill development and raise confidence. Steve Allen

[@shanedarbandi]

I really enjoy these types of videos Blake! Please do more!!

[@damonbfpv]

started to get the hang of it today and it felt so good ,just the high speed turns i need to get the hang of now

[@Sb73659]

absolutely loving all the gmbn/gcn collabs lately!!!!!!

[@chmeditations]

Time to get Blake in a time trial setup :). That was great thanks!

[@paul3180]

A very useful video, I have a new dirt jump bike coming in the next week or so and my almost 50 year old self definitely could use pointers on pump tracking and jumping.

[@jonburnell532]

As a life time roadie, pump tracks have always fascinated me. I could sit and watch the kids on my local one all day. One day.....

[@XNick291X]

Really helpful video on how to start on pump tracks imo, so thankyou for uploading this!

[@a.sarmiento5116]

As far as I know Si is also an MTB rider hence this learning jump thing is that he's preparing for something more than epic... unprecedented even...hmmm🤔🙂🙂

[@vex123]

These small pump tracks are so fun and cool. Wish we have these here in Vancouver

[@xbigcat22]

Gcn Gmbn crossovers are the best!! These two are great together

[@brunodias6308]

i love pumping on mountain trails, it helps a lot

[@MrShoryuken1]

Si should be officially seconded to GMBN, he is the ultimate amphibian presenter!

[@matthewkuhl79]

Si just described _exactly_ how i felt the first time i rode a dirt jumper

[@xDope12]

More of coach Blake video!! How bout you teach doddy/neil how to do big jumps? HAHAHA

[@andreirosass]

Si's grin at 8:07 is me watching GMBN presenters jump (bunny hop). Gotta work on my bunny hops.

[@MB-dz5hx]

Weel done, Blake ! Some valuable tips... So much fun on a pumptrack.

[@crapspray]

This is very informative and also a lot like Bilbo teaching Gandalf how to jump.

[@YourFavoriteCyclist]

I miss my local pump track! Looks like you guys had a blast!

[@Revaln]

Both my fav presenter, its fun see them both

[@magnumpunch]

Hes exactly at my level of suckness, super helpful! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@maddingo]

excellent and timely there is a new pump track 1/2 mile or so from my house .. these tips should come in handy

[@ganderbeaver77]

Thanks Blake and Si.

[@LECMTB]

Very helpful video. I definitely don't practice pump tracks enough, this is very encouraging. Great video

[@jcam4071]

That was so good!!!

[@adammoffett6935]

I could not wait have to watch it in school

[@Jurrb_]

6:38 got to say, that's a Nice trackstand

[@mothererich]

I haven't been this jealous of Si since Matt was hosting.

[@JuanderBoyMusic]

This is gold! Thanks

[@silviapabon1282]

The path of less resistance :)... so cool. :D

[@kevinh4631]

Greetings from Oregon the only pump track that’s close to me in my location is in Salem Oregon about 60 miles away I’ll definitely take this video along with me with my technology and put it to practice on the pump track

[@RudiJoubert]

Love the collaborations!!! Cool Video!

[@limyohwan]

This needs to be a series, teach Si jump higher!

[@marcsee4072]

What a great video. Guys this rocks!!!

[@miamatti]

Great video, Si is great for crossover videos!!

[@AndysAverageAdventures]

More of these please.

[@MissingLinkMTB]

Good tips, despite the 170mm travel I have seemingly working against me. Sometimes take my old bmx racer out.

[@newttella1043]

This is so relatable!

[@yunasuibato4897]

I love the way Blake said “faster” as “fauster” I’ve gotten so use to it 😂😂

Yes i know mate just joking 🙃

that was some great progression

[@IsaacHaupt]

Blake you totally mad e me want to get some coaching. Thanks for a great video!

Great to see that your in Bristol man hopefully I can meet h there one day

Epic video love the pump track

[@nedt]

Excellent video!!!!

[@augustusschroeder7764]

did anyone else notice that really nice road bike in the back at 3:06 ?

[@Jamie-ex3st]

I remember jumping like that back in the day haha

[@ganderbeaver77]

Just hit 71 and pump tracks are my next challenge.

[@NZWozza]

Really enjoyed this, I can pump and corner fine but haven't tried gapping at the pump track yet. Thinking if I p;lay this on repeat as I sleep, then maybe I will nail it next time I get to the pump track? One for manuals and bunnyhops next in this format?

[@FatGuyBiking]

Very informative great video.

[@renalditjesen2651]

i really like when you two collaboration nice content !!!

[@johnchristopher5075]

I’m laying down a challenge to Blake. Come to Telford, Shropshire and teach a 56 year old man how to successfully navigate a pump track (the one in Madeley). Drinks are on me!

[@ratatui900]

7:33 woow nice surf!

[@beechy0277]

Mint to see roadies and mtbers in the same place

[@urbanphotographer]

Nice job! These collabs are great! I have passed the stadium of being scared of cornering in a bike park but when cornering in a pump track I’m there again... Probably ’cause the pump track corners are tighter? I know the feeling of being a passenger on the bike in the corners, as Blake mentioned. I think I can get decent speed pumping and when I hit a corner it feels like I’m going crazy fast and I have to slam the breaks because my cornering technique is’nt up to par... As I get it I should start high up on the berm, lean more into the turn and spot the exit?
