well done Jack! - great tips and positvity Blake :)

Very

[@fernandanielrebb2480]

REALLY GREAT THANK YOU!! JUST FINISHED WATCHING 🤙🤙🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dkgray828]

Everybody needs a Blake in his life.

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Definitely dude !

[@Johan-vi8ny]

Yep dude

[@ElizabethFarley44]

We love you Blake xxxx!

[@randywells742]

Everyone needs a Jake too! I love that guy in these videos.

[@ejcena4305]

"It's a non-refundable situation"... Blake is the best.

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Loved the real, honest emotion... Well done Jack!

[@nullshock3381]

Skatepark trails skateboarders mtbers the end of this video, everyone gets stoked when someone does something for the first time, is universal in all those communities...Hell I am sitting on my ass at the moment and I felt stoked when he dropped in at the end. I think it is because we all have had that fear holding us back from something we know we can do. I think that's why having someone there to help boost your confidence, and celebrate pulling it off, which helps boost your confidence even more. Btw That was awesome Jack.

[@OriginalApexTwin]

And that's why I love this sport. Small victories every day! Well done Jack...and Blake.

[@peterpizzutelli]

This is the best GMBN video Ive ever seen. We all need a Blake.

[@Toeing_747]

Congrats to jack, that must be very liberating for him

[@itarry4]

That was wicked. You should definitely do more tutorial videos where you get Jack to do the skills Blake shows how to do before hand. It not only shows a real example of someone doing the skill but also how they get passed that initial fear and it's so inspiring see and hear the way Jack felt after doing it. Great video and nice work on both the camera side and the building yourself up to doing it Jack.

[@briannhoy650]

Was a rush watching Jack get out of his comfort zone and nail it!

[@stewartsheep542]

This is where Blake Excels, helping other people win through! Its a great character trait and it makes inspirational watching.

[@LetRippr]

Just love that elation feeling when you overcome a fear of a feature. It's winning a battle with yourself 🙌🔥🚀

[@Arkainebe]

We've all been Jack standing in front of a feature which looks like an abbys and noping out. Well done, man.

[@pacocastro3824]

That super positive attitude and the encouragement from Blake were plain perfect for the guy trying! From someone who still struggles with that, I do a little trick to try to follow the advices given here: At the entrance, with the hand on the front brake side: I grip the handlebar really hard. That prevents me from panicking and blocking with two hands either killing speed totally (fear tends to win over my will) or pushing my body forward (very bad business). Once in (non refundably hahahahaha), I get my fingers close to the brake again to modulate the speed as usual

[@garypostell5268]

Blake my man thank you for all you do for mtb riding and the whole sport outstanding great content!

[@kenbeech4940]

Wow, I have goosebumps for Jack. I hate the steep stuff. It is so much steeper in real life. This was a great video.

[@winklertribe5268]

YOU CRUSHED IT JACK!! Thanks for another super helpful episode!

[@fernandanielrebb2480]

i love steep sections but the only thing is that my rig is not really good for it so i need more of the stuff like this to gain more techniques. THANK YOU!!!

[@n3Cr0ManCeD]

I can't thank you enough for this video. I bought my first bike in 25 years two weeks ago and have been working on my skills (Watching as many GMBN videos as I can) The is a trail where I ride with a chute and I have been gathering my courage to give it a go. Between your advice/teaching and Jack showing me that I am not the only one with a little trepidation and I think I'll take the plunge(pun intended) tomorrow. Only problem is, the chute I will be trying is loose over hard and has roots at the bottom to deal with but I think I can ride a line that misses most of them. Thanks Blake and a big thanks to Jack.! Cheers from the US!!!

[@MartyPape78]

The addition of Jack made a huge difference. Especially to a new rider like myself. Great job Jack.

[@wesr1409]

Congrats to Jack feels great overcoming a fear like that... mad respect Blake helping others be their best too!!

[@joelankeny6277]

The joy heard at the 6:20 mark in this video is why mountain biking is so awesome. Well done mate!

[@restaalberto]

Love the green Rallon

[@Tzed250]

When a first timer does it, then it’s a real how-to video!!

[@iggalan]

Just yesterday I was considering going down a steep chute, only it was all rock, if it goes wrong the consequences are going to be serious. I wasn't wearing much protection (besides my helmet and gloves) so I decided to skip it, for now. Next time I'll be better equipped with knee pads, elbow pads and the chin bar; I think have the technique down, so I will go back another day.

[@stujm8376]

Good idea, padded up is always the best way. It’s good to take risks but better to weigh them up first

[@philipsheppard8861]

Well done Jack - awesome feeling overcoming the fear BOOM!!!!

[@mrtransient]

I freakin love Blake. His enthusiasm is so contagious, he’s always having fun!

[@MrAvsceriola]

man! my hands are cold just by watching this, I hate long steep sections and I don't have the confidence and even the skills yet to do it. Congrats Jack!

[@chads5191]

That was brilliant to watch,I've been in this situation so many times,but the buzz of adrenaline when you do it is just the best thing

[@wheechie]

That was fantastic. Genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Please do more like this. Great tips from Blake and so good to see Jack go from pulling-up (like so many of us can relate to) to succeeding

[@procompctd]

The best part about this video was at the end watching him hit that steep section, it was so exciting and awesome, and hearing the joy from both of them as well. This is something that makes this sport and others like it truly amazing!

[@salmanshami]

With his infectious enthusiasm, Blake is one of my favourite KZbin presenters. Thanks for lifting my spirits and helping me improve my mountain biking skills and approach.

[@AndreRicoyDias]

It's reeeeeeeeeeeally cool to see someone trying (and nailing it) for the first time! Congrats Jack!

[@Andy_ATB]

Oh that was great! Well done Jack....marvellous!! And to Blake for coaching him through it!!

[@LovetheIPAs]

This was a good video already...adding Jack's first ride down the chute made the video stupendous! Congrats Jack and bravo to Blake for being a great coach and motivator.

[@chiccorocker]

Nicely done Jack! The first one is really so hard. It looks so steep you know you are going OTB or washing out. But then you do it and... it was just great and is was nothing near going OTB

[@yengsabio5315]

Watching Jack's drop is like watching Ollie doing that drop in another video with Blake! The feeling is... wow! #AdrenalineRUSH

[@mondonalex]

Blake, you would be a joy to ride with with your positive energy. I love it, and I’m going to strive to be like you. 👊🏼

[@jaitechtips1467]

Gmbn always seem to have the content I am thinking about at the time. It's like magic

[@redbomberr4594]

Nice one Blake, I'll use this vid with my daughter (she has has an ASD with server OCD). The MTB has been the best therapy for her, but these sort of vids are the heros in her progression. Thx

[@yengsabio5315]

Sorry, but what's ASD? Thanks in advance!

[@redbomberr4594]

@@yengsabio5315 No worries. It means Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

[@yengsabio5315]

@@redbomberr4594 Thank you for responding! I hope MTB will truly help her cope a lot! In my case, MTB has been helping me a lot to cope up with my clinical depression. Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!

[@redbomberr4594]

@@yengsabio5315 Depression as you know is a roller-coaster. One second your up and the next your down. I've also been battling depression for it seems like my entire adult life (which is a long time, but not saying how long 😜). I introduced my daughter to MTB because it's the number one thing that helps me. I think it's something to do with having intense focus on now and 2 seconds in front of you, regardless of what happened 2 seconds or more in the past. Plus it's just damn fun, even though sometimes it's a struggle forcing myself to just get on the bike. Lots'a love back at yu buddy, from Australia. Note, I reposted this because I think my last post either failed or got deleted.

Damn, that music and edit, gave me goosebumbs mates!

[@whonoeszero]

Need more episodes with blake and jack. This was inspiring to watch

[@ambalee]

Man, I'm just watching but felt the relief and achivement! Well done Jack! Well done Blake!

[@griffmtb]

Blake is such a great hype-man, we all need someone like that riding with us!

[@thomasfolan2716]

This was a great vid. Congratulations Jack on behalf of all of everyday , well every other day riders out here. You gave us a all a virtual YES!!

[@zubayrbhyat8077]

Such awesomeness! Nicely done, Jack. Took my 9yo down a proper challenging trail and he did it.

[@RobGams]

Awesome. Love it when people hit an intimidating feature for the first time. No other feeling like it. 👍🏼

[@akoskoppany9715]

I love his enthusiasm.

[@AndyRidesTrails]

Nice one Jack! I have found myself in very similar positions over the past year, it's always such a buzz when you finally commit!

[@MarkPalacios23]

Blake being just natural makes him so unique and engaging. Great job Jack! Awesome content. 👌

[@Acceleronics]

More of these, please! Watching GMBN experts ride features doesn't help me. I don't have a similar level of experience, skill, or confidence. Watching an expert coach (and encourage) an intermediate rider does help. I'd even like to see more vids like this of easier features that are still intimidating for blue trail guys like me. My current nemesis is tight, steep downhill switchbacks. I'd like to see Blake coach a steep switchback rookie who takes a few tries to finally get around it without stopping.

[@jeremybub]

Outstanding jack, all the real feelings us weekend worries feel right before over coming a challenge, superb!

[@JC27813]

I'd love to ride with Blake. He just seems like such an awesome dude.

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

Just proof again that if you have the skills all you have to do is push yourself past those mental blocks / fears! Good video!!

[@gabeasher187]

Great build up, congrats Jack!

[@nadigashvin]

Just love the camaraderie. And the elation

[@nickthaskater]

Good job, Jack! Love that feeling.

[@Luck33y7]

Gotta love the firsts! Just watchin gave me goosebumps. Can not wait to get my bike and bag some firsts!

[@Losovox]

Not sure if I've ever ridden on of these but it'll come in handy sooner or later!

[@robson15rc]

More people need to be like Blake!

[@timanderson8302]

Good work Flap Jack 😜 Genuinely great to see a rider with a bit less confidence getting coached and overcoming stuff like this. Keep it up

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Good on ya Jack! Congratulations, and great coaching and encouragement Blake! I had goosebumps too :)

[@AvinaashKuppusamy]

I demand more videos like this! They're so good! especially when Jack got it down, it was sooooo very satisfying =)

[@colleenbrown92]

I needed this video my bf sent me this i struggle so much and psych myself out

[@nickmassey9104]

Blakes enthusiasm pulls Jack through

[@Simon78]

I was so excited for him when he cleared it! ✋🏻

[@theOGman]

The 1st time features are the Best! Soo Dreamy.

[@PVVI2015]

The tips were helpful! And congrats to Jack👏👏👏. I have a steep hill I’ve been freezing on, but maybe soon…

[@eonelast]

Awesome jack.. i feel proud of you.. well mr Blake are the greatest theacher of all time..

[@wasintonsinaga7201]

Nothing can substitute the experience. Congrats 👏👏

[@mxrclxst]

I want to see more of this. of people getting encourage to take on challenging features and breaking down the approach and technique

[@rosssmith1049]

Fully stoked for Jack!

[@davidqueree]

Very good video. Well done Jack. 🤙🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 It was nice to see Jack’s part. Because that would have been me. Keep up the excellent videos and riding. Thanks team GMBN 🤙🏻

[@grumpymtb]

Blake is an absolute legend

[@Sealsky]

one of the best moment in your life, very emotional!

[@electricstudentpilot]

awesome video. I was wandering if Blake could go to Audi nines this year? a vlog from there would be awesome!

[@emilianofilm]

Heartwarming loved this video! Congrats Jack!!!

[@The_Rumpo_K1d]

I can remember a similar situation when faced with going down the Kamikaze water slide in Spain. Stood at the top for almost 10 minutes trying to psych myself up. Was about to go back down the stairs then a kid came and went straight down. He couldn't have been older than 8 years. I had to do it after that. lol

[@psclassy1123]

Ride without a dropper or dont use it then you get learn quickly. We used to do it on 26 inch cross country bikes back in the day. Oh yea and they had 120MM stems. You were not back far enough unless you saw the saddle in your face or you could see the seatpost clamp at eye level. You know what I mean. Gotta love new bikes.

[@henryhsia3929]

heart was pumping just looking at it... I am hoping I overcome something like that one day.

[@cbrusharmy]

Happy for Jack!
