Rich has really come into his own as a presenter, and I freakin love his energy!

[@tomasstraka5244]

I think Blakes energy rubs off on anyone actually :D but yeah, love Rich!

[@yarkmates3409]

Parcour , parcour .....parcour😂

[@ThisSideUp12]

@@tomasstraka5244 Well, I already know us beautiful people Love Blake too!

[@sixonesix9429]

@ThisSideUp12 Agreed. He's really settled in now.

[@theonlyhowsie4281]

Yep lovin Rich!

[@Ramoenn]

One of the most entertaining video's i've seen on GMBN. Just two lads having a good time. I'd sure like to see more video's like this!

[@chrisridesbicycles]

When I make it over a gnarly bit, I am like „that was pure luck“ and two hearts in my energy bar at the top of the screen disappear. When Blake does something scary, he giggles „AGAIN!“ an two extra hearts appear.

[@toonclepkens6738]

You should definitely make a shirt saying: 'Never go full BLAKE'

[@rafe7678]

I would definitely buy that

[@dirtsurfernz]

I dunno, I'd happily buy one that said 'Always go full Blake' 😂

[@lukeburton55]

100% this should be made 😍

[@peterlarch5696]

Blake's face in the air is full of energy, confidence and pure fun. That´s soo good to watch!

[@ryancurry5284]

I don’t think there’s a better pairing than Blake and Rich. So much personality and fun being had in this video. 🤘

[@benconnelly5246]

Love Blake and Rich together they both so funny they're the definition of man children haha

[@BenBike]

Everyone is a child on their bike :)

[@jeoocampo4199]

parkour very me everytime i jump on obstacle's 😂😂😂

[@va941]

Men children*

[@benconnelly5246]

@@va941 yeah I know some how didn't sound right to me like that haha

[@ewan_young]

love blake's brand new bright orange POC kortal !

[@axelnilsson00]

Can Rich make How to nack. Then Blake Can do som basic tricks it would be fun. Btw love the vids

[@carswithjames]

Who agrees that we always wait for Blake's turn to present, reminds me that I'm amazing dude;)

[@Oldcranky1]

Love seeing Blake and Rich together, both have so much fun when doing these joint presentations and I think Rich is learning a lot from Blake.

[@twillscotland]

GMBN has struck gold with these two, brilliant double act, great positive energy, and ...yeah "Don't go full Blake" 😂

[@Hippo574]

I love their chemistry, just two guys hanging out riding bikes

[@romanbohacek8719]

I love how Rich is progressing with Blake. First in DYFI and now here. I wish I had a mentor like that as well!

[@CoachLo3]

Would be so fun just to hang out with these guys for a day at a bike park or trail. Keep up the great videos please!

[@ZackSavir]

Blake and rich, the best combination!!

[@johnster187]

These two are awesome together, i get the impression things take longer when these two get together.

[@NGHTYGIRL]

Love these two together! More Blake and Rich, please! 😍

[@colinmalone9065]

They have the best job! More vids like this please.🤓

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Awesome video Blake and Rich 🤘👊 Two very enthusiastic riders, what a great teacher Blake is and Rich eager to learn more. Great combo 😁 Great stuff GMBN 👊🤘

[@rtate5098]

I probably watched this video 52 times now! As an aging moto guy new to mtb I am super inspired by you guys. Rich haas that buttey smooth Kevin Windham like style that i sooo dig. Blake just rips. Dynamite boys!

[@dreadsanddirt5966]

It's like watching a monster truck and a rally car on the same course :-D These two are such a fantastic combination.

[@BurntToast1]

Really great video guys. Rich being pushed out of his comfort zone really resonates with my experiences riding on bigger features!

[@richardjoyce2426]

Would love to ride with these two. Looks a lot of laughs. Great video guys

[@falkoknkl]

It‘s great to watch them ride together. Really interesting to compare their style especially on jumps. Blakes pop is incredible. I can learn a lot from watching them ride together. Cheers guys. Please more of that.

[@jamesfriedrich4663]

Oh and you should ride at Rogate bike park or Queen Elizabeth Country Park some of the off the grid trails to the top right hand side on trialforks

[@jozeftomecko5674]

Love those 2 together! Rich is wearing actual jeans for riding...right up my alley :-D

[@pubgmenzo5189]

Hey gmbn love your vids!!❤️❤️☺️

[@leevivash9174]

Best video for ages. Blake and Rich just enjoying their bikes. Brilliant

[@lankey6969]

calling each other friends instrumental is LIT awesome song! Great video!!

[@dirtsurfernz]

Love it. Watching this pretending I'll one day have the ability and courage to hit anything remotely similar 😂

[@shanebraniff6198]

By far the best GMBN video I've ever watched. Watching someone's progression is what gets me out on my bike. It could be my progression or someone I don't even know, watching then hit something a few times to get it down clean. Love it. Great Video guys! Looked like yall had a blast.

[@eliotcrowe7884]

Would love to see more of this kind of content. Good chemistry, just two people having fun!

[@RobertJamesGoddard]

These two are awesome together

[@ramsobbins600]

16 seconds in and it’s already a banger 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@05GDF]

Rich: I did it Blake: yeah? Rich: Yeah I'm down here not on my head🤪☠☠☠🤣🤣🤣

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Loved this guys! Great energy together.

[@chrisinstasis7986]

That jump where Blake went sideways on the landing 😲. Even watching the replay I'm still sure he's going to hit the tree. Or the stump. Or the second tree. After that dodging those, the third tree must have been easy. Reflexes and skill off the chart.

[@danh925]

Rich and Blake are the best combination. You could power a country on the energy the produce.

[@talos935]

Great seeing a shred sesh Rich getting out his comfort zone 😁

[@brianpatrickcork4513]

Pure joy. Love the laughter. How awesome.

[@Michael-cj9uo]

A Blake teaching Rich tricks series would be amazing

[@paulzeee]

Blake kills it!

[@freeridetony]

The best kinda Videos. I like Blake ao much, ridestyle and personality🤟🏼🙌🏼🔥

[@gavinyeomans8891]

Awesome. More of this kinda thing please.

[@g.ldutton1952]

Well done rich, you sure are coming along... Blakes flips are so fluid

[@elis.5450]

Feels like spring already!

[@cgriggsiv]

Looks like that you two are having a lot of shredding fun

[@mrshaneyt43]

This was amazing . You the man rich

[@heyshaunhere]

[@Yorkshire_Blood]

Great video. Just pure riding.

[@sixonesix9429]

This was a great watch. Well played both of you. Blake is an absolute beast. Great rider to watch.

[@Flux_Flow]

Fantastic ! You 2 are really enjoying riding together and it shows. That's what it's all about. 2 thumbs up.

[@D91Mart]

The title should be "How many times can gmbn presenters almost die in one video?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@mabunixda]

Blake and Rich are an awesome combination!! Also interesting to watch the different styles of those 2 e.g. jumps or the wooden drop

[@DirectGecko]

Thought we was having some fails and bails entries there lads ! Cracking vid 👌 well done Rich !!!!

[@olliereader5842]

Gonna send the step up next ride and only my 2nd ride after lockdown

[@Loscrik]

Good job gents. These are some of my favorite videos -- Just out riding.

[@paulhowell1534]

I laughed and smiled all the way through that, Grizedale forest tomorrow for me 👍, whinlatter is a great day out too.

[@DemonicVelocity]

This video was so much fun! Haven't laughed so much watching a video since forever.

[@Yandolando]

First day back at the trails tomorrow, can’t wait!

[@enumclawbmx]

blake is such an under rated rider dude crushes

[@brokkoli27]

Awesome video. Would've loved to see Blake on his hardtail for some bike diversity ❤️

[@rtate8738]

Rich is a fn stud! Smooth style reminds me of kevin windham in US moto. New to mtb gobblin up content. Tks keep it up!

[@gustavofrings8345]

Awesome! Can't wait to see more bike park fun🤙🔥

[@Hangiinjohnny]

I’m not sure who has the better looking bike, I really like the green frame but the red accents really pop for Blake’s bike

[@charlesslwilson]

Nice boys. Had a great there myself on Tuesday this week. Good times. Had a minor ‘off’ but all good!

[@jamesmarsden9348]

Great vid. I need Blake to teach me to jump. Keep them coming guys.

[@chiccorocker]

Oh man I'm so scared by those gaps. Working my way up, slowly but surely! Great riding guys, that was an amazing session.

[@thomasli2261]

you know it's a good one when GMBN uploads a video that is more than 15 mins long

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Great ride guys...really enjoyed that with y’all

[@MrYorrik]

Brilliant! One of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in ages :D

[@ludwickeclemente9749]

Love this vid! Just enjoying the ride. More please and more power!

[@chrisgill8023]

That back flip was 🔥 wish I could do that

[@MrJwhittaker93]

Yes rich! He really does squash every jump doesn’t he 🤣 even a trick step up!

[@jean-felixlapointe5875]

As always, amazing video. Love the channel. From Qc, Canada.

[@domaves4043]

Cool Dudes! I can't wait to get to my local.

[@christopherbhagwandeen3490]

Zawesome vid guys! I was waiting for that backflip!

[@davidmalone8868]

Would love to see you guys at Leeds urban bike park 🤙🏻

[@freshturns_snowboarding]

Rich if you watch the slow motions you can see Blake is more rigid going off the takeoff but you're absorbing some of that momentum with your knees and arms. Don't pump it, stay strong on the bike through it.

[@jasoncolbourne94]

Come out to Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park, Colorado. I work for the resort and would love to see some GMBN crew out here. I already see a lot of people in your jerseys out here! Come on down!

[@olivert.7192]

man im so hyped on bikepark season opening. around me theres still a load of snow, clearing up soon though

[@TieriaZodak]

Simply one of the sickest edit

[@123gikke]

Nothing beats a good "superman"!

[@akairborne]

I think you guys should come to Alaska and ride a few trails up here!

[@jtdc88]

DAMN GMBN is getting lit with the editing and music now

[@Kapsonichuj]

I scared myself after this fail landing in the middle of video. I had same feelings as Blake watching it 😅😂

[@davidmoody2436]

Such a good pair awesome video!
