Its a breath of fresh air to see a GMBN video that just has two guys hanging out checking out a crazy trail together. No, agenda, not a tutorial, not BIKE, just guys having fun on a trail. I like the other stuff too of course, but more of this is welcome!

[@niklask.7333]

I totally agree. Their best video ist still Blakes Dark Crystal ride.

[@WaechterDerNacht]

This just gives a new perspective how f-ing good riders people like Yoann Barelli and Rémy Métailler are, which make this trail look easy...

[@gabriel_trindade]

exaaaaaaaaactly

[@drumerboy456sx]

Yeeeeeep! Agreed!

[@jaydesimone4297]

Gnarly is all well and good, but the best parts of this were Rich and Blake opting out of features they knew weren't their strengths. Knowing when to skip a feature is just as important as knowing how to hit one properly...and there's no shame in skipping a feature.

[@freestylemtbrider]

The best thing on the video is Blake's go pro mouth mount in 14:03

[@josephdc4077]

I missed this kind of video in your channel where the gang is genuinely challenged but still enjoying! 🔥

[@ryancurry5284]

Blake and Rich. They feed off each other so well. Possibly the two most likable guys on the planet. 👏

[@000cpike]

You know your spot is blown when GMBN shows up with the 1980s work-out music.

[@jonathanspackman9290]

I loved this video. One of the best I’ve seen with you two riding together. Loved it! And you’re both so good 🤯

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed this one, Jonathan! We really appreciate the support! 👊

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

That's some gnarly trails 😲 Blake saying no to a section I wasn't expecting that 😃 Great riding Rich and Blake Great stuff #GMBN 🤘

[@jbw5485]

Don’t see that often haha. Wait……don’t think I’ve ever seen Blake skip a spot. 😂🤣

[@kokonut5]

That montage at the beginning made me feel like I'm watching an IFHT video.

[@junka1975]

If Blake and Rich say it's gnarly......it's definitely gnarly! Insane!

[@RidgeRiderMTB]

One of my favorite videos I have seen on GMBN to date. Great fun watching you guys have fun!

[@skarabyll1458]

props to the editor his music taste is always great

[@gmbn]

Thanks! We'll let the editor know!

[@thewestkemosabe3326]

Finally a video from canada not only in whistler park

[@ivanmtb00]

I would love to see a video with GMBN riding with Rémy Métailler, Yoann Barelli and Steve Vanderhoek

[@NathanEide]

What a fun video. Just two guys on a back woods trail, trying some weird obstacles and features. This is mountain biking.

[@hotelbergen8858]

Awsome GMBN!! Love the video just like always

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoy it! We really appreciate the support! 👊

[@jasonridyardhome]

Absolutely brilliant, one of the best vids I've seen you guys make. the enjoyment you got from that was plain to see.

[@joshuarichter4415]

Agree with all the comments, this was the Best of GMBN, watching you guys navigate a raw, natural, insaaaane trail.

[@matsmellberg9127]

You two are crazy, love this video...

[@gmbn]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@LaVale-]

Was Blake actually holding the Gopro with his mouth ?! :))) Blake is a hero lol

[@robertog3875]

Exactly.. do they make a new mouth mount or is that improvised?!

[@paulc7551]

you know when Blake says no that it is WILD. Epic though that you include that, personal decisions make us safer riders.

[@DZig]

I do like the new format. Just pure riding on crazy stuff!

[@fraserjudd9483]

"Horrible, disgusting, I hate it!" Blake's review of Treasure Trail...

[@gmbn]

Blake clearly loves flow trails more! 😂

[@DegenDavid]

Jeez, did the boiz from Mahalo my dude start editing for gmbn? Good stuff.

[@brendan1]

A truly epic show today! Love seeing you riding our amazing trails here in Canada.

[@irvsstella]

Great to see you having a bit of fun time, good job guys, keep it coming. 👍🏻

[@88davidw]

Awesome riding. Great video! Love you guys.

[@kjracz15]

This is peak GMBN content and Martyn's gotta be proud of Blake not skipping the skinnies. XD

[@raizen82]

squamish is a different animal... props to all the riders that makes this look easy!

[@fernandocervantes2517]

Man love the videos guys hell yeah 🤘🏾

[@gmbn]

Thanks Fernando! 🤘

[@PeanutButterPavement]

Glad to see you had a great time in my backyard! :D

[@Parkskiingftw]

Rodeo Rose and sauerkraut are quite abit more challenging, you guys should hit them up next time your in town

[@chestho]

I would like to see more north shore stuff!

[@Chubacca838]

Dang! Should've tried to get in touch with locals like Dale Stone, Dangerous Dave or VanCan, these guys are amazing North Shore riders!

[@thewestkemosabe3326]

Agreed!

[@AlexGelinas42069]

Great shoutout to all of those folks, I love watching their channels so much

[@Flatlala]

Jordan Boostmaster makes excellent videos in the area, too!

[@DaleStone]

I'm always down if the invite comes in. 👀

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

Great video work and that trail........boy you guys are brave.

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed it! Blake and Rich are crazy to do this! 😂

[@noelmclean936]

Hi Blake. I can't really add anything that hasn't already ben said so please just keep doing stuff like this with your mates who really are class acts & we mere mortals will keep watching & appreciating the courage & skill you guys have. Even at 69, I still recon bikes are the best fun you can have with ya pant on. ( Ha ha ha). Regards Noel, from down under. .

[@ocbyn]

Excellent. Just so much fun

[@petemaloney9295]

What is that music playing during the Rupert trail? Great video

[@jesusalbertoguerrerocarden6628]

Are those the trails that Remy Metailler rode with a 73 years old woman?

[@stevecordwell7460]

Another entertaining video 😁🤙. Why do Clif bars make entry so difficult 🤔

[@robrider838]

Nice shot of Alice Lake at the beginning. That's where we park.

[@honfyah7]

What a nice video to watch!

[@bugo571212]

Craziest trail Iv'e been to. you can't even start to get how gnarly it is from the video. being there real life and riding (well trying to ride) it is just mind blowing super scary experience even for the most talented riders. In and out burger is easy compared to some features in treasure trail.

[@emoneyworld_]

treasure trail is knowhere near the hardest in Squamish also

[@paulwatt8634]

@@emoneyworld_ Totally. Not even in the top 10 I'd say. Labour of Love Pro Line then maybe SourKraut would be top two, I think.

[@avySeal]

This was a fun video to watch.

[@seattlegrrlie]

Welcome to my backyard.

[@daveq4263]

Yep wanna see more north shore stuff.

[@sjaan7370]

This stuff keeps your brain full on 😎

[@benc.8103]

Legend, no gloves no elbow pads no problem

[@williammurray1620]

Oh my gosh! That is crazy!

[@karlvoice6839]

Wow epic trails love it great entertainment guys

[@ZOB4]

Absolute madlads.

[@brianrainey2739]

Dont take this the wrong way but it was nice to see you guys genuinely scared just like us normal folk! 🇨🇦

[@lambo79]

No gloves.. raw mad fellas 🤣

[@05GDF]

Yes rich mooore Northshoreeeey and Blake

[@rodrigormotta]

i hope you guys also did in and out burger! it is one of the coolest and probably largest slab you can find in squamish! it is awesome!

[@Gabe73C]

Crazy fun! 👍

[@aric7726]

More people need to use this camera, you can actually tell how steep it is

[@JasonFoxLCB]

I love how much you hated everything you did. 🤣

[@anitalandkroon]

this is always super nice 😃😃😃 love It love it love it 🤩🤩🤩

[@centv8500]

I look super nub! But I love and enjoyed this video!

[@jefferson9428]

Is the mouth mount a new thing?

[@marcstucki]

Rich and Blake, please keep those nice helmets and ditch the pink ones ;-)

[@Norway-BOY-MTB-Mountainbike]

I will never ever Never ride this without a full face helmet 🤠...Cheers,Mate ,🖖🖖

[@gmbn]

We think most people would opt for a full face! 😬

[@charlesslwilson]

Boom!

[@rubbersidedown5620]

Intro part of the video is from Whistler and not Squamish. Also Treasure Trail isn't even remotely close to the hardest trail in town, it's actually one of the easier ones compared to some of the more gnarly technical trails.

[@joseoliveira8805]

GMBN should invest more in POV

[@fraserlordly2432]

I find it very interesting that I've ridden vertical walls all day at the skatepark, but seeing something similar on a trail and it's like nope nope nope. Don't need to crash today. That's only one hour 15 minutes from my house. Love where I live.

[@davidwangeman11]

That was epic

[@A.M.A.0104]

What kind of pants is blake using? they seem really nice and i'm looking to pick up some for myself for the colder second half of the year!

[@AliasHSW]

Nice looking helmet. In the pass hard to find the brand in the USA. I think because it didn’t meet certification. Wonder has it changed.

[@jimrichards7014]

Van Can could have towed you into the Karl. North shore is not the bike park

[@camerond8176]

Now the same on a hardtail...........................

[@chrisumdor598]

Hey guys, can u please ride the trails which yoann barelli and Remy ride. It would make a sick KZbin video.

[@kevinshort3943]

Having been stung in the head by a wasp that got into my helmet. I say YES to the bug net!

[@ZanderLexx]

My name is Bond, James Bond! And you are ? Gnarly, Gnarly Gnarly :)

[@wangelite5279]

I would like to know more about abus please

[@gmbn]

Hey! To find out more about Abus check out the link! 👉 gmbn.eu/AbusHelmets

[@jinavl]

A lil rowdy

[@MikesBikes2020]

How gnarly is the trail? Well, GoPro's hypersmooth doesn't cut the mustard... 🤪

[@jr5827]

Why not ride in shorts fellas? Looks like a hot day and a bit of climbing too.

[@Steve-Utah]

Too British

[@gmbn]

Wayyy too British for shorts! 😂

[@unklekirk]

I wonder if the video is sponsored by abus

[@petrd1104]

This is something too extreme, I mean looks like the hunt for difficulty went too far beyond what is fun.

[@alexh.4068]

Don't like the spoiler clip montages on this and other videos, rather see see the ride in order!

[@malcraghill7]

Shouldn't this video be labelled as an advert?

[@mtbadventuresnikuyajay8216]

You guys should try BCpov stonestarlet too..

[@utube091116]

XXXlnt !!!

[@faithwalk5926]

The Wilds of Can adia. look out those wood boggers will get ya

[@federicodonadio5624]

Woow

[@wylfo]

Does anyone know what size wheels they are using in this video? Edit: 29' at least in the back

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

If there’s a 29 in back there has to be one up front

[@jamesallway5934]

Why wouldn’t you wear more protection if your riding stuff like that? Your wearing new helmets but no back protection.

[@martintin250]

Ahhh, I think these guys know what they are doing….

[@MAGAIVER]

@@martintin250 You can still get a life changing injury even if you are very skilled. Look at what happened to Mr. Ashton and Scotty Cranmer.

[@jamesallway5934]

@@martintin250 I understand they have experience but it doesn’t make them invincible and it’s about being example to the younger generation.

[@sergeikulichkov7748]

Somehow it became "cool" to ride without protection. I am dressed like a hockey player every time I ride something more difficult than a flow trail

[@curtvaughan2836]

Well, they did mention that the helmet will notify your next of kin to pick up your remains if something goes wrong.

[@better.better]

Bra Engaged?

[@learnonedooneteachone3822]

That was a great commercial.

[@bittiapina]

"That's very gross... I'm gonna try it!" 🫣🤣🫡

What pants was Blake wearing, looks really nice. Nice video more of this!

[@leonmargerison3888]

those visors on the abus helmets are disgusting

[@craigmckinnon242]

Why the long pants I thought it was hot up there?

[@ocbyn]

What blacked out beauty is Blake riding?

[@shaldon08]

For my info, why not wear gloves - seems inevitable at some point going to stack it?

[@amandajane8227]

Had the best pancakes for breakfast in squamish.
