Riding Wales's Elan Valley Epic MTB Loop In The Dark | The Most Epic Night Ride We Have Done!

[@johndunbar2393]

You can tell Neil is a true friend to Blake, by the way he made sure to sit there and laugh at him for a good bit and make sure he got as much laughing and ridiculing out of the way before he decided to help. Good stuff!

[@jayjenkins2674]

Don’t really come across anyone with the same name as me Blake’s unique

[@sparky694]

Blake and Neil's riding adventures are always my favorite on GMBN. We need more of this. Thank you for the video

[@markgeard2145]

That bit from 6:00 genuinely made me laugh !! Neil chuckling for ages, and then thinking I best go and help !! priceless 😂

[@WyeExplorer]

The Elan is certainly a gem - I wasn't sure how this night ride was going to turn out but 14 minutes flew by as if I were on a youtube flow trail. Good going. Mark

[@Cous1nJack]

Was surprised to see MagicShine as your ad. I’ve had one for about 4 years and can’t fault it. Was a fraction of the cost of an exposure etc that were the rage back then.

[@outdoorfan3305]

I love the adventures the two of you are able to take. It makes me want try to plan more adventures instead of just rides.

[@Falcos01]

I would like to see both of you do a fatbike trip during winter on snow 🤓

[@rohanjs.]

I just went on a night ride, it makes everything so much more interesting. The black trails your bored of seem like a whole new trail. Also I find it makes climbing easier as you can’t see the top.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Sounds like you're quoting Seth's Bike Hacks.

[@Cous1nJack]

I find it quicker, maybe I’m not looking around the peripheral and just chasing the beam.

[@rohanjs.]

@@DinnerForkTongue that didn't even cross my mind lol

[@adamwharmby4864]

Just got a magic shine light for my ebike great for them dark winter morning commutes or night riding

[@mikege4671]

Ive never heared neil laugh like this before. It made me laugh haaard as well 😅

[@elrictdb]

Night riding with some Slipknot (Iowa ofc) is an excellent idea!

[@cberg9480]

I have he same light on my bike and let me tell you it is legit ! Well worth the money. Many of y friends have bought some cheap one on amazon and they do not compare.

[@senpaizexy1402]

Beautiful I want to go there

[@dylan-5287]

Damn Blake getting stuck in that bog was hilarious.

[@cameronrutten6483]

6:05 caption contest moment?

[@tobiasscholl8692]

Very cool video

[@rafontrails]

Great video, love the epics 👍

[@samlewis2062]

can’t beat a bit of slipknot on a solo ride 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@denzglobio7617]

It's the first time that I heard niel laugh so hard. And blake mention my favorite band. Best content ever.

[@scottwatson6417]

Those lights are worth as much as my hard tail 🤣 epic video though lads

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

That endo at 6:00, we've all been there. Only thing is, I had much less of an excuse as mine are mid day in the sun. lol Thanks for posting!

[@truffletrouble7819]

Okay we get, those batteries last a looong time.

[@cgriggsiv]

Just about 37 and 1/4 MI in the dark interesting I already noticed that one of you fell over in the ditch and from the looks of that small patch of video you did a OTB Marsh mud and gunk just from what it looks like on the aftermath Blake , Neil you two did a fantastic video and the crew did as well can't forget them

[@miless2111sutube]

how did you find the MagicShine compared to the exposure lights that you have used in the (recent) past? Great video

[@Jay-qq7so]

Too many bears and cougars out here to be night riding 😕🇨🇦

[@Cous1nJack]

Welsh cougars are a bit different. 👩 💄

[@KDog2264]

Good video guys. Blake no pump? I guess you didn’t listen to the advice you guys give about being prepared when you go on epic rides.

[@Cous1nJack]

Group kit mate.

[@user-rc9ff5gc8i]

Imagine in a few hundred years digging up the Blake bog mummy.

[@jaysealenduro5618]

Great Nightride content😄🤘👍Nightride mtbiking is phenomenally awesome!! i love the trails at night it will look magical especially if you're going fast and also those magicshine monteer those are extremely powerful bikelights that's a good light if you're going warp speed into some fast technical trails.

[@prr665]

I live in the US. I bought the Magicshine 8000s Galaxy light for $417 (after tax) and it's super awesome! However, I'm reluctant to buy their headlight (seen in this video) because I'd prefer a light that doesn't require me to wear a backpack to stow the battery in. I think a headlight mounted to your helmet with an internal battery is a better solution. However, I haven't been able to find one with 3,000 lumens.

[@keaty1984]

They do a RN 3000 makes a good headtorch .

[@davao0506]

i was laughing cause he didnt even try to help him but just stand there and laugh…thats when you know you have a best mate with you..wont help but laugh his ass off..hahaha nice night riding

[@isaacleighton4958]

Can you please ride at llandegla at some point it's in North Wales

[@st1ffee]

the last time i rode there it was a bog fest.think it needs revisiting in drier weather

[@TowerFu]

all the tops of those hills never dry out its permanent bog lol

[@michaelwoodward5787]

Love night riding! Had my first serious crash and cracked a bunch of ribs.

[@leonline3424]

I can't even ride like that in daylight lol

[@aabcfdh1234]

Hilarious! That's was the swamps revenge for Blake's recent attempt of submarining while selfie-shooting during that other EPIC ride in Scotland :D This time the water caught you ... Epic adventure, keep this coming!!! Great team, too!

[@nickmassey9104]

Neil's hysterical laugh at blakes bog pass 🤣 .Good bit of night riding

[@TqKazi93]

12:57 when Blake is running his bike downhill. I’m dying with laughter

[@mastermonstrum4140]

Love this style of video, also ... anyone know what GPS was being used, assuming it's a garmin, but what sort?

[@hardtailheaven4060]

Nice ride gents. Neil how do record audio without a media mod on the GoPro?

[@DocHolliday3841]

That got a full belly laugh out of Neil who's usually the more serious & reserved one outta the GMBN presenters. Good video 🤣

[@pschilder636]

A night ride can be fun, but the animals in the forest don't like it that much!

[@riddlediddle598]

What app was Neil using to see the planets and constellations of stars??

[@snbsmtb]

Awesome Riding in the Dark Guys. Sick riding even in the dark😎😎🤘🤘and love these kind of videos

[@RICHARD10195]

I’ve recently discovered night riding and also the joy of crashing when night riding just adds to the drama and the laughter

[@renethoen1084]

Magicshine monteer 6500s on the handle bar and magicshine MJ-906S on the helmet is a brutal amount of light. Run at half mode is with this combi more than enough to see any detail of your trail. In half mode you will have a long run time over more than 3 hours easily this in combination with plenty of light. Only minor point is the short wire from MJ-906S. Is to short as helmet lamp and external batterij in jersey pocket. Is needed to place a bit higher on the back.

[@karlvoice6839]

What a epic night ride the magicshine lights look amazing I think I need to have a look at them 😀

[@matthewholley8278]

7:44 That’s Blake’s next adventure sorted then: The Far Side Of The Moon. On a hardtail.

[@brendan1]

I really enjoy night riding. It can be super spooky sometimes.

[@davidqueree]

Another banger from the lads at GMBN. 🤙🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@andybartco]

The dynamic duo back again! This is now on my list for the new year... But in the daytime me thinks

[@mm7wabanamateurradiowomble30]

YAY I see You use the half-size Kelly Kettle. We take it's bigger brother as part of our standard kit when heading into the hills on the bikes. always good to get a hot drink in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere! Keep on having fun on 2 wheels and keep up the good work on the videos :-)

[@Milessongs]

Love these guys on assignment together! **I wonder what sort of flat was so bad that Blake couldn't fix it and opted for the long walk??

[@marcianodemidof7135]

OH WATCH OUT, ASS INSIGHT👉🏾 6:06 😂. Great ride boys🤙🏾.

[@benh7338]

I think it should not get more popular to go for night rides - let‘s give this time to the nature and especially the animals which are distracted enough by us riding in their biotopes by daylight.

[@anttitapio4145]

Love the riding in the dark with good lights. It feels like you are in some kind of zone when all you see is the trail ahead

[@Larry93215]

I love night riding problem is these idiots riding around without lights I've had stiches because of this

[@bikebikepinas]

I always watch your video mate,may I know what kind of brand you use in your handlebar lights. I am from the Philippines.

[@wd5074]

Shout out to the camera man

[@Daniel-tl3lo]

Nightriding is great, but don't forget that you disturb the animals living in the forest, so don't do it too often

[@cornishcactus]

Finally Blake joins Doddy and Henry in the hilarious crash gang

[@kevinkuusik]

Country-trail 😅 130 front, 120 rear with trail kit.

[@user-fi3uu2ry8i]

Would love to know what setting the GoPros were for this night ride.

[@BushCity]

You cracked me up when you soaked 😂😂😂so funny 👌🏻👍🏼take care tho guys👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@adengocir]

Stay her watching for you mr 👍

[@wojciechopyrcha9116]

Slipknot and killer sheeps :D I love night ride, so quiet so empty, only foxes looking around. Mostly I ride in the city Cracow after work but it is night.

[@daz_the_cyclist8961]

It's not a dragon it's a Griffin (in a Walsh accent) 🤣

[@MrJwhittaker93]

Blake mate, your not alone in running into 27.5” deep smelly welsh bogs. I did exactly the same on my betws-y-coed emtb holiday last month. Only i did it in the daytime! 😂

[@klaus6122]

Hey GMBN, can you do a video on starting with MTB late in life, e.g. how to deal with fear of crashing, more trouble with balance, .,. .

[@oztiger5663]

Brilliant vid boys, hit thumbs up before I watched so I'll give you two now.👍👍. Night riding is heaps of fun, gives you a whole new experience.

[@tomaburque]

A handlebar light by itself will cast big shadows across chuckholes making it impossible to gauge how deep they are. If you only have one light, make it a helmet light.

[@rsmithuk]

I went out on a night ride a week ago with some great lights......I say great, dark, wet and misty, with the lights on or off I couldn't see a thing

[@BGH-VIDEO]

Slipknot and night riding. Now that's a sure way to create nightmares

[@notthefirstkylejones5320]

Love watching the GMBN content. Always a good time! Night rides are always a good bit of fun.

[@darrenwall5439]

Great video! Why do we seem to need constant music in the backround? I'd like to hear the bikes on the trails💚

[@JohnDoe-zb7dz]

Lets hope he pulled his front hub axle and checks for water since it was under water for so long.

[@Robert-xc4kh]

What was niel using to look at the solar system

[@gmbmedia28]

Ah listening to Slipknot while mountain biking = Send It.

[@mastafu80]

Very positive episode guys, fresh and funny. Please do more ;)

[@Larry93215]

I ride around the city at night hazardous

[@roilev]

Riding in the night is unique surreal experience that everybody should try!

[@markdavis8430]

The day i buy a light more expensive than my bike Is the day I get divorced

[@davecurtis8833]

Neil and Blake work so well together. I really enjoy their adventures.

[@cumalihat-lihat7229]

Tbh the slipknot bit is hilarious

[@Kaisersozze]

Night rides are fun, completely difference experience.

[@casper18795]

Outbound Lighting is the answer Magicshine has left me walking in the dark many times. Magicshine has decided to randomly kick off and not turn back on with more than one light.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Well that's shite. I run Lumintop and Convoy.

[@michaeldean7226]

Epic run especially the bog nose dive. Well done lads

[@harleymcclelland8029]

If you do not what to bitten by mings used a shampoo with meem in it

[@davidleemann7395]

Next up, the daylight version?

[@ghostroc]

7:42 - What was that app when looking at Jupiter, Saturn and the moon? Looks polished AF.

[@riper348]

Also want to know this

[@pedaldamatinna112]

Very good, but I prefer to pedal in the morning

[@nicklase0000]

Guys, it sounds like you are out of shape!

[@FlatPedaling]

Funniest crash I've ever seen! 😂

[@justinhaynes5902]

When riding behind with such powerful lights was it harder for the lead rider to see with the extra shadows?

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Not really, I bet. These lamps are disgustingly bright, far brighter than the camera lets on. Shadows are literally no concern.

[@BigSmartQuiz]

What rear lights were you running please chaps..?

[@keaty1984]

I think Neil was using seemee 200 and Blake a seemee 180

[@christopherroberts5011]

Great effort guys

[@kondawg7424]

love the fact that blake is a slipknot fan

[@tomselick6983]

Very cool episode

[@manuelyt4879]

I love night ride all I can see is darkness

[@nebulakaren4968]

Wow, awesome night adventure

[@Tzed250]

Blake’s front wheel😂😂😂
