[@markdavis8430]

3 then probably had a trip to the hospital 🤘

[@paulshanesmith]

I swam in that exact lake, 10pts

[@Yuzushuu]

this was a really fun twist on the usual challenge format, great one!! would watch more for sure

[@gmbn]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@Sai-tb1xt]

this video instantly motivated me to go outside and have fun... and also learn a few street tricks :O

[@markdavis8430]

Enjoy bud 🤘

[@gmbn]

Glad to hear it!

[@mitch_smith]

Best challenge video yet. Great fun. Blake’s positivity and Rich’s one liners. QUALITY!

[@gmbn]

More Location Challenges On The Way!

[@balloffires]

Yes! I would love to see more bike park challenges like this one!!

[@gmbn]

More to come!

[@kristofdesi2663]

now this is massive series material

[@DirtlovR]

What a fun episode! Gave me Tony Hawk Pro Skater nostalgia. You guys should definitely keep doing more of challenges like that.

[@gmbn]

Thanks very much! Pretty much what we were going for

[@aimokan]

Actually the signature bit was the funniest. Should do more bike park pranks - sorta like Impractical Jokers meets Game of BIKE!

[@R1eger25]

one of my absolute favorite videos from you guys are these challenges. Because of you guys me and my friends end up doing stuff like that around on some trails and just having fun in the city.

[@gmbn]

That's really cool to hear! Thanks for watching

[@mommamooney]

Loved this challenge! The random talk to people bits were the best. That and Blake’a trick

[@junka1975]

That whole video was just pure entertainment. Rich could have done a little whip over the widow maker and I would have counted it. Yes Blake that was a road gap and just how far can you truly manual? That was awesome. I am still working on my manuals, managed to drop 16kg in weight down from 126kg to 110kg in 6 months just so I can get better at manuals. I want to manual as far up my street as I possibly can.

[@katrockhold2791]

Yes, more please! Always a good time when these two are together!

[@Rustyfox46]

Absolutely hilarious. Rich, your one liners crack me up!!!!! Definitely more like this 👊🏻👊🏻

[@bobkin611]

8:09 LMAO That's the guy Blake told that he was the best rider on the mountain. He ran across the 2 #1 guys. What a lucky man!

[@dpomberger]

We viewers won ... Loved it!!!! What a great video! I love you guys for bringing us fun and thrill every week.

[@ThoR52]

You guys look like you had so much fun. Really enjoyed the video.

[@paulthompson6357]

What an awesome idea for a day at the park. So much fun to be had. Do it again!

[@EricBerghen]

We want moooore !!! We want more of those challenges !! Taken individually, Rich and Blake are already the best presenters EVER but those 2 together is a masterpiece !! Thank you for this 😀

[@Sadokist]

"I think I'm the best rider on the mountain" "Yeah why not... There's nobody here, so..." LOL savage.

[@garryhaines3066]

Def more content like this…..love to see them in not so well know areas local woods or smaller trails to see what they make of it. Great vid

[@jorismak]

You'd think that we've seen enough challenges between those two, but this one was so much fun to see (also because a few more 'social' tricks in there :)). And what an awesome place to toy around....

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Awesome video with a great different take in the Challenge videos 👊 Rich amd Blake really enjoyed it and so did i 😁 More challenges like this 👍 Great stuff #GMBN 🤘

[@kennethcampbell7263]

Not that Australia has half the alpine places to do stuff like this but as an Aussie I would love to see something like this based in Australia. It reminded me of the challenges from top gear and getting different envelopes to announce a challenge.

[@Seppster58]

These are my favourite videos to watch. And the random challenges that you would not think of is a real treat. Need more for sure!

[@gmbn]

We'll get some more together soon!

[@craigweightman799]

I absolutely loved this you could this sort of challenge anywhere. How about a challenge tour around Britain towns and villages none of you have been before.👌

[@user-EdAlber]

GREAT idea. The challaenges are always my favorites. Miss the "Game of BIKE" with pros like Malcom Hans.

[@phearnden]

Im heading of to Bike Park Wales on Friday and this just got me extra stoked to go. Love it!

[@Justkeepshredding]

My newest all time gmbn vid. Thanks guys!

[@joostdeen9614]

We need moooore like this please , way more 😄🤙🏾

[@DonovanBuck]

That was fun. Should be a thing for all your destinations.

[@jg91mr2]

Absolutely awesome to watch you guys have fun. It would definitely be cool to see more content like this.

[@johnostrum6953]

🚨 Definitely more challenges! I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say they are hands down the best videos 🤙🏼 especially when they include Blake 👏👏 would love to see one at a US bike park, perhaps an east coast one?? I hear Highland MTB park in New Hampshire is sick. Let’s make it happen!! 🚨🎉

[@thispod]

Great video guys, had a smile the whole time 😂

[@paulshanesmith]

Spent a couple of months in PDS this summer so loved this 👍

[@MichaelS-pr9qn]

This was Awesome! More please? Come hang out with Singletrack 6 in the Kootenays of BC

[@TheRickysee]

Great job coming up with something different , entertaining and even informative. The amazing location didn't hurt either...win win for GMB!!

[@gmbn]

Much appreciated!

[@thehigsy]

Had a smile the whole video, more like this please. 👌

[@KDog2264]

That was alot of fun to watch, love to see more.

[@8o8ertmtb]

[@ripapa6355]

[@raff5604]

[@Humtuk]

[@RABmbls]

[@ekschiz]

fantastic video... good job... so fun...

[@matimumarcusmanganyi0523]

With Rich, I just love his Rallon! With Blake, he’s such a sport 😂😂😂😂😂

[@SamyIbersiene]

I think you guys should either go to dyfi bike park, Woburn bike park or Chicksands it would be Fantastic

[@charlesholland6851]

I almost didn't watch this but it was great!

[@jackcamier]

Some challenges in Australia would be sick like at Thredbo

[@ruanrehder3415]

Rich & Blake can come to South Africa and do some riding and challenges @ GROOTFONTEIN BIKE PARK, you guys will like this!!!

[@ish474]

Love Aimee its been fun watching her progress

[@SuperGoooooooof]

this was awesome. I'm going to set this up with my buds

[@nevillepretorius8948]

Awesome video! Enjoyed it! ❤

[@liquidmakor6793]

They should have a checklist like this at every bike park. Rewards maybe free shuttle

[@8AUMA8]

Would have loved to see Blake on his Nukeproof Scout 🧐😜

[@Steveintheandes]

Morzine! Best resort in the alps :-))

[@deividas_kimontas]

Pie with the view everyone loves! 😅

[@TiMoLoToV]

Now this is a challenge video 👌

[@gmbn]

Thanks for watching!

[@j3f423]

More challenges

[@lisagrace2038]

Love the idea of the the video

[@2strokebro166]

[@uchihamadara9532]

Blake my man 💪🤟

[@alexanderscott2567]

Good fun!

[@Sketchybackyardtrails]

This was great

[@markdavis8430]

Have a pee with a view 😂😂

[@yumyumhungry]

The game of G.N.A.R. rip rob Gaffney

[@benpedder]

Surely link us the list to try at home!

[@PatrikLindgren]

These two are a hoot to watch. :D How long ago was this done? I´m just curious of how long the bike season is in the alps, when do they close the lifts and trailsystems? I guess they dont close all the systems in the alps at the exact same time, but probably in the same sort of ballpark atleast.

[@miindthegaap]

Truly enjoyed it. Blake are you from Zimbabwe? 🇿🇼

[@gmbn]

Thanks! Yes Blake is from Zimbabwe originally 🇿🇼

[@miindthegaap]

@@gmbn Representing 🙌

[@incredible5587]

Blakes the man!!!!

Rich always makes wheelie look like an art form

[@gmbn]

Yeah he is brilliant at them!

[@wonderwatch2239]

Wizz with a view… it’s moi moi’s go to comment 👌🤗🤘

[@driftertank]

"Ride a wooden drop feature." Pro-tip: Any wooden feature is a drop feature if you ride it wrong enough.

[@ToothlessJustin]

I wanna see someone bike pack from Glasgow to Fort William and then shred some trail when there 🤟🏻

[@beyondfshn2844]

I’d love to learn some things and ride with Blake

[@snowman22ism]

The ultimate presenter challenge... all 4 of you ... and Anna too actually... I love her. Neil, Rich, Blake, the new guy.. (Sorry new guy) and Anna!!!

[@magruderable]

[@niadudley832]

Mush that rich bloke did nothing a beigner couldn’t do 🤣🤣

[@acmtbike]

sick vid

[@ish474]

I like this format better than the you do one I do one challenges

[@Nugemart]

Do a show about bike shop mechanics How to rate them and skills they have

[@wrench_n_ride8159]

Blake, your overtake doesn't count because you took the easy line. 🤔 That log wasn't that skinny. 😂 Sloppy roost. 😋 Path gap was questionable. 😊 😂😂😂😂

[@alinapopescu872]

Maybe convince Neil to go against Blake in one of these challenges? 🙂

[@alinapopescu872]

@@rottieshepcalibre9156 Exactly 😁

[@TiMoLoToV]

Why not do series of going round the UK (or beyond) to known and lesser known bikeparks/trailscentres and do some challenges against some locals

[@Paganiproductions84]

Do a xc mtb strava kom challenge

[@sjm4686]

Trick challenge Fox creek mtb park, SA get Troy B to set challenges..
