You should definitely do this with every presenter - road trip to each person’s local riding spots.
would be sick to see especially blake cos he might do south africa
Absolutely sick idea indeed!
Great idea!
Problem is that lots of local riding spots are quite sensitive to bikers, this happens to be my local, and biking is not allowed but has been tolerated and you tube vids just showing it (not even promoting it) aren’t helping and it is rapidly spoiling it for local riders who only just getting away with it is it is.
I’m sure lots of us experience this at our own locals
I don't like you
It's first time me seeing Neil riding so steezy
I didnt know he could jump that well and do suicides
I didnt even know neil could do some suicide
Thanks. It’s been a while since I’ve felt as comfortable on jumps. Keen to ride some more
@@basicmtber3840 Man are you for real? Neil is an awesome rider.
@@neildonoghueMTB can you help me with the bike size you are riding in this video? I'm 1.73... I am ready to order the bike but not sure about the s size... What is your feeling and suggestion?
I want that bike AND those trails!
Who doesn't... :(
@@sudeshnamukherjee32 even roadies would want it lol
Yeah which colour would you prefer
I've got that bike and can get to those trails easily!
@@benfulford3943 oh sick bro
Winter riding with no Mud!?
And being able to sit in a pub having a couple of pints!
What is this madness!?
Lucky bastards
Lucky bastards
GMBN at its best, going back to basics with Neil and Blake. Always a winning combo, and this local riding spots material is brilliant. Keep at it guys!
Best piece of marketing seen in a while, from production to Title wording. Well done Canyon
Yes axatly.... I was thinking the same
This videos is just pure send, it looks so fun
agreed, love how neil can send too
Man this edit and the general look of the video's just spot on! 10/10
Glad you liked it!
I have assignments but clearly this is more important.....
same here
One of the best videos for a while!!
sick vid for sure
Best advertisements*
Best vid
And Best adver
Revolution bike park looks insane, that bike is also great! Love the vid lads
you ever been
@@basicmtber3840 not yet, hope to go at some point tho!
This vid is soo good! Loving the Neil-Blake materials!
Neil - Blake Adventures in Riding are my favorite gmbn content.
Super interesting interpersonal dynamic.
this video is great, two humble dudes with mad skills having fun on some wicked trails
First, Blake follows Neil and didn’t die. Second, what a beautiful
video.
I love seeing Neil hitting those jumps! Great Video!
came for the bike,and stayed for the killing riding
Thanks so much Rafael! 🤘
Spectral vs Strive? I've been looking at the Strive for a while, but the new Spectral is also pretty tempting. I believe Neil had/has a Strive, so I would love to hear a head-to-head comparison from them!
Torque destroys them both.
@@lukeneill1568 Torque is pure Enduro and a lot heavier than the Spectral, wouldn’t say it destroys both of them, it’s all in what you’re looking for.
Bit late reply but.
Spectral if you like to play, Strive if you only care about going FAST
The Spectral is fun at slower speeds, and is more playful
The Strive feels like shit unless you're pushing it right to the very limit of speed and grip
Feel in love whit the 29. Same week it come out. An now I just went on the first ride! Damn!! What a great bike!❤️❤️❤️
HONESTLY one of your better videos (even though it technically is an advertisement). The buddy atmosphere and high levels of STOKE just wants me to go RIDE anything!!!
Great video, but I would have loved a longer tour for the 3th day.. As you know, the jumping part on day one, on day two the technical stuff and on day three the more xc/long day in the saddle part of an "do it all" trail bike!
Blake! I want your BOD! lol thanks for the video on the spectral. helped me decide a purchase.
I’m worried that the other guys are pressuring Blake away from 27.5 wheels
they're just riding what their sponsors tell them to. No worries - there's no way Blake's getting off 27.5 voluntarily
You both always look like you are having the time of your life when riding together!
Makes me wanna ride! Canyon Spectral looks more than capable for everything! I might just look at one for 2021. Thanks guys! GMBN
I would love to see a comparison between the Canyon neuron and spectral. I’m in the market for my first trail bike, but am not a gnarly rider yet. I don’t do big jumps yet and live in an area where there are no mountains, only hills. So lots of climbing is required. Even though I would like to have the option to take my bike to austria, zwitserland and france. So i’m in doubt which bike is “my bike to rule them all”. Currently i’m leaning more to the neuron.
What would you suggest? Perhaps you could make a video about the strengths and weaknesses of both bikes?
I have exactly same problem. Currently I have a hard tail with 140mm fork, but I'd like to trade it for a full sus bike. 150mm on spectral seems kind too much for terrain around me but neuron seems kinda not enough sus to visit some mountain trails.
Neuron looks kinda ugly in my opinion
Neuron is ugly, yes. Spectral all the way.
Love these guys - Proper goofy, and absolutely sick bike skills!
Awesome video guys. You show your total mastery of bike handling perfectly with ease, fun and friendship. Reminds me of happy days 30+ years ago daring each other to drop into steeper and steeper sections of the old quarry we thrashed in North Devon with the No Sweat crew. Btw, totally rigid with pretty dodgy tyres/gears/brakes and protection when my dream bike was a Kona Cinder Cone...
This could have been two vids. Give us more of the fellas chatting and discussing lines, more pub scenes. Bring us along for the trip, not just the highlights. I understand this is primarily to promote the bike, you did a great job, I want one.
One of the sickest videos you guys have made! Those spots looked great and I never knew Neil was so steezy!
As soon as I saw it I thought: CANYON SPECTRAL 29!!! I’ve been so excited about it!
wow, Neil with the no handers! this is lit!
So good to see Neil riding some big jumps with weeps and tricks!
Way beyond the level of trails I will ever attempt - I would just slow you down, or I would be your camera man riding the easy trails around you.
What I really learn each time I what Neil and Blake is that if you are going to jump it or go down some impossible side of a mountain, you had better do it without any hesitation or you will crash. So I will just watch. Crazy flying circus, you two!
Thank you Blake and Neil - you guys are crazy fun.
I love Shropshire riding , sort of local to me and saved my mind this year with finding new spots and building new trails , still more to find by the looks of this video
I hope Canyon will make Spectral 27.5 with this geometry
I bought a Canyon Spectral CF 9 27,5
two months ago and it is great, my only complaint is that my brakes are too weak for that model.
The bike I have is the one to do it all, as long as there are wheels under me I’m stoked! Sick video though guys, the spectral looks very fun!
Oh wow my first time to see Neil do some stunts.... good job guys👍🏻👍🏻
UA-cam has really stepped up their advert game, eh? I've probably watched more adverts than content ...
As this Video is already an advert for canyon, GMBN could’ve been nice and at least turn off the additional UA-cam advertising for this video.
@@Neue-Johan you can’t turn off adds anymore UA-cam has made it maditory
Yeah, bud. I hear a lot of people just use add blockers, but I don't think that's fair on content creators if it's affecting them revenue wise? Not sure if that's even the case. It's really ruining the experience though.
Yeah...
@@milesdzineku9940 Yes you can:
You can turn off monetization for any videos you've already uploaded.
Sign in to UA-cam.
Click your profile picture > UA-cam Studio.

Select the video you want to turn off ads for.
In the left menu, click Monetization.
In the top “Monetization” box, click > Off > Apply.

But it will cost them money.
Such a fun video. Why Fall is the best time of year to ride!
I'm so jealous of your fitness and skill to be able to have this level of fun. I'm still learning and loving it...already looking at getting a spectral 29er 😅
Hi Guys! I just love it when you do these buddy rides. I mostly ride by myself and it is not always pleasant. With friends you are more inclined to enjoy the ride and do better. But watching guys is inspiring and enjoyable. Keep doing these kind of videos!Thank you!!!!
Thanks for the kind words!
That no hander Neil did was so good!!!
Great video and mostly on my local trails where my, now seven years old, daughter is learning to ride on her Hellion, she will love watching this later!
That is an awesome riding you too
Nothing like good friends and excellent trails
Sui, wallride, bottoming out. The Don is the man!
haha funny video boys, but this got me Neil: “ sweet canyon, canyon”, Blake: “loudy HA”😂
true pretty jks
What a treat. Seeing two of my favourite presenters getting down with the sickness.
Side by side.🤘!
For me the perfect bike for this is a 2018 Slayer with its Ride-4 System. You can change the frame geometry in few minutes with just a single allen key. Not too complicated and is a bomb proof bike.
Great video, it’s always a good video when Neil and Blake ride together.
That park looks so fun!!!! 😮
Great job as always, Blake and Neil. You will always be my favorite MTB channel. More power to you guys, and God bless...:)
Nice I got the 27.5 version 2 weeks ago.
I can not get too much of this filming!!! and the riding is so sick!!!
What a great video of Neil and Blake having fun riding.
Awesome bikes, awesome places they are riding and STEEZ by the bucket load 😎🔥🤘👊
Awesome stuff Neil, Blake and GMBN 👊
That looks like a killer bike park
I have a spectral 27.5. Real excited to ride it. Been in the shop due to their dropper cable being too short when delivered to me. 😭
How is it? Do you miss the 29inch wheels?
Neil still got it. Not only he is super fast, he still has the style too!
Another awesome video guys. Blakes stoke meter was running at 12 out of 10. So inspiring.
DnB part is sick!!!
One of the best vids for ages. Love this. If only I rode bikes when growing up in Shropshire!
This was a great video. Love the vibe. More of this around other presenters home town trails would be great!
Top vid, you guys were shredding and could feel your stoke from this side of the screen 😄
Been riding this for a month now, absolutely love it.
My favourite bike brand, GIANT, but when I saw this, CANYON became my second favourite bike brand, I love the canyon spectral, will buy this soon
At 47 I think I need a Down Country bike. Another category! But I like the idea of a light, capable, modern geometry XC/Trail bike. Liking the look of the Transition Spur ........... but it's about $10,000 here in Aus!! Maybe a Norco Optic?
GMBN getting credits in with their main bike sponsor before Christmas. Good strategy guys, gotta get that 2021 sponsor renewal signed up.
I'm pretty sure the renewal is before 20days to the next year
No sponsors, no show. It's not like they are trying to hide the fact that they are sponsored by them.
Another solid video GMBN! Great content (as expected!) and I particularly enjoyed this one because I’m planning on grabbing this sick new Spectral soon! Very glad that it showed the frame size on the bike Blake was shredding! Their sizing is confusing but I know I’m the same height as Blake from watching an older q&a video. Now I’m more sure of buying the medium size! I’ve always ridden medium frames so I guess it’s not that big of a deal 😂 cheers!
Love the vibe of this video. Can tell it took a lot of work with the synematics. mega ridding as always Neil is super steezy brah
GMBN just proves to me time and time again that it doesn't really matter what you ride if you know how to ride it.
They're shredding Hardtails, XC Bikes, Trailbikes and any of those at a higher level than I could shred a DH bike.
I need to fucking step up my game, man..
Realy like these trail vs enduro type of style videos ceap it up guys
One of your best videos so far mates! I really enjoyed your riding skills. You guys rock
By far my favorite Gmbn video
Your cameraman is the bomb. You should end every video with a brief rundown of what kind of equipment they used. If this video was shot handheld I would be very impressed.
Do you think this bike will be updated for the 2024 season!? Looking to buy one but don’t want to miss out if there’s a new one released
The pivot switchblade rules them all
I JUST PURCHASED COLA BEAR FOR
Love that new spectral 🤘
which colour you choosing
@@basicmtber3840 in the 8 which is the one I’m looking at it’s green or black , can’t make my mind up
@@basicmtber3840 I reckon green
We need more of this videos with the presenters just shreddin´, they are awesome
I was at revolution yesterday and the second place you went i live 10mins away from there.. good vid lads
are those the best places by you your so lucky
We were at revs yesterday too
@@MrAshes2ash i was 1 of the 17 elfs that was there hahaha
@@basicmtber3840 really am lucky mate.. so many great places to ride around Shropshire
I was one of the newbies to the elf group 😂
I love Blake and Neil adventures. Great job guys!
I just love those two guys
Nice bike! Do you notice the chain almost touching the chain stay near the chain ring when youre on a hardest gear? Im planning to buy the CF8. Let me know. Thanks
Yup, an EBIKE, in my case a 2020 Kenevo Expert. Does everything, rain, hail, snow, shine, and in your case, in more rain and mud.
Great video, I will love to see Spectral 27.5 vs 29. I got my 27.5 maybe 5 months ago and I don’t know what to do? Lol. Pros and cons will be great. Or just input since I’m pretty sure at least one of you have tried both.
27.5 is more fun and corners really well.
I don't get why the 29 is like 64 deg head tube angle and the 27.5 is 66 deg.... Why does the bigger wheel make it less slack so they have to make it a slacker head tube for that version?
Great watching ! 👍 missed this 1 ..
Favourite gmbn video EVER!
I just ordered a spectral but it’s arriving in April 😢
Man Neil's suicide no hander was so damn stylish! Think Blake got showed up!
Yo that sweater is a must have !!! Good stuff, love it.
Top video jajajajaj now feel motivated to get on the trail mzself, what gest me going the longest while bike is *delta parole* or other rokk music!
Those trails look amazing!
All the marketing aside great video 2 mates riding sick trails ,just bought a used norco 29er 150/160 carbon ,it pedals unreal corners fantastic riding it easy or hard is so much better than my old 27.5 bike
And I was staunch 27.5 !!
I would love to ride my 2021 Devinci Troy on those trails with Neil & Blake. I just had the Stevie Smith frame protector put on the other day. A fitting tribute to #longlivechainsaw
Ordered mine this week. Getting seriously stoked to shred it!
Would you review the Canyon Neuron CF 9.0 SLX for Epic Series multi-stage XC events? Possibly against similar bikes or compare it to the Lux and Spectral.
🔥Nice video! What size are the two bikes? How tall are you ? Thanks!
But can it do XC?
Yeah, yeah. Just bought a 2021 Spectral AL 7. Only hang up, it wasn't a 29er. Surprisingly, my only 27.5 and by far more fun. Now this?!? 🤷♂️
Great video (one of your best), but you bit on Tommy Caldwell like a crocodile. 😂
Nice vid! What size or you riding in the video ? I'm 5'10" 160pds wondering if I should buy medium or large... currently on a large Devinci Spartan
Go guys have amazing skills. I recently sold my 2019 RM Instinct BC and been thinking of the Spectral 9.0 LTD, 6 grand US $, high end parts for that price
