I recently went to buckland rings for the first time and am on a mission to do the big ones
Calatayud 😃😃
Yeah..In the Philippines, we do epic adventure trail rides pedalling it all the way from the metropolis upto the adjacent Rizal province that features river crossing and uphill trail paths..we did it last weekend eventhough it is rainy season here.
Blake and Martyn might be the best duo on GMBN!
Might be?
no doubt.
Duo of YT
Could be... big fan of Rich and The Don too
“We’re having a moment”
Absolute pleasure riding with you guys! Always a riot. Great work on the video.
You got my subscription!
💯%! Until next time! Cheers Bowhead! 🙌
Great to see several A-MTBs out together, just proves that the sport is making great strides for inclusivity. What an amazing machines the Bowhead models are. Great entertainment again from Martyn and Bingers, as always!
I too think that it is great to see more of these bikes. But i have one question what does the A stand for in A-MTB?
@@mads_ittmann1823 It says in the description, adaptive.
Thanks, Matthew! We had loads of fun making this one! We couldn't agree more! Cheers for the support! 🙌
As a Mountain biker who has Cerebral Palsy these videos mean the world to me! We need more content showing how all of us can ride!!!!!
that hug 9:22 and that comment "we are living our best life" and that look out into the breathtaking view just made me tear up a little :')
Martyn is an inspiration. Awesome as always GMBN.
Easily my favourite flim from your trip to canada. It always puts a massive smile on my face when i see blake and martin together. What an adventure.
Blake and Martyn going out to do some wacky stuff... just like old times. XD
Edit: That dip in the lake tho, Martyn made it weird. 🤣
Haha! The bromance is unreal! 😂 Cheers for watching!
The romance between bing bong and Martyn is endless 😍 Love their friendship, it’s beautiful
My face hurts from the smiling and laughing! So great, glad you guys got to do that, and together. Genuine good adventure!
What an adventure! Martyn and B-Lake 😂😂😂.. Smiling and laughing from start to finish I was.. Love it! Love it! Love it! ❤️
this puts a smile on my face from start to finish 😃😃😃 love it love it love it ❤️
Thanks so much, Anita! 👊
The bromance at the top (ish), what a fantastic movie. Great partnership. Total top!
Anyone else instantly think of the moment in Chainspotting where Martyn snaps his chain?
Or am I just showing my age...
I love Blake and Martyn's bike adventures, they have so much fun together and it makes my day watching them!
A ride to the shops with Blake and Martyn would turn into an adventure
Martyn, Blake & Doddy would be an absolute fun trio on the trails.
Martin‘s Vids are the best, the most entertaining and INSPIRING. ❤️ the trip and the scenery are stunning!
I love the natural bromance between you two, natural chemistry. You guys should do some sort of documentary or film on your friendship and adventures. I guess this is but more in-depth and behind the scenes. Cheers!
I wish I could like this video twice! Blake and Martyn are so good together.
Thanks to everyone at GMBN & Bowhead for putting together this adventure! I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! ✌🏻✌🏻
Amazing adventure with a great group, more of this content please Martyn, great to see you out on such good trails. You and Blake are great to see riding together.
I just love it when Blake and martyn get the giggles over doing something completely ridiculous but fun!
Martyn and Blake were crazy during their younger days, but they are more crazier now, keep the fun guys.
Martyn - "I just want to lick your back". Hilarious! Such a fun, inclusive team outing. Well done everyone, it's obvious how much fun you all had.
Just seeing these guys out on an adventure like this on there Bowheads, so inspiring and just totally awesome.
Mate, you are giving me some real inspos here to spend more time with mates, just horsing around like the good old days when life was simple. Glad you bunch enjoyed yourselves.
It's fantastic to see the likes of Bowhead keeping cyclist cycling. I lost my left leg and struggled to find resources that knew how to help me get back on a bike. There needs to more companies like Bowhead helping handicapped riders.
The two of you make me so happy.
Martyn having a mare of a day with three punnies and a snapped chain. Yet still everyone is having a blast, what a cracking adventure it must have been.
Absolutely awesome to see Martyn & everyone having such an awesome good time.
Absolutely awesome! Another great video from Martyn and Blake. - the dynamic duo!
Blake and Mr Martin you two are definitely having one hell of a damn adventure and the miscellaneous crew that just happened to be with you every last one of you have a massive heart of gold 🥇🏆
Blake always been very helpful to Martin.. I mean ever since.. I salute 🫡 you dude
#Martyn and Blake!!! The BEST duo in all GMBN
That was freaking awesome. Seriously, amazing views with truly amazing comedy :)
8:25 Blake is so much loved by these flies!
Fantastic video, that represents everything thats good about riding MTB with friends 👍🏼
thank you for your continued effort to highlight the progress, investments, and passion being placed in making mountain biking more accessible. even though I am not the benefactor of these efforts, it is both highly commendable and important.
Man. Epic is not even close. That trail looks amazing. So good to see the boys having fun. Martyn is a beast...
These are hugely inspiring videos. We all need good mates. ..... the dogging comment was priceless.
Watching this is fun. Thanks for the smiles guys. Com'on Martyn!
Probably among the top 10 mtb videos I've ever seen. 👍🏻
Wow, what great bikes are those!!!
And what an Adventure!
9:15 ♥️💪
Once again Blake and Martyn together makes for an awesome video 🤘
Great to see so many A MTB out together 👊

"We are living our best life"
What a moment! ~ 9:00
The view is beautiful and stunning. It looks like so much fun and it looks like you guys had a blast.
the scene with the music where Martyn broke his chain going downhill gave me total Descenders vibes
I love that MTB is becoming more accessible for more people
So much fun being with you guy's having your fun. Thank you for the laugh's.
"What kind of lake is it? A B-lake. Because I'm in it". Made my day, mate!
Can’t wait to see the video with Blake and olly Wilkins riding with Martyn!
Fair play guys, great team work 💪. Looks a stunning place to ride 🙂
Great memories made for Blake and martyn on an epic adventure more of these videos please guys
In our 10-day MTB Trip, we managed to ride:
- Whinlatter
- Dalby
- Leeds Urban Bike Park
- Cannock Chase
- Gisburn
and it was tiring but Epic and Memorable, we met you guys on one of our rides...Blake, you're a legend! My wife and I are a big fan of yours=)
Awesome ride guys! Fantastic Endo Martyn! I always enjoy your videos!
That was brilliant guys, exactly what biking is all about, having a laugh with your mates and helping each other out... Loved it!
“A B-Lake, cuz I’m innit…” Don’t know why, but that was really funny.
And Martyn, you couldn’t ask for a better friend.
Wow what an epic adventure. You guys are so lucky to be there doing that. Life changing moments!
Great ride. Beautiful BC comes thru again. Love the camaraderie between Martyn & Blake.
Man, I am just stoked to know these people trough these channels. Epic rides, crazy stunts, superb views and a ton of fun !
Those views, oh and the laughs. Great video guys 👍🏻
Props to the Bowhead team.
this was such a wholesome video i enjoyed watching a bunch of friends have fun on their bikes and still stay happy with all of those punctures.
What a gorgeous place love to go there and another fantastic video full of fun love GMBN 🤙😁
Mein Fahrrad heisst Butterblume! 😂 Understood it very well Blake! 👍🏼
Great video, great Team!
Martyn had me laughing almost the whole time. But Blake said it the best it’s a “B”lake. The views where breathtaking such a gorgeous place to go for a ride. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Man that ride is so beautiful!
I am truly envious of everyone who has gotten to experience this epic trail. Calling this an Epic adventure was a understatement!👍
I think I saw Blake lift off for a moment from all those flies!
The best adventure for Blake and martyn and the whole crew would be to come over on the land of himalayas! The Mustang Valley trails would be something you guys won't resist! 💯👌
Blake and Martin are legends great team
That was awesome fun to watch. What a great day you looked like you were having despite the technical difficulties.
"Mein Fahrrad heißt Butterblume" :D
Wow, what a fantastic adventure - and ended with some dogging ! soo funny
Absolute Stunners!!

Great stuff guys. Proper day out.
Ow get in there! Keep it coming just in time for my coffee 😂
Love seeing more aMTB content on the channel. Have you got yourselves an aMTB race series going yet? Looks like it's time...
"Stop filming and fucking pump" - that should be on a GMBN t-shirt!
Great video!! Absolutely A1. But I really want to see a race - Martyn vs Blake and both in Bowheads....
Proper adventure ride! ❤️
Best duo, guys! 🤘
Fantastic video, looks like you all had a fantastic time!

Either the editing out or the lack of complaints about the flies is impressive. :p That's all I could see half the time.
