Backflip to fakie on a quarter pipe, then 180 out. Oh wait, h actually did that, although he popped quite a few tubes and busted quite a few wheels in the process.
@@wladimirmendozavaras4405 I instantely rushed to your UA-cam Channel and was kind of sad that there is no video of this attempt 😔😂 but respect to you. You need balls of steel for trying this 💯
Good on Blake. Lesson here is if you do not feel confident on a feature. it is ok to pass on it. Blake is still in one piece and still has his pride. This is called Respect.
Good to see someone showing that it's ok to back down at times than to risk something and hurt yourself. Probably better as a role model than if he'd actual done it.
I read the title and thought "of course you can!" because I tried to bunny hop a curb clipped in with a gravel bike and had recently installed some larger tires.....so of course I clipped the curb with the front tire and was sent end over end. Then I realized the title meant on purpose.
I’ve been waiting to watch this video after I saw a short on it! I’ve just been busy but now that I have watched it I’m soooo stoked to see it go down. You got it Blake!
We all know Blake can do it. But Blake is the one who actually HAS to do it, hence the nervousness he displays. I'm sure after nailing it he'll be able to do it again, no problem.
"and it's really hard to get out of".......first time I ever went to the foam pit I laughed hysterically at how hard it was to get out and was more exhausted climbing out than I ever would have been doing stunts into it.
Sometimes you’ve just got to walk away and save it for another day buddy! Better that and not end up in hospital! Although…..you’ve definitely got this 🤟
Super Top video jajajajaj. Now I feel big motivated to get on the trail myself, what gets me going the longest while bike is *Delta Parole* or other rokk music!
Blake: Tries to get the courage to flip a gravel bike, on the drops, on a pretty big sketchy step up. Me: Tries to find the courage to ride the drop at the beginning, then do a run up/roll-in to the step up's takeoff.
Awesome, Blake, and flat bars and pedals and that could be a new genre--geared light jump bikes. And maybe races with jumps like those crazy fun stadium trucks.
Still a gnarly dude! You need to know when to call it to be gnarly dude. That step up is already scary enough with a full down hill or Enduro bike, let alone on a gravel. The margin of error goes to zero. But there might be indeed a better jump to flip a gravel bike. Start with an airbag maybe? Some of your free rider friend must have one.
I'd have loved to have seen Hank's face when he watched the GCN video. Or has he? Or was he watching from behind the sofa like a 5 year old watching Doctor Who?
It’s pretty fun how MTB guys always use the drops. It’s more simple to use the top of the shifters (sorry I dont know the english word) because you don’t need to move your hands to use the brakes
It’s called riding on the hoods in English. I’m not sure it is safer when doing this kind of stuff. Riding on the drops is a lot more secure and gets your weight lower. On a drop bar bike it’s generally safer to descend in the drops - they aren’t just for sprinting and aero.
So you just admitted that a mtb'er is more comfortable on a road bike than you? The drops aren't just there for decoration. If it's windy or i'm going fast I'm mostly in the drops because of the extra security if the position.
@@imperialspy3457 and of course it’s more aero. I coach and we always teach riders they need to be comfortable to be riding in the drops for extended periods, not just for sprinting. Basically whenever you are in the wind in a race you should be in the drops. Kids pick this up and are very comfortable with it early on but a lot of adults struggle and always revert to the hoods.
Cheer up, Blake, you're not as defeated as the guy at the start of Wide World of Sports. And O how we hurt for that dude every time we saw him crash on that ski jump.
They’re fun on flow trails, just make everything feel a little bit harder so a trail that might be a little boring on an MTB becomes fun again on a gravel bike.
you should get with Sam Pilgrim, i think the tow of you would be able to do anything on any bike (i think he has flaired on his road bike with carbon wheels)
Defeat? NO! It's called sensible 😁😁 IMO that dirt jump wasnt a good place to attempt it. The sharply dropping landing zone pretty much guarantees problems
dude got paid to play about and probably a free bike to do a backflip, Well done maybe you should do some give aways with the bikes, its very hard to buy a good bike these days without being ripped off, like they give you the best specs and then a shimano tourney groupset haha

Do you think Blake can flip it?
Yes the man clearly has a few screw's loose That's why we love him Let's go
Not a defeat, just a reroute!!
A new Road bike party featuring Blake Samson would be a great idea.
of course, Blake can do anything on a bike he's a monster
Duh, of course
I totally expected Blake to say "we're doing something a little different.... but kinda the same"
My mans seth
hahaha exactly
Literally does my head in that does that shit gets forwarded 10 seconds
Nearly a Seth intro haha.
Haha same bro
9:54 "The bike is in one piece" ... the landing sounded like it's not in one piece anymore for sure
Ya Shimano doesn't want them to tell us that it just broke every part they're trying to promote lmao
Ya it was leaning on the jump good chain stay in front broken one against the jump
Think he is speaking of the frameset, why should the shift break?
That was quite a bang I wouldn't ride that bike again without giving it a good check over, ultrasonically even
@@charliewhiskey8440 can they see broken carbon ultra sonically?
I love how Blake throws the bike in front of the "Do Not Throw" sign...
Sam Pilgrim would be like: let's do a flipwhip to barspin on a kids road bike while eating a sandwich 😂
Lmao😂
right, barspin with a road handlebar... trust me, i've tried and failed miserably (a couple of times)...
Backflip to fakie on a quarter pipe, then 180 out. Oh wait, h actually did that, although he popped quite a few tubes and busted quite a few wheels in the process.

@@dvs620 some birds are singing that he rushed down a stairset on a bedframe bike. I see a strong relation between stupid things on bikes and Sam 🤔
Good on Blake. Lesson here is if you do not feel confident on a feature. it is ok to pass on it. Blake is still in one piece and still has his pride. This is called Respect.
Respect 100%! a brained and professional approach from a real athlete to something really crazy. Great video
Most people: can't flip
Blake: it's just a flip right?
My exact thoughts 😂
Is that what martyn said ?
Good to see someone showing that it's ok to back down at times than to risk something and hurt yourself. Probably better as a role model than if he'd actual done it.
When Blake said "Today is a little bit different..." I expected him to say "But kinda the same" XD
Lol same
I was searching for this comment so badly lol😂
*Me totally bored*... UA-cam: "Hey Kids, Wanna see Blake flip a gravel Bike ? :D"
Totally bored indeed
I read the title and thought "of course you can!" because I tried to bunny hop a curb clipped in with a gravel bike and had recently installed some larger tires.....so of course I clipped the curb with the front tire and was sent end over end. Then I realized the title meant on purpose.
I was relieved when I saw the foam pit. I thought the first step would be on dirt and I thought omg is that ever gunna hurt
It takes a lot of wisdom and skill to know the limits. Flip or not blake is our hero
I’ve been waiting to watch this video after I saw a short on it! I’ve just been busy but now that I have watched it I’m soooo stoked to see it go down. You got it Blake!
Everyone mentioning Sam Pilgrim yhea amazing but Martin Ashton was the original Road bike trick rider. Road Blake party!
Well Martin back flipped a road bike, so yeah I guess a gravel bike can be flipped too.
flipped a road bike, ON A GOLF COURSE BUNKER.
Can we bring back the DEATHGRIP CHALLENGE???????
Well all know blake is nearly as good as pilgrim and he’s backflipped a road bike... blakes got this 100%
Don't forget Martin did it years ago you not watched his road bike party videos on here.
@@itarry4 i have seen his video of the backflip and completely forgot about it till you reminded me
We all know Blake can do it. But Blake is the one who actually HAS to do it, hence the nervousness he displays.

The sound of snapping carbon fiber.
For sure Blake has got this!! He nailed it into the foam pit, lad just needs to get comfortable with the bike and boost that confidence 🙌🏾👑
Nice to see the background part of the GCN video Blake
Totally believe that Blake will backflip this bike.
Great stuff GMBN
Well done Blake.
You’ve got it in you buddy. Always been a legend even back on the IOW.
All the best.. Chillee Cherone. ✌🏼
I never new how much I wanted a David Attenborough x cyclist crossover untill this video
Check out the full video over on GCN! gmbn.eu/GCNgravel
@@gmbn thank you, somehow couldn't find it. Its a real blessing
Need more Hank and Ollie on GMBN. And Freddie The Amateur
Jumping a gravel bike is actually terrifying. Couldn't imagine doing big jumps much less a backflip.
What _can’t_ Blake do? Legend!
That pink helmet is absolutely rad.
It was awesome seeing you ride at Windhill last Friday, you are insane
I speechless from just seeing the thumbnail
Sometimes you’ve just got to walk away and save it for another day buddy! Better that and not end up in hospital! Although…..you’ve definitely got this 🤟

So excited to watch that this is my first video of the day.
Have become a Blake fan.
Awesome, Blake, and flat bars and pedals and that could be a new genre--geared light jump bikes. And maybe races with jumps like those crazy fun stadium trucks.
The question is not “can” I flip a gravel bike. It’s “should” I flip a gravel bike
Good to see cardiff skatepark haven’t been there in a while
Live to ride another day. Smart man
This is the best type of content is Blake flipping and steuff
In the 80's my older brother used to take his 10 speed on trails in the gulley by our house, back before mountain bikes, snow boards, and cgi.
Blake is definitely my favorite mountain biker .
is blake evolving?
Probably yes
No he's revolving
Yes just backwards.
@@gundamnit3594 yeah, devolving

The only way you're defeated if you're carried off in a stretcher. Stay smart bruv
Cliffhanger! Huge props for just walking away
😳That was huge!! I can not believe that bike survived that!😬
1:47 music possibly inspired by Jordan boostmaster? Never heard it outside his channel.
Cheer up, Blake, you're not as defeated as the guy at the start of Wide World of Sports. And O how we hurt for that dude every time we saw him crash on that ski jump.
Welcome back you beautiful people 😌
The editing is great on this video
Dude, are you sure the bike is in one piece? That sounded like you smashed either a wheel or your ankle! Daaamn
I’m pretty sure the bike broke. Blake would’ve done it. Lol
Yeah that sounded like a break
yup
That jump scares me as sh*t!
I beat myself up when I pass on something gnarly, I really should give myself a break.
Give the bike to the man Sam. Let him try it. You know he's bonkers.
Dude that jump looks scary AF just regular, like it wouldn’t even send you forward.
Did you try grabbing bars higher with shifters between index and middle fingers? For me it's much more comfortable in sketchy terrain.
I literally wondered the title of this video last weekend when riding my gravel bike and here it is lol
The only flipping I can do is Out when someone touches my bike. Your still my MTB hero Blake 👍
It ain’t over.
It’s seeing stuff like this that i wish the matrix loading skills into yourself like they did with Neo was real
Saw the GCN vid, it's awesome.
Brilliant all round, this man is talented
Whats the title for that video I've been looking everywhere for it
@@10mmGR it's called ' when mtbers do gravel ' on GCN
Masterpiece ; )
Can i flip a bike? Of course, any bike!
While i'm riding it? Hell, no!
good luck with a mx bike
@@Safewoood hmm... that's a good point
"a little different, but kinda the same" was what I thought you were gonna say
Even before I clicked on the video, I knew it would be a YES!
I’m just sayin but would gravel bikes be the ultimate bike to shred a flow trail??
They’re fun on flow trails, just make everything feel a little bit harder so a trail that might be a little boring on an MTB becomes fun again on a gravel bike.
Martyn! What did you teach Blake now?! 😜✌🏼
Just looking at the thumbnail made me say : this is a bad idea 😂
Hank and Blake is just the same guy from a different cycling universe. Change my mind.
Being smart is wiser than being stupid 🤗
well now I need to see the full clip of that instead of just the highlights
you should get with Sam Pilgrim, i think the tow of you would be able to do anything on any bike (i think he has flaired on his road bike with carbon wheels)
oh boy, here we go.
Thumbnail read to instant click
GCN: and he got dropped..
GMBN: welcome back you beautiful people
"DO NOT THROW SCOOTERS OR BIKES", Blake throws bike. 😂
looking forward man, i do believe you can do this. 🤘
Could try some wider short drop gravel bars perhaps ?
Defeat? NO!
It's called sensible 😁😁
IMO that dirt jump wasnt a good place to attempt it. The sharply dropping landing zone pretty much guarantees problems
Great video and the hole video is amazing
Doing that step up on a Mtb is scary enough thanks 😂
You were literally down the road from me!!!
Just send it!
“Barely ridden” Pinarello for sale soon
What 2 words should I put on my riding gloves? Thinking sent it but that’s so typical
Left and right, but do it so the right hand glove says left and vice versa.
You can do anything to a gravel bike as long as you have the guts to do it.
For a second I was like ….. who else but Blake
Yes, yes he can
I still believe!
Please do not risk your health for us...We love you and want you safe...Don't do it...
If Blake goes like this he has the ability to beat Fabio
I doubt it, blake didn't even injure himself once
been waiting for this one
So when is the GGBN channel launching?
Sick
Martyn Ashton did it on a road bike out of a sand trap. Que the Road Bike Party video.
You rock on dropbars
Next time bring hank to do a backflip too 😆
dude got paid to play about and probably a free bike to do a backflip, Well done maybe you should do some give aways with the bikes, its very hard to buy a good bike these days without being ripped off, like they give you the best specs and then a shimano tourney groupset haha
