    I love how laid back and normal Neil is. Normal guy that can ride the hell out of a bike.

    • @lossantoscity3249
      @lossantoscity3249 3 роки тому

      He is like my Friend, just a fun bloke to hang out who happens to be a good dirtjumper, he hasn't won a big stage yet but he is very competitive and join loval competitions. Neil is just a humble guy who happens to be good at mountain bikes, also he is very chill in front of camera. Which a lot of pro's doesn't really have. Some pro's have that immense aura feel from them.

  • @skullsroad3642

    After this series, you guys should do a GMBN movie. A 20-30min banger with the whole crew.

    What a well rounded guy. Bet your parents are very supportive. Such a great role model for younger people to look up to, love the 'Just do what you love, everything will be alright' vibe.

    Good for you mate. I started mountain biking at 50. Now I'm 52. In between that I been listening to your word of wisdoms in mountain biking. And you are my idol. "Live Long and Prosper" dude.

    I really enjoyed that! I got into mountain biking about the same time as GMBN started, so it feels like you have been a constant part of my mountain biking life.
    I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.

  • @ahsan366
    @ahsan366 6 років тому +3

    Great video Neil! My grandfather always used to say that one should do (work & profession wise) what they love and I think your life fits that advice perfectly. Really love the advice & tips you and the crew give out in the channel , although I’m not a professional rider but your videos improve my riding skills and so it’s a much more enjoyable experience. Your videos also inspire and motivate me to get up & ride more. I wish you best of luck in all your future endeavours. P.S hats off to the guys at trailhead (your first sponsors), these kinda people are like angels as they help make dreams come true!

Was good to see him going through his memories and show us the photos and videos of him in years gone by. If I see him around Shrewsbury I’ll say a quick hello and tell him to keep up the good work.
    By the way, where’s his local track, please? It looks good. Thanks.
