The sheer joy in Martyn's voice when he talks about riding and the smiles too, are what mountain biking is all about. His maniacal laughter is just the best though!
This reminds me of why I'm trying soooo hard to get back on a bike/trike. It's been 2 years since I ended up in a chair and about 11 months since I've been on the trails with my mates so thank you for posting this and the last few videos.

I very rarely ever comment on UA-cam. It this was a corker!! A feel good video that made me smile from ear to ear the entire time. Martin you are in inspiration to everyone and Blake you are a perfect mate! Look after your selfs.
I would totally watch a show that is just Martyn and Blake traveling around and riding different trails! Their enthusiasm and joy is everything I love about mountain biking.
What a legend Mr Ashton is. Man the dude is an inspiration to us all. Truly humbling watch. At the end when he says how long he has been " inside" makes it even more of an epic day in the bike park. Go Ashton 👍👌
Yes! Yes! And yes! Martyn and Blake are the dream team duo. Always have the biggest smile on my face watching these 2 hit the trails. Great to see Martyn back on the trails.
Now that is what mountain biking is all about fun, friendship and and having a great laugh. This has made me so happy you put a tear in my eye. Ps i love the 1/2mph crashes. 😂😂😂
Martin's face is a thing to rejoice. Very, very inspiring! Furthermore... The guy can send in the in line AND the out line at the same time! That is shredding in a whole new level!
It’s ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL to see Martyn in his element once again. Thanks and Blessings to ya both for sharing these moments.... I mean really Thank you 🙏
That is magic that Martin is thrashing the trails again. I built my disabled father (70 years old) an ebike with 1500 watt hub drive. He hadn't ridden a bike or been walking for over 30 years. I said if you can balance on a bike I'll make you a bespoke ebike. Started with a cheap 250 watt conversion which he was using so we decided to build a monster 1500 watt mtb. Now he goes out once or twice a week. He's so much happier now he gets some exercise. The world is unlocking...! X
2 of the best Energies of GMBN having a great time doing what they love. Martin and Blake, you're legends of the sport and your happiness in your videos is infectious (excuse the covid pun) Keep shredding as always.
I have added riding with Martyn and Blake to the top of my bucket list! You guys have to be the most positive influence in mountain biking today - maybe ever!
I love that between gmbn and gmbn tech they have highlighted and proven that the only thing holding you back is an imagination and positive attitude. The mountain bike community is full of people looking to make things better and solve problems. Anybody can ride a bike, even with physical limitations. We will find a way to get people on the trails. 🤘
What an absolute amazing example of what biking is all about, the sheer joy on the two of your faces,even watching got the stoke factor off the scale... Happy days... 🤙👍🍻
Martyn! You my man are the most badass person I could think of. What a complete legend! Looking like a bunch of happiness bombing with a badass trike down a trail! Total boss in my books.
not going to lie, this had me tearing up a little. the sheer joy on martyns face and in his voice shows how much riding can be a release from the stresses of the world and a way to get away from it all. your can tell he has been needing this for a while, and kudos to bike park wales for allowing him to rip it on those trails with that bike, there are places around me the would allow it because of laws but they would not like it and there are even some people that would be a-holes and actually have the nerve to say something about an " ebike " such as his and how its tearing up the trails. they get mad when people ride trails that are soft in some spots and leave tire tracks in the softer mud sections, not deep trail destroying ruts just very light indents of tire tracks. i don't get to ride much april-july because that's the rainy season here and I wont even touch a trail unless its been rain free for two days after we get rain just so I don't have to hear anyone bitching about riding the trails when they are wet. so happy you guys were able to get out and have a blast.
Without sounding to sappy , this was a beautiful video. To see how happy Martyn was is just awesome! Thank you for sharing the moment. The best to all of you.
It's just amazing to see Martyn on that Bowhead. And I almost had to cry just of sheer happiness that he can be back on tires shredding the Trails...what great times we live in with such inventions
Absolute joy in motion, friendship and MTB community. Thanks for sharing guys. I've watch the development of the Bowhead for a while now and have wondered what would happen if Martyn got his hands on one. Here we are, and it was a beautiful video to watch!
Absolutely adored watching the joy this gave Martyn and Blake. Genuinely heartwarming to see these boys this happy and loving life so much. Big respect to Martyn for this. He’s an inspiration to many and a top man. 👍🏻
Martyn, I was so sad to hear of your injury, but watching this has really inspired me, that bike you've got is awesome, I hope you have many more happy rides, you look like you and Blake are having a blast. Great vid, love it, love it, love it 👍👍👍👍
I don't know what is better. Martyn's smile or his laughter. Seeing the fun both had on a green and blue trail makes me feel better about not being skilled enough for a red or black trail. I also think the word Martyn was looking for is release. Released from the house, the release of endorphins and finally the release from the same old routine.
Love this. Just heard Martyn will be on 5-live in a bit - will be listening in and supporting from a-far! Go Martyn - you are an inspiration, if everyone had your spirit we would have a much happier world!
2 legends of the sport out having fun what an amazing video to watch, true inspiration for anyone watching. Shows that MTB can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of ability or disability. Loved it guys 👍
This is as good watching as it is shredding with your friends. Martin and Blake are the dream gmbn combo. Hugest kudos the bowfin for going above and beyond creating this amazing machine to allow people to enjoy what we all take for granted. I doff my cap to all at gmbn and bowfin.
Martin that thing looks like you get the full sensation of Dh riding and we all can see it on your face. I love how it pitches over and digs in the turns. I love the laughter, that's what it's all about!
I love the infectious enthusiasm, makes me smile every time - classic GMBN. Injured atm but can't wait to get back to BPW... That feeling you get when you first see the sign is one of joyous anticipation!
Fantastic! Dude you're a Rockstar! Love the bike, love the trails. It is great to be back on the trails, can't even put words to it. Ride on, and "Keep the rubber side down"😉✌
The sheer joy in Martyn's voice when he talks about riding and the smiles too, are what mountain biking is all about. His maniacal laughter is just the best though!
Martyn's riding it like he'd stolen it🤣🤣 his face was of a person totally enjoying life 💪
That shot of Martyn towing Blake while laughing hysterically just made my day 😆
EPIC!! Martyn, you are a legend and an inspiration of note. Blake, you are beyond the cool scale. Thanks for sharing this.
Totally agree 👊🏻
This reminds me of why I'm trying soooo hard to get back on a bike/trike. It's been 2 years since I ended up in a chair and about 11 months since I've been on the trails with my mates so thank you for posting this and the last few videos.
Are you in a chair as a result of Mountain Biking? (If you don’t mind me asking)

@@cjapps82 Thank you for your guidance. Very eye opening!!
Watching Martyn and Blake just having fun is propably the best antidepressant in the world :D
The happiness on Martyn's face:)
I very rarely ever comment on UA-cam. It this was a corker!! A feel good video that made me smile from ear to ear the entire time. Martin you are in inspiration to everyone and Blake you are a perfect mate! Look after your selfs.
Love seeing Martyn's laughter. The man is having so much fun.
My 10 year old daughter loved this, both her favourite presenters. She's desperate to meet you both. 🤙👍
My boyfriend met that lads at bpw and was over the moon. I have the mobile phone Lock Screen to prove it!
I see Martyn on his bike, I click like. It’s just science.
Martyn is an absolute legend. Still watch my Chainspotting VHS. Great to see that smile again ✊.
Free with MBUK back in 97. Lost my copy but Thankfully someone uploaded to YT .
Sharing that experience you can tell these two will be mates for life
They already did for years
The giggles!
And the chat at the end. Brings tears to my eyes!
I was smiling from the start till the end, that was a good run Martyn and Blake! Such loads of fun watching you two!
Martyn had absolute blast on these trails! When he was towing Blake uphill, I recon the he was the happiest man in the world!
Legend!
I would totally watch a show that is just Martyn and Blake traveling around and riding different trails! Their enthusiasm and joy is everything I love about mountain biking.
Nearly had me crying towards the end!
gmbn is a youtube channel that shows that men will always be boys, regardless how old they are
Because we’re all boys inside😀🤟
And the moment that changes, life loses its grace.
@@DinnerForkTongue don't grow up, it's a trap
@@djopling511
NEVER.
This video literally makes me feel happy. Seeing Martyn out there shredding it like a boss with his mate. Great stuff!
Hearing these two roar with laughter is juat contageous... You can see, and hear nothing but sheer joy in their voices... ❤️
Best GMBN video in like forever ! My face is hurting from smiling the whole video 😁 Martyn was shredding it 🤙
Martyn is an absolute living legend! Total inspiration! I was smiling the whole way through!
Love seeing Martin ride. He has so much fun and enjoys it so much. Makes me want to ride every time i see him.
Makes my heart feel good to see you out there again Martyn. You’re amazing in every way. Keep shredding.
Definately the best 'feel good' video I have seen in a long time and had me smiling the whole way through. Martyn and Blake, thanks and what legends!
Something magical happens when these two film together, makes you stoked to be alive! Thanks
What a legend Mr Ashton is. Man the dude is an inspiration to us all. Truly humbling watch. At the end when he says how long he has been " inside" makes it even more of an epic day in the bike park. Go Ashton 👍👌
Yes! Yes! And yes! Martyn and Blake are the dream team duo. Always have the biggest smile on my face watching these 2 hit the trails. Great to see Martyn back on the trails.
This is one of the best episodes that GMBN has made yet! It captures the pure joy of mountain biking!! LOVE IT!
Now that is what mountain biking is all about fun, friendship and and having a great laugh. This has made me so happy you put a tear in my eye. Ps i love the 1/2mph crashes. 😂😂😂
Keep these coming.. I can’t wait to get my order in for the bowhead.
That was awesome!!! Love seeing the fun you two had riding! Seeing Martyn so happy brings joy to us all!
Martin's face is a thing to rejoice. Very, very inspiring!
Furthermore... The guy can send in the in line AND the out line at the same time! That is shredding in a whole new level!
Absolutely love any video where Martyn gets to shred some trails. His energy is infectious! And Blake is the best companion for it - soooo much stoke!
The good guys never lose it. Martyn watching you is pure joy. Well Done fella.
Genuinely brought a tear of vicarious joy to my eyes. Nothing better than a good day out on the bikes with your mates.
The levels of energy and sheer enthusiasm Martyn and Blake have is infectious!! watching this just makes me want to ditch work and go shred the trails
It’s ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL to see Martyn in his element once again.
Thanks and Blessings to ya both for sharing these moments....
I mean really Thank you 🙏
That is the face of a man doing what he LOVES! 💪Just awesome!! Makes me feel so good as well! 😊 Hope to see more of Martyn! 🙏

Seeing Martyn ride makes my eyes pee from happiness every time. Your words at the end of the video even more.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘

No one has ever been so happy to do a long steep climb except for you two, but that really looks fun👏👏
Wholesome Sunday content. You love to see it
