I can't stop crying looking at this. He is telling blake do the things he wants to do but he can't. Lots of respect to Martyn, it takes big strength to be denied what you love and still keep looking like you got it together and not falling apart :(
Me going to a bicycle repair Shop. Mechanic: What's the problem? Me: My Crankshaft is broken. Mechanic: how? Me: I was doing stunts. 12:11 Me doing stunts.
One of my favourite things in videos like this (goes for lots of other channels that show tricks in various sports) is seeing the progression from idea through repeated failure to success. Not because I can laugh or point fingers at the mistakes, but because it shows that even the best make mistakes, and that's such an important thing to not only know but also to see in order to motivate people. Far too often we treat failure as the end of the road and something horrible rather than as a natural and expected step on the road towards success, and videos like these help break down that mindset.
This is my favourite video all year! Martyn and Blake rock! It’s so easy to get caught up in racing and epic rides and forget to go out and have some simple fun. Have you thought about doing a podcast?
@@mjcarter11 yes that's him. He was paralyzed from doing a front flip at a triles show at the siverstone race track. These are videos about him explaining what happened.
...from North Pole, Alaska and ride fatbike just about everyday. watch all y'all shows and no doubt Martyn its a joy to see how much fun it is to see you pushing Blake. Good team...
Martin Ashton is a legend . Met him like 15years at a bike show and he signed my t shirt its pinned on my garage wall still to this day he was a big part of my life growing up . So glad he hasn't changed
That was great! I have the same bike. Fully ridgid stock 3.8 with carbon 35 mil rise bar. Bad ass bike. But a wrist crusher on the steep and deep..my favorite Playground! Keep them coming!!!💪
Martyn, I've just got myself a trials bike, and oh my days I'm in love, it's amazing, I totally get it- thank you man :) But dude, you're the friggin world champ, where's all the trials content?! Even just a few vids coaching Blake through sections like this video would be so helpful!! I need some tips!
Really enjoy these street videos with Martyn and Blake. Gives viewers ideas that are awesome for practice that I personally would not think of on my own. Will be trying these (albeit on a much smaller scale than Blake does). Thank you very much for these excellent videos!
Because of this video, not only am I about to buy a Fat Bike, but I am going to start riding a bike again for fun & health (mainly)!! I'm about 65lbs overweight and need something fun to do. I'm positive I'm not 50% or even 15% the rider in the video is, but if I ever do become 15% I think I'll be having a load of fun!! You've got a new subscriber...can't wait to watch more of your vids....and improve my health and fun time!!!!
I have been riding a fat 27 gear mountain bike on the street for 1 1/2 years touring the western USA. I rode it from Jackson WY to Tucson in the fall of 2018 and from Tucson to Flagstaff AZ, the Grand Canyon, Zion NP and back to Flagstaff this year and in two weeks will be riding back to Tucson. I do ride trails sometimes but mostly streets, highways, interstates (where nesessary)
I'm starting to kinda want a fat bike... Also, how on earth do you guys not carry tools to fix that flat?! You need to watch GMBN's "Ten things to take on a mountain bike ride" or GCN's "How to pack for a bike ride"... even those guys know you MUST prepare for flats!
It needs even less, but still - how long does it take? It already feels like it takes forever to pump up a normal 2.4 inch tyre with a foot pump (compared to a 25-28 mm tyre up to 5-6 bar)
Two friends, 2 pro riders. Martyn can coach trial all day! Blake, have shown a superb performance with the 4 rocks and the manual down the slide!! Great to see real goods friends pros that have some gray hair by the way 😄🎅and have real fun on your show. This was a Great show!👌 Thank's for that!
Saying one more is 100% a bad luck charm, everytime ive said 1 more run when biking, ive fell off. So if I do say it accidentally I just tell myself to stop and pack away
Hey GMBN! Keep up the awesome work! I watch your videos every day and would love to meet you guys! I am thirteen years old from Cork Ireland and I ride a bmx as I couldn't afford a dirt jumper: ( Awsome video as always guys!
Buffalo 51 In the Midwest streets are garbage! Potholes, curbs and glass, trash! I ride a Trek commuter bike and the smaller tires tear your balls up with the raggedy streets! Lol
There are no rules as to where you can ride your fatbike.i ride mine all year round,and i am more than happy with it.anyone who says otherwise needs to get a life and stfu.your negative opinions really fall flat about my fat.
@@iffy5bassthunder677 love what you said. I've had one person tell me they're only for sand/snow and that they're too hard to ride on pavement. I wish people would keep comments like that to them because it discourages people from going out and having fun. Both my parents who know nothing about bikes did a little test ride and were amazed and how smooth and comfortable the ride is. Which is true, doesn't matter where you're riding, it just feels like you're floating. Fat bikes are enjoyable however you wanna ride.
When's the last time you went for a street ride?
Yesterday
1 sec
never
I ride street whenever I go to oxford because there are so many amazing spots
yesterday
I can't stop crying looking at this. He is telling blake do the things he wants to do but he can't. Lots of respect to Martyn, it takes big strength to be denied what you love and still keep looking like you got it together and not falling apart :(
@Thomas Croon Thats a stupid word and it doesnt matter who you are, not being able to do things you were once able to do and love anymore sucks.
I'd say it's Martyn having a laugh being the Taskmaster ;-)
Been using mtb for so long and this vid made me consider having a fat bike
Living Vicariously, do it it every day through my kids and I'm not disabled, just jealous of being their age again 😂🤣
Blake & Maryn are a riot together, the perfect duo.
Its Martyn
12:31 dismounting like a boss!
Nose manual to dismount!
We seriously need more of these two and this bike.
We do!
You two have way too much fun doing these videos.
There is no thing as too much fun my friend
Me going to a bicycle repair Shop.
Mechanic: What's the problem?
Me: My Crankshaft is broken.
Mechanic: how?
Me: I was doing stunts.
12:11 Me doing stunts.
Fr me
ahahah you're the best together
indeed!! =P
Trials stuff was nuts. Big props for getting through, didn’t think it was possible. You guys are so awesome together!

i was just about to give up wheeling but u gave me hope again thx mate
This is my favourite video all year! Martyn and Blake rock! It’s so easy to get caught up in racing and epic rides and forget to go out and have some simple fun. Have you thought about doing a podcast?
Happy you liked it Chris Hamilton. Thing is, these guys are all about the face time, so not sure if a podcast would suit!
Martin knows how to play Blake's strings
do you think Blake takes Duracell or is he wind up?
MichaelTV44 is that Martin that used to ride for saracen and then rode for Canondale?
Why is he in a wheelchair? He was a wizard on bikes.
@@mjcarter11 yes that's him. He was paralyzed from doing a front flip at a triles show at the siverstone race track. These are videos about him explaining what happened.
This is my favourite series on GMBN - The chemistry between the two are just infectious
I love Martyn's wise words at 11:03: There's no place for "annoyed" when Trials riding! Trials is Zen!
I like how Martin has gloves on and Blake doesn’t
HarryWooldridge i think martin has them to protect his hands because he has to spin his wheels with his hands?
Wouter VeIdhuis it’s to stop the wheels with your hands without getting your hands molested
@@Brian-cr1ep molested😂😂
@@wouterveidhuis8653 his hands are the rim brake pads lol
@sprinkles cup cake his legs got paralyzed in a mtb crash
More Fat bike!!!
Two mates out having a good time. One of the best GMBN videos.
...from North Pole, Alaska and ride fatbike just about everyday. watch all y'all shows and no doubt Martyn its a joy to see how much fun it is to see you pushing Blake. Good team...
I absolutely LOVE you guys! This is my absolute favorite thing on the internet today. Keep it coming!
Put Blake on a bmx next!
nick the car guy
Then it wouldn’t be gmbn
So gbn

Imagine those Fatbike tyres on the wheelchair🔥😂
Martin Ashton is a legend . Met him like 15years at a bike show and he signed my t shirt its pinned on my garage wall still to this day he was a big part of my life growing up . So glad he hasn't changed
Take the fat bike on a downhill trail you'll be surprised how well they work!
Derek Joon I think Neil did that a long time ago... With a beard, and beer.
ZeroSeriesMMX I'll have to search for it, I took mine downhill and was so surprised how well it did
Search no more, my friend:
ua-cam.com/video/yxe-B_LrIdo/v-deo.html
I tried it and its so fcking fun
Na, glad you like it though
How can someone dislike this? Pureness. Epic. Wonderful.
Great channel fellas. Really like these episodes with the two of you together. Good stuff
These two look like the very best of friends God bless both of you 2 cool dudes.
When you're wearing a cheesy smile watching the entire video you know someone's doing something right! Great video :¬)
I was actually doing that 😂
Truth
That was great! I have the same bike. Fully ridgid stock 3.8 with carbon 35 mil rise bar. Bad ass bike.
But a wrist crusher on the steep and deep..my favorite Playground! Keep them coming!!!💪
11:43 Thankyou sensai Ashton for the advice
So far the best fat bike video that I have seen. That's what it is all about: Taking the bike to the edge again and again!!
Please do ebay mountainbike challenge!
Hmm! Perhaps!
You can find really nice bikes on ebay so it wouldnt change much
Ebay has anybike
I love it with martyn in any vidoes. But with blake they are a dream team! Martyn still knows his stuff, keep it up :)
You are crazy! Best video ever!
Literally the best GMBN duo ever!
18 people gave this a thumbs down? Criminal, I say!
Hear, hear!
you 2 are like kids having fun and martyn's bad influence. i love it
Epic! More fat bike please
Last part on rocks is amazing, marvelous and exotic.
Martyn, I've just got myself a trials bike, and oh my days I'm in love, it's amazing, I totally get it- thank you man :)
But dude, you're the friggin world champ, where's all the trials content?! Even just a few vids coaching Blake through sections like this video would be so helpful!!
I need some tips!
I have one of those bikes. Growler double stout. Mine is equipped like no other. Thanks Willow !!!!
12:43 That's how you OTB in style!
You guys are really great at showing the versatility and credibility of a fat bike.... and some awesome bike skills too!
Awesome video. Can we get more trials based videos guided by Martin? It'd be great to get some tips and tricks from the master.
Really enjoy these street videos with Martyn and Blake. Gives viewers ideas that are awesome for practice that I personally would not think of on my own. Will be trying these (albeit on a much smaller scale than Blake does). Thank you very much for these excellent videos!
12:23, that bottom bracket just took one for the team.
It's a hard life being a Blake bike
The way he went for a spud in 9:37 and nicely changed it to make it look like he didnt get blanked😂😂😂
That looks like so much fun I never knew fat bikes could be this capable and now I seriously want to try out a fatbike, great video!
And all thath grip with the least gripy Jumbo Jim, there are a lot better Tyre
DimensionsOfEarth Get one! So much fun.
Two thumbs WAY UP. You guys are a great team.
14:19 Loved it 😂😂😂
One of my fave ever gmbn videos, what a duo :))))
More fat bike action please!
This was great, I love Martyn egging him on. I wasn’t aware he was not apart of Gmbt, I’ll definitely start watching more.
Martyn needs to teach Blake the secrets of street riding a road bike.
These series of videos with Martyn and Blakey are just epic, keep em' coming fellas :)
Will do!
Blake is rad!
These Videos with Blake and Martyn are great!
No better guide for trails than mr Martyn
How have I only just discovered this channel? You guys are brilliant together, just going out and having fun, love it!
Fat bikes looks extreamly fun!
They are!
These two are sooo good together!
3:18 are fatbikes that light? :D
JorgePT
Blake is just so hulk like:)
About the same weight as a DH bike 28-32lbs or 13.5kg.
Canyon Dude, without the fork and dropper and set up tubeless is about 24-25 lbs. So he's probably near 27-28 lbs with the fork and dropper
We have our carbon Fatboys down to 24 -25 pounds.
JorgePT mine weighs in at 46 pounds. It rides like a tank but once moving it's like hills and everything else is just the norm
Because of this video, not only am I about to buy a Fat Bike, but I am going to start riding a bike again for fun & health (mainly)!! I'm about 65lbs overweight and need something fun to do. I'm positive I'm not 50% or even 15% the rider in the video is, but if I ever do become 15% I think I'll be having a load of fun!! You've got a new subscriber...can't wait to watch more of your vids....and improve my health and fun time!!!!
next gmbn tech video : how to deal with bent chainrings :D
My personal opinion is that other than Matt from GCN, Blake is THE MOST ENTERTAINING presenter!!! He's freakin' hilarious!
What sort of damage did the bike take when blake smashed the BB shell against that rock? Scratches? or something more substantial?
I was cringing whenever the chainring/bottom bracket smashed into that rock. It was painful to watch being an un-sponsored, casual rider here.
I have been riding a fat 27 gear mountain bike on the street for 1 1/2 years touring the western USA. I rode it from Jackson WY to Tucson in the fall of 2018 and from Tucson to Flagstaff AZ, the Grand Canyon, Zion NP and back to Flagstaff this year and in two weeks will be riding back to Tucson.

Nero Inclan Every biker should have a fat bike in the quiver
But how long would it take to pump up a fat tyre with a small hand pump?
Its do able i love mine
koko lores It only needs 20-25 psi
It needs even less, but still - how long does it take? It already feels like it takes forever to pump up a normal 2.4 inch tyre with a foot pump (compared to a 25-28 mm tyre up to 5-6 bar)
love the interaction between these 2 mates.

Was that ratboys boat at 1:45??
You guys are great. Ordered my fat bike and eagerly waiting for it.
Just subscribed. Goooo!
He is really trying to get a mate to roll with him on wheel chairs
True story.
This channel is spectacular. Well done on producing great videos time and time again.
Great Video
Love these videos with blake and martyn. Keep it up boys!
Good ol' voice break to start the video.
Two friends, 2 pro riders. Martyn can coach trial all day! Blake, have shown a superb performance with the 4 rocks and the manual down the slide!! Great to see real goods friends pros that have some gray hair by the way 😄🎅and have real fun on your show. This was a Great show!👌 Thank's for that!
5:34 That was really scary :)
Very glad to see these dudes having a good time.
1000 times like for this video
Love Fat Bikes! And love watching Blake and Martin having so much fun! Awesome video!
What happened for the guy in wheelchair? (I dont remember the name)
Two mates having a laugh. Thanks so much, smiles and laughs all the way though.
Superb video
Thumbs up when Blake hit that gap!!
Good show
Saying one more is 100% a bad luck charm, everytime ive said 1 more run when biking, ive fell off. So if I do say it accidentally I just tell myself to stop and pack away
It's all in your head
Tis all good to do 'one more'. I think the superstition is more about not saying 'last run' as last lends itself to never again.... :)
Agree, it's all in your head. Like taking a corner and staring at that BIG tree...boom!
Damn, you guys are on a roll with the epic videos, it just keeps on getting better. Thanks guys and gals.
My dad drives a fat bike 3 times a week 20 km each way he has no trouble with a fat bike on roads
More Martyn + Blake videos
They are always fun 😀
Poor chainring :D
Chainring...BB...tire....rim....
I really loved Martyn teaching Blake how to do trials. Can we see more of that?
Hey GMBN! Keep up the awesome work! I watch your videos every day and would love to meet you guys! I am thirteen years old from Cork Ireland and I ride a bmx as I couldn't afford a dirt jumper: ( Awsome video as always guys!
Thanks Mel Walsh! Keep riding whatever bike you have!
Global Mountain Bike Network THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING THIS JUST MADE MY MONTH!!!!!!!!
Keep riding bmx, it's more tech and when you get a MTB you'll be shredding park laps with boys all day.
Sorry Blake but these vids with you and Martyn are life threatening and brilliant!!!! More please!!!
I want that bike👍👍😘😘
Nirav Solanki buy it
OneRandomOsuPlayer
I already bought
Nirav Solanki well then yih don't want this bike anymore because you already have it 😂👌 being but u decided in 2-5 days??? U wish I could do that
What bike is this?
Jun Yang
Fat bike
The combo od these two is just priceless, and the fat bike is so awesome!
The funny thing is that most of the people use fat bikes in the city :P
Buffalo 51 In the Midwest streets are garbage! Potholes, curbs and glass, trash! I ride a Trek commuter bike and the smaller tires tear your balls up with the raggedy streets! Lol
Never seen anyone riding a fat bike in the streets...but i heard a guy rode one in an ironman competition??
@@heavystarch100 definitely agree there. I see them often in the streets here in Michigan. Roads are garbage 🗑
