So can Roadies ride EMTB ? Absolutely. I think Hank was brilliant and learned really quickly. There is still work to do on his helmet choice though :-D
So much great technique here for new too ebike riders! I am an experienced climber and I was shocked by sitting down on the ebike. Can’t wait to try it!
Nice video and big props to Hank for the progression. But seriously, give him some protection, what's the point of doing this without some pads? It just sends the wrong message, I've seen several videos on embn or gmbn about the benefits of protection and when to use it, and a bike park seems like a place to always wear it. Especially when you're a novice. Ollie had fullface and pads when he rode trails with Blake on gmbn. Despite that, super video. More of these crossovers, we need more Hank offroad 😎🤟
to be fair, on GCN Hank has demonstrated that he is more than willing to put his body on the line (esp his perineum). So it wasn't too surprising to see him rise to this challenge. I'm still a big skipping rope about any offroad doings though.
Hank isn't a normal roadie though is he. Never mind the experience he's already had riding MTB with GMBN that's not what I mean. He's nuts, basically fearless and never ever refuses a challenge no matter how hard. Mind you his understanding of MTB and especially the way suspension works has improved loads. Either you told him what to say, and I don't think you did or he's really getting his head around the way full suspension reacts when hitting ramps etc.
I always found road bikes more hard work and less fun in my younger yrs , mountain biking to me is much more fun and not so hard work , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧 funny video this ,,,
Shows again that Emtbs are not for racing just Fun Fun Fun. To me racing is a form of ego shuffling with more disappointment than joy. The magic of Emtbs is they turn us into gleeful kids again and broaden our ability to explore terrain multiplying the benefits of one of mans greatest gravity cheating inventions the bicycle. It's not one or the other but having both naturally aspirated bikes and Emtbs to enhance the pleasure of cycling. E=Mtb²
That's wrong.. lots of pros use them (Nico Voullilloz for example) with clipless you have absolute control on cadence and pedal stroke, the control is all the way better than on flat pedals.
@@Wargwarn lol you have a motor, and you don't have to pedal? Of course you do... maybe you don't know what are talking about. Instead of saying that spd are pointless simply try to understand why are used and what are the benefits using that kind of pedals, the fact ebikes have a motor simply doesn't mean the clipless are not useful... don't like them? Don't use them simply as that.
@@nicolapellegrino1072 clearly you don't know what you are talking about. The benefits of spds on a normal bike are completely irrelevant on an ebike, the motor makes up for it. Think about it... Or do I have to spell it out for you?
@@Wargwarn clearly I ride bikes from thirty years, ebikes from four and I don't know what I'm talking about... surely you've come to teach me how to use spd which I use from twenty years at least and saying that are "useless" on ebikes... no they aren't, you maybe think they are but as I already said the control with clipless is all the way better (for those who prefer that type of pedal) than flat saying that are "useless" means "ignorance". (There's always someone that has different opinions.. it doesn't mean you're right... try to respect and maybe think about about your ideas they maybe not right as you can think)

Thanks for the feedback Justin :) You're going to love it!
would love to see more of you teaching him how to ride
Mountain biking is an exercise in confidence building. I love it. You can make anyone a better person with a mountain bike and some encouragement!
That Husky Ebike look on fire 🔥
Hank was a blast in this! I think you need to get Hank back, then team him up with Blake for an epic GCN, GMBN & EMBN session!
Hank did great. I want to see more :) Great rider.
I mean… I think it’s about time the PlaySports Network had a multi-discipline presenter. Hank’s a good candidate (e-MTB, MTB, Road).

Be good to have more of Hank on EMBN, and maybe Chris on GCN?
Great to see a novice on here to prove how much better life is with an ebike. Good work hank 👍.

I'm surprised it wasn't Ollie doing this, with his experience of drops
🤣🤣🤣
My 96 year old grandmother could ride an eMTB.
Great stuff Hank. Don't leave GCN just yet but they can borrow you from time to time. Top effort and a great coach from EMTB
Which channel will kill Hank? Place your bets now.
Hank..the energizer bunny,up for anything, bring him back.
These videos should be cross posted to GCN.
Should have gotten Si too with Hank. Si did pro mtb before.
Watch out letting someone ride your E MTB. Given the pricing in your last video it might cost ya 300 quid in maintenance.
Roadies can shred emtb! Yeeehaaw 🤘👍👍
I wanna see hank on an e bike vs hank on his motorbike.
Thanks for the tip on how to do climb having saddle down with emtbs really cool
Epic, so good to see. Challenge Chris to a time trial
But wait..these are not mtb's ;-)
They can, but they shouldn't.

You were brilliant Hank
Was funny making fun of cycling kit, it helps to have a sense of humor about wearing skintight lycra
Lots of shifting under load on those tech climbs 😬 nice work on drops and Jump tho.
Nappy and a disco suit. I'm dead.
I always found road bikes more hard work and less fun in my younger yrs , mountain biking to me is much more fun and not so hard work , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧 funny video this ,,,
Gfbn = global folding bike network
Anyone interested in this new channel!?
Hank has to come back - I've learned a lot.
Epic; have him over again; for a new ebiker that was a perfect way to learn techniques
What a Hanker.
Fair plays Hank! Done brilliantly there.
Great Video! One of my favorites! Thank you 🙏
Took one out the other day… loved EVERY SECOND!
Brilliant thanks for the footage boy's
Didn't he do well! Hats off to the lad, he was a natural!.
so I am not the only one who makes sounds on the bike when it is fun
This dude on a road bike is wasted potenzial!
Get Hank back on he’d make a good emtb presenter 👍
More Hank on embn please!
Get him back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah….. Another one eats the Dirt…… and Loves the Ebike
Welcome Aboard Hank !!!
LOOK’N GOOD BOYS
How about getting Chris to do something like what GCN did to Blake in the FTP video a few years back. Or a Zwift race.
For anyone watching, don't try to learn wheelies for the first time clipped in. Learn to bail off the back first.
Climbing whit the seat up works great you need to lower your body position and far as foward when climbing and sit on the edge of your seat
Seriously my dad is not a cyclist and he's 82 and he jumped on my ebike and my sisters and rode them all over the place !
Great work Hank & Chris
That was great, I learned a lot
Poor cameraman was obviously getting attacked by a wasp at 10:40 🤣
Yes we Wanna See ihm more…
Hank is always a blast!
Hank has seen the light, fun! Yes to more Hank...fresh eyes learning fine detail
Great ride Hank!
Get Hank back on!
Yeah make him a permanent member rides MTB better than me I,be got 30 years experience
All that r&d to design and make a well ventilated helmet only to have someone wear a hat under it🤔
That was great
Well done Hank !!!! Cross discipline is cracking !!!
Put Hank in, in place of the salty Welshman 👍
Hank is definitely not a newbie in in mountain biking.
GCN starts to shredd !!! nice to see :)
Be great to see Chris out with Blake and Hank
Yes, have him on the show again and others from the other channels. Really enjoyed this episode, thank you.
Definitely more Hank please.
Next up...... Hank's Dad!
Love it. More Hank!!!
More Hank, please
More Hank pls!
chris is great
Hank is legit
The bikes are absolutely beautiful 😊 Just wanted to say THIS 😅🤷♂️
Hank is my favorite gcn presenter. Sorry Si.
There's tough competition at GCN.
Yes :-)
Weird seeing as brand that’s associated in Canada with weed trimmers and chainsaws on an emtb.
Motorcycles were way before P.E.
@@mkmmarketing see that’s what I’m saying. They don’t sell those here and the brand has a completely different association in my mind.

It's good watching a roadie have fun in the woods.
after seeing this video he is worthy of being in team EMBN
Spds on an emtb are completely pointless
That's wrong.. lots of pros use them (Nico Voullilloz for example) with clipless you have absolute control on cadence and pedal stroke, the control is all the way better than on flat pedals.
@@nicolapellegrino1072 it's an ebike, you have a motor 🤦🏼

good vid .... i haven't ridden my road bike since getting my first emtb .... 5 years ago ... fun factor is off the scale!
Swap Jones for Hank, will improve the channel no end
"Roadies, they sit around coffeshops talking about hair removal"👌🏻😂🤣
Road bikers, men who haven't got the guts to come out.
Great video
