GmbN get me into mtb.. which is best thing man can do for fun and health.. Blake you are huge part of it! And not only funny presenter but descent person who does plenty good for others. With positive vibes and honesty. I am big fan of you and gmbn.
Blake Samson ...is the best thing that happened to GMBN. 🔥 His unlimited energy gives ME motivation to further develop and practice my skills... I always loved mountain bikes but I could only afford anything "rideable" not, until I was 19... (Now I'm 29) I had to work really hard and save every penny, for that XC bike. Also, never had a chance to ride as much as you Blake... It was always work. So I don't have such skills... BUT... ! I just got my first Trail bike just a few months ago. All because of this amazing guy Blake! I watch all the GMBN videos, my social media is just Mountain Bikes. I want to ride everyday. I even literally dream of riding a bike... 😖 Hobby and passion turned into obsession. I just can't stop thinking about it. I really wish to, one day, be like Blake. And travel to Rotorua, Whistler and so on... I still got 6 years right? 🤣 I have a lot to learn But I will not give up.
Blake makes everything fun and entertaining! I don't even have a mountain bike only a folding e-bike but when I see Blake, I click! Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
No matter if it’s cheap as dirt, a mountainbike is the most fun you can have on a bicycle, ever! Eventuell someday you have enough money to get a „decent“ mountainbike, but until that day just enjoy what you’ve got and ride the hell out of it! The most limiting factor will always be you, not the bike! (The exception from this rule would of course you being a pro rider, but that’s likely not the case)
Met Blake, Martyn and Neil at Whistler a couple of years ago. There is a saying to never meet your heroes but I'm glad I did. 😁 Blake was super nice when I asked to have a photo taken with their group. Hope to bump into them again soon. 😁
@@riptheguys3635 definitely a great experience. I checked the photo and it was just last year when I saw them. 😁 m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156382814576935&id=569701934&set=gm.876073952774697&source=57
People are saying that Blake is the best and I totally agree with that, but the editors today...... This video was top notch! Gmbn if you can see this, tell the editors that they did a great job!
41 years old!! After leaving the army I was a bit lost and only just got into mountain biking in the bast 4 months!! Honestly it is the best fun for fitness and everyone you meet out on the trails are great so far!! What a life Blake has had!!
Waking up to GMBN videos with my brew is a great start to my day. I received my StarGazer sticker today. Just wish my new mtb is ready to collect. Thanks Blake cool video 👍😎
This dude is a “Supa Nice” bloke. Blake god bless your energy and kindness. It transpires and it is very inspiring and warming, ot really is. I’m 39, loved bikes all my life. But life got slightly in the way. However through GMBN I got the itch back, so in 2018 I bought my first ever full suss and never looked back. I’m even racing local enduro races and there’s not a week I do not look forward to go out and ride. 🤘
Blake’s mum might just be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet all week what a legend! What a humble guy Blake is! Honestly so much love for the guy such a rad dude who keeps me so stoked and motivated to ride!!! Loved this!!
I usually don't write comments but for this video I have to say, "I love it." I love that you show your community who you are and introduce us to your loved ones. It makes you real and relatable. It would be so cool for all the GMBN presenters to do personalized bios like this. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
You have wonderful parents Blake to go through the upheaval moving from Zim it must of been a life changing decision I can see why they are proud. Keep up the good work🤙🏻
Just found this after loving GMBN. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Inspiring me to love all biking even more. Some day it'd be an honor to have a Cuppa or a Pint and share stories!
Love Blake his class on a bike and hilarious👌🏻 his one of the reasons I got into mountain biking and to start my own UA-cam channel. Keep it up blake👌🏻👌🏻
Love the stuff your doing with Deaks Brendog Odubs et all. Also Those vids at Whistler with the dillycam & with skills with Phil are truly fantastic lad. Keep it up.
Well having a proud dad, looking at you with that smile... if that's not the most rewarding thing that can happen to you, I don't know what it is. Keep it up Blake, you are doing a great job with GMBN :)
Inspiring story. My mate started a YT channel & at first I was bit doubtful that it would work but six months later he’s grinding out the vids & visiting some great places in the north of England. Hope it works out for him Give him a follow it’s called bearded Viking mtber, it’ll make his day to get more viewers 🤙🏻
Blake I remember when I first met you and Ray up at our bike park at King of dirt,I'm so pleased your doing so well buh,stay safe biglove & much respect
I have nothing but respect for Blake so humble and appreciative for the way things have gone for him, well done buddy you deserve it, you can feel the love he has for MTB awesome stuff
Watching GMBN for over a year now and I had the chance to ride my first MTB a couple days ago and I have to say : That was as fun as Blake make it look like. And that's why he's so good as a presenter, he love MTB so much and he's so good at sharing that feeling of fun and excitement of it. Man, you just gotta love Blake.
I born in Slovakia and I did MTB as a child. But later I moved to the Czech Republic and MTB and I mostly forget what is MTB. Then I discovered GBMN, Martyn, Neil, Doddy & Blake. Blake was the force that brings me back to MTB. Now I ride my bike daily. Even in Winter. And when I'm not riding, I watching GBMN :-)
Fantastic vid :) last year you got me out of the sofa and into mountainbiking again. after a 15 year break . tanks and keep up the good work ! :) im now training for a 88km xc race oh jeah :)
Love you brother. You are my favorite GMBN guy. You are the reason I actually watch especially because i'm a diehard hardtail rider. Keep it up ma man!
My partner and I have taken up biking, for me I'm a beginner I had not ridden since I was a kid even though last week I had a bike accident and fractured my collar bone. Once I'm healed I'll be back on the bike. My partner is a fan of your channel and has got me into it too so thank you for making the lockdown better. When we ride and take in the views it's just been amazing so thank you.
They made a great call hiring you man, you have an infectious personality that makes GMBN videos memorable. I'm actually a recent viewer just starting to get my head around the MTB scene trying to learn all the stuff that's changed in the decade since I stopped. Learned a shitload from Doddy, kept coming back to watch videos because you cracked me up so much with the Mullet and trail vs Enduro Blake. Now I'm just watching GMBN videos every day. You sir, are what made this channel stand out while I'm just watching an absolute scatter gun of channels trying to absorb info.
I knew I could hear a hint of Rhodesia in his accent when I first watched him on a GCN crossover vid. I like that he roped his mum into it, that's awesome.
Which GMBN presenter would you like to see next? Let us know 👇
Hardcore Pawn 😂😂 harrssshhhhh
Everyone!
Just do everyone from GMBN. 🤙
No exceptions! 😁😅
Doddy or Rich
Blake ... Again
Maybe there was on already but Neil would be interesting one to watch
Blake's the most humble guy in the world. 👍👍
Can't imagine gmbn without bingers
Why do they call him bingers? Lol
@@brokenlegz it's what Mr Ashton calls him 🤷🏻♂️
Nope Chad Broxh is
Blake's Mum is AMAZING!💗

Blake MAKES GMBN so easy to watch. Addictive personality, funny, humble, genuine.
"if you can't even bunnyhop"
Damn Blake is on to me..
What is this hopping bunny you speak of? :)
Mee too. But it is on the list for things to learn.
I jumped off a curb yesterday 🤣dam I feel king of the Roadies 🙈
Carl Wilkinson you jumped your roadbike of a curb?
Damn there must be a Sam Pilgrim somewhere in your genes!
Yeah
I don't why but Blake seems like the best presenter. He has it all. Great riding skills, funny personality and great teacher. I love him so much
Great guy, but he's married. Sorry, Pat.
i love how blake and his mum have the exact same laugh
Blake Samson

Hell yes

Hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
I will definitely get an mtb soon!

Blake’s been shredding ever since he was a kid
Blake’s family is lovely...totally can see where Blake gets his personality 🤙
Blake, you're the best! Love your humor and positive attitude!
Met Blake, Martyn and Neil at Whistler a couple of years ago. There is a saying to never meet your heroes but I'm glad I did. 😁

Totally agree, One of the best videos on the channel
What a fantastic career you've had Blake totally amazing and the support of a great family, your a lucky man indeed.
Hey Blake I live in South Africa I’m 15 and I’ve recently started getting more serious about MTB. Love your videos keep them coming
Hi Blake you are the best

Thankyou bro 👍😂
Blake Spicksley lol
Agreed

41 years old!! After leaving the army I was a bit lost and only just got into mountain biking in the bast 4 months!! Honestly it is the best fun for fitness and everyone you meet out on the trails are great so far!! What a life Blake has had!!
If I ever got anyone wrong it’s Blake! Can’t help but admire his grit and determination (even if I’ll never ride like him 🤣).
Me to, once I first started watching gmbn I thought he came across as condescending but it honestly couldn’t further from the truth.
@@domanater480 I just though he was too try-hard in the first video of his I saw... but actually he’s a god damned legend!
Waking up to GMBN videos with my brew is a great start to my day. I received my StarGazer sticker today. Just wish my new mtb is ready to collect. Thanks Blake cool video 👍😎
dislikers need there bikes taken off them and saddles removed and made to do a downhill track with the seatpost full extended 👍🤣
That’s just too much detail. Too much
Ye
Blake is my fav GMBN presenter!
This dude is a “Supa Nice” bloke.
Blake god bless your energy and kindness. It transpires and it is very inspiring and warming, ot really is.

Finally. Aww your mum is lovely
I stop biking 25 years ago and thanks to you I rediscover myself... Now I'm again with my beloved bike in the mountains. Thanks mate 🤘
Probably my favourite presenter .... alway funny and where does he get that energy from .... I want to know the source... keep up the great work Blake
Blake’s mum might just be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet all week what a legend! What a humble guy Blake is! Honestly so much love for the guy such a rad dude who keeps me so stoked and motivated to ride!!! Loved this!!
I would love to get on a ride day with Blake. Best energy ever 👍
Blake’s my favourite presenter, and I loved hearing all about his life.
You wrote 4 minutes after the video was released, so there is no way you watched 15m of this video...
maybe he has a time travelling delorean and traveled back in time to have his comment written sooner and more likely to get likes
You and everyone, the whole gmbn crew is good tho
Never stop being you Blake. You've always been an inspiration and will continue to be one. 🤟
This is the best “Meet the Presenter” of both GCN and GMBN combined! Emotional indeed! Inspiring!
Blake is gnarly.
This guy makes me wanna pick up mountain biking😂
Now is the time!
The question is, why havent you yet?
@@yvan2218 HAHAHA spent everything on a tri bike :P
@@aaroiseverything then spend less on food and more on mtb great lol
@@yvan2218 great idea!!
I thought I loved Blake before, but now I know he used to play rugby... He’s the BEST !
Love watching you blake, your awsome🤟🏽
Love you, Blake! You and Martyn are my favorite mountain bikers!

Love Blake! Great personality, superb skills. Love that he's a family man, and how he interacts with his wife. Great role model!
GMBN we need more of such videos!
The reason I started watching GMBN was because of Neil, the reason I stayed in GMBN was because of Blake.
I love watching his videos because he always starts with “Welcome back you beautiful people!”
Can’t even do a bunny hop @myself

Hi Blake, I can’t do much on a mountain bike but I am inspired. Great video👍🏿

When you find out Blake was a back and not a forward 😭😭😭😭
Blake's mum was hilarious 😂 you can see where Blake gets it from!!
Blake is the best
Lead by example, follow your dreams and make them happen! Great to see this.
Would love to meet you Blake you come across as an awesome bloke. Down to earth and you seem so genuine. Keep up the great work 😎
