Where do you want to see Blake and Neil ride next?
Cross the Alps maybe, or something like the balkans
Sunpeaks Canada
The ocean
Colorado! Plenty of epics to be had!
Hills above Rearaig in Scotland there are good trails there
You should give the 3rd guy a shout out. He filmed, droned and haunted a bothy for you as well as complete the ride. Well done all 3 of you :)
Yeah he was my son Nick P. Great vid mate.
You're right, kudos to that lad.🤘
Nice one Nick P!
came here to say exactly this, props to the guy filming in the cold and the rain.
Epic guys.. I'm from Singapore and we don't have places like this.. I work as a food delivery rider on my bike and that is as much an epic ride for me everyday.. You guys really inspire the adventure that was tucked away for so many years.. Keep up the good work!.. Mtb for life 🤘!
Keep doing T15 😂😂
@@khairunsyazwin good trail that one
@@perfectlife2359 sadly we’re stuck in this tiny island for now
@@khairunsyazwin true.. So I have to settle for my daily epic rides of food delivery 😄😄😄
I suggest you visit the Philippines if you want more to experience rides like this :)
Mctrail Rider delivers these videos to us in amazing quality. He even gets the weather!
Scottish tourist board should give him an award for being the best advertiser for the countryside. He was a joy to watch throughout the many lockdowns,
Dear goddess, shout out to the cameraman! Tackling that AND planning and executing the shots. Big cheers, mate!
Scotland is incredible for riding, but its one of those places you just need to watch the weather and jump on a good day, rather than plan ahead, hoping its ok. Still beautiful even when the weather is bleak. Nice work guys!
This is the real mountain biking. Epic!
Love this!! Really dig Blake's camera angles at times, especially chest cam when we can observe both Neil's and his line choices through that insane terrain
One of the best videos you guys did. Looks truely Scottish (you could have seen snow though :D) and the remoteness adds to the exposure. Loved the bit where Blake was almost submarining while self-shooting. Great team on a neat little adventure. Hope you keep these coming
Proper mountain biking, warts and all. Brilliant. Thanks for keeping the background noises in. 👍👍
I've come here to see an awesome adventure and love checking out positive comments!
My knees are hurting after watching this
Love it when Blake asks Neil (at 17:32) if he wants another M&M and without missing a beat, Blake says no thanks.
Love these films where you get out for some real adventures, I’ve been lucky enough to have ridden Torridon a few times and it is truly outstanding, as good as the riding in the Alps or anywhere else.
Be great to see you doing some riding in the Lakes or Wales?
Beautiful and tough! I can' see now that I'll never be able to ride that stuff (too out of shape and never had that much skill) but a wild ride indeed. Thanks for sharing and better luck on the pub being open.
Neil and Blake riding together in this beautiful landscape...classic GMBN. I do like this type of stuff much more than the episodes made for the 9 year old audience(seems to be like half the videos these days).
U guys are the best 🙏,top show keep them coming, WA Herron
Well done guys in those conditions, wind sounded brutal. Did the lollipop just a few weeks ago solo and you defo get the big mountain feel especially after the massive hike a bike up to Core Lair
So much respect for riding in that conditions!
Woww, you Guys have such Beautiful countryside there best places to ride, love It Grant video keep it up thumbs up👍
Looks fantastic. Torridon with rain. Who would have thought? 😆
YES!!!! Did this in 2019, my first proper big mountain ride. Everything took longer and got a bit lost, but you feel amazing up there. Highly recommended. Grippy slabs
The type of film that inspires you to get out and ride your bike; no matter what the terrain.
Loving the pink helmet Blake!
I love Neil and Blake adventures and videos!!
Only way to describe this is EPIC ,thanks Lads that was excellent 🙏🙏
Epic.. these are my favourite videos from you guys... love these epic rides / adventures
Hi could you all do a review of the equipment you used on the ride? Give us the skinny good and bad on the trail bikes and some of the gear, likes and dislikes. Also is there anything you would have done differently?
Wondering what tires you used on this ride.
that was a bloody epic ride. love it! thanks for showing me all that Scottish beauty!
Amazing epic ride with all of its fantastic and challenging moments!
I love the gmbn epic rides. I've been riding the same area the last year but improving on features. I live vicariously through your epic rides haha.
Now that was an epic ride with epic weather 😁🤘
Scotland is on my bucket list to ride
Awesome stuff #GMBN Blake and Neil 👊
That's awesome. Love the kid helping out lol. Well done Seth.
Props to the camera crew and the extra riding they must have had to do! Great film.
Nice to see a mountain bike video with a some bike actually on a mountain for a change 😅
Been on holiday there twice. Always stunning even in torrential rain
Epic Ride. Loving it! Do more videos like this. MTB rules. 👍🏻
Just a quick tip, when doing a river crossing unclip your rucksack or when you fall over you will get dragged down and drowned
A commercial of santa cruz solo was filmed there. It looks amazing.
So beautiful. So rough. Love it
Yes something epic thanks 🙏 neil an blake for sharing your epic rides
Good going guys. Really interesting. Thanks for the ride! Cheers!
👍🏼👍🏼 Outstanding video boys!!!
Great vid! Real mountain biking! It would be good to hear more about the set up you used for this and other rides and why. Some of those flat rocks looked a bit treacherous. I don't think I would have had the balls to come into them so fast! Would have loved if you had spent the night in the bothy, cooked and given us a recipe.
Please do more mtb adventure like this!
I'm waiting for this!!! Love Adventure ❤️
The though Scottish trail was not enough, you also got 40-50 mph head wind, just to be sure you miss nothing, and then the pub is closed?! You've got to be kidding. Anyway, I hope you had a good time, that was quite a unique view and I bet the camera doesn't make it justice.
Love those long hair steers
I did those rides ( versions of) with a guide company called Go-where. We met the actor Gerrard butler at the Applecross Inn too. We were lucky enough to have nice weather.
Blake needs a glass of Talisker 18. I'm enjoying one right now in the USA!
And me!
@@neildonoghueMTB I apologiz(s)e Neil; I forgot the drinking age is lower is the UK. Just kidding my friend! The follow-up video needs to be a ride with Danny Mac on Skye!
Kudos to the camera persons...carrying cameras, drones and bike gear.
beautiful crazy ride!
This looks like it will be a better two day trip than a one day trip
Perfect, more videos like this please :)
Brave being clipped in, I was 100% flats for the techy climbs. Applecross is pretty rideable without tornadoes!
Absolutely epic.
Epic ride fellas!
Love the adventure rides
I agree 1 mile there is like 3 anywhere else . It's wild don't get caught out .
I did that route minus the lollypop stick last year. The descent from the peak has to be the best trail i've ever ridden
I'd highly recommend just doing the stick, much better than the loop and one of my favourite descents
Neat vid but would recommend McTrail Rider, Andy, on you tube as the guy for rides in Scotland. His video of Heartbreak Ridge is superb.
Looking forward to this!
Awesome ride.. Awesome video.. Awesome music.. Jus nicely put together.. 🤙🔥🤙.. P. S what brand of jackets you guys are wearing..thanks for the vid.
dainese
I simply love these epic journey videos. Just marvelous!
But what has happened to Blake's mic, I wonder...
All that way and the pub is closed? That would've hurt my feelings. Lol. Awesome place nonetheless, you guys are savages!
Epic, just epic!
I like the jackets You wear, which ones are they?
dainese brand
It's the Drumstick Duo 😁
Just great 👍!
Simply Brill!
Need more adventurer's like that , should take Rich with you.
I want to go to a trail like this. Looks awesome guys!
This is real mtb stuff we want
We want them to ride through the Odenwald (tale Forest) in Germany
Great trip!
Huge epic adventure. Can you publish the link to your Komoot page with the route please? Thanks
Great video, amazing scenery and trails, Blake could you please tell me what shoes your wearing as it's my favourite colour combo lol. Cheers guys.
Wow you guys get to go on some epic rides. Love the sound effects and which one had the squeaky brakes lol?
Nice ride. Plan to do similar with you Gord 👍
Talisker, ah yes :D
Give it up the film crew they did the real work here
Add a paper map & compass to that kit and you’re good to go.
Yes granddad, but we nowadays have smal electronic maps that also say where you have to go. That way its alot less work to navigate and you can enjoy the riding more.
@@HG-jq5rh I’ll get my zimmer. in the actual mountains - have both.
Should always carry a backup electronic things break
That looked mega! Thought you might of done a little camping though... Still looks epic
Holy cheese balls! From the camera's perspective, it looked like you guys were leaning into the wind @ 16:30!
Classic Scottish type 2 fun.
Totally Jealous! That looks like a cracking adventure.
It was!
I did the lollipop a few months ago - was warmer and less windy than you guys had it. But my god, was tough going. Definitely epic scenery but I'm still deciding if I enjoyed it or not 😅
Sick😎😎🤘🤘
Awesome Quality Content as always guys. really Enjoyed this one.
Hope the cameraman uses some good range ebike considering he is carrying 50+ pounds of camera equipments.
Awesome job guys, your showed those embn presenters how it's done 😝
How do you fine these routes? I'd love to ride up there, maybe not those trails but the area is stunning and I'd like to see more of it and not from the road. Cheers 🤙👍
Had to re-watch 10:00 about 5 times 🤣
Never heard of a bothy, cool place.
Who refuses an m&m ? Incredibile
Yeaahhhhhhhhhhh,,, blake and neil back on the trail........
Great vid what waterproof jkts you wearing ,Dainese?
So I see you in Edinburgh
Would be great to see the same on the Cambrain Mountains in Wales{ Not so far, with mpg]
Nice guys! Wanna do that too!
awesome a new video
Mantabb polll, andaikan di jawa ada lokasi semacam itu 👍🏽
Blake, here in my house peanut M&M's are know as Power Pellets...
