Where do you crash the most? If you have any other tips to avoid crashing share them in the comments below
Literally everywhere, roots, jumps, berms, flat ground :)
Rocky , technical trails
MANGO CHUTNEY - is just the best thing ever!
YOOO BLAKE NEEDS TO DO A BAILING COLLAB WITH SETH FROM BERM PEAK
Most of my crashes happen when I hit the ground.
Who else think Blake is the best presenter? >
Me ,🤩
He is the best .
I should watched this before i broke my arm
Same
And when I broke my finger
I broke my collarbone.. I feel you bro
@mljenkothedankturtle hope you heal soon
Same my collarbone
Blake is a very positive person. It's always fun to watch videos with him.
You are so cool 😂😂😂 would love to hear your wife again saying Welcome Back you beautiful people 😃
Thanks Tom!
WTH we have the same name I’m Tom Sawyers 😂
When ever I crash It is almost always due to the ground hitting me.
Recently got back into mountain biking, and I went for a trail I probably shouldn't have. The whole time I had Blake saying "Pick a line, and stick to it!" in my head. Saved me quite a few times! Thanks Blake!
he almost went otb for us, what a legend
Who here is watching while recovering from a crash? Collarbone in 6 pieces and 2 ribs for me.
oh, and who is from Aus and had a laugh at "Frank Walker, National tiles"...Gold.
That "Frank Walker, National tiles" was awesome. I loved it.
Heal up quick Phil
Brilliant. Frank Walker. LMAO.
🇦🇺💪

Where do crashes happen?
Wherever I am! 😂
Usually wherever we are too!
That is dedication, Blake! To show the wrong way first before the correct one. Never seen a tutorial like this before. 🔥🤩
Blake's a natural comedian. Quality Blake. Unreal rider too. Anyone who can tackle fest series jumps like Mr Sampson is someone worth taking notes from.
Blake your my fav in GMBN, neil is a close second but you're the best
This guy is the STAR of the show!
What a perfect morning: returning home from a ride, seeing a new GMBN video is online and it starts with Welcome back you beautiful people!
Nosecasing jumps and going over is the worst!! Blake is such a natural, can't believe he landed sideways and went over the bars just for the vid😂😂
Blake is back, my fav
Can we just talk about how much we love Blake?!
More than any RUclips!!
Lovin' Blake , he's the comedy on GMBN
Enjoyed the video, been riding bikes for 54 years now, and personally i seem to always crash when im going slow being to timid. Speed up a bit and it always is better
Since the summer, I haven't spend a single day without having at least one bruise from crashing on my MTB. Whenever the last one is healing, I manage to get a new one. Hopefully the tips will help. Thanks Blake!
That national tiles got me, as an aussie myself i have perfected myself in the art of frank Walker's voice
That’s just the regular Aussie milestone
@@williamschulze3326 very true
@@williamschulze3326 I had it down by the age of 3 wbu?
@@baileydillon7809 I had it about the same, what part of straya are you from?
@@williamschulze3326 The part that is under control by the infamous dan Andrews smh
Thanks Blake. This has been SUPER helpful!!
I love Blake's videos SO much!
Great tips bro. Learned a lot by this little video. Thanks a lot
Blake is so good even his enacting of crashes are still 👍.
A few of my crashes were of small jumps leading up to corner during descending. I have tendency to lift the bar as Blake mentioned so the bar pulled unevenly which caused a front wheel wash out.
Absolutely love Blake’s energy
I love Blake man, and Blake if you somehow see this, you are the reason I am not lonely and depressed because you got me into this beautiful sport. Thank you Blake.
Love you guys. Keep on keepin on GMBN😁😁😁
Great info! Thanks!!
One of the keys is to keep all arms and legs inside the ride until it comes to a complete stop! My list is 9 screws and 2 plates, a punctured lung, 3 broken ribs, a hip pointer, TBI, and a grade 3 liver laceration (all over the course of 20 years)
On the plus side, I've gotten 3 new helmets this year!
From Argentina here, amazing video. Very useful. 2 month ago got a wrist fracture because of wrong drop off. Never again.
I love it when Blake makes a new video!!
thanks for sharing tips to stop crashing that help a lot. will do ride and practice.
I'm giving this a like just for the frank warkner reference at 7:00
Thank you for this video! I recently got my first MTB and have started riding some trails that are quite bumpy at certain points. No crashes yet, but now I know what to keep in mind to avoid it 😁
Always great videos... Thanks Guys
Great video, thanks
So how hard is it to do it wrong for the purpose of the video when you have been a pro rider for decades? Thank you for the effort Blake, it actually helps a lot. You guys are making shredding down the trail look so easy, but when it's my turn to go down, I realize it's not easy at all (but super fun, heck yeah!).
My big crash was on a tame and smooth trail - just was going fast. Ran a little wide, clipped a pedal and instant crash.
Collarbone, 9 rib fractures, bruised lung and a week in hospital. Collarbone didn’t heal, then got pneumonia so couldn’t have surgery for nearly two months.
Long story short - it’s been a 4 month recovery.... All on a boring trail that jsut involved a momentary loss of concentration.
Awesome video!! The pulling on the bar more towards one way helped alot!
Blake is the best thing to happen to youtube, since the internet.
I flipped over the handle bars yesterday!
Can't recomend protective gear enough, definitely feel like I have got my monies worth!
Great video with good advice 👍
What a man, great video,
Great video from gmbn!
Great tips!
Very true
Great content. Wonderfully presented. Thanks. All of this was super helpful. Especially the sideways jumping explanation. Can’t wait to go back to the dirt jumps and learn how to stay straight now that I know what is causing it. Cheers
Thanks mate
Great advice great vid
Love it when Blake takes a hit for the team! Super video will watch a few more times to let it all sink in!
This channel made me get on an MTB at age 34, and gave me all the information and observational learning to make it through a 4 hours MTB ride without crashing.
But with doing some stuff that scared the shit out of me. Adrenaline!!
There are certain places where I expect people to have crashes at my local trail centre, last time out I saw accidents at two of those places. Not what you want to see as a rider, but reassures me that my caution in those zones is justified. I'd rather be overtaken than be taken to hospital.
Neals face plant just makes me so glad I wear a full face, our tracks are mostly devoid of roots, and rain for that matter, but in general are rocky or have the texture of course sandpaper. Townsville.NQ Aus.
He's such a great presenter..and a very talented person.👍
Love your show guys! Cheers :)
this channel is sooo helpful. cant stop lovin it !!! also blake
Love Blake and Neil best channel
Love these GMBN videos. Funny and educational all at once. I fall regularly lol. I havnt had any major injuries yet. Few cortisone shots as i am 49 years old and just starting iff. Very scared to break something and i think this hinders my process. I ride alone mostly too and dint want to be out there all alone laying in the leaves dying! Lol. Try to be careful and be very cautious of where my front tire goes. Need more manual training. Thanks again for all your videos. Keep em up. They help.
Aside from wet roots, half-buried plastic water pipes and fallen coconut fronds also do a good job of washing out the front.
Good video ,these are the shot 🔥👑
That really is some great 👍 advice Blake !!.
Yeah
Cool video Blake! 👊😎
This is going to really help me not hurt my bike that much!
Blake, you’re great
This felt like a new filming style, I actually prefer this.
Cornering wash outs are easily prevented by getting your weight over the front wheel and never touching your front brake. Rear brake to modulate speed, front brake is only to endo, or stop quickly.
You guys should do more gcn vs gmbn that is always good to watch
That's an academy worthy acting. Thanks for the video.
Pointers for video tips:
1. Jumps!
Your legs are important when Jumping. Pulling/pushing the bars is often unnecessary, having your legs straight on the take off aka pushing into the lip is important to learn more. Don't hang on the back, attack position and trusting that front whee to guide you are important.
2. Roots!
Avoid your front brake on roots as much as possible, this is a big reason for your front wheel slipping out. You can compress/get lower just before a particularly rough patch or/and diagonal large root, then lift up to unweight as you go over the patch thus the bike riding smoother over the rough patch.
3. Drop offs!
As an additional point to add to the manual... Sometimes your back wheel can get hung-up on the edge of the drop, especially when it's rough or/and there's a rise/bump on the edge. So, to overcome this when in your manual get real low... Then just before your back wheel comes to the edge (aka where it could hang you up ending in a OTB) lift yourself up thus unweigting the bike and allowing the back wheel to ride over the edge better.
4. Wipe out!
It's not just balance between front and back... Your setup and hips and critical. Look for the best line to set you up good for the turn, then as you turn, turn your hips into the corner leaning the bike.
Great video
Had the same crash like at 0:20 recently. Dislocated and fractured my left shoulder, I wish you had posted this 3 weeks earlier hahahaha
I can add one more crashing root cause during jumps - not keeping your pedals level during and after the take off. Just happened to me today, but thankfully I am fine.
Lil trick that helps even more with roots/chunder/rock gardens AN jumpin...
Keep the weight Centered ON your pedals, NOT your bars. Nothin good comes from putting pressure on your bars unless you're doing flatland BMX. Your hands just 'guide' the bike, your legs/hips/back/core support the rest of you. Pretend its that magic carpet floatin over the rough stuff. Same thing with jumpin, its counter intuitive but, you lead with your feet/legs. This will keep your flats from coming out under you. Your arms just do a little bit of adjustment unless you're scrubbin hard or come up slow into a kicker and need to jhop the lip. Saves heaps of energy.
Learned this from riding Supercross and brought it to MTB. Changed the game instantly.
Loosing focus is what gets most in trouble . It could be because of fear or even overconfidence can cause a loss in focus but the main reason is just not paying attention and the most difficult part of mountain biking or any dangerou type sports where you need to stay focused during the whole event . One lapse and your going down .
Crashing.... I mean smashing vid Blakey boy! 👍🏻
My main cause of crashes lately has been putting my mtb at my parents in the alps and only keeping the gravel in Paris but still trying clearly mtb trails during my rides.
Good job Mr.samson... stay safe out there & say hi to ray🤘
Hey Darren, I’ll say hi to ray. 😬👍
Blake love ya work, 🙏
I love this channel!!😍....not gonna stop me from crashin' though! 💥
I understand why u have so many subs man :) sweet show
I did a Neil about 8 months ago, front tyre washed out and broke my jaw in three places, now I am back riding but slow right down on corners, trying to get that confidence back.
Damn that sounds painful 😫
You don't always have to go fast for it to be fun, that's my mantra anyway because I don't wanna crash ha ha
I should have watch this before I crashed while doing jumps about 10 minutes ago. Damn!
ive sadly never experienced roots in australia sadly only rocks here
Neil’s dump in the corner was 🤣. Great video and info.
I love roots myself, even when wet. Un weighting the wheel they go on when hit and consider the angle. I also eat ginger (roots haha), so they are good for me.
Whoever did that National Tiles joke just won the internet for today!
Very epic
that shit at 1:20 really deserves some oscar for camera work
Those OTB shots 👌🏼
Roots got me twice this summer - both times with bruised and cracked ribs - at least i proportionally evened out the pain... lol
Its usually the landings for me. I dont crash often, and when I do, I usually walk away from it. Ironically, I get hurst the most on small crashes, like falling over standing still
Gmbn can you please do a “how to bail” video as it would be great video idea that can even expand the best of riders knowledge. 🤙
There's no such thing as bailing off the bike, most likely you will have to go with the bike and try to keep your arms in the right position for the fall!
@@silvereagle1960 Well what is the correct ways fall to escape a crash with minimal injuries
We'll add it to our ideas list but as Silver Eagle says there isn't much you can do other than try to avoid a big injury
Can bail a skate board ,not bikes and rollerblades ,they are death ☠️
See Blake. Click and watch. Legend
jajaja so good video love the jumptrail! now feel motivated what gest me going the longest while bike is delta parole or other rokk music!
Love how Blake uses himself to demonstrate both the right and the wrong techniques 😄
I absolutely hate roots.
I had a friend that I kept telling to lower his seat before he jumped and decided to jump anyway and the seat sent him over the bars.
Ouch!!!
We love you Blake
