Should we get Martyn to put a section in the uploader so he can follow your progression on these trials skills? Let us know and get practicing!
Great idea! :)
Perfect! And I've just bought an Ashton trials bike to chuck about, so double perfect! 😎👌
Please do more of these videos.
Probably one of my favorite videos ever GMBN!! AND IM NOT EVEN GOOD AT TRIALS.
This is really an amazing section. Please make more of these!
*pokes Neil with stick*
"this is what it feels like when I touch you with my foot"
Thats hilariously disgusting
Paralysis jokes. You’re an inspiration martyn😂
I was gonna type the exact thing, had me rolling. People with a sense of humor are the best and he is pure inspiration
GMBN needs more of this, the guys out on trails riding instead of in the studio.
Get them some sun, these boys are too pale
I think this is the best motivational video I’ve seen. Pro mountain bikers practising skills and being out of their comfort zone. Also Neil saying he needs to practice on a smaller scale before sending it off the bench. Really impressive message about good practice there. Thank you. :)
I wish I could like this comment more times than one. I love this type of stuff.
It’s crazy to see how top riders like Neil and Blake still have a lot to learn in the mountain bike world
It just shows how many different mtb disciplines there are
Great video🤘
Martyn really reminded me of Patches O'Houlihan in dodgeball:
the 5 b's of trials:
balance
bounce
brake
boost
and balance
If you can dodge a stick you can dodge a tree!
Amen.
Is all of this necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste!
"You hop one more time & I'm gonna smash your spokes out!" 😂😂
Martyn's teaching style reminds me of "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" :D
LOL My Wednesday really needed this!! Thanks for the great video!
PEDAL BRAKE shirts!!!! That would be brilliant!
The sound of blakes suspension when he kept on hopping to maintain balance is such music go my ears 😍
I love the old videos like the card game video you did and I liked your tutorial videos so this is the new video for me! Much love from South Wales!!
Man, i grew up idolizing Martyn, Chainspotting was and still is one of my favourite bike films ever.
"We've drawn one of Blake's triangles on the floor..." LMAO!! HAHAHAHAHA!
Always appreciate and respect when a presenter knows when they are not ready for something.
Loved it! I want to see more mtb trials, time to draw one of blake’s triangles and practice 😅
Please invite Sam Pilgrim to participate. He has some trials skills, also he and Blake are hilarious together.
I once remembered this technique while I was on ~ 40cm ledge, never tried it before but for some reason I thought it's a good time to give it a "go". Scariest nosedive ever.
One of the best thing for newbs, or just those of us who really struggle with new techniques, is to see pros having to really work at something to get it right. In a way it humanizes the act and makes the technique seem attainable if one is willing to put in the sweat. Thanks guys-great video as always.
"I can tell Neil is very nervous about the stick" 😂😂😂
Hey Martyn, what tires are those on your chair? Fellow para here
Not too sure myself, however I know that Kenda make wheelchair tyres that have the same tread as the mtb ones
bro, you a para mountain biker too? nice!
I am not tho
@@soupgaming5923 thanks man! I am currently using Kenda Nevgal tires on my chair but they make my chair super wide and have me banging into every doorway in my house. The deep tread also makes it easy to track dirt in on the floors. Looking for something with a little bit of width but not such an aggressive tread. Thanks again for the suggestion!
@@casualsportshighlights I ride a 3- wheel mountain trike actually. DO a search for adaptive MTB and you'll see what I'm talking about
I really loved this video. So impressed by how quickly those guys pick this stuff up but also valuable to see how much respect they give to the higher risk table. I find it tempting to immediately try to move to a bigger obstacle, but this helps reinforce that it makes more sense to dial in the skill on something safe and small. To see Neil, who is such a fantastic rider, smartly bow out at the end until he has practiced more is a great lesson.
Martyn needs to start initiating Navy drill Sergeant mode for these videos, no holding back on the verbal abuse either!!!
hahahahaha yes man yees =)
Yeh with plenty of marching, hup and down the squeah! And no learning the piano
I would love to see him as a PSM
Yes, like when he told Blake he'd smash his spokes in if he keeps hopping 😂 savage!
Fuck yea! Get brutal, get results.
I met Martyn in 1995, I think, at the bike show along with the rest of the MBUK guys, got to see him performing live absolutely fabulous guy. He signed a denim Jacket for me, will have to look in the loft if I still have it.
Great progression of mental and physical training from Martyn
....and Martyn strikes another ace! First Random Tandem, now this. Very helpfull thx!
Happy to see Martyn in this video
Blake “triangle”! 😂😂😂😂
More of this!!!
Plumbing the depths of Martyn's wisdom could take quite a lot of episodes, indeed.
Ashton is a true legend!!
A really fun video and shows exactly how much trials is mental ability as it is physical ability. Ya got to get it right in your head first, start small and work up to bigger things
I think this is going to be a great series to watch. It shows how hard trials really is when two pro bike handlers like Neil and Blake have so much to learn.
Yes more Martin’s Trials Academy please!!!
This is very good coaching!! Tks for that! And showing that it's all about Pedal, Brake and Repeat alot! It's the only way! Ok, now I got to get on my bike! 😄
Cool idea! But i have some thoughts for tials academy: we all know that Blake and Neil are already good riders, so what if you get some random noobie rider to teach by Martyn. I think it might be ineresting and a good lesson (or series of lessons) to many beginners.
Fantastic lesson! Thank you Martyn!
So glad there is Ep.1 on the title because I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to see more!
Yes! So much more of this please.
Seen this one so many times and it still cracks me up. :D
Hahaha! Martyn is like the coach from Dodgeball. If you can dodge a wrench...
That's all I could think of watching this
This is amazing. Martyn's cemented himself here as trials Yoda and i don't think anyone could disagree! "this is what it feels like if i touch you with my foot" fuckin legend xD
Great Trial's Academy.... more please
Amazing vid!!!! Its in my top 5 from all the vids you ever made.
Some need to dub over Martyn’s old videos with pedal brake when applicable.
Chocolate foot forward
Martyn has got some guns jeez most jacked GMBN presenter
Something about Martyn terrorising Blake and Neil is so perfect!
Best GMBN video in ages.
Keep it up! More trials tips from Martyn is priceless!
Great video and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. The Blake's triangle bit made me crack up!
This is a great new series! And yes! I want trials progression uploads!
Showcasing how to practice trials (e.g. draw ledge boundary on ground first) is a great way to get more riders involved in honing their balance and ultimately make the sport safer. Kudos to Neil for identifying when one's confidence is not up to the challenge yet - too often do we hear the "just send it" tip in the sport.
Nice Series. Keep it going guys. For me, riding since a year now, these kind of skill videos are really helpful. They keep me motivated working on my ridingskills.
Thanks a lot!
Not even watched the advert video yet and I know is this is going to be good
Trials lessons from Martyn?! Yes, please!
Really enjoyed this and will follow along practicing the skills
Sergeant Major Ashton!!! Great video guys. 👍 👍 👌 👌
This was awesome, I love videos like this, I can’t wait for the next episode.
It was good to see someone like Neil back out of something with the interest of safety. 🤘
I love this! Being in control of the bike can only help.
Great video - more of this type please and more detail on technique and how to break it down - have never done a pedal / brake action but am going to try tonight!
I LIKE THIS ACADEMY!! Keep on Going!!!
This is such a pleasure to see you guys doing trials. You connect trials with trail riding which turns every trail into a playground. The progress Blake and Neil make with Marty's advice... Incredibile!
Extra point for Neil for admitting not being comfortable with the table drop. This is crucial when riding with friends if you do not want to end up in the hospital.
I hope there are more episodes to come.
Martyn you are a legend!
Good stuff, great to get to dig into the Ashton wisdom. And fun social dynamics as always. Actually got me excited to try this myself with my buddy!
i got exited to learn on my road bike even :)
Martyn I get the impression it’s like working with a group of children. Especially Blake 😂 Pedal Brake Pedal BLAKE!! You don’t need to add a hop in!!! 😂 keep up the good work fellas!!!
Great ! More of this please...
the "pedal brake" counter kills me, love it
yeah martin you get out there!!!
Am loving this. Martyn shouting “no, no, no” is classic.
hilarious! cant wait for ep 2.... cheers
Bi,king Grandmaster Ashton pedalling breaking. 🙏
Love you Martyn!
Who else could only hear Martin Hawyes’ voice saying ‘Pedalling and braking and pedalling and braking’ in a comedy German accent?
Das willst du nicht...
😂
Very entertaining banter!
8:47 martyn " you hop one more time and i'll smash your spokes out"
This is brilliant. Just goes to show that no matter how good you are at something, there's always room for improvement.
Awesome vid! Lots of respect for those trials skills :)
I wanted soo soon much a video series like that!!!
What a treat!
MORE OF THIS!!!
Martyn is a hero!
This is such an interesting video! It shows that whatever your riding level, riding an MTB is a mental challenge! It's easy to watch Neil and Blake hit massive features and ride at speed over seriously difficult terrain, but this video shows they are human after all :-)
Also... One of Blake's triangles! Bahahahahaha! In a video of funny things, that's the funniest thing ever! Haha!
Was it "pedal brake" you were saying Martyn i didn't quite catch it ;)
Awesome stuff Martyn,Neil and Blake.
Can't wait for the next episode #GMBN
Just like to thank the Guisborough lads for showing me around on Monday! I know they will see this cos one of them had a GMBN shirt!
Mitch Warren htuk I think it was Doddy, He is over on GMBN Tech.
Jani Jordaan 😂😂😂 he could of fixed all the faults on my bike👍
Mitch Warren htuk Yep that sounds like Doddy 😂
Great series have just started . Great job
Keep these coming. I can definitely un learn all my bad habits.
Great video! Trials is awesome.
Martyn you are a legend mate, so funny 😂😂😂
awesome idea. got me inspired. keep the episodes coming.
fantastic video! more like this please
Love it! I ride MOTOTRIALS and MTB. They compliment each other and I love features that require some trials skills.
so many awesome and original content from you guys!
Hell yeah, I wanna get into trials now
Martyn, that is a brilliant little series , keep it going man. Very funny 👍
i hadn't seen this video in months and the thing that stuck with me when i was trying to do this today was pedal brake 😂
So good :) I'm trying "pedal break" tomorrow!
we need to see more of this! a lot more :D
give us more and more of these trials videos with Martyn!
We wanna see more of this
This was very helpful!
