Any of the GMBN crew would be great fun, no question there. But, assuming that's not an option, Cedric Gracia would be an ABSOLUTE RIOT!!! Amazing skills and loves to have fun!
Omg that was the funnest thing, ‘Blake…….im right here’ 😂😂 Martin is mad love his attitude an inspiration……Blake is a loon any how fair play on Steve though top vid more of the Orange beast.
That was one of the funniest things I've seen this year that you guys have done setting him up like that. Wow, you and Blake are amazing. You should definitely do more of this random tandem.have a good Christmas all
Omg. So haopy to see the random tandom back. Seeing blake and martyn together on this is something that shouldhe prescribed as an antidepressant to people because you just cannot be unhappy watching this. Martyns smile, their laughs and mischief make the world a better place.
The random tandom 100% needs to be a regular feature on the show. Martyn and different people from throughout the mtb world like how it started. Interview format while out having a laugh on the tandem.
Martyn, Blake, Steve, thank you SO much for the smiles this morning. Martyn, the pure joy on your face whilst on the Random Tandem is contagious, and the solo ride was absolutely brilliant.
At every level, this is genius! The skills of the bike designer/builders, understanding the requirements, the support from everyone ... and the overcoming of adversity ... every element of that is brilliant.
I would love to see Blake & Martyn do some shenanigans with Rob Warner on the random tandem. I know Rob has ridden it before, but the chemistry between Martyn & Rob is absolute awesome (and Blake would fit right in there)
I really want to just encounter this on a trail one day. Like it is one thing to watch videos of it, another entirely to actually see it and follow one of these down the trail
That's the true spirit of mountain biking right there, that's gold that is. I was crying with laughter. To all at GMBN have a great Yule and a fantastic solstice
It's exciting to see someone overcoming limitations to inspire others. I have weak legs from Degenerative Disc Disease. I call my ebike (modified RadMission) my inline, two-wheeled, pedal-assisted, electric wheelchair. I can only put out 80-150 watts so I have it on full power the majority of the time and just need to spin my legs to keep moving. I also use a throttle to get me rolling and when standing up on green trails or crushed gravel paths to motorcycle along.
Love Martyn’s response to Steve’s question about not being there to catch him…. (Casually) I’d just fall over there!!! Brill to see random tandem back.
Oh boy did i need this video right now. Next time im feeling down or like the world is against me and something feels impossible, i will just picture your face coming round berm on your own on that bike. You're a true hero MA carry on winning life big man. 🙌
You crazy kids, big respect to Martyn doing launch pad solo, I did it on my 96 Giant and I'm pushing 120kg solo 😂😂😂 Your combined laughter is infectious 😂😂🤣😂
First of all, Happy Birthday Steve! That was the best random tandem to date. I had a smile I couldn't get rid of, just like Martyn, he was totally free when Blake jumped off, that was the funniest thing on 2 wheels. Glad Steve caught up in the end and Blake too. Martyn and Blake, the only thing they fear is not having fun. I am pretty sure Martyn would have found a post or tree to lean against at the end there. Let's just look at Blake's fitness there, he is a juggernaut! He can pedal up then chase the boys on foot, legend. Please if you can get Steve on the Dirt Shed Show to discuss what he was truly thinking chasing Martyn down.
that was brilliant guys, lol, so good to watch Martyn & that beamingly big smile, I would love to go for a ride but i had my bike stolen just under a month ago & it was my pride & joy as it took me about 4 years to save up for, i didn't even get a year out of it as i had lung cancer this time last year & when i got better i treated myself, so it was a pleasure to watch you guys out on the trails.
Martyn would be my dream riding buddy, I'd pedal with him on that tandem any day. Thank you Martyn, Blake, Steve, and the whole crew behind the scenes for another great video. This was an awesome early christmas gift.
Damn, but that was funny! I'm not quite wheelchair bound yet, but I appreciate the skill and determination to make damn sure you enjoy life. Your motor, Blake, is pleasantly chirpy and full of zest. Have a great Christmas and New Year. I hope to see more Tandom Tandem next year.
Too short, Martyn’s face riding solo made my year! Could watch that for hours. 🤘 Merry Christmas to all the crew and thanks for the great content all year. 👌
This is why we love our sport, a bunch of mates out having a laugh on a wicked ride. Well done team on an awesome film, it was worth just for Martyn's cackles!
I so much enjoyed this clip! The Blake and Martyn combo are always a blast to watch. More of this clips! And a very happy Christmas to all of you guys 🎉🎉
Thank you guys for that video ! The tandem videos are my best moments on GMBN. Seeing you guys with that smile and enjoying that much is priceless 😃 That joke to Steve was a great moment too 🤣 And yes, maybe some upgrades to that tandem could be good 😅 Merry Christmas to all the team !
One of your best episodes ever! Absolutely brilliant and good training for the abdominal muscles. I was in tears laughing! Blake and Martyn, you are a brilliant combination and an incredible inspiration! Keep up the good work... Merry Christmas to you all...
On my local trails (the ones that I know well), I ran into a husband wife couple on a tandem last year. They started behind us and came around like we were nailed to the ground. We were on some proper New England tech and I remember the stoker smiling and waving at us while they passed us riding off a roller. Tandems are cool.
So much fun! Being a tandem rider with my wife, I highly recommend a hub motor for climbing assistance. Also, I bet someone would make a dual disc hub for you, for extra braking. Both upgrades would increase speed, which is really what Martyn needs!
Who would be your dream riding buddy to take on the random tandem? Let us know in the comments! 👇
Any of the GMBN crew would be great fun, no question there. But, assuming that's not an option, Cedric Gracia would be an ABSOLUTE RIOT!!! Amazing skills and loves to have fun!
Sam Pilgrim would be amazing but I don’t think I’d have the stones for it 🤣
Hank from GCN
Conner Dunne would provide some epic newbie comments, Eric from Spindatt YT channel for a fellow, skilled MTBer.
Also, you really need a throttle to have some solo control.
just martyn and blake having fun is something id happily watch hours of
Yeah great to see him out again 😂
Agreed, the smile on Martyn’s face makes the world a brighter place. They seemed to genuinely be having a grand time!
That was one of the coolest video I've seen in a long time. Thanks guys
Agree 💯👌
agreed 100%, coolest duo ever
The perfect presenter combo of Martyn, Blake and Steve. Watching good mates just mucking about on bikes is priceless ❤
More more more.
The utter joy from Martyn is what biking is all about.
Couldn't agree more! Martyn's happiness on the bike just makes you want to grab yours and go for a ride 🤘
Omg that was the funnest thing, ‘Blake…….im right here’ 😂😂 Martin is mad love his attitude an inspiration……Blake is a loon any how fair play on Steve though top vid more of the Orange beast.
That was one of the funniest things I've seen this year that you guys have done setting him up like that. Wow, you and Blake are amazing. You should definitely do more of this random tandem.have a good Christmas all
Haha, they couldn't resist! More random tandem adventures coming your way for sure 🤙
Two great guys having blast! Love it and merry Christmas 🎄
The sheer joy on Martins face when flying solo is fantastic to see
Omg. So haopy to see the random tandom back. Seeing blake and martyn together on this is something that shouldhe prescribed as an antidepressant to people because you just cannot be unhappy watching this. Martyns smile, their laughs and mischief make the world a better place.

Martyn, Blake, Steve, thank you SO much for the smiles this morning. Martyn, the pure joy on your face whilst on the Random Tandem is contagious, and the solo ride was absolutely brilliant.
By far one of the best episodes of this channel
The smile on Martyns face when he was freewheeling down the track on his own made me tear up.
At every level, this is genius! The skills of the bike designer/builders, understanding the requirements, the support from everyone ... and the overcoming of adversity ... every element of that is brilliant.
I would love to see Blake & Martyn do some shenanigans with Rob Warner on the random tandem. I know Rob has ridden it before, but the chemistry between Martyn & Rob is absolute awesome (and Blake would fit right in there)
Seriously guys the JOY is real - friendship - mucking around - this is what's it's all about. At the end of our days this is what you will talk about!
I really want to just encounter this on a trail one day. Like it is one thing to watch videos of it, another entirely to actually see it and follow one of these down the trail
That video gave me such joy to watch. The glee on Martyn's face is tangible
Utter shenanigans!!! What a blast, don't ever stop having fun!
That's the true spirit of mountain biking right there, that's gold that is. I was crying with laughter.
To all at GMBN have a great Yule and a fantastic solstice
So glad that GMBN brought this back
That was magical!
The random tandem is so awesome. What a crazy lad Martin is. Get Semenuk on the tandem,
It's exciting to see someone overcoming limitations to inspire others.

Martyn’s face when he was alone on the bike…just think of that when you’re feeling too lazy to go out and bike. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
At no point watching this did I stop smiling. Utterly joyous to watch-glad to see the random tandem is back. More please!😃
Proof positive that Martin A. is a truly gutsy guy! (And, completely mental!)😅😂 Very uplifting watch, that!❤
Martyn is definitely gutsy (and maybe a little bit mental) 😂 But that's why we love him 🤘
Pure joy and smiles say it all
Seeing Martyn on the trails is always a delight 🤘
The pure joy in martyns face when he's riding solo is absolutely priceless, great episode!
The smile on Martyn is priceless. Blake you rock you 2 are awesome together.
You bring so much childish joy and happiness. That is priceless. Please get the random tandem out more.
Big love ❤️
That was incredible! I was on the edge of my seat when Blake jumped off. You guys are nuts! Martyn, you have titanium balls.
Love Martyn’s response to Steve’s question about not being there to catch him…. (Casually) I’d just fall over there!!! Brill to see random tandem back.
That prank was soooo beautiful. I laughed through the whole thing. Fantastic.
Great to see the random tandem out and about again!
That was bloody brilliant more of the random tandem
Awww poor Steve! So much fun for all except him!
Always love the tandem. Poor Steve! 😆
Abolutly love random tandem ❤ very close to wetting myself watching steve chase down martyn 😂😂😂 great bit of footage ❤
Brilliant! Bumped into you Martyn after you'd finished filming on the day. Keep 'em coming chaps!
The absolute trust between Marty and Blake....priceless friendship. Poor Steve.
I didn’t know I could like Martin even more!!! What a LEGEND !!!!
Brilliant return of the random tandem. This should be renamed as “Randoms on a tandem”.
Oh boy did i need this video right now. Next time im feeling down or like the world is against me and something feels impossible, i will just picture your face coming round berm on your own on that bike. You're a true hero MA carry on winning life big man. 🙌
These guys are the best, Martyn Blake and Steve what a combo!!!!... Happy times, I was laughing and smiling while watching the video
Gotta give it to Steve he still went for it to save Martin. 💪🏻
Probably the best bike video I have ever watched. Such joy for life.
Just top blokes. All three of them. Martyn still has the skills though. What a guy.
It's really great seeing Martyn and Blake getting on so well together, having fun is essential to enjoying life!
Most wholesome video from embn or gmbn. The joy clearly apparent in everyone is inspiring. This is why we watch your content. Genuine love for biking.
You crazy kids, big respect to Martyn doing launch pad solo, I did it on my 96 Giant and I'm pushing 120kg solo 😂😂😂 Your combined laughter is infectious 😂😂🤣😂
At last, something worth watching. The tandem never fails to deliver. Brilliant!

This is my favorite GMBN video for 2023. You guys are proper nuts in the best way possible. Merry Christmas!
Brilliant !! Might have annoyed Steve on his birthday but gave me a good laugh on my birthday, great work guys 😂.
The bestest series of videos on the entire internet!
Laughing so hard, I´m crying here 😂
I love it when Martin is able to ride anything. His true love for the sport inspires all of us
"We are killing Blake"... that's what Hank from GCN is for 😂
E-BIKE that tandem.
Smiling and laughing is contagious, keep up the good times and good friends.👍👍
I remember it having a motor on the bike check from years ago
Absolutely bloody brilliant, the best one yet. Thank you. 🤣🤣🤣
Martyn would be my dream riding buddy, I'd pedal with him on that tandem any day.
Thank you Martyn, Blake, Steve, and the whole crew behind the scenes for another great video. This was an awesome early christmas gift.

Oh man you guys had me in tears! So nice to see the RT back! Nothing like total chaos and with Steve!
Damn, but that was funny!
I'm not quite wheelchair bound yet, but I appreciate the skill and determination to make damn sure you enjoy life.
Your motor, Blake, is pleasantly chirpy and full of zest.
Have a great Christmas and New Year.
I hope to see more Tandom Tandem next year.
This was so fun to watch. More of the random tandem please!
Too short, Martyn’s face riding solo made my year! Could watch that for hours. 🤘 Merry Christmas to all the crew and thanks for the great content all year. 👌
Best video of the year. Merry Christmas guys. 🎄🎄🎄
This is why we love our sport, a bunch of mates out having a laugh on a wicked ride. Well done team on an awesome film, it was worth just for Martyn's cackles!
This is my favorite series on RUclips! I'm so glad to see it again. Sometimes I'd watch the rob warner episode to get a laugh over the past few years😂
The ammount of cardio/endurance blake has is incredible to be able to do climbs like that and still continue riding.....I'd be dead tired.
Martin has never looked happier than this solo random tandem ride. 😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
It's absolutely hilarious!!! Best segment in a long time.
Eres un loco Mr. Ashton, es increíble como manejas el tandem 🔥🚲 stay young
What a fun time!! I wish I could be there riding too!!
Absolutely fantastic, i was p.....g myself, Blake is by far the best man for that job, and Martin balls of steel, keep it up guys. 👍👊
This is what MTB is all about!!!! Love all the positive energy in this video. 😎
I so much enjoyed this clip! The Blake and Martyn combo are always a blast to watch.
More of this clips!
And a very happy Christmas to all of you guys 🎉🎉
Best video ever! I don’t know if I enjoyed it as much as Blake and Martyn did, but had a lot of fun watching it! Merry Christmas!
It's Christmas Eve and you bring us such a gift of Joy and Laughter, thank you
Martyn and Blake are simply the best
Thank you guys for that video !
The tandem videos are my best moments on GMBN.
Seeing you guys with that smile and enjoying that much is priceless 😃
That joke to Steve was a great moment too 🤣
And yes, maybe some upgrades to that tandem could be good 😅
Merry Christmas to all the team !
One of your best episodes ever! Absolutely brilliant and good training for the abdominal muscles. I was in tears laughing! Blake and Martyn, you are a brilliant combination and an incredible inspiration! Keep up the good work... Merry Christmas to you all...
This is always epic to watch. Can't wait to see more and see what you can do to improve with the random tandem. 🤙
On my local trails (the ones that I know well), I ran into a husband wife couple on a tandem last year.
They started behind us and came around like we were nailed to the ground.
We were on some proper New England tech and I remember the stoker smiling and waving at us while they passed us riding off a roller.
Tandems are cool.
Happy holidays to y'all, this is just a right treat with a side of beer. CHEERS!
these random tandem vids are always funny, nice one!
So much fun!
Being a tandem rider with my wife, I highly recommend a hub motor for climbing assistance. Also, I bet someone would make a dual disc hub for you, for extra braking.
Both upgrades would increase speed, which is really what Martyn needs!
that looked like a crazy good time....cheers 🇨🇦
Laughed 'til the tears squeezed out. Thanks, a great christmas gift.
That was fun ! :-D Steve is right though, the Random Tandem needs some tech upgrades like 220mm rotors.
We're making notes ✍
SOOOOOOOOO FEKKIN GOOOOOD GUYS !!!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LAUGHS THRU 2023 .......
👀🤔🤯
✌🏽😂🤘🏽
Thank your GMBN crew!
Merry Christmas or whatever to you and all the other fans. 😊
AWESOME!!!!!! I think the Random Tandem is an epic bike!! Merry Christmas to everyone at GMBN!!!
Brilliant video again!! Was awesome to see the random tandem in action whilst you guys were filming this!!
