Blake Samson spent his formative years as a dirt jumper at what has become an iconic dirt jump spot in the UK. Over the past few years here at GMBN Blake’s riding has evolved to enjoy more pedaling on the bike. In this video, he wanted to take Alfie Stephens out of his comfort zone and take on an epic ride ending at the jumps. Will they make it in time before the sun sets and it gets too dark to ride?

Another great vid by the master of the bike!
Do you or your friends get distracted by side hits, jumps and jibs when out on a 'serious ride'? 🤣
Would you like to see Alfie and Blake go back to the dirt jumps? 🤔 Let the chat know 👇
When you plan these routes do you use MTB or MTB enduro on komoot & can we see this route? Thanks .
Perfect for Sunday. Thank you, Blake & Alfie!
Ahh sunny Sundays…Great vid Blake 😊
As always, more pleaaaaaaase 🤙🏾😀
@Blake may I ask what Propain model did you take on this trip?
Thank you
love these vid. so good
Blake and Alfie just looked to have the most laid back adventure and did Alfie almost manage to spray Blake with that little cheeky puddle splasher? Great video boys. Were those pies on 29 inch plates? They looked like huge meals.
Blake switched to an air shock. Interesting.
This was really cool Blake. I enjoyed seeing some UK countryside. What a beautiful little Inn.
Hold up! This video is 2160p …
Thanks gentlemen for sharing that beautiful trail ride thru some amazing country side the food at the pub looked good. Man the UK 🇬🇧 has some beautiful landscape definitely want to see it all ,someday cheers 🍻 looking forward to next adventure
Blake is a pretty relatable guy. These pal & ride around vids are great to watch since it's riding solo for myself these days. Beautiful country there.
My kind of MTB-ing. Step outside the house, pick a direction and go. Preferably climb over a mountain along the way.
Blake and Alfie make a great team, lets see some dirt jumping videos and content with them 👍
Love the adventure rides like this! Is Alfie an upcoming GMBN presenter in the works?
Great story, great ride, don't forget mud guards. 😅 Who cares about dirt jumps, I wan't more pie!
In Alfie's words "romantic"
Hold on! Is Alfie going to be a presenter?🤔 He looks natural in front of the camera 👍💯
That move where Sam Hodgson does a 360 as he kind of handstands in the air while doing a tail whip is still crazy (13:21). And of course, in the old video, Sam Pilgrim stepping on his back tire, making the bike pop up and the bars spin into place, which he grabs and rides off in one motion was probably the craziest trick in the whole video. 😂
New (guest) presenter on gmbn ?
Brilliant content
What an awesome episode .Absolute perfect way to spend the day on a mountain bike🤙🏼
Great video and a fantastic part of the country to ride. I’ve done loads of riding in New Forest which is alway a good XC ride. I would be interested in looking at this route, can it be viewed anywhere?
Great vid guys! Would be awesome if you could share the route 🤞
Great video, awesome to see Blake and the newbie Alfie chillin on a nice ride and reminiscing 👌
I love these simple adventuring videos. Inspiring and calming all at the same time.
