Would you try a BMX race? When was the last time you went to a pump track or BMX track? Let us know in the comments! π
Your no way at Alver valley
Bmx Blake was fun to watch.
Blake is so competitive! Didn't get the best start, made mistakes, but never gave up. More of this please
I saw the sprint Blake did on GCN. He's got BMX down lol
awseome!!!
People giving you tips on racing the track I guess that is because they respect the GMBN letters on your guernsey. because I never remember any tips coming my way except maybe get out my way and your going to slow.
My son and I just started BMX racing. It's a lot of fun and good exercise.
Well Done! Manuels are key. Get that xtra pedal in before the first jump and wheelie your front tire just a touch over the lip and let your back tire hit the lip launching you at an alternative angle( back tire higher than the front). Called bump jump.
Love Blake Sampson
BMX racing is an insanely fun sport to both ride and watch. Great job, Blake!
Blake will be starting GBMXN soon. Can't wait! π
ha haaa.. i was absolutely on the edge of my seat watching this! man that looked like fun⦠congrats dude.. you smashed it..more of that content pretty please!
You guys listen to some seriously good liquid DnB mad respect BOH!
can you guys try some bmx pedals on mtb
Way to go Blake! I really enjoy your competitive spirit! Thanks for giving such a great effort!
Makes me sad about Whittier BMX's demise
Very cool π. Blake certainly seemed to be grinning ear to ear!
BATH BMX CLUB
that was in fact impressive π
From Blake's sporting history: Bicycling techniques + Rugby sprints= BMX? Good going! πππ
Amazing work Mr S!! Takes me back nearly 40 years, when I was a lad!! Loved it so much, but the tech, the track surface everything is so much better than it used to be
!! Definitely need to see the other boys give it some beans!!
Started BMX in the 80's but ended up giving it up(joint troubles). Then I got into sport bike racing and that got too expensive… now I just trail ride my MTB and commute on a Zero(E-Motorcycle). I don't seem to be happy unless I have two wheels under me at all times. π
Another challenge for Blake is to take part to the Epic Enduro. The race just took part last week-end and it's way harder than Megavalanche or the MOH
Guys, the sound track is getting better and better with each video. Love it!
Make more bmx videos, they are so good πͺπͺ
I love bmx for the fact it's definitely a family type sport as children threw adults get to race and families and friends hang out and have a fun day
Well done Blake !
Blake is the guy you want to share a beer with!
Dude! That was a proper first time out! Most outstanding! Iβve been racing BMX since the 80s and itβs awesome to see someone come from the MTB world and embrace our sport.. Youβve definitely got the bike handling skills necessary, you just need to work on a few fundamentals and youβll be crushing it! Well done, Mate!
What about Blake does TTβs I rekon heβd enjoy the power and speed! Ooh and flatland bmx?!
awesome! nice one blake!
Yes, Blake! Congrats on the podium! Your base-level skill at just about everything is an inspiration!
Would love to see more of this from Blake! It would be cool to see a bit of street or park BMX on the channel as well.
Would be really fun to see a BMX presenter Game of BIKE at a skatepark with freecoasters and pegs. Really put them out of their element lol. Its different for sure. But if you already have a lot of bike skill you can figure it out and make the transition from MTB to BMX or vice versa.
STUPID QUESTION
MTB AS A WHOLE IS BS
Just keep being you, Blake. Love it!
Blake's got the BMX bug!
That was fantastic. 1st timer? Bandit! π Get the starts and the turns, you'll be on the top step. Well done Blakey ππππ
Great effort. Both of my kids race BMX and it can be a crash fest, so Blake did well to keep it upright.
You should try cruiser
Bmx is where itβs at! Miss the racing, just not the politics.
BMX Blake. Would be cool if you made this into a series & see how far you could progress. I for one would enjoy it.
From my son: βWht didnβt he show the podium?!!β π. Well done big guy ππ»
Remember when Jared Graves did this all the way to the olympics?
Well done Blake, mega job πͺ
Can't beat BMX for that 40 second explosive adrenaline rush. The tracks have changed so so much to the mud lime stone that we used to race on in the 80s but the buzz is the same! Well done Blake. Fantastic effort! π
Awesome job Blake, great results. I never actually raced, except for a bit of fun against my mates but riding BMX tracks and mountain biking in general with much more experienced and skilled riders definitely will show you a lot. I just like the smooth flow of a good BMX track.
If you've raced BMX, you know this is not easy. Respect! And everybody racing clean, according to their age π
Where it all started for me, on a GT BMX in the mid 90's π€
The boy is proper buzzing, nice
