[joostdeen]

Great video, please make it a series🤙🏾

[LawrenceMacMacster]

I don't jump that much but I can do 180 whips and tabletops for sure, absolutely avoiding flips.
That should be the next tutorial from Blake 😅

[charliedelta]

Good stuff as always! Bring the crazy hair guy with you next time!

[outdoorswithalex]

I still am nowhere near good enough at jumping to do that
But i might be racing my first enduro tomorrow or the day after

[topgundk]

I think you should bring Rich, to demonstrate your teaching skills in these videos. Then he can also give tips and tricks to us viewers, as he learn :D

[yasouhasuki]

Good to see blake on dj bike again maybe a tailwhip or flair next 😂😂😂

[geko]

I actually find it easier to do a one foot table because you just leave the bottom foot hanging and and the motion becomes easier to lay the table really flat

[timluscombe]

Don’t know why I watching this it’s never going to happen😂

[JoeIsCrazyWillman]

I notice turning the bars and also tipping the bike to the left is comfortable enough, but to the right I get very janky almost every time 😬

[tristatetrifecta]

wasnt this same video released awhile ago ... i say it cause i know i watched it several times before

[adamdon]

Whatever happened to the turndown? Few things look steezier but it died a death

[MegaChoo]

Tables the easy part. Landing is what kills me.

@gmbn
There’s a pop up gmbn merch add that keeps sitting across my screen on and off whilst the vid is in play. Adds are fine but pop up adds that keep popping up whilst in play of a 6 min vid is really annoying and hard to actually see what’s going on. I took screenshots but typical YouTube I can’t post them in comments. I’m gonna click off on this one half way thru because it’s annoying. Also just incase this has anything to do with the annoying I play add: I did actually already play the vid but my adhd brain started cleaning up junk piles so maybe the in play adds are for the second watch?! Probably not tho.
