I'm the old man ... Ride anywhere and everywhere and get there eventually. 73 and still riding Mountain trails here in the Southern Philippines

[dubbleD]

Merry Christmas to you guys and everyone else who watches! Thanks for giving me something to watch after work all year!

[GelMibson-uy]

The Clydesdale....last one up, first one down.

The Go-Proer: Cameras hanging off the Helmet, the bars, the seat tube and out the mouth. Will session a jump time after time to get the shot and hold up the group to setup the best angle.May actually get one run done in a day.
They may even have a dedicated cameraman following them around. :) But we do love the content, keep it up.

I’m the Robinson Crusoe type: takes a wrong turn, ends up in the middle of nowhere, talking to chipmunks… 😆

[jasonw]

I'm definitely the minimalist and jibber haha. That's what you get from riding bmx your whole life before starting mtb.

[Seppster]

Blake videos are the best. I could consider myself a "Trail Guide" as I am always getting out the phone and checking for the trail routes, and also overpacked with spares..LOL. But in the end, the rides are fun and adventurous.

[myrtlekenazjanairo]

I'm the unfit + trail guide. I bring all sorts of tools for the bike, food, water, powerbank for my phone, a raincoat, etc. It's like im going for a picnic lmao.

[francisdee]

There’s also the dude who always gives you riding advice😁

[NoggintheNog]

I'm both the jibber and the unfit one. Completely knackered before I leave the car park.

[KevinT]

I was the unfit minimalist, but that was at the beginning 50 lbs ago. We do get better...

[ddsgardening]

Blake you need to seriously to have your own YouTube show really, merry Xmas to you and your family

[jaycarneygiants]

What do you call the guy that buys a brightly colored bike and then does everything he can to match the color with his helmet, grips, and watchband?

[tomalleeson]

Good fun Blake. Thanks for another one!

[robsmith]

I’m all of them except the faffer. That’s my best friend I ride with. Together we make up the whole team. 🤣

[Paganiproductions]
