    I personally would like to see more skatepark or even street-freeride content! Either with BMX, DJ or regular MTBs
  • @susanattai7631
    Blake rides like he's born on a bike. Such a strong, graceful rider. I always like the ones where he competes against the GCN crew. And smokes them. lol
  • @MudManDanYT
    It's so impressive to see such a versatile rider! Nice one Blake!!
  • @andrewlewis4253
    I spend a lot of time at Joyride precisely for the reasons stated in this video. Things I learn there translate directly to summertime dirt jumps and mountain riding. Everyone in MTB should be riding a smol bike too.
  • @rccars4130
    your teaching is really good and it helps me a lot
  • @ashpunting
    skateparks looks like fun plus a can go there if the rain is stopping me riding on the street perfect and I'd love to see more skatepark content πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ’™
  • @donyang3128
    That was awesome. Yes more skatepark content would be very cool
  • @lee6343
    I've been riding my dirt jumper at skateparks for a few months now and I love it. I've tried to get some "traditional" mtb riders into it but there seems to be some resistance. Not sure why.
  • @alansmith2593
    Wahoo, more skate park stylin you guys are turbo rad
  • @joellewis759
    Mountain biking in skateparks is actually really fun! πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸΌ

    Yoo Blake sick canyon dirt bikeπŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
  • @rsdan1984
    I bought a dirt jumper and have been riding skate park and am noticing it pay off on the trails, particularly with manuals and pumping. I now push with my legs when I manual and I only picked that up through manualling down fun boxes at the skate park.
  • @junka1975
    Skate parks are great when you don't want to get muddy, but it's always fun to ride different things even if they scare you. Variety spices up your riding. I am not a great rider like Blake or Neil but it's nice to be able to swap from the xc bikes to the dirt jumper or bmx and try different things. I reckon everyone who rides MTB should also have a bmx in their arsenal because riding a small bike you barely fit on without strong brakes like hydraulic discs and no suspension will teach you a bit. Plus it's fun to do goofy challenges and bizarre tricks on a bmx with your mates.
