I have several pump tracks in my community but I have only visited them once. I am also a skateboarder and I know how to pump transitions so I was like a duck to water! I am really a MTB'er but I apply the same principals to my riding. It is just instinct to "Pump the transition" on everything. I think these cross discipline are very intriguing and hope to see more content along these lines. There is burred treasure here just ripe for the mining Blake! Cheers - M

Last time I raced a BMX was 30 yrs ago with other kids, pure savagery, I also learned 80% of what I know on a bike then... Invaluable experience... I now have a Haro citizen but I don't race it, just for fun 😅

there are only a few pump tracks in Germany.. and all of them would probably fit inside that one giant corner of the track shown in the video..

BMX Blake. Would be cool if you made this into a series & see how far you could progress. I for one would enjoy it.

Did anyone give you a hard time? Calling you a sandbagger etc? I had a horrible experience, well my daughter did. She races (cat-1)dh. Won the state champs and had a horrible accident. Brain injury. Was off her bike for almost 7 months. Thank god she’s ok. But when the time was right she wanted to ease back into racing and did a few small local races racing cat-2(went down a class for obvious reasons ) and the parents mostly were the ones giving a 14 year old girl a hard time. Name calling etc. It bothered/hurt her so bad she she didn’t race the final and we left. 3 years later she’s back to normal racing elite now and finished 3 in state and 6th in nationals.

Sorry for your daughters experience in DH, but no, we don’t roll like that in BMX. Everyone has a good time, great banter on and off the track, young and old, everyone is welcome, nobody is judged. Have fun, ride, laugh.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's experience! Some people can be pretty thoughtless when it comes to competitive events! Hope those parents were called out on their behaviour. Great to hear she's back to the sharp end and enjoying it again now though!

Blake did very, very well indeed! Congratulations!

Blake will be starting GBMXN soon. Can't wait! 😉

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! 👍

Well done Blake! You give me inspiration for my up coming first BMX race. When I was a kid I wanted to race but it never happened. Now at the age of 54 I have decided to go full in and see what happens. Great show Bro and I hope to see more of this content. Your the bollocks mate! - M

Unfortunately, my racing finished before it even started after a horrible crash. I just have to watch/support my kids, but I'm so jealous of the older riders able to race. I still take my bike down the track, but it's low risk riding now.

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.

Good to see bmx get some notice! Best sport and a good time to get into it for the summer series 😅

Blake is very impressive

Blake is so competitive! Didn't get the best start, made mistakes, but never gave up. More of this please

Raced NBL in the States as an adult, along with my son. What a blast. Knee injury at 50 ended my BMXing.

Really hope you keep making videos on bmx racing! best sport out there

Yes, Blake! Congrats on the podium! Your base-level skill at just about everything is an inspiration!

My son and I just started BMX racing. It's a lot of fun and good exercise.

You killed it! The simple enthusiasm for all things bike, shines through all the technical stuff. Hope you had a beer or two after this 🤙

Well done Blake. That looked like fun, knackering fun.

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!

That was so awesome! Thank you GMBN! Still a HUGE FAN! Great content, editing, music ... exciting to watch. Good on ya mates.

That was so good Blake. Well done!

Well done! Thiswas so cool to watch, cool to go outside the mtb box!

Glad to see Blake killing it and enjoying it!!

Very impressive,Blake! Well done and would love to see you tackle more BMX!

Brilliant film and so well done Blake 💪

This was awesome! More BMX and Blake you did great!

Best gmbn vid I've watched in ages see the excitement in Blake's face

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.

Great work Blake 😊

Way to go Blake! I really enjoy your competitive spirit! Thanks for giving such a great effort!

Fair play Blake for an old timer at the sport you still have a lot of explosive power 😉

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!!

Just keep being you, Blake. Love it!

That was pretty good to watch. Nice one Blake.

Dude! That was a proper first time out! Most outstanding! I’ve been racing BMX since the 80s and it’s awesome to see someone come from the MTB world and embrace our sport.. You’ve definitely got the bike handling skills necessary, you just need to work on a few fundamentals and you’ll be crushing it! Well done, Mate!

BMX racing is an insanely fun sport to both ride and watch. Great job, Blake!

Very cool 😎. Blake certainly seemed to be grinning ear to ear!

When you started with the manual you won some extra meters against the other racers. Well done 🤙🏼

Your fun attitude was infectious on this one!

From Blake's sporting history: Bicycling techniques + Rugby sprints= BMX? Good going! 😄😄😄

Guys, the sound track is getting better and better with each video. Love it!

Bmx Blake was fun to watch.

Good to see bmx racing on the channel. You have some skills Blake. Looks like you enjoyed it. Gate technique will come and hope you have the bug for more. 👍🏻

Regularly take my 10yr old son to the local bmx track for some pump sessions. We are about to buy him a bmx bike so he can do some coaching sessions and some club racing. Hopefully that will help with his bike control and some other bike skills. He wants to race down hill and maybe some enduro but mostly down hill.

My son also just raced the kids worx at crankworx rotorua and loved every second of it for his first ever mtb race

Love it need more bmx in the videos guys

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. :)

awesome! nice one blake!

This was great content. Outstanding effort to finish on the podium, Blake. I'd like to see Blake do this again vs Rich to see if more MTBs can make the transition to BMX. Thanks GMBN.

Awesome job Blake you did really well dude👍

Well done ❤ thoroughly enjoyable. I think Blake’s explosive power helped him big time 💪

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.

Make more bmx videos, they are so good 💪💪

This was awesome - you should do a comparison on 20 v 24 v 26 to compare the same rider across the diff size bikes you can race

That was fantastic. 1st timer? Bandit! 😂 Get the starts and the turns, you'll be on the top step. Well done Blakey 👍👍👊👊

Well done Blake, mega job 💪

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

Blake is incredible, anything with 2 wheels he just seems to nail it ❤

You made me dust off my old BMX bike and give it a bit of a tune up to go to the local track soon 😁

Awesome Blake.

Smashed it! Hes blake sampson!

Very interesting story to watch

The boy is proper buzzing, nice

I just started BMX racing last year at 48 yrs young. Balancing at the gate is the hardest part for me. We run a different race format in the US.

that was in fact impressive :)

Wow Blake respect!

Great effort. Both of my kids race BMX and it can be a crash fest, so Blake did well to keep it upright.

So awesome 🤘it’s funny I’m a bmxican on this channel doing something different

Well done Blake !

can you guys try some bmx pedals on mtb

I know the turns are asphalt. What is the rest of the track surfaced with?

If you've raced BMX, you know this is not easy. Respect! And everybody racing clean, according to their age 🙂

I was always fine when I was out there by myself, but I always backed off when I couldn't hold the line I wanted. I was always shit at actual races.

I would like to see how far you can progress in a season.

bad cornering, but a hell of pumping. But i have the feeling, first is easier to improve.

My idol Blake congratulations from Philippines 🙏🏻🫰

Your an animal--Good Job

awseome!!!

Hey Blake, you inspired me to build a bike from scratch in my garage also. I'd love to share some pictures. Is there an email I can send to? Thanks for all the awesome videos

Bmx is where it’s at! Miss the racing, just not the politics.

There is no such thing as “flatland BMX” it’s just Flatland or freestyle. BMX is racing, freestylers have been wanting to call what they do as BMX also, but it’s not. BMX is racing on a purpose built track that emulates motorcycle motocross. Freestyle is all done on concrete, ramps or skateparks. There is no MX in freestyle….
