Pumping is an essential skill to add speed and fluidity to your riding. Pumping through corners and berms will also add some smoothness to the trail as well as allowing you to pick up speed as you exit a corner. And jumps? Well aside from developing your skills for larger trail features and drops, they just look cool.
Do you ride pump tracks to develop your skills?

Most of us watching have the road cycling capabilities of the gmbn crowd and the offroad abilities of the gcn crew
Thanks Si for your vulnerability. I jump like you do. I am practicing to loosen up a bit too. It's encouraging. Thanks Blake for your input. "Super nice!"
It's helpful seeing someone try techniques who can't do it. That's me and the level Blake was showing him at made so much sense. Could you make this low level stuff a regular feature. Sure you'd get plenty of volunteers.

"Pop that seat up a bit" Lol. I love these cross over video's. I watch GCN as well and I'd love to see some GMBN presenters on there.
4:03 love the street art on the right
Would love to see GMBN team up with GCN more often. :-)
I have seen countless videos on how to ride a pump track and berms and this is by far the best video. The day I saw this I hit the pump track and by God I was doing it. And those berms never felt better. Thanks 😊
3:20 That roadbike just sat in the background...

Great format - much better to see someone trying to learn than only to see the pro's who make everything look easy!
Awesome learning! ...with humility from an elite-experienced road-biker champ and a top-notch friendly down-to-earth instruction from a legendary free-rider! This is how it's done! So inspiring!

I'd like to see Simon's progression after some amount of practice! And maybe a pumptrack/endurance race..? :D
Man I love these GMBN and GCN videos. Keep up the good work guys!
Blake, I have shared this video with all my cycling buds to learn your berm techniques (easily transferred to our mountain biking). You are truly graceful to watch and I love how you break this down and piece the teaching together for Si. Keep bringing us the walk through's with others. And thanks Si for acting like those of us who need the exact same training.
Blake - Tailwhips Simon - ... Hahaha loved the video!
The "artwork" on that one corner is Perfection.
Practice practice practice, Blake is great at explaining what works and how to do it. Learned a lot from Si and Blake from both channels
I like the way you bring in other disciplines (GCN) who I watch a lot. It's all about learning and fun. Brill!

Can't wait to see Si get taught by Blake how to ride Whistler on a DH bike and see him do Freeride 😂😂
Great to the coming together of riders from different disciplines working together. Love it
Best tutorial video you guys have made. So much better than a pro doing it precisely every time. More of this please, even more in depth.
Class video. I like the chemistry between Si and Blake. Very natural and respectful. Hopefully see more of the duo
Collaboration of the best two of the most humble-overall-nice-guys in two different cycling disciplines! Happy to watch this all day! :-D
Blake is such a great teacher and Si a great pupil. Brilliant combo! I actually accidentally got air on my cx bike a few days ago going over a big root. Obviously just a tiny bit of air but so much fun!
Can we see si get his own jump bike and come back to the channel more often? This video was wicked fun!
I love seeing Si here he's always a lot of fun ;) and the video is fantastic
Si has such a funny dry sense of humor. Blake the top lad as ever. Jumps are effortless for him! 🇿🇼 🍻
Just as an observer (you both ride WAY better than I do) I see Si's feet forward and toes pointed down on the jumps whereas Blake's feet are really flat with heals pointed down. I mention that because as I am just starting out and learning, I'm watching your vids and noticing that even the slightest change can make all the difference. Thanks guys!
I quit riding @ 16 years old when I got my driver's license, now @ 33 I wanna get back into it. I use to ride bmx street & never experienced a pump track. Now that my town has one I'm anxious to get into it. Picked up a Trek Roscoe7 over the weekend, thanks for the lesson.
Brill. I usually zoom past pump tracks but not any more. You are a great coach esp keep everything positive. You know exactly how to speed up skill development and raise confidence. Steve Allen
Really helpful video on how to start on pump tracks imo, so thankyou for uploading this!
A very useful video, I have a new dirt jump bike coming in the next week or so and my almost 50 year old self definitely could use pointers on pump tracking and jumping.
#GMBN #GCN greatly enjoy when both channels collaborate. Awesome to see!
Its nice to see Si not wearing Lycra for once. I didn't know, that he had a Jeans in his wardrobe. ;-)
absolutely loving all the gmbn/gcn collabs lately!!!!!!
I really enjoy these types of videos Blake! Please do more!!
Probably my favorite collaboration with GCN on GMBN!!
Si is quite the eager learner. And really enjoyed the beginner tips for jumps. It was a good learning video!
Weel done, Blake ! Some valuable tips... So much fun on a pumptrack.
Time to get Blake in a time trial setup :). That was great thanks!
Finally a video that talks about the body mechanics of riding
Hes exactly at my level of suckness, super helpful! Thanks for sharing!!!
excellent and timely there is a new pump track 1/2 mile or so from my house .. these tips should come in handy
Love the collaborations!!! Cool Video!
As far as I know Si is also an MTB rider hence this learning jump thing is that he's preparing for something more than epic... unprecedented even...hmmm🤔🙂🙂
started to get the hang of it today and it felt so good ,just the high speed turns i need to get the hang of now
Very helpful video. I definitely don't practice pump tracks enough, this is very encouraging. Great video
Great video, Really simplifies things.
What a great video. Guys this rocks!!!
That was so good!!!
Thanks Blake and Si.
This is gold! Thanks
Epic video love the pump track
Excellent video!!!!
I miss my local pump track! Looks like you guys had a blast!
i love pumping on mountain trails, it helps a lot
great video, keep it up
These small pump tracks are so fun and cool. Wish we have these here in Vancouver
I could not wait have to watch it in school
Great video, Si is great for crossover videos!!
This is very informative and also a lot like Bilbo teaching Gandalf how to jump.
More of coach Blake video!! How bout you teach doddy/neil how to do big jumps? HAHAHA
Blake you totally mad e me want to get some coaching. Thanks for a great video!
Greetings from Oregon the only pump track that’s close to me in my location is in Salem Oregon about 60 miles away I’ll definitely take this video along with me with my technology and put it to practice on the pump track
Both my fav presenter, its fun see them both
More of these please.
This is so relatable!
that was some great progression
I love this, Blake you’re my favourite
great vid guys
6:38 got to say, that's a Nice trackstand
Gcn Gmbn crossovers are the best!! These two are great together
Forever searching for this pump track! - you guys should check out the new pump track at hillfields in Bristol! Unreal! - rad video as per!
Si just described _exactly_ how i felt the first time i rode a dirt jumper
Good tips, despite the 170mm travel I have seemingly working against me. Sometimes take my old bmx racer out.
Blake is the more bad ass...great video
Very informative great video.
Nice job! These collabs are great! I have passed the stadium of being scared of cornering in a bike park but when cornering in a pump track I’m there again... Probably ’cause the pump track corners are tighter? I know the feeling of being a passenger on the bike in the corners, as Blake mentioned. I think I can get decent speed pumping and when I hit a corner it feels like I’m going crazy fast and I have to slam the breaks because my cornering technique is’nt up to par... As I get it I should start high up on the berm, lean more into the turn and spot the exit?
I love the way Blake said “faster” as “fauster” I’ve gotten so use to it 😂😂
Hello, awesome post dudes😀😃😄
The path of less resistance :)... so cool. :D
Great to see that your in Bristol man hopefully I can meet h there one day
Great video, guys
As a life time roadie, pump tracks have always fascinated me. I could sit and watch the kids on my local one all day. One day.....
i really like when you two collaboration nice content !!!
What a great video
Really enjoyed this, I can pump and corner fine but haven't tried gapping at the pump track yet. Thinking if I p;lay this on repeat as I sleep, then maybe I will nail it next time I get to the pump track? One for manuals and bunnyhops next in this format?
Si should be officially seconded to GMBN, he is the ultimate amphibian presenter!
Si's grin at 8:07 is me watching GMBN presenters jump (bunny hop). Gotta work on my bunny hops.
This is also my local pumptrack I found this vidio useful also being on home surfaces
