Yup, there's no need to be a stickler for what type of content should be on the channel. So long as there's a bike involved and it's entertaining., rock on! 😊

The original 'fan bike' idea was pioneered by Rob Warner in Earthed 3 (Alex Rankin, 2006). Of course he'd shout out Sam, Blake and Martyn are both friends with him. Martyn's 'Ashton Bikes' might have even been Sam's first pro sponsor
Fabrication leads to elation! Keep on building Blake!
Loved it. Blake's welding skills and fabrication skills are just getting better as he goes.
Blake is the top of the list of people to call if you have too many leaves in your back yard
This is the best!!! Love it!
Coolest looking leaf blower I've ever seen! Well done Blake!
Has a bit of a Colin Furze feel to it, minus the beat-your-head-against-the-wall-rock music. Fun build!
How long until Colin Furze is here! And given your love of metal fab and welding Blake, i reckon you need to build a swing bike next... 😁
Blake, you’re The Man. Keep doing what you do best, being yourself! 😎
I definitely want to see more videos like this

What would you like to see next?
That’s awesome!
We definitely need more "Blake Builds" episodes
Well that gets a win for the sheer bonkers of it 🙂 BTW, the reason angling them down to 'push off the ground' doesn't work is that the thrust comes from basic Newtonian reaction. The mass of the air thrown back pushes you forward. So to maximize the forward vector of your motion, you want the thrust pointed straight back. (Yeah, there could be some interesting ground effects etc. but that takes experimentation or modeling to figure out)
What a crazy build!!
This would be a awesome idea for spring trail clean up mounted forwards get the leafs gone. 💪🏽
haha Blake that was so much fun watching!!!
Blake...that was awesome. I especially liked the Evel Knievel outfit. The stuff you come up with is crazy. Just wondering how fast did you end up going?
A boy and his toys. Love it.
So silly, yet satisfying to watch. Keep it up!
Hell Yeah Blake! 💙😆 Love the Evil Keneval outfit. Cheers from across the pond! 🚲💨 💥👊🏻💥
Great build 👍
This is so crazy, I need more of it 🤣
Blake ‘MacGyver’ Samson rides again. So good! 😂
More Blake build stuff please 😃💪🏾🤙🏾
Blake has out done himself
I really enjoy the Blake builds . Would like to see you attempt to create your own crazy electric mountain bike . You have successfully built a mountain bike before so maybe time to step it up . Dual suspension electric mountain bike .. thanks for the content.
Blake Build's... Let's GO!!!!
That jumpsuit was awesome 😂
Fairplay that was a cracking vid top man for mentioning Sam pilgrim your both great 😂
I've probably said this before but Blake and Colin Furze need to do a collab.
Love that it was inspired by Sam Pilgrim's paramotor vids! You two should trade ideas until you have an incredible shed-engineering collab to do!
Haha! Great stuff!
Theres just not enough Blake
build a drill bike! I did one with a bmx chainring bolted on where the rear disc goes and a bmx freewheel on the chuck. then a bmx brake or loop of cable to operate drill trigger. might need some sort of chain tensioner
Love love love 🤩
As a welder, the elephant bit had me in tears😂 I’ve never seen that happen before either
All of this and this dude can Surf as well!!! The bloke is crazy!!!! Blake is down right crazy! Love the outfit though.....;-)
Omfg! 😂 this is rad 🎉
Of course, i wanna see more. I love this kind of stuff, Blake may be you can run an electric bike off electric drill batteries 😅
Blake you legend 🎉😂
Blake Montana is a different beast 😂
Crazy bike build off is needed between embn gmbn and Sam pilgrim and then put them through some challenges. 👌
that was fuckin hilarious kent... thanks for the uplifting laughs Blake... InLa'kech
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...I've only watched the opening, but that's enough. 😂😂😂😂😂
Guy went mad as soon as he learned how to weld ;-)
Sooo epik awesome
The new Colin furze 🤙🏻
E-bike next level 😮
Now we need race with Sam and his propeller bike😂
#Hack or Bodge Welding and cable ties!! and seem to have dropped quite low by the end in the garden. But GREAT FUN STUFF :)
Finally, a cool e-bike.
Blake, you are an F'ing loon...and I LOVE it!!! Only question I have, is do you have Argon on-site for welding up a BMW 135i Ti exhaust? Man, I wish you and Hank, and Hank's Dad would do a DIY bike, moto, and automotive show! Manon could drive, and Hank could go for flat whites!
Im waiting for 'the whole of gmbn tandem bike contraption thingy'🤣
Inspired by Sam Pilgrim and his paramotor!! 🤘🏻😎💯🙏🏻
Ey Blake, awesome build! Please collab with Adam Savage. He might have some bike innovations in mind.
A collab between Blake and Furze would be heaven sent.
Bwhahahah! It's like watching Albert Einstein on hallucinogens work.
😅 . I'd love a go on it / that bike ❤
I'm guessing all the GMBN presenter now have a free leaf blower. :)
Bonkers 😂
Blake Builds!
Colin Furze not feeling especially threatened. 😂
"Point them down so they push against the ground for extra thrust." Classic misunderstanding of how a rocket works. Colin Furze called, asked what you did with the flames he sent over. 🙂
Any reason you aren't running the 44mm Mezcals on your gravel bike?
How about RC jet engine for the next time ?

Glue a bunch of fireworks onto the bike, light them up, hit warp speed!
Do one with drones, maybe have them on ropes to deal with the space issue as I guess you'd need quite a few?
Sam would be proud.
Give Tom Stanton a ring!
Blake Samson, the new Colin Pilgrim 😅
At some point Blake is going to need to take Colin Furze biking
NEXT QUESTION: Does Jet bike allow you to beat Hank on a climb? What about Manon on an Ebike? So many questions we need answered!

You clearly need to collaborate with Colin Furze!
Is there going to be a massive leaf blower giveaway in the next days on the channel? 😂
blake really told a leaf blower to calm down 💀💀
So when does the Sam/ Blake stunt channel start?
Look for a video from Igor Negoda with a jet engine on a bicycle
while one english king of jet powered vehicles goes underground a competitor arises :D
I know what the GMBN employees are getting for Christmas this year. Eight of them at least.
Drift tricycle with electric lawnmower or chainsaw motor?
Thank you for doing the things my wife will not let me do.
Have you been watching Colin Furze? 😂
please test how much pressure it takes to blow a tire off the rim
I will cry if this isn't introduced on hack\bodge of the week.
That looks scarily I stavle
Would have liked to have seen it tackle off road or a steep hill.
You should add some colored smoke so that we see on the video how much airflow there is
Blake, are you possibly related to Red Green?
how about a pulse jet?
