He's old school, he's in his 40's now and lived in MTB when dicking about was in its prime. People didn't have vigorous training routines, they found some dirt, made some jumps, and just fooled about with their mates after school each day. Kids had to improvise with their bikes a bit too. If you wanted to race DH, you grabbed your trusty XC hardtail and with some parts from your LBS's discount bin, you pretended it was a DH bike.

It's going to sound weird, but Doddy is the most unassuming rider on this channel. If that makes sense. He's rarely seen showcasing his skills, but he's an absolute monster :)

I think the Marin is a beautiful design. Fugly is in the eye of the beholder. Impressive style and skill from Doddy in the car park! Very cool 😎

Nothing beats the originals and i love the music at the beginning

This brings me back! Still have my old GT Timberline and Avalanche and still have fun on them! Catching the salami is no fun though. I love these retro vids!

I LOVE the details in this video, especially the 4:3 aspect ratio

Doddy has some serius skills! Amazing

This is a great video, definitely know that you're heading in the right direction when you've got Blake flying sounding like a 250, heaps of laughs, good job boys :)

Doddy is the king, he ripped them apart in 2 seconds

The challenge videos are sooo entertaining, more please!! Also a good idea, do a challenge where you guys build a bike on a tight budget and have to do a set of challenges to see who’s built the best bike ;)

Those Xizang’s are really a work of art!

100% my score go's to Doddy full titanium GT & XTR like how lucky a pure 90's XC racers pin up 😍. Oh yes how's the sausage Doddy? - looked like pure squashing/crushing pain......was fully expecting the high pitched Michael Jackson Impression!!!! 😂

Think you should try another new v old. But this time build a new old stock frame with 2019 parts. Maybe on a 2009 full suspension frame. Should make interesting viewing

But most new parts won't fit the old standarts, for example modern forks wouldnt fit into the old narrow headset. But just seeing what basic upgrades would to to the bike would be nice. A wider handlebar is probably the most important change

@@gaz2188 Yeah, that's pretty much what I found out when I thought about reviving my old late 90s XC rig. Just not worth the trouble, plus none of the choice parts will really be compatable. Everything today is beefier, axle standards changed, hub spacing and chainstay designs changed to suit wider range rear gearing, wider tires, and larger wheels, Handle bar diameters changed, brakes have gone to almost exclusively disc in MTB (issue if your 90's frame doesn't have disc brake mounts) Fork steer tube standards changed, headset designs changed, BB standards changed. To do a full ground up build using the best 2019 parts on a late 90s frame... its gonna be a PITA.

It seems that there's a whole community of like minded people for stuff like this!! The number of people wanting them to do more on retro and older bikes. Honestly, I am of the same belief. I have already commented something very similar to somebody else today about wanting gmbn to notice us one day!! We'll live in hope. If something of the kind happens we will all be buzzing!! Hope you get seen mate!!

This is really what GMBN does best, just show the joys and fun of MTB. Don't take it too serious and have fun!

-1 for Neil, 1990 Lavadome originally had Project 2 forks, those are not P2's for sure!

An epic ride/bikepacking adventure on the retro beasts would be pretty interesting. Points awarded for the least repairs required along the way!

Because of OP music for a moment I thought this is Abroad in Japan channel :D

😂 That was an ace video, looked so much fun. Riding a retro/older bike does show how far bike technology has come. Awesome stuff Blake, Neil and Doddy 👊🤟 #GMBN

Love that Lava Dome! And rad that Neil has upgraded with huge fat tires and the 1x gearing. Nice looking steel rig.

You beautiful people!! Why just retro week?? I'd like retro month

I LOVE retro challenge!!! Blake "this is good for motorbike noises" had me in stitches ahaha

this is entertaining to watch! Doddy looks so natural riding that retro GT

Love you guys! Keep up the good work!! 🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️🚵‍♀️🚵‍♀️

My favorite part about Doddy's GT might be the original Selle Italia Flite. That thing would cost a pretty penny on its own right now.

It's so good to see y'all on those bikes, loved every minute of it.

I remember doing the “ motorcycle noise” thing with old can me and a friend would raid the recycle bins for old cans and squeeze them between the frame and rear tyre I think we pissed off a neighbour once though.

1996 GF Tassajara, fully rigid, bought to ride abandoned railway tracks (ties/sleepers removed) and about only thing I want to upgrade are hard rubber grips to have more dampening for arms.

Still riding my GT All Terra Outpost Trail. Triple triangle 4130 chromoly steel. The large frame with the extremely long stem has my head in the clouds but my baby is smooth, solid and absolutely gorgeous! Still great for cruising, trail riding, camping, bike hiking and messing around with the grand kids in the cul de sac. Great to see you guys have held on to your old faithfuls. Will not even consider single track at speed faster than I can walk though😉 That was fun, had me in stitches. Thank you!

..you three are the most fun guys to watch on YT..not only related to mtb..thanks a lot for your videos, your knowledge..and your humour in general

Ha! Awesome! I just posted a video of my 1989 Kona fire mountain a few days ago. Great to see a lavadome from the same year.

Fun on ANY working bike really, good job, thx all!

So stoked! My only MTB is retro, and I ride it all the time on gnarly trails. It's cool to see you all representing the retro bikes. They can still be great fun, especially if you upgrade the components. I'm riding a 1996 Litespeed Obed F/S titanium full sus, 80mm travel front and rear. I've replaced every component on it, changed to wide bars instead of that narrow bar madness, and it still rips!

Retro Week will always be the most fun event on GMBN❤️

This challenge is insane man. I remember the past. Super classic it feels 1990's again. Love this video. 👊

Bone shaking and sausage smashing is the best descriptor of 1990s mountain biking I have ever heard, it is 100% accurate!

Glad to see some content with Doddy riding.

Classic! Good times for all. Love the video editing as well.

wow watching these guys fooling around is just so much fun! feels like I'm there with them!

This reminded me so much of the beloved old Top Gear. I would LOVE to see you guys explore that format.

Omg 😂 those were gems back in the 90's 👌🤣🤙

One of your best vids. It brought back great memories of the late 90s

I am grateful for the advancements in mountain biking. Back in the day we didn't know that what we rode could be better, we just road what we had. It wasn't as much about what type of trail you road, as it was a bunch of folks getting together to ride on dirt and in the woods. The first mountain bikes we had were rigid front and rear and you felt like your whole body was numb after riding the trail. My hope for the future of mountain biking is to continue to advance, but never forget the past and the main reason mountain biking came to existence. Have fun, ride whatever you have, make friends and make great memories.

Doddy in the car park skills riding a wheelie while drinking from a water bottle!!! Too awesome!!! Should’ve gotten 10pts for that move! Great video. 2-👍🏻

11:39 great editing! loved it

Retro week has been great watching this episode gave me as many chuckles as you guys had

Love this! Lol....the bars on doddys bike!! Looks like the brake levers are nearly touching, so narrow!🤘

All the old by bikes are pure classic. Especially the old bmx they used to make.

Yes, i had lava dome race light! Awesome bike.

lmao! love these retro challenges! bring them back!

Loved hearing Blake shout out Doddy’s name, they sound like kids out having fun lol

"That's wheelee good".... Glorious

Love these retro bike segments!! 👍 The GT is super nice but Neal's rigid Kona really gets it! Blake is a classic all around.

Ooooh I like all bikes but.. I just love the GT 🤙

I SO enjoyed this one. Great job all!

This was awesome! More of this please!

nice one neil, its like triggers sweeping brush!!

It has to be Doddy that is so retro. But for out right lunacy it has to be Blakes motorbike impression !!!! cheers guys loving the retro stuff.

This is so funny to watch, more something like this!!

Of course. The GT dominates. Since 1972. Love em!

Love this kind of videos

I love this kind of videos...the guys seem to have tons of fun 😆

Neil's bike has a new drivetrain!

I love my 97 klein attitude comp Hardtail XSmall.The only thing i changed was the clip pedals to flats,and the rock shock coil,i had to replace with a air rock shock.They just don!t fix anything anymore.The bike fits well,and it does the job for me. Great Video on Retro,keep them coming.🚴✌

Nearly spat my tea out watching this. Absolutely great. What was that last trail you flew down, looked really nice.

Thats it, im definitely getting a hardtail, end of the year

I collect retro mountain bikes, so im definitely watching every video this week.

thank's for keeping vintage bikes alive with your videos! I try to keep some of the vintage ones (mostly Cannondale) on youtube "keep on pedalling" alive.

loved this one guys

12:40 That's some honesty in reporting!

Doddy is killing it !!

Loving these challenges keep it up.

I started mountain biking this last year on a fully rigid 26" bike. Seeing how much you guys hated your bikes suspension or lack there of, and how much I still enjoy my bike, Its hard to believe just how much better a modern mountain bike is in comparison.

gonna be a great week!!!

Wow Doddy, looked like he's in his natural habitat, showed off some skills :D

Love these retro vids more please guys!

great vid guys! keep up the great work!

Hahahaha background music was so accurate! lol

There's nothing better than seeing world class pros just giggling and acting like little kids doing what they love

I love these videos! You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!

You guys are so original and experiment so much with your videos it's awesome

the kona lava dome and gt xizang really bring back old memory. i use to ride KHS, the one with blue and pink colour back in the day, on the expressway with my other roadie friend, lol

I love that GT. Great bike.

Blake is my favourite person on KZread. He’s hilarious!
