It’s time for another GMBN face-off! This time we are making Blake Samson and Rich Payne race to tick off as many challenges as possible in the Morzine mountains. Each successfully completed challenge will earn them 5 points, with jaw-dropping jumps, technical terrain and even a pee with a view? Who will complete the most challenges and take the crown!

    1. Not that Australia has half the alpine places to do stuff like this but as an Aussie I would love to see something like this based in Australia. It reminded me of the challenges from top gear and getting different envelopes to announce a challenge.

    2. Blake, your overtake doesn't count because you took the easy line. 🤔

      That log wasn't that skinny. 😂

      Sloppy roost. 😋

      Path gap was questionable. 😊

      😂😂😂😂

    3. That whole video was just pure entertainment. Rich could have done a little whip over the widow maker and I would have counted it. Yes Blake that was a road gap and just how far can you truly manual? That was awesome. I am still working on my manuals, managed to drop 16kg in weight down from 126kg to 110kg in 6 months just so I can get better at manuals. I want to manual as far up my street as I possibly can.

    4. We want moooore !!! We want more of those challenges !! Taken individually, Rich and Blake are already the best presenters EVER but those 2 together is a masterpiece !! Thank you for this 😀

    5. You'd think that we've seen enough challenges between those two, but this one was so much fun to see (also because a few more 'social' tricks in there :)). And what an awesome place to toy around….

    6. Why not do series of going round the UK (or beyond) to known and lesser known bikeparks/trailscentres and do some challenges against some locals

    7. Awesome challenge guys I would definitely watch more of that Blake you rock man and rich you also rock love what you guys do you have the best job in the world. Keep it up. Quality

    8. 🚨 Definitely more challenges! I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say they are hands down the best videos 🤙🏼 especially when they include Blake 👏👏 would love to see one at a US bike park, perhaps an east coast one?? I hear Highland MTB park in New Hampshire is sick. Let’s make it happen!! 🚨🎉
