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!

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.
Blake, your overtake doesn't count because you took the easy line. 🤔
That log wasn't that skinny. 😂
Sloppy roost. 😋
Path gap was questionable. 😊
😂😂😂😂
Best video in ages. Great fun.
This was awesome! Looks like something super fun to do
Shameful rip off of “the game of G.N.A.R” nice try though.
sheesh, that gets you stoked on riding!
Pee with a view + Pissta.
I almost didn't watch this but it was great!
That was fun. Should be a thing for all your destinations.
We need moooore like this please , way more 😄🤙🏾
Surely link us the list to try at home!
With Rich, I just love his Rallon! With Blake, he’s such a sport 😂😂😂😂😂
Fantastic video guys, more please.
now this is massive series material
Actually the signature bit was the funniest. Should do more bike park pranks – sorta like Impractical Jokers meets Game of BIKE!
Yes, more please! Always a good time when these two are together!
Brilliant. I think gmbn need to splash out on some better pens though. 😂🤣🥸
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.
We viewers won … Loved it!!!! What a great video!
I love you guys for bringing us fun and thrill every week.
I absolutely loved this you could this sort of challenge anywhere. How about a challenge tour around Britain towns and villages none of you have been before.👌
Neil, you risked your life riding this thing this way!
fantastic video… good job… so fun…
Pie with the view everyone loves! 😅
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 😀
Some challenges in Australia would be sick like at Thredbo
Jack can shred. He ain't any old idiot.
I have issues with how rich does a ✔️
Like Blake's 1903 bathing suit ;0
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….
What an awesome idea for a day at the park. So much fun to be had. Do it again!
Would have loved to see Blake on his Nukeproof Scout 🧐😜
Blakes the man!!!!
Good fun!
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
Spent a couple of months in PDS this summer so loved this 👍
Bentonville
It’s a skinny Blake
Great video. Love the challenges 😊
Do a show about bike shop mechanics
How to rate them and skills they have
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
Amazing episode! So much fun.
Mush that rich bloke did nothing a beigner couldn’t do 🤣🤣
🚨 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!! 🚨🎉
