      Always surprised by how beautiful the Pyrenees are, and how little people go there or know about it. Especially in off season its pretty common to have entire trails to yourself, or sometimes almost the entire mountain.
      Also love the long seasons here (im currently on the spanish side of the pyrenees from where Neil was riding, Ainsa region) and the weather and trails are awesome!

      How do you get your POC so close to your ears?! Or are your ears just high? Tried one on and there was a good inch and a half gap at least butbthe helmet wasn't perched on top of my head and the adjusters for the cradle were set low.

    11. Nick Owens on

      So, I've never been to France, or most of Europe, honestly. I'm a bit surprised to see Neil just filling a bottle from what I would have called a 'fountain.' How do you…know that water is suitable for drinking?

    15. Gael BAUDOU on

      Awesome video! just one detail though it's Loudenvielle not Loudenville! Pyrenees are so beautiful, great that you guys show it to the world!

    20. Tony Nash on

      Nice to see you've fitted Mazza's to your Rallon, what size did you go for ?. I run a 2.6 Schwalbe Magic Mary up front with a 2.6 Vittoria Mazza on the rear of my 2018 Rallon

    21. StuJM on

      Said it more times than I can remember…… but I absolutely love watching Neil ride…. EWS should do a veterans race and get Neil involved, would be epic

    22. James Bradley on

      Neils reaction to that stupid bike when he was eating the black burger 😂 I seen one in Porthcawl seafront and gave the exact same look…. this made me laugh so hard 🤣

    27. Georgi Kovachev on

      hello Nel ,how is the new occam compared to the old am model ? i have the occam am m30 27,5 and i am 172 cm tall now i am thinking of change it for the one that you are riding . can you tell me the pros of the new occam with 29 wheels and if its worth to change mine for the new one 10X 🙂

    31. Yordan Krushkov on

      That may be some of the best trails in France, but from my motorcycle trail experience, the Pyrenees are better on the spanish side, and not so many restrictions as well.

    34. Shane Blyth on

      I’m determined to ride the French Pyrenees next year, I may even try and get to the Spanish Pyrenees this winter… providing there are no restrictions!

    36. Theo Brookes on

      Nice, but you really could do with getting the name of the place right! I've ridden most of the cols in that area on the road, and done a bit of mtbing on the other side of the Peyresourde near Luchon – the lower trails in the woods are definitely where the fun is.

    38. mrmferris1212 on

      I could do without the music . It's louder than his voice. So I am raising and lowering the volume through the whole video. .. guys I want to hear the bike and terrain and his voice when he talks …….thank you.

    39. Ray Neary on

      Wicked riding area, situated in the middle of the Lourdes, Andorra, Ainsa triangle and has literally thousands of kilometers of trail, enduro and DH with and without uplifting, I've been here ten years and still haven't finished my local trail bucket list 😝🤙 and we keep opening new ones 😁

    40. Jonathan C on

      Great video and location. Could not watch all the way due to yet more royalty free helium voice music. Sorry, I really enjoy your videos normally, but the music is just awful.

    42. Gavin Sullivan on

      I rode at Les Deux Alpes in 2019, (lucky I made it out of Aus back then) just the most epic riding. I am profoundly jealous! I really miss the alpes, Le fromage et le bière! The coffee was crap though! I was wearing a GMBN top that day and they asked me if I was from the channel in one of the cafes – obviously i blagged a free meal and a beer 😉 (joking…)

    44. Dries Kotzé on

      i’ve been enthusiastically watching GMBN videos for the last 4 years and this is Neil’s best video (format and ride) ever🤙🏼🤩 thanks guys!!
