In this week’s GMBN Dirt Shed Show, Blake Samson is joined by Rich Payne, to discuss whether mountain bikes have peaked in design? Or will we continue to see more innovation in MTB? In the rest of the show, we look at the Red Bull Rampage results, plus the usual favourites including this week’s FAILS Of The Week, some super nice MTB’s locked away in the Bike Vault and much more!

If I win this bike I invite you lad's to my place (South Tyrol Dolomites) and we're gonna shred the dirt outta this rig!! 🎉😂❤
The only thing that needs changing about modern bikes is the bloody price!
#captioncontest use the teeth to cut the zip tie sag indicator off the fork stantion
Bike categories will shift to more travel -again.
#captioncontest Blake Builds – The 'don't mix up wood glue and toothpaste' edition!
#captioncontest How it feels to chew 5 Gum!
Bikes are always changing and always improving, interesting views though. Love the vids.
My little brother after licking some of the candy sauce off my chain (it was wet lube) #captioncontest
#captioncontest "Instagram launched their new wedgie photo filter"
Prices is what I would change .
I don't think mountain bikes have peaked, but they are on a level where it doesn't matter which amount of money you spend, you'll find a great bike 🙂
When you accidentally knock that dropper lever #CAPTIONCONTEST
I think the beauty of design is you will see it filter down into the cheaper bikes as time goes on making it so budget restricted riders will be able to do more on cheaper bikes.
#CAPTIONCONTEST Blake when he slips a pedals and shines himself casing the 90 foot jump at darkfest
CAPTION CONTEST… When you hang over the rear too far and your sucked in by the wheel….
I was going to submit the design of the bike but when I saw the terms and it said you have to cover the cost of the shipment and other stuff I was sad and I didn’t submit it I guess I am rocking the cheap hard tail 😢
Y'all the main reason I love watching all your videos lol
#Captioncontest "Anymore Pickle Juice, Please?"
have bikes peaked? No! They're about to with the Pinion motor gearbox and SRAM/Brose eMTB Transmision offerings coming down the Pike!
when you realize you forget to tighten the stem bolts as your buddy is launching off a double. #captioncontest
Caption contest.
The moment you land on the saddle after missing the pedals on a footer…
I added a bash guard because I ride rocky terrain and it was painful to hit the rocks with the chainring. However, it seems that hitting rocks with the hard plastic bash guard brakes the bike and sends you OTB whereas the chain on the chainring slides over the rock. How bad is a rock hit on the chainring? Should bash guards be made of hard, shiny metal?
When that Transition popped up in bike vault I thought "I've seen that locally" then they affirmed it was from my town Haha pretty cool
Blake realises that pairing the Converse Chucky T's with those extra long pedal pins may be problematic. #Captioncontest
Did you see the tortoise in the picture of the second bike 🐢
“Yeah I’d really like to do the megavalanche with the budget bike” #CAPTIONCONTEST
#captioncontest When you're riding your bike and your aliexpress saddle suddenly snaps.
Blake after realising he can enter the orbea competition as well
I really hope i win, i cracked my frame and my parents wont buy me a new one, and nobody will hire me because im 14 (ive applied to many places)
When a wasp gets in your shorts mid jump. #captioncontest
#captioncontest when you hitted that jump, but in the same time you spot running bear in your direction
Orbea Staff: “Shove the cables through the headset and offer some new colors.” I’m so glad that I got my recent year Rallon before this nonsense happened.
In which video do you post who the winner is?
