When people think of Finale Ligure, they think of great trails, great gelato, and great pizza. What better way to spend a day than combining all three?!

    With some enforced downtime after an unfortunate crash early on during our trip to Finale, Isaac Mundy set Blake Samson, Rich Payne, and Anna Cipullo some fun (and fiendish) challenges to put their riding skills, Finale Outdoor Region knowledge, and tolerance for humiliation to the test.

    Who could drink the most espresso? Who would be brave enough to death-grip a rock garden? And which presenter could successfully sabotage the other two? There’s only one way to find out…

    1. How about as winter is coming a "snow theme challenge" in France or Austria or Scotland ? In scotland gotta eat a haggis, in France Andouillettes, in Austria Labskaus or Tiroler Gröstl
      great and funny vid Blake wuz robbed LoL

    2. Loved it! I would have happily watched an hour of this. Always good vibes when Anna rides. I was waiting for Blake to stab Rich's tire lol. Good luck on the recovery Isaac.

    3. The boys made this one, Rich and Blake were hilarious. It was a shame Anna’s performance of fun seemed so forced and fake when the others looked like they were genuinely having a good time. Great vid gmbn

    4. Yes another Challenge video 👊
      This format is fantastic guys and the Sabotage challenge is awesome 😂
      You all made an awesome effort, hat off to Anna to having 6 Expresso !!! 🤢
      Rich having his 1st and I'd imagine only Expresso 🤣🤣🤣
      Jack with the 'are these trousers' comment priceless as was Blake's reaction 🤣🤣🤣
      Awesome stuff #GMBN 🤘

    5. That was hilarious. How many attempted sabotages did you guys squeeze in? Did Rich get extra points for doing a wheelie whilst singing opera? Anna definitely had the best singing voice. Blake's face just lights up when you mention a train. But wow Isaac, I think you have got to send your video in to fails of the week with that crash,
      that was gnarly, glad you're up and walking. I don't think Rich blowing out the crocs and scraping his shin could top that crash. Speedy recovery with that gravel rash, that was a big hit.

    6. Just wondering why a few of you don’t wear gloves. There’s loads of trail gloves which can be worn in warmer weather. This would prevent a lot of damage to your hands in the way which Isaac has suffered from when he came off in this video. The first things you always put down are your hands.
      Just wondering what your thoughts and comments are regarding this.
      Love the video and the channel by the way. Always extremely entertaining and informative.
