(upbeat music) - We've all got
bad habits in life and on bikes.
So us guys at GMBN have picked out
a few of these bad habits that we see quite often.
So, which one of these is you?
Stinky pads, stinky kit.
Oh wow, look at those pads, ugh.
You're not gonna be putting them on.
Oh no, yes, he's putting them on.
No one likes smelly kits,
especially when it comes to confined spaces.
(all groaning)
Look at that.
Told you, told you.
Just remember to regularly wash your gear.
Keep it fresh and clean for the next ride.
You don't want this to be happening to you.
Smelly bloke.
(heavy rock music)
Crunching gears.
(metal clinking)
No, stop it, oh.
Crunching those gears is just not acceptable.
Stop it.
It's the sound of the bike crying.
Stop crunching those gears.
You could slap a chain, come on.
Two finger braking. (light piano music)
Braking, we all need to brake,
'cause sometimes we're shredding the trail too hard,
but using two fingers or more,
is a bad habit.
One finger can do it all.
Make sure you have more fingers on your bar
so you can control that bike, break that bad habit.
Oh yeah, that's better.
Not being prepared.
Oh man, my levers.
They're not in line.
Got my backpack.
I'm prepared, don't you worry, dude.
(laughing)
Yeah, very prepared.
But are you?
You got a T25 I could borrow?
'Cause I kind of misplaced mine.
Oh sweet, thanks.
You're a life saver, dude.
(crashing noises)
Dreaded puncture.
Well, let's get in here.
We all know that guy that brings a bag,
but never brings tools or spares.
You haven't got a, what is it, what is it, what is it?
You haven't got a six mil I could borrow, have you?
Oh wait. Oh sweet.
You're that guy.
It's fine to borrow an odd tool, tube, or pump.
But not all the time on every ride.
Inner tube, do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do.
Have you got an inner tube I can like, have, please?
'Cause I kinda --
Oh, thanks man.
That's in.
Can I borrow your pump?
Whoa.
Cheers.
Oh man.
Thank you so much for this.
Right.
Ah yeah.
Can I borrow that six mil again?
Thanks.
Oh no, got another punch, hang on.
I brought my backpack, so I'm prepared.
I haven't really got a pump.
Thanks, oh, any cheap old tool.
Oh gosh.
Alright.
I get the point.
Hang on, guys.
I think I've got a puncture again.
Your mates have disappeared.
They're in front of you.
You get a puncture.
And look.
You got an inner tube?
You have no spares.
Who are you gonna ask?
Hey, you got a six mil inner tube pump?
Six mil, no?
Anyone else?
No?
Hello.
Help.
Start pushing that bike down the hill.
(upbeat electronic music) Dropping litter.
Looking good, looking good, bloke.
You're burning a lot of energy riding that fast.
Oh cool skid, nice.
Yeah.
Snack.
We all love munching on our favorite snack
out on the trail, they taste so good.
But they do come with a wrapper.
(gasping)
No, littering.
It's not acceptable, man.
Come on, you brought it in.
You can take it home.
And what's with all these inner tubes hanging in trees?
Sitting down, pedal down.
(upbeat music)
Wrong in every single way.
Sat down, foot down.
This is unsafe.
It's a recipe for disaster, like a bucking bronco.
It's a beginner bad habit,
so it's easy to kill it on the head.
Break the habit of sitting down with foot down.
Burn it with fire.
It's not good.
So you wanna get into that attack position.
Level footed, elbows bent, knees bent, looking ahead.
Over-braking in turns.
Corners are not the place to be braking.
It has crash written all over it.
Not saying don't break.
Feathering the break within the turn is fine.
If you feel like you're coming into a corner too fast,
make sure you do the braking before the turn,
and then modulate your braking through the corner,
but not hitting the brakes too hard.
(orchestral music) Stopping in the middle
of the trail.
Cool, leaving that whip out there, bloke.
Nice.
Oh wait.
Why are you stopping?
That was a bit loose there.
Why in the middle of the trail, dude?
It's not clever and it's not safe.
You don't even know who's gonna be behind you
when you're stopping in the middle of the trail.
Hey, can you hear me?
Move.
Get out of the way.
Oh, someone's coming.
- Move it or lose it.
- Oh my --
Dude, was that --
That's Brian.
Brian.
Pressure washing your bike.
Right, everyone loves a clean bike.
Especially after a dirty ride.
You wanna get that bike clean as fast as possible,
'cause it's cold and muddy out.
But when it comes to pressure washing your bike clean,
it's pretty satisfying, it gets rid of the dirt,
but also gets rid of all of those greasy bits
that need to be greased up.
Like your bearings or your bushings.
It's not good.
Your bike's not gonna last as long.
If you're going to use a pressure washer,
then do it like this.
Ah, yes, a few naughty,
dirty habits for you guys to break out there.
