- Alright, today I'm gonna challenge myself and
I'm gonna use these pair of dice to
determine the trick and all of these bikes.
(upbeat electronic music)
Okay, so I've got six bikes to choose from.
So if I roll a one or a two or a three,
it determines on what bike I'm gonna be choosing.
So the bikes that I'm gonna be riding,
potentially, come with me.
I'm gonna start off with my Canyon Stitched 720.
This is my slopestyle bike designed for all tricks.
Moving on to my Scott Genius 700 Tuned.
This bike is an Enduro bike suspension.
Right, and this one is Doddy's Nukeproof Digger.
This is a cross bike, or a gravel bike,
and I've never ridden one,
but he's saying it's pretty big
for himself and he's a big man.
Alright and this is Neil's e-Bike.
I've never ridden an e-Bike before and
this is the high bike Enduro 8.0.
It has 180 mill of travel.
So that's gonna be exciting to try
and ride and do something.
I don't know what tricks there are.
And then this one, you've probably seen her before,
but this is my Scott Gambler 720 downhill bike.
I rode this one at DarkFEST so that one,
you can throw anything at that and it'll take it.
Then you've got this one, Sumo Sam's Fat-Bike.
This is the Canyon Dude, I do love this bike.
Full carbon fat bike but we're gonna see
what it's like to do some tricks on.
I do know I can flip that thing,
but we've got one more thing.
Oh, no.
No, no.
Look at this piece of rubbish.
This is Si Richardson's one.
You probably don't watch GCN.
Obviously because you watch GMBN,
but if you haven't seen it, take a look at this.
(dramatic music) (yelling)
- [Video Narrator] Si's efforts means he
lives up to the nickname, The Ringmaster.
- Yep, they did a challenge and
this was his bike of choice for those challenges.
Basically, I don't wanna roll the dice
and end up riding this piece of junk
because I don't want to because
the rear brake doesn't even work.
But let's talk about the rules of this game.
Okay, now the rules of the game.
If you're not very familiar with this concept,
skateboarders and BMXers play this.
They play skate dice, bike dice,
and today we're playing bike dice, obviously.
I have a pair of dice.
One dice represents the trick and
one dice represents the bike.
So depending on what dice you roll
and this ends on basically number four that
could be a no hander, for example.
And then you roll this dice and it ends on number two
and number two could represent the e-bike.
So that means you've gotta do a no hander on the e-bike.
Simple, throw the dice in the box
and whatever numbers it rolls on, so number two.
I've gotta choose a bike depending on what it is,
and number seven, I do the trick on that specific bike.
So I could be ending up doing some crazy trick on
some other bike that I don't particularly want to ride.
(people saying "ew")
Let's get started.
Let's hope we don't get a really bad bike first throw.
So, the first throw, white is trick, black is bike.
So, we've got four, four is the bike and
number four is the slope style bike and the trick,
it's a really hard trick to start off this whole thing.
It's the nothing.
Basically, what the nothing is,
I do a no footer and a no hander
and let my bike hover in the air.
Brilliant, alright, let's go.
Oh, no.
Alright, I'm gonna call the nothing on this step up here.
So let's have a go.
(upbeat electronic music)
Alright, that was a bit lame.
I'll try and get a bigger one for you.
(upbeat electronic music)
That's the nothing, basically you're just taking
your body away from your bike,
you're doing a huge starfish in the air.
And that is the first one.
Now what else has these dice got in for me?
Let's have another throw.
I don't want the gravel bike.
The others, I don't want the e-bike.
Anyway, let's go.
White is trick, black is bike.
Oh wow, okay, so six is the Enduro bike
and seven is the one foot X.
So Enduro bike, that is the Scott.
Will these cables, does it, it does do the X-up!
Right, next challenge.
(upbeat electronic music)
Alright, that was fun, that was a super old school trick.
And yet again, says what it says on the tin.
X-up, take your foot up.
That's the Enduro bike done.
What's the next one?
We could end up doing another
trick on one of those two bikes.
White is trick, black is bike.
Oh wow, black is the downhill bike.
Number one is the tuck no hander.
So downhill bike, tuck no hander.
Okay, okay.
Do you know what the hardest thing is?
It's going from a super hard, rigid kind of suspension bike
to a super soft bike on the Scott
where I'm glad there was lock out, 'cause I locked it out.
This one is sill set up for DarkFEST, which is super stiff.
And DarkFEST is just some humongous jumps.
Tuck no hander, downhill bike.
Yeah, let's do this!
(upbeat electronic music)
Tuck no hander on downhill bike.
That one's done!
We're getting through this quite good!
I'm getting quite lucky.
I don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch though.
Let's move on again.
I don't wanna say it.
It's the slopestyle bike and then
number two, it's the barspin.
Let's do it.
Alright, the barspin, if you don't know what
it is, I'm gonna run it through.
That is the barspin.
Hopefully I catch it, so that is the barspin.
(upbeat electronic music)
Alright, so I've done two tricks.
You would think it's all planned but it's not.
I'm using the dice as you've seen.
What brings the next bike?
(gasps)
So it's three, three is a no foot can.
I don't think I can do it, it's the gravel bike.
I don't think I can no foot can that bike, man.
Though, I can't do it on that step up.
I can't.
Right, first off, I'm gonna lower the saddle.
Well this is Doddy's personal bike.
So if it breaks, it's his fault.
And look at this, he's got his flipping ninja tool here.
Total pick ninja tool, dude.
Which it's got no tool in it, why, Doddy?
Come on.
Alright, for a start, look at this.
I can like lean on this bike 'cause it's so tall.
That's Doddy's crutch height.
His crutch is like there on me, he's so tall.
So we're slamming that thing.
All the way down.
Not that it's gonna make much difference,
'cause it's an extra large frame.
Do you know what?
I don't know if I can do it on that step up.
We might have to go to a different jump that's not
super aggressive for this particular geometry bike.
Let's go down there.
Wow, this feels horrible.
So I've moved away from the big step-up
'cause obviously I'm a bit scared
and I don't ride road bikes on dirt.
So I've come to a smaller jump.
So the small table top.
And whilst riding down here, I've noticed
this on the drops, my body's too close to the top tube.
So I wouldn't be abl to get my legs over.
So I tried it on the hoods which gives me a little bit
more distance for my legs to come through.
But I'm gonna have to be doing super crazy lunges
'cause I've gotta get my legs over 'cross this top tube.
But I'm just gonna take it.
If my foot comes over the top tube, that is a no foot can.
And I'm scared, I don't even know if I can do it yet.
Alright, I'm gonna hit it a few times
'cause I've actually never got air on a road bike,
let alone a Cyclocross slash gravel bike.
I'm gonna do it again, build up my confidence.
'Cause I'm gonna need it.
Wow, you know what?
I'm gonna do it to the top.
I'm gonna use it as a fly out.
Do you know what I mean?
So I'm gonna just jump up and land on top.
So I can get my legs off just for you
and for me actually.
Alright, let's have a go.
Alright, it's a bit silly, the dice did beat me on this one.
But I didn't particularly wanna break the bike
and I got a slow puncture in.
It's just going wrong so I'm not gonna, not gonna defeat me.
I'm gonna clear the jump and then I'll do
like a one footer, maybe a one foot, one hand.
Let's mix it up, I'll do a trick on this bike.
'Cause I wanna try it.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Haha, it's like Cyclocross!
You don't need to ride your bike.
Oh man.
Sorry Doddy.
Well I didn't break your bike, that's a good thing.
But I did give you a puncture and I'm sorry for that.
And I'm sorry dice, 'cause I couldn't actually
execute the no foot can, which is a shame.
But this bike is super big for me.
I did do a trick, do the one hander.
The one footer, sorry.
On the drops, just for you Mr. Ashton.
Alright, let's move on from that sadness.
Alright, we haven't done e-bike,
we haven't done the fat bike, and I don't even
wanna mention that thing behind me.
Don't look even look at it, this way.
Alright, dice.
Let's do it.
Well it's number six, which is the Enduro bike
and then number five, which is the suicide.
But we don't wanna do the Enduro bike again, do we?
Do you wanna see a suicide on that?
No?
Alright, let's re-throw that.
Or should we leave the suicide
and throw the bike dice again?
Yes, that's a good idea.
So number five, suicide.
Bike dice, e-bike, fat bike, e-bike, fat bike, let's go.
Number two, it's the fat bike.
Number two, number five.
Fat bike, suicide.
Suicide is just basically a trick
that you throw your arms behind you in the air
and then grab your bike and land.
That's the trick and the aim of the trick.
And we're gonna do it on this thing, the Canyon.
Dude, sweet.
Dude.
(upbeat electronic music)
Tell you what, fat bikes never cease to amuse me.
I love 'em.
Let's park you back up, dude, sweet.
Alright, fat bike done.
Suicide, tick.
Next, dice.
Black is bike.
Oh wow, superman.
What bike is the superman gonna be on?
E-bike, superman on the e-bike.
I haven't even ridden an e-bike.
Let's have a go, then.
Definitely wanna slam that back down there.
180 mill of travel.
Superman basically, do what it says on the tin.
Superman in the air.
I'm gonna do it on the step-up again.
How do you turn it on?
Oh my, wow.
You can get endless laps on this thing.
Oh, alright.
I do wanna point out, I have never tricked or jumped an
e-bike so this is a first try Friday for me on an e-bike.
Does that mean I have to introduce myself?
Hi, my name is Blake Samson.
This is my first try Friday, superman, e-bike, on that.
Ugh.
(upbeat electronic music)
Wow.
Alright, e-bikes, kinda changed
my perspective on these things.
Pretty crazy.
Did fine there.
It is heavy but super stable in the air, wow, impressed.
Maybe I have to spend a bit more time on that.
Let me know in the comments down below.
E-bike Blake or nah, stick to the normal bike?
Alright, let's move on.
We haven't ridden one of the bikes.
Do I want to?
Ah, come this way, I don't wanna ride that thing.
It's horrible, alright?
It is horrible.
Please don't be that bike.
It is, look, it is that bike.
Alright, so it's that bike, nothing.
What I did on the slopestyle bike,
out like a big starfish in the air, on that thing, on that.
Please no.
I don't even, I can't.
No.
Aw man.
The back brake doesn't even work!
I'm gonna throw that trick again.
I'm gonna jump the bike,
but I'm not gonna do that trick man, no!
Alright, throwing it away.
Oh I don't wanna do that, but I will ride it.
So that's a bonus.
Tuck no hander.
Tuck no hander on that thing.
Well I'm gonna give it a go, I'm gonna ride the jump
and see what that thing is like in the jump.
I don't want it to fold under me
'cause that's the worst thing.
There's no, ah, let's go get it.
Ugh no.
No.
It's got a bell, it's got reflectors.
It's got a carrier so you can carry your friend on it
or carry your shopping from the market.
And look at those peddles.
It's got disc brakes but they're not hydraulic,
they're cable, cable discs.
And the rear one is seized so that doesn't even work.
So I've only got one brake.
It's two by, not even one by.
It's got no suspension, look at that.
The chain's bound stiff.
Fuck me, I reckon.
The grips, they move.
Alright, enough complaining, let's do it.
Let's see if I can actually ride this thing.
First let's put that back on.
Let's see if we can actually ride this thing first.
Oh my gosh, brakes don't work.
(upbeat electronic music)
Oh man, wow.
(bell ringing)
This rides faster.
(upbeat electronic music)
(bell ringing)
Look at that!
Look, I've got a puncture on that.
This is rubbish.
Rubbish bike, but I actually did the tuck no hander.
Yeah, it was alright.
Scary 'cause the stem is super long and I had nowhere
for my thighs to actually grip into it.
So I did it.
Poor excuse.
Wow, look at that.
To end the video, flip.
But I guess you wanted to see me
flip that piece of rubbish though.
It actually would have been a bit more exciting to watch.
Watch me be super scared.
But there you go, bike dice
with a little bit of a difference with a number of bikes
and number of tricks on either one.
I reckon there should be a volume two.
Let me know in the comments down below
if there should be a volume two.
'Cause I think I wanna do it, maybe just one bike
with another rider and then the dice
just to show off all the tricks.
That would be quite cool.
Maybe on some dirt jumps or maybe get Neil involved, huh?
