(upbeat music)
- We've got all this luggage, take a look at all our bikes.
And look at the car we've got.
Is that all gonna fit in there?
- Look at the stereo.
- Wow that's, that costs more than the car.
How's this all gonna fit in there?
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back you beautiful people
and we have something super different for you.
- Yes, GMBN is in South America,
we've been traveling for about 28 hours, summat like that.
We're in Valparaíso in Chile
and this is part one of an epic trip,
Blake you're doing something gnarly.
- I am competing in an urban downhill race
in the city, called?
- The Cerro Abajo, it's sponsored by Red Bull.
- Yes, I am, bit nervous because I've never done one.
I've only done one actually, not as big as this.
- Yeah, I can't wait to watch it.
We're making loads of cool GMBN videos,
bike checks over on tech, loads of stuff going on.
Then we're going on to part two of the trip,
we're going to Patagonia for a bit of fly fishing
and a bit of bike packing,
it's gonna be the chill part of the trip.
- Yeah, I'm looking forward to the fly fishing part.
- And then we're flying back up to Santiago
and then onto Andes Pacifico.
- Yes, where you're going to be competing
in the Andes Pacifico enduro race,
which I'm going to be watching.
- Right, let's do this.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, so we're walking the streets,
figuring out where it is.
It's the Friday, tomorrow is Saturday
so that's when everything is getting built,
all the obstacles and everything else
that makes the whole course and they're gonna,
they're not taping it up.
- Walls, no tape, just brick walls.
- Just brick walls, yeah.
- Lots of dogs, lots of pigeons, it looks amazing.
- I'm gonna be dog hopping,
not bunny hopping, that's for sure.
- Up and left a bit.
- We're climbing through, I reckon we're on the right track.
Neil said there's a wall ride coming up,
Where is it Neil?
This is where one of the wall rides is gonna be,
I think the main wall ride, in this corner,
and you shoot off down there.
So Neil's on the maps, Neil what's coming up next?
- I don't know, there's a few more obstacles
they're building in, tomorrow I guess.
You're gonna have to practice them tomorrow.
- It's all kicking off, so they're assembling
that berm structure down there,
metal structure with wooden slats.
This looks like a drop into that section down there,
look at that, all welded together, metal.
No room for error, man.
You're flying down this hill, this mountainside,
you don't wanna go off the side of that,
there's no railings, you'd just land on the floor there.
Crazy.
Gotta watch out for those,
they're like banana skins on the road
Don't wanna hit that whilst you're bombing down the hill,
slip out on dog poop, not good is it?
Just bombing past loads of people stinking of dog poop.
(upbeat music)
So we've just done a little walk.
- It looks amazing, what a great place
to have a downhill race.
- Yes, all this graffiti, it's gonna be super cool.
- I can't wait to see your POV from the race,
it's gonna be nuts.
- It's gonna be, I'm nervous to be honest, I'm nervous.
- Should be.
(upbeat music)
- Got the bike setup for a pro bike,
this is how pro bike goes down.
You set up the bike just like this,
you've seen this before and then
I'm just gonna talk some spiel and some information that,
you guys really wanna know about my bike.
Let me set you up for a bit of a time lapse.
Right, done, finished the pro bike,
Mr. Grundy, master general behind the lens,
we shot that now,
it's time.
(upbeat music)
This is the first lift, first practice of the whole thing,
I'm with Remy Metailler, gonna get in the truck, let's go.
(upbeat music)
So we're not riding the full course,
we're gonna start a bit lower down.
Thanks very much.
Nice, that bit there, scary.
Wow, that's death.
- (mumbles)
- Yeah, it doesn't look too far.
- Yeah, you can see it from here.
- Yeah, and you can parkour.
Oh you've got so much speed,
you don't want to go too fast though, eh?
What did you think of that?
- It's pretty good, always a bit challenging at first.
You don't want to come short,
or you don't want to come long.
- Yeah on that Grannies house you do not want to come short.
- I don't want you to get lost.
- We won't get lost.
- You know it?
- Yeah, thanks.
(upbeat music)
Last practice, some cool manuals down the road
with the boys, now we're heading back to the hotel,
we've got a meeting later on so, gonna chill out,
get out of this hot clothing and then tomorrow
with four runs of practice under my belt.
Cool!
(upbeat music)
(applause)
(upbeat music)
Right, it's race day, we've got a little bit of practice
and then we're heading back up to the top to race
so I'm gonna get padded up, get ready, get my bike,
put my number board on my bike and get to the finish line
where we're gonna get picked up.
I got goosebumps.
(upbeat music)
- (speaks in foreign language)
- Yes
- [Blake] I can hear my heart in my helmet.
(crowd cheering)
(dogs barking)
(crowd cheering)
Sick!
- (mumbles)
- Oh man, so done, qualifying ready, wait for times.
I'm like, just so hot now,
looking forward to seeing what the times are like.
Oh man, the race is over, survived, I came last, yes!
25th. So I'm super stoked with that,
but the day is not over yet,
we still gotta go and do the party,
so I'm gonna go have a shower.
(dance music)

for an epic adventure, you do not want to miss this one.
