The Secret To Pro Level Speed Isn't What You Think…
Going faster starts before you drop into the trail. In "The Secret To Pro Level Speed Isn't What You Think…", Rich Payne draws on insights from Gee Atherton to make confidence something riders can work on, rather than something they either have or don't.
The advice is deliberately incremental: inspect and repeat a line, use action-camera footage to help visualize it, set realistic goals and build toward bigger features. Protective gear gets a place in that mental toolkit, too. It's a coaching counterpoint to the week's quick bursts of airborne ambition.
GMBN posted fifteen uploads, and Thursday's "SEND Of The Day" attracted the largest audience among the new releases, approaching 94,000 views. It also carries the most daily momentum on the channel, with two other installments of the same series filling the next spots. The sends are doing much of the immediate work.
Meanwhile, "The Trend The Bike Industry Needs To Fix! | The Global Mountain Bike Show Ep.24" turns toward the people keeping those bikes running. James, Owen and Adam discuss what they describe as a growing shortage of qualified mechanics and the difficulty of maintaining modern bikes. Their Roc d'Azur tech roundup includes Decathlon's aero cross-country concept and an e-bike gearbox, before Ferg joins for Red Bull Rampage action and weather drama.
The subscriber count held steady, while daily viewing is somewhat below its usual pace. Enduro KeX had a particularly busy week in the wider off-road group; GMBN's own busiest corner remains those bite-size sends.
