Ultimate Freeride Heaven | GMBN Rides The Nines

It’s been a few years since Blake last rode at The Nines - a unique freeride event featuring some of the best freeride and slopestyle riders in the world like Sam Pilgrim, the Ruso brothers, Bienvenido Aguado, Szymon Godziek, Caroline Buchanan and many more. In that time, he’s had children, taken part in some crazy challenges, and built some “interesting“ contraptions. All of this meant that when he got the call to ride Swatch Nines this year, he was a little unsure of how it would go. Could an old dog do its old tricks? There was only one way to find out!
