this series is just sensational and Ben is honestly golden
probably the best presenter at the bike channels
Top comment.
Yea agree, came here to say the same thing. Thanks Ben @ Pinkbike. Learned so much on a topic I thought I was ok-ish at, lol.

Give Ben Cathro a raise! Seriously, he's becoming one of my favorite CZcamsrs. Thanks PB for making this happen. Really like the overlays showing how much faster the fast lines are.
He already got one by being hired by Pinkbike, who is corporately owned. Dude used to make his own content on his own channel and was supported by the people on patreon. Guy has made huge leaps
A bot used your comment as a reply to my comment, didn’t know they did that.
Are you a robot
Every time I ride a trail: "What did Cathro say again?"
Brilliant stuff!
I started putting in a lot of time and attention to line choice after watching Cathro's world cup videos. Has made a massive difference in my riding. Helpful to see him bring this down a level to everyday riders and how to think things through.
Same!
This is THE BEST how to mtb series on CZcams. Hands down. All of these videos are so well explained and entertaining. Sorry Blake.
As someone who learned all this myself over the years, it's really cool to see it put to words and see what I've done right and done wrong. Some things that are so unconscious and have never even crossed my mind as a make or break skill for line choice, especially the eyes looking ahead and avoiding fixation. Thanks PB and Ben!
Exactly! A lot of his content is very relatable and even more of them cleared out grey areas for someone who's also a youtube rider! 🤣
This is great, this series is very accurate and in depth yet enjoyable and educational
"STRAVA!" - that killed me
Coincidentally, “Ben Cathro in the Fifth Dimension” is the name of my next prog-rock-surf band. Our latest single released 24 days in the past, and it’s titled “Start Cornering Before You Start to Corner”
I love this comment, thank you very much for posting it : )
Ben has an amazing skill in taking really complex information/processes and distilling them down to the essential simple elements. It really makes sense! Thanks Ben and crew for putting these How to Bike episodes together. Keep doing what you do. Love it!
I have tried to explain line choice to people before, but never could explain it well enough for them to understand. This was the best explanation I have ever seen. Well done!
Big thanks to Ben for his spot-on explanations and huge props to the editors for making this so easy to understand with all the visual examples!
Make the hard parts easier is such a good mantra for how to ride and learn trail.
At 58 and getting serious about going down a mountain on a bike I truly feel I've struck gold finding your series of videos. They are well laid out, well filmed, and each topic is explained in a manner thats easy to make the connection with. Fantastic job Ben, and all behind the camera...
I start to improove my english only for better understand all yours video..amazing channel..amazing people..thanks from Italy..
I appreciate the dip into the fifth dimension at 8:43
I've never clicked on anything so fast in my life.
Good line choice bub.
Not going to lie, this episode has made me want to get out on my bike :D
whoever makes the closed captions for pinkbike doesn't even sanity check what they write - "swearing in a boat" instead of 'swerving about' is a good one
I don’t want this series to end. So useful and bloody hilarious. Thanks pb and ben 🤙🏻
That Intro is Gold - Great Job Edit Team
Pinkbike uploads video 😃
It's a Ben Ctathro video 🤩🥳
It's Ben explaining line choice 😁🤯
And he's ghosting 😱😩
HIMSELF 😱🤯😱🤯😩
Please please keep these up! Top-Notch content from Ben as always. Subscribed to Pinkbike 100% because of this series.
If anyone else made this video, it would be super boring, but Ben just has a way of making it interesting, cohesive and funny all at once. Absolute belter mate!
Fantastic editing! All the pointers and add ons on the actual film make his concepts crystal clear to follow. Congrats to the editing team on this entire series!
Love it! Please produce more of it. I have watched the videos of this series several times. Cathro is the best.
This series is a gem, thanks a ton Been and PB!!!
Absolutely LOVE this series, its helped a ton!
Little dude's gonna be a shredding machine
Well put Ben. Thanks for all the tips! Going to try my best to apply these on my after work ride tonight!
Looking down the trail: "looks easy enough, I don't even know why we're talking about it..."
Looking up the trail: "Damn. That's gnarly."
These videos are the best with Ben , so informative and funny as too , keep them coming !
Once again you've made a topic that seems like it might be dry fun and informative!
I've learned soooo much from your content! Always wondered why I used to crash so often.
Love it! great work as always! Let's see baby Cathro on a balance bike hitting some hard lines.
Good ol’ valleycliffe. Always has some good gems
Awesome video series, very informative and in depth. But still enough banter to keep it light and enjoyable 👌
Best video yet! Ben explains this so well. Bringing skills to the people!
Just great demonstrations especially the corners!
Amazing content guys! Been riding for ever 15 years and I'm still learning stuff from this series.
This series is very accurate and in depth yet enjoyable and educational !
I can't get enough of this series. I will watch this over and over and reccomend it to my biker buddies🤙🏻
WOW. Fantastic video. Excellent instruction and the editing is mind-blowing. Thank you for this, guys.
An excellent tuition video that explains line choice with great clearly and reasoning- cheers.
Absolute useful. Really great. I have learned a lot! Thank you! Amazing the X-s on the screen, all the other signes what shows the lanes. Really amazing!
Always super stoked on these! So good.
Another top quality video Cathro 👍
Great work Ben ! Really like your way of explaining things, very well made videos and story. Keep on Line guy! Can't wait for next WC season. Cheers from Tuscany.
Awesome video and thank you! Just getting back to MTN bike with my 15 yrs old Frankenstein bike but it works!
Thanks mate! super high quality all round
Thanks for the video Ben and PB team. Consistent bangers
Fantastic video! The editing to show the time differences based on line choices, the ghost riders to compare the lines and the “X marks the spot” guidance were tremendous!
Great stuff Ben, I've been riding downhill trails for 18 years and I've learnt tons through watching these videos. Thanks for the help!!!!
Ian
Why have I never watch one of these before!? Bravo Ben👌🏼
Ben ist just in another dimension. Thank you so much
"Srava!" lol. I'm really enjoying season 2, thanks, Ben!
So helpful thanks Ben , allways a great watch and I'm learning each video even though im 50 and been riding years 🤣🤣
This "How to bike" series is absolutely the best on YT. So many new information in every vid, every second. Brilliant! I am really loking forward to new vids, mostly about cornering.
I've been waiting so long for this
Best series of basic MTB skills on the internet! So informative and applicable
Thank you for this excellent video Ben! It seems like I learned a thing or two, and discovered I'm in the phase of just spotting places and letting the bike do the job between these very places... When the trail is kind enough to let me do it. When it's above my pay grade, that's another story.
Very informative and fun to listen. Your my favorite!
-Hey! Oh! Can't do that!
-STRAVA!
Had me dying xDDD Please give us more Ben, he's an awesome teacher an and overall great bloke to watch!
Exceptionally explained, as every single video in the series. THANK YOU!
Outstanding video boys 👌
Very enjoyable and incredibly well thought out. Even the intro is brilliant 👏
Follow the shape of the track and the bike will deal with it that's the best thing I've heard at all my years of riding. That's what I try to tell people but I've never said it that way.
Superb teaching and information. Nice one Ben 👍🏻
I love it! Congratulations and thank you guys!!
Honestly, this series is the best mtb content on the internet right now.
Another great video, Ben. Well done.
this is the best series ever, Ben has the hability to be funny and educational at the same tame, keep it up Ben the world needs people like you !!
Great job on the videos! This is by far the most informative I've ever seen! Did all 7 in one go.
Whatever you did in Ep.7 on your audio worked perfect! Did you change mics?
Looking forward to more videos. Liked, subscribed and shared your series to my buddies!
Please do suspension set up. Would love to hear your version.
Great content Ben! Good line choice is still something I struggle with, knowing when to best brake and turn on gnarly terrain eludes me...but I am getting better and your content I think will help me get better still, as long as I can effectively put the theory into practice on the trail.
Love this in-depth stuff, so good 👍
Just so spot on! Every time he rides the "what not to do" line my soul smiles.... "Strava!"
I’d check out the book “The Sports Gene” as there are some interesting studies validating the notion of professionals having greater computing power in terms of information efficiency; particularly as it relates to visual acuity.
Great series.
Great work bro, awesome analysis and break down, cheers
I can't ride my bike at the moment because i crashed, can't wait to practice the things you teach us here!
Great tips Ben and well explained!!!
Excellent content! I greatly enjoyed this.
amazing time saver, really well though details that makes me win so much time figuring out whats wrong or right, love it perfectly done, graphics are nice, you make your point easy to get and understand, very well illustrated, thank you for the work and best regards from France :)
Cathro for prime minister!!! Another great video and breakdown of how to do things.. best series out there by far!! Well done bro 👍
Really great video. Makes me feel good that What I’m doing is correct plus I picked up some good tips! Keep being awesome and congrats on the baby. Being a dad is the best! My dude is 5 and riding a Mtb now! 😊
Thanks coach Ben!
great video.There was an article on Steve Peat years ago and it showed his brain had been trained to take in more peripheral vision at speed than an average person.
He’s an excellent teacher
Perfect timing! I am about to practice new lines on our local natural trail. Thanks a lot PB and Ben. Mabuhay from the Philippines!
"Safe can still be sick" Love it... so true.
Love these. Thanks PB Thanks Ben
Another great video and great tips 👌🤘🏾
another sick vid🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant video as always Ben! A good POV comparison about looking ahead would have been to point a gopro at your feet ride a section and then repeat the section with a proper angle! Keep the videos coming!
Love the Ghosting to show differences. Can’t wait for next vid. Guessing jumping going to be last ish?
Amazing content!
That last line where you hop the back wheel over the rock was brilliant. Would have never thought of that 👍 I’d probably be too scared to try that anyways
Ben, you are simply the best coach to show us how to ride. I''ve been riding MTB since I was 18 and now at 49 I'm relearning or even unlearning and in a small way improving. So thank you very much for a brilliant series which is easy to understand , informative and amusing. 🙏🏻
Best mtb coach on Yt..... Well done Ben. 🏴
Great editing!
gotta love a DHaRCO rider. DHaRCO stuff is sick.
