- The 2022 World Cup DH race season gets underway in Lourdes for the Pinkbike Racing team. Aimi Kenyon is a first year junior with a lot of raw potential, but the gap between national races she’s been doing and the World Cup level is massive, so she has to figure it out fast. She has to jump.

That intro is the best 90 second description of World Cup DH racing ever spoken.
🙏
Choose DH
Truth!!! Couldn't agree more!!
Nice🤟🤟🤟🤜🤛
Agree. Brilliantly put together.
I remember when I was 9 and I was looking up to Aimi thinking that I want to be where she is when I am her age. Now at 13 I am looking up to her thinking if she can do this I can do it aswell. It is amazing to see Aimi racing World Cups.
If you want to do something enough, you will do it.
Can't wait to see you at a world cup too. You can do it.
❤️❤️
My unconditional love for Cathro aside, the video team knocked this out of the park. A beautiful story, beautifully told. Thanks for bringing us along.
1. Best intro to a Downhill video ever!
2. Fantastic effort from all involved.
3. Aimi you're a very talented young lady and I predict a Bright future for you. I met your dad when he was out repairing one of the trails near Inverness 😉and I bet he's bursting with pride. You're already inspiring my 7yr old daughter!. All the best.
Will be following 👍, give it heaps and enjoy.
Cathro's ride series got me going again. Great to see him coaching up the younger racers!
Fort William this year the crowd went crazy for Ben I’ve been a few years now and that was right up there with the loudest I’ve ever heard a crowd it hurt. Congrats Ben hats off to everything you’ve achieved
Love the story and the whole thing. Cathro and Henry are both awesome but going through Aimi's first ever DH and watching the process, coaching and overall support, great job to all involved. Can wait to see the rest of the episodes as the year progresses.
Honestly, taking someone who barely jumps to *Lourdes* seemed too much. But 9th?? Holy crap! (And Ben's intro is *the best*.)
I couldn't believe that. Although I guess I don't know how many people are in that division. It must be junior division right? Either way an amazing result
Rad to see this humble girl just going at it! She should be god damn proud of herself! i would beat my ass if i just tried to walk in that track! Great job all you guys!
Downhill should pay you money for the first minute. Best sale ever.
Ben, you're the perfect person to do this series. You're relationship with Aimi, will be great for her. Great first episode! And I almost forgot. Having Henry there for a new team is a great benefit.
What an epic first episode, I liked how it was focused on Aimi. Here professionalism is astonishing for such a young rider. What a nice way to document a young riders first World Cup, especially cool to see first hand what it’s like for a young women get into the sport, I hope this encourages more girls to see Downhill as sport worth trying. So much need for more competitive women in DH.
16:59 that‘s the most beautiful flight i ve ever seen. It‘s like a Boeing 787 in final approach. Great girl
Such a mature head on Aimi, but yet all the joy of a teenager doing what she enjoys most. It gives me hope.
This is honestly the greatest biking video series ever made! Has a very formula one survive the drive vibe which is super fun and dramatic and exciting. I would love to see an entire series like this covering more teams.
What an incredible young woman. Best of luck for the rest of the season
Excellent production quality and it'll be great to see Aimi's progress
First World Cup race and bagging 9th place? Now that is amazing.
Her result in fort william was even more impressive, don't wanna spoil it if you wanna look it up ypurself or smth tho
This is amazing. Cathro’s intro alone, what a masterpiece. Looking forward to next episode!
One of the best downhill videos I seen.
Tears of joy watching that. Brill team dudes.
That's the beauty of media company owning a racing team. Quality of content is just remarkable.
Is err, someone cutting onions somewhere?
Seriously great film, props to Max for constructing a great narrative 💪🏻
Amy is a hero !
You can see how much Ben cares what a dude man.
Very much looking forward to the rest of this series !!
Well done Aimi! Look forward to seeing your future races.
Totally absorbing, can't believe that was 20mins long! Beautifully put together by Max as always. Fort Bill episode is going to be an emotional roller coaster!!
Amazing episode. I was riveted, and as a father of a daughter close to Aimi's age, I was also nervous and terrified for her. Bravo!
SUPERB Vid !! Ben, you are a super coach, (and rider, of course) Aimi, WHAT a tuff young lass you are, always love and support a motox/mtb girl, just brilliant.
Damn this series is going to be epic! Aimi we're rooting for you and looking forward to your rise in the furure. Best of luck to the team.
Bravo! What a great first video in the series. Watching Aimi’s journey at her first World Cup was so inspiring and genuine. Keep up the great work!
some of the best mtb content i've seen yet. Cathro and this whole project is gold.
daaaang...this series is reaaally good...need more of this!!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Brilliant from Cathro, Max and co again. This is going to be great. I did not expect to be teary watching it. Guess that's what happens when you have kids of your own.
Top 10 first world cup!! Damm great job girl!! We are all proud of you!!
This puts so much humanity between all the gear stuff, competition and the too serious racers out there!!!
This has the potential to be the best ever video series to come out of Pinkbike.
Brilliant and so happy for Aimi she seems to have a good attitude for racing
What an amazing story and talent Aimi is! Good job!
I've been following Ben since his privateer days. And now this. Sweet. Family had grown bigger. I'm sure this would be another epic, fun, down to earth, honest mtb journey. Thank you PB.
Awesome job being the support and leader @bencathro definitely the parent in you is coming out. Sick job!!
The excited noises at 14:30 are so funny! Such pure stoke
Ben, u are just the best, what a joy to watch
What a great video! Congrats to Amy for a top 10 in her first WC, nicely done! Congrats to you as well coach Ben.
I had a blast working on this! Great work by all involved.
This is pure gold! Love it already. Kudos for Cathro, all team members and Pinkbike 👏👍👌💪
Cathro's the right person for this adventure; not OTT narrative but genuine mtbing insider detail. Like everyone else - can't wait for more of it! Oh, and yeah, what a start for the young lass from Scotland! Tumeke (Māori for awesome...I think/hope!)
Wow, I'm hooked. Exceptionally great work on this episode PB Team!
What a video. The storytelling in this was perfect. I can’t wait for the next one. Great work Pinkbike!
This episode gave ALL the feels.
My favorite part of the whole video was seeing Amy’s progression. She did awesome! How could Cathro not shed a tear?! Well done Amy!!
A great video that captures the allure of downhill racing. A sport I was fortunate to participate in for a number of years and now happy to watch from the sidelines (although I do still enjoy the occasional bike park session).
Considering the junior coverage is so minimal, it's really awesome to see the race from Aimi's perspective.
Well done!
Yeah we really need to see the juniors race feed as well, would be great. Not sure but hopefully Discovery will enhance and not destroy the racing, the lure of money makes people behave shite sometimes.
That said what an inspiring story told well, very relatable, now i just gotta learn to hit that little jump, and get in me head the big jump, just needs a bit more speed, and a bit of butt clenching
That is such a well put together video. Great edit, fantastic story and some wonderful characters. I hadn't planned to watch it all but I was riveted.
Drive to survive comes to MTB, great stuff.
Go Aimi! We are rooting for yiu here in the states!!!
Such an amazing video! Wishing you all a great season.
Cool to see Henry out there living the dream after GMBN.
Awesome video! Can’t wait for the rest of the season!
This series just begun and I already love it!
7:00 that was so awesome to see her fly! Well done!
Another cracking video 🤘🏾 best of luck to you all
Awesome video. And fantastic effort, Aimi
That intro to what DH Mountain Biking is summed it up perfectly.

After watching this I can not log out with writing a comment! Ben Cathro you are an absolute awesome Mt Bike personality. Good luck to Aimi, superb little story.
Amazing video! It's like Pinkbike's very own version of The A Team! Good Luck To All! I'll be rooting for ye's, especially Aimi!
These series are amazing. Can't wait to watch all of these. Your effort is appreciated.
I don't always do jumps. But when I do, I do it at a world cup race. ;)
This was excellent good luck to the whole team. Great job Aimi on your first World Cup!
Ben truly is an ambassador for the sport. The knowledge, passion and excitement are second to none.
Absolute masterpiece... So pure... Aimi is one very talented young women
Absolutely brilliant first episode!! Well done Aimi!! 👏
Genuinely heart warming to watch, Ben and Henry you are stars hope everything goes well for you this season
What an intro!!! Got me all fired up🤯🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Aimee, well done!! 9th sounds pretty good considering World Cup competition for your first time. I will be following to see how you do this season. Have fun, young lady!!
5 months later, that intro is still giving me goosebumps!
Heavy environment for a teen. She looks like she has a lot of courage and strength. I bet Kenyon will be a name to remember. Can't wait to see her shred!
Great stuff! Go Aimi!
