We need to come up with a good name for the new camper van. Nothing rude, has to be something they can actually call it like "The MTB Camper". Winner gets a T-shirt or something ;)
you should call it the race machine. love the vids, wish the season was full and could see your race vids because they would be sick.
The SHRED SLED is the perfect name
Ben Cathro the cathro carry camper!
Dutch Chocolate Sprinkles. short DCS
Just call it: VW T6 cathro vision, works for your video series and for the van
Ben - boy we missed your coverage this weekend at the world champs
7:47 those forks with the red Marzocchi lowers and the kashima stanchions look wild🤟
Marazocchi and fox are the same company now so they are basically the same fork just different internals
Is it just me who’s waiting for a new video?
Call your van “Cathro’s Megatower Bike Check” because it’s a good idea that’s taking forever to make
Hah!
Cathro you're a legend, good luck whenever the MTB season gets going again
Yes ben nice edit & sick to see my local trails, the Santa Cruz boys at P&S & Jack Gill back on a bike. AWESOME STUFF
"Deisel" and also a "compessor" that's next level 😂
The talent and creativity comes from what the lamen calls dyslexia .... 😍🏴😍
I fast forwarded the bits where I’m laughing at the misspellings. Hand operates faster than my brain sometimes.
@@BenCathro It's the other way around! Your hands can't keep up with your brain! ;)
The quality of these videos is sooo good. Can’t wait to see you on the circuit.
7:48 fox uppers and marzocchi lowers🧐. Interesting haha
Cant wait to see you racing Ben! Also looking forward to plenty of content around the van! 👀
Looks like you will be having the most intense come back with all those back to back races coming up 😅 gonna be hardcore 🤘🏻
Hi Ben, I would like to see more videos. Please keep producing high quality bike content. Love it.
loved the logo at the start with the C inside the B
Yes lad! That's how I'm getting my van built when funds are allowed. I dislike the sectioned off garage builds. It's just wasted space most of the time. Good idea!
The shred sled is the perfect name
I like this. I was going to suggest the Loam Lounge.
your ride footage is TOP NOTCH!
Gopro 8 chin cam with wind mufflers over the microphones 👌
When can we see the finished van? I’ve a LWB T6 and I keep the bike inside fully built when traveling then take the wheels off and store in the front seats when cooking and sleeping.
Finely new vid thanks cathro
How did I miss this? Nice!
Any update on this? I love the idea of the sliding bulkhead with space for assembled bikes for day trips whilst still being able to store them sideways in the boot when going away overnight. You see loads of solutions but this one ticks a lot of boxes if I ever downsize from my 6 metre high-top camper :)
Lol!!!! A heather for the Scottish winter's!! And the Scottish summer 🤣🤣🤘
Bit late but the van should be called “Cathro driven”
Cathbro Camper should be the name of your camper 🤘
Yes Ben nice one 🤙
Yo the music and editing is on point
That is appreciated. Took a few days to slice this together 🙏
Eagerly awaiting stuff!
Soon.... soon.
Damn you're fast!
hey Cathro...you know that Skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac drinking Cranberry TikTok thing?
Do you think you could get one of the press guys to film a spot where it's likely some of the world cup downhill athletes are going to fall and get them to run in to offer them some cranberry juice?
Get the fall captured in epic slomo and then film the reaction of them having been passed the cranberry
Would be interesting to see if any of them get the joke and can fight through the pain/embarrassment to play along 😁
I am looking forward to seeing how this van turns out, as i have T5 and want a MTB conversion and have same problem that my bike will only fit in sideways with both wheels off, so it'll be good to see the finished product and if its easy to live with
Looks like I bet get saving for one of them vans haha
I'm waiting for the new upload 😁
Sadly it never arrived:(
How about the "Cathro Crash & Carry" .For when you want to get away for a few days riding, Hopefully we can all get out on trails properly soon
The van could be called the ‘Cathro-A-Go-Go’ Or ‘The Loam Ranger’ or simply ‘The Easy Rider’ 👍🏻
Oh Nice!
Just got an XXL Rocky Mountain element on your recommendation Ben! First bike I’ve ever ridden where I didn’t feel top heavy!
how sick
More videos please Ben! Featuring megaplower
I am Portuguese. You have been in Lousa, Portugal. I live in Dorking (6 miles from Peaslake). Mate, are you stalking me? :D lol Glad you enjoyed the trails. For the van call it "Nessy" . Cheers
The singletrack sleeper. Or the riders roamer.
Hey! Missing your videos man. A edit with some riding/practicing/goofing around stuff would be great! Or maybe a "What Cathro is up to now a days."-thingy project.
Enjoy the vanlife!
Cathro’s camper campaign 😂
The Vision, for the camper.
When is the next instalment? I'd love to see how the sliding bulkhead works out :)
Anymore on your van build, how's it going, do you have a part 2 of the van mtb/campervan build, excited to see how it turned out thanks
It’s a shame that ur season was stopped hopefully you will be physically ready for next season and I didn’t get why that kid was getting pulled up it was as flat as a pancake
Couldn't have ridden the Surrey Hills in worse conditions!
Agreed 😂
Evian still awesome
The Loam Roamer
Cathro Van 👍
Well, you are a massive human.
Is the van finished yet?
If Surrey hills was good, get yourself down to the SW!
How about the VW BIKE BOTHY.
Did you get the van finished? We need to see it!!
That's such a good idea for the van, I'm looking at getting one soon and thinking how bikes will fit.
Also is there a rule if you want a campervan you need a VW haha :p
Did this van ever get finished? Interested to see how the flexible storage and living area with the sliding rock n bed worked out.
You are gonna do the pinkbike privateer thing next year instead, right ? :D Just get one more year to prepare then, you'll crush it ! ;)
Is that a long or short wheel base van? Thanks for uploading
1:33 - no, that is not true... the "basic" leather option is "fake leather", but there is a "nappa leather" option. BMW even does "merino leather".
Come to the comments for this!
What 12v compressor did you get? I have trouble finding one with a tank.
The Ben-nevis edition? Both are bloody tall :D
I've been checking back for an update for months, but I guess Ben is busy. Did some snooping on the PDubz Facebook page and pretty sure this is the van or at least the same/similar layout
facebook.com/Pdubzvehiclemods/posts/4720753221329597
Ben where are ye mate!
What's the status of the Privateer project? Will it still be feasible with the compressed schedule?
Braap van
Is that ya new bike ??
van name : benjamin ?
I don't get how you don't wipe out in every corner?? The wizardry is unreal 🔥
Also, what sorry if tyres are you riding on in these conditions, would Magic Mary be even close to tough enough?
Magic and a Hans Dampf. It was pretty grippy as it’s quite sandy at peaslake.
@@BenCathro Thanks for taking time to answer!
Why not simply. Cathro Camper
Where are you Ben we miss you! 😢
I saw a custom lowrider bike at the start. Does pdubz do custom work for lowrider biked😮🤔. I need my converted to electric 🤔🙏😎. But I have custom wheels on the bike...... Any advice please...
Corrie the Camper
What is the status of the van? Any progress vids for sharing?
Name it the Cathro Wheeze
Hey Ben! Quick question, do you ride on flats or clipless on your Megatower?
12and12 CS He runs SPD’s from Nukeproof Horizon
Depends what shoes are dry 😂. I was running clips in this vid but I’m currently running Deity TMac flats with five ten shoes.
Call it
Kardi / Cathro Camper.
MTB EDITION
Thank Ben for another super video. I must admit I shudder when I see the conditions you ride in. My closest trails are easily ruined that the rule is generally no riding if has rained in the last day.
It’s so alien to hear that in the uk. It rains half of the year here so it’s ride in the wet or nothing most of the time.
Ben's Gina or the Vanjazzle or "the semi-pro setup"
Hey Ben! may I ask tyre pressure you ran whilst riding in this video and did you have cushcore in?
30psi/25psi no Cushcore.
@@BenCathro Thanks a lot!
What a total slop-fest!! Really wish there was more vans that fit in a apartment parkade in Canada and make for a good camper
Call it “camp Cathro”
Van delivered and in full use now I take it?
Any update on the van Ben?
Lt. Cathtowar (cathro - high tower)
Cathrovan!
Scamp ( Scottish camper )
VW FANSPORTER
Camper Vision or Camprovision?
Hi! What cycling computer?
Garmin 830.
Any updates on this
update please
When will the winner of the van name get decided bud. 👍🏻
where's cathro gone :(
u got pently of time to figure out the name till i figure out where to steal the cash for it
Why a vw rather than the ducato platform which is wide enough to sleep across
That’s easy, I want a smallish van as it’s my everyday vehicle.
Fair enough
A Ducato isn't wide enough to sleep across for taller folks anyway once you add even a little insulation or wall panelling. Someone Ben's height would need side flares to make it work.
where did Ben go?
“Scamp”
Name: The Cathro Camper
Why don't to call it the BCC - Ben Cathro Conversion
Cathro's Dirt Box
