As you asked, the track in the Olympic Velodrome at it's steepest point is in a 42 degree angle and on it's shallowest point it is 12 degrees. Also it is made out of Siberian pine. Have a nice day people! :)
SO exciting to see you and Ben together!! Can't wait for your Olympic video to hit my sub box! Congratulations on your first Olympics - you should be incredibly proud of yourself! :)
Absolutely loving these Olympic vlogs! Gives a whole new perspective, makes it feel like we're there. You got some awesome photos of the cycling as well 📷
Ben, your happiness while you are watching the cycling is contagious! I love it and as per usual great job with the mini visual vibes throughout the vlog! X
The banking in a Velodrome is 42 degrees! Being an up and coming track cyclist I loved this vlog, your enthusiasm for the sport and Calvyn's first hand take on the olympics. Competing there is the ultimate dream!
Ben, I was curious if you've ever used the Joby gorilla pod with your 1DX? is it stable enough? I'm thinking of doing a little behind the scenes vlog tomorrow for an event and I'm bringing my 1dx cameras but was thinking about buying the joby gorilla pod and bringing my a7ii with me as well just for video
*Great video*, next time make sure to visit other places in Brazil too, not only Rio, here are some recommendations ( check on google images): 01- *Lagoa Azul Ilha Grande* 02- *Lençois Maranhenses National Park* 03- *Jericoacoara* 04- *Cataratas do Iguaçu* 05- *Dunas do Rosado* 06- *Baía dos Porcos* 07- *Bonito MS* 08- *Maragogi* 09- *Tiradentes MG* 10- *Arraial do Cabo* After you visit these 10 places let me know and I will give you other 10 more cool places to visit in Brazil.
Definitely my favourite vlog Ben , loved every second of it and I'm sure I'm probably going to watch it like another 20 times. Keep up the good work man.
Hey Ben! I just want to thank you for all your amazing videos. You have inspired me to follow my passion and start making videos. Keep being awesome and an inspiration to us all!
I met your channel because of these videos about the Olympics . I love to see the foreign view of my country. I will continue watching the channel. Very cool, dude.
Bikes are expensive! I'm still working out how this whole money thing works, saving for a house is the priority, I'm waiting for someone to lend/give me a bike again.
Even though so many in the U.S. were trashing this Olympics coming into it with all these problems, this has turned out to be one of the greatest Summer Olympics, ever! I do say this as an American, however. Easily, some of your best all time vlogs, Ben. So Good! Those cyclists were hauling ass around that banked track. Like 50 mph! Just, insane!
Ben, Santa Catarina has been the best state for tourism in Brazil for 11 consecutives years, and i know you would love every bit of it! also, i would love to see my hometown in the vlogs haha but i'm glad you enjoyed Rio for now 🏖
Deffo the best Olympic vlog Ben. Good you dumped the rest of the YT's and went out on your own. Meeting Calvyn and the others was cool. But those cycling shots, soooo very impressive. Frame those at your next pop-up shop!
I watched the cycling on the BBC and what is crazy is your footage is better! I could see a far better demonstration of the angle of the velodrome track in your shots and the speed they were going at was much better. You also had a better feel for the reaction of the crowd. Great stuff.
Never thought I would hear your voice in Portuguese, "Terminal um ou dois" the driver sayd.. when you repeat "dois" just loved your voice hahaha maybe you should learn some portugueses Ben haha
I'm so jealous you got to meet Steele Johnson and David Boudia and other athletes. The fact that Steele watches your vlogs is pretty cool, and I'm surprised neither you or Steele were freaking out about meeting each other. Cause if it were me meeting you or any athlete like Steele it'd be hard for me to keep my cool. You literally talked like you knew them for years! Also I used to like Tom Daley, but I definitely feel like Steele Johnson is the new Tom Daley :)
Hey Ben. I'm a competitive Cyclist myself. The angle at the Rio Track I belive is around 43°. The velodrome however here in Glasgow is 46° and one of the steepest velodromes in the world!!

Thanks!!!!!
Thanks a lot 😄
I have asked 'Laurine van Riessen' and she told me it was 90 degrees ;-)))
it must be maximum 41 degrees
+ Orla Thompson. It's a joke: Google her name, you will understand it. ;-))
Was awesome meeting you Ben - Great Vlog

Was awesome seeing you in the vlog today Calvyn! Well done on your first Olympics and making SA proud!
SO exciting to see you and Ben together!! Can't wait for your Olympic video to hit my sub box! Congratulations on your first Olympics - you should be incredibly proud of yourself! :)

Loved the Rio Vlogs! Seeing behind the scenes Olympic action made the games come to life!
I was happy for their positive experience in Rio de Janeiro. Check back often
It's the first time for a long time that I've not watched the Olympics. Good to see Yorkshire being represented well and winning medals for Team GB.
Absolutely loved this Vlog Ben! I would say that it has been my favourite one so far and I've been subscribed for around 4 or so years
The banking in a Velodrome is 42 degrees! Being an up and coming track cyclist I loved this vlog, your enthusiasm for the sport and Calvyn's first hand take on the olympics. Competing there is the ultimate dream!

My complements on your portuguese accent! And thanks for the Rio series. I enjoyed watching everything!
Awesome work on these vlogs Ben! It must have been an amazing experience to photograph the Olympics
These Olympic vlogs were great!
I met your channel because of these videos about the Olympics . I love to see the foreign view of my country. I will continue watching the channel. Very cool, dude.
thanks dude! :D
What ever happened to the bike you ordered from Giro! ? You getting back into cycling any time soon?
Bikes are expensive! I'm still working out how this whole money thing works, saving for a house is the priority, I'm waiting for someone to lend/give me a bike again.
I really recomend you the new Kuota bikes series. Nice money-technology proportion.
Going to miss these Olympic vlogs! They were so cool
Calvyns smile when Ben asked him to film for him ☺️❤️
Loved this vlog! The photo section is epic! 💙❤️
steve's hoodie is so perfect for flying i swear XD
This vlog is one of my favourite !
Thank's for the music *-*
Cheers from belgium Ben !
Amazing vlog Ben - team GB absolutely smashed the cycling 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
You're so cool Ben! You deserve 20x the amount of subs you have! Best channel is an understatement
Fantastic!!!! The velodrome images are sick!!!
Loved these vids and look forward to when you go back. subbed!
thanks! :D
YESSS Calvyn is my favorite youtuber eeeeeeeeeee
Even though so many in the U.S. were trashing this Olympics coming into it with all these problems, this has turned out to be one of the greatest Summer Olympics, ever! I do say this as an American, however. Easily, some of your best all time vlogs, Ben. So Good! Those cyclists were hauling ass around that banked track. Like 50 mph! Just, insane!
I very much enjoy your olympic vlogs. So much better that the dutch sports tv!! Keep up the good work.
Seems like such a surreal experience. Great vlog Ben 👍🏿
This Rio vlogs have been amazing!
Awesome! Make more videos with Calvyn! 😃
Ben, Santa Catarina has been the best state for tourism in Brazil for 11 consecutives years, and i know you would love every bit of it! also, i would love to see my hometown in the vlogs haha but i'm glad you enjoyed Rio for now 🏖
it's official, calvyn is my new favorite vlogger.
SaME HAHAAH
saaaaame!
amazing video you are such an inspiration for traveling around the world and exploring keep up the good videos i love you xx😍😍
This made me even more excited for Calvyn's Olympic vlog! :D
The velodrome rocks! Great vlog made greater with cycling.
Such a good vlog Ben! Definitely going to the Olympics one day
Loved this vlog. Thanks for all the athlete vlog recommendations, if you have any more, please let us know.
p.s. the Cycling photos were sick!
Those cycling photos are incredible
Some seriously good shots of the cycling mate!
This rio vlogs were so on point!!! good stuff ben. Question why they didn't allow people to film or take photos?
What a legend! Only been watching your videos for two days and your already my favourite youtuber. Keep up the great work.p.s. Go to Zimbabwe.
The intro is really good, just as the rest of the video!
Thats so funny, I discovered Calvyn's channel a few weeks ago, now he's in one of my favourite vloggers videos? So awesome! 😄😊😝
I don't know what it was, but the clouds in this vlog looked amazing. Haha. Really enjoyed this one, Ben!
Great vlog Ben! make sure you checkout the BMX Racing on the 16th, 17th and 18th!
im sorry you had to drink Skol beer, ben
hahahahahaaha verdade
Really good experience dude....I worked like a volunteer in RIO2016 and i know how was be there... Volte sempre ao Brasil cara...!!!
It was a pleasure! Come back when you want. OBRIGADO!! 💚💛
Was awesome seeing you in the vlog today.
ben speaking portuguese like a pro, so proud of you
Come back soon! And visit São Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu, any beaches, just come back! 🇧🇷💚
God those photos were outrageous Ben!
I believe a velodrome track is 42 degrees at its steepest. It's surprisingly easy to ride if you've ever tried it.
Wait, you went to Rio and bought a LA 1984 Olympics BB Cap, Ben, you are the man, I love it
I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THAT YOU AND CALVYN MET UP! WOOH
Deffo the best Olympic vlog Ben. Good you dumped the rest of the YT's and went out on your own. Meeting Calvyn and the others was cool. But those cycling shots, soooo very impressive. Frame those at your next pop-up shop!
best ever vlogs Ben!
I watched the cycling on the BBC and what is crazy is your footage is better! I could see a far better demonstration of the angle of the velodrome track in your shots and the speed they were going at was much better. You also had a better feel for the reaction of the crowd. Great stuff.
Great Vlog Ben!!
Except for the “obrigaro”, Ben's Portuguese sounds quite convincing :D
Never thought I would hear your voice in Portuguese, "Terminal um ou dois" the driver sayd.. when you repeat "dois" just loved your voice hahaha maybe you should learn some portugueses Ben haha
Great vlog Ben!
I'm so jealous you got to meet Steele Johnson and David Boudia and other athletes. The fact that Steele watches your vlogs is pretty cool, and I'm surprised neither you or Steele were freaking out about meeting each other.

Also I used to like Tom Daley, but I definitely feel like Steele Johnson is the new Tom Daley :)
Até logo, Ben.
Volte sempre! ;)
this vlog is so sad, seeing you what looked like a really awesome time
when your favourite song worth it sneaks into Ben's vlog
thanks for making this all EVEN cooler than it is =)
Good times bro!
Hey Ben. I'm a competitive Cyclist myself. The angle at the Rio Track I belive is around 43°. The velodrome however here in Glasgow is 46° and one of the steepest velodromes in the world!!
Great vlog, on a 250m track the corners average 45 degrees. The steepest track I know of is very short, in Canada and is 52 degrees in the corners.
Loved the cycling shots today Ben :) cheers from a cyclist!
Great vlogs! felt like I was right there too.
nice, was very interesting travel.
i love your vlogs! :)
