Ben's ability to put into words what takes numerous years of riding experience to learn is amazing. Great video.
He got an eye for all the small details. There are a lot of technique videos but they only show a fraction of the important things. Really enjoyable to watch
@@jordy5625 these are so much better than a certain big networks videos!
Is it just me, or is Ben cathro just the best. Every time I watch him I feel connected to his personality and feel like a friend. Keep up the amazing work buddy 🤙🏻
It's damn near impossible to find TH-cam videos with such universally positive comments. Cheers to Mr. Cathro and the commenters. Brings a tear to my eye.
Another 15 mins of pure gold. Everything you need to know, forget the rest.
Set your bike up right, learn how to to learn, then learn pumping turning popping stopping. Job done✔
Thanks Ben
As soon as I heard about this "how to bike series" knowing cathros humor I thought it was gonna be all jokes but I'm actually learning alot from this series and I've been applying it to my racing/riding and I feel like I'm actually getting better and faster
Been implementing the things talked about in the videos to my riding. All I can say is that it's really helping shape my riding. Thank you
Stopping comfort braking is probably my biggest current challenge to progression
Same!! Good luck to you
Same
This is the big one. When you get over comfort braking, you will become much more fluid and ironically you feel more in control. Scan along way ahead to quickly identify those sections you can charge. The question I started to ask myself was "can my bike deal with this next section"? That really helped me. Once your experience gets to the point that your forward trail scanning knows what your bike can deal with, you get the courage to get off the brakes and ride the section
@@oliverbourne9599 yeah its really ironic, the faster you go the easier it gets
Same here, always struggling with comfort braking and loose of control due to this. Will set up targets on some home trail sections to try improving on this. Thanks for the how to series... 👍🏻 I appreciate this series and can highly recommend it. It's even enjoyable watching it a 2nd or 3rd time, which is quite rare on YT these days 😅
Wait... so I shouldn't just lock up my front brake every single time I need to slow down??
You should…and embrace the pain 😁
You totally should! Don't forget to keep your chest over bars too.
You should absolutely lock up the front brake to slow down, but only when you’re riding backwards! The Dyslex’Braking Technique is rarely used, and was banned by the Enduro World Series during competition!
I mean.....
That's what I got out of it...
Love the red light, green light example! It shows how dynamic you have to be on the brakes.
Just let this man make all the content.
The fact that I've raced worlds @ val Di sole this year and I still learn bit by bit more from Ben
Very late to these videos but as a newbie these have been HUGE for learning so many basic concepts I didn't know about. So many little tidbits that seem so obvious but you don't know what you don't know. Thanks a ton for putting these vids together. 🤙
Moved to Queenstown NZ a few years ago and been thinking of getting a bike (shame not to with the bike park 5 minute walk from my house). Your series just put the nail in the coffin mate! So keen to get practicing on all your tips!
That's the video that we all need actually ! Thanks Ben !
It’s actually eye-opening on my problems I had! Great thing to remember and do some mental training on while off-season!
great video. reminds me of motocross. brake hard and late, get off brakes and then rail the corner. so much work I put in on that technique.
yes just like a moto just way lighter and you power it, you will find so many moto riders ride mountain bikes and truly shred. the physics are the same.
He got an eye for all the small details. There are a lot of technique videos but they only show a fraction of the important things. Really enjoyable to watch
No matter how many videos I've seen on a topic, you always have something to add and you are always entertaining as you do it! Great stuff.
That was incredible, Ben! Thank you!
Great video series, really well done too! Keep 'em coming!
These videos are so good, Ben gets me so hype to ride and progress my skills!
Love this video from Ben. This is my first time hearing the term “comfort braking” and it really helps cement in my brain the “you don’t need that” type of stuff I do way too much. Can’t wait to practice some of these ideas.
Me too. I try to keep the pointers in mind when I'm riding, then I feel myself flying way too fast and I can't remember if I need to be high up or lower down on my bike..then I just hop off. Can't wait till I get to the comfort breaking point.
The q I still have is 1) what to do if your just coming in too hot and have to continue breaking into the corner and 2) when to shift weight, if your meant to be back on breaking but forward for aggressive turning, and breaking late ?
Another great vid, Mr. Cathrovision!
Would love to see more videos of fast riders with a kind of brake indicator like you did with the On/Off graphics. Maybe some kind of switch or sensor connected to the brake lever with a brake-light mounted on the bike/rider.
GREAT as always!!
Great video as always:) BOSS position = neutral position
Love your series Ben! Great explanations and topics.
Amazing content Ben, Pinkbike is lucky to have you!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for!! Thank you.👍
This is an amazing series!
Looking Over and Over and still learning, recognizing the Racer Guy in me after all those year !
Love your humour ;)
Such a good video Thank You so much !
Perfect as always... Rock on Ben!
Ben, your vids are the best! Way better than any other YT biking vids!
Your experience with MTB drills are VIABLE.
Nicely done!
S n Colorado
Absolutely love your videos! Thanks brother!
I just got back into off road riding two weeks ago and already felt some bad habits starting.
Just watching this video has already made me correct these things, now I just need to practice them and make sure I don't leave the balls at home. Being somewhat fearless for just a moment is all you need to correct a bad habit. Cheers mate
keep the videos! amazing stuff
Another great video. Love this series!
That was SO fun and useful to watch! Brilliant class!
Such Crisp and clear explanation with a good amount of Ben humor. You can't put a price on this. Great stuff!👊🏻
Excellent. This will help so much!!!
What a ton of insight. My approach to riding changed in just a video. Thank you, Pinkbike.
Literally the best educating MTB videos I saw
The are fantastic tips! I just recently got into MTB and I feel like most vids are too fast at explaining tips. I found out pretty quickly how important breaking is and this is a video Ima go back to over and over again. Thanks!
Awesome video, Ben! Thanks mate!!
Another amazing video Professor Cathro!!! About time someone came along with some good advice!! Im ready for a wheelie and nose manual video!!!!
so many little great points here, thank you!
Love this series so much! Thanks for the great instruction
Big thanks from Hood River, Oregon( biiiitchin riding) !! Been watchin instructional vids on turning and braking from whom ever puts them out. A big help ! Recently have been reconnoitering a considerable labyrinth of dirtbike trails in the local offroad area - Post Canyon, puttin a perpetual Mona Lisa smile on my face !! Steep, loose, chunky descents. And getting lots of chance to use proper body positioning in turns and forcing myself to let off the brakes in turns and over obstacles and brake before. Your vid is clear and easy to ingest and helped alot !! Got a good example of not braking like I could have comin down a REALLY steep dirt bike section -65+ degrees - called Impossibles. It is pure dirt and when it's damp and not dug up from dirt bikers rallying up it .. it is a real kick !! Drops a good 100 ft so braking is imperative. Garth Hardin on youtube - "2021-7-7 Impossibles KO Krash !!!" Ride Jump or Wither !!
just subscribed one of the most helpful vids ever,thanks
Such great tips and demo--thank you Ben!
Another fantastic video Thanks!
that series is really amazing
Watching the second time it seems all so logical. Really enjoying this series! Thank you.
Quality video yet again.....fanx 😊
Thanks Ben. Very informative and educational! You’re the man 💪
super info and explained brilliantly!
Brilliant..!!!..seriously cannot wait to try this out ....
This series is the best ,,how to''ever. Thanks Ben and team
Excellent! Real knowledge! 👍
Good video again, thanks Ben !
This series of video is amazing. Braking is exactly my top topic currently as I always feel that i am either braking too hard or not enough... it is a lot of practice to nail the perfect one ! Any tip ?
For me it helped to session a single corner very often until feeling that the limit of traction is reached. Cheers mate
@@robxin6807great idea 🙏 thanks two years later 😂
Best MTB instruction on TH-cam !!!
Great video!
Great drills big man.
Thanks.
Omg this is so insightful and I can't wait to try out your teaching! Thanks Ben!!
Overlaying that vector going above the tire was a clutch explanation!
So good once again!
Thanks ur tutorials really help
solid advice! great video!
Best vid yet in the series!!!
Thanks for these videos there great
Brilliant -Thanks!
Respect always!
Ben is freaking so good at teaching. This should win an Emmy
Excellent explanation! :) Learned a lot!
Great video
Such good input
Thanks bro, I learned a lot 🤟🏼
Ben, you're the best, learning from you!
love it Cathro!!
Great info and application shown
Great one from Ben and the boyz
These videos are so great! I've learned a lot... now I just need to trust what I've learned on the trails.
I've been riding MTBs for 30 years and haven't heard this information before. It makes sense. Thank you for making this video, it is very much appreciated.
Another classic from BC. How had I not subscribed to this channel already...done.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing!
love this series ❤️👌🏼🤘🏼
Excellent instructions!
Just like comfort food, I just can't help myself and I devour a large helping of comfort braking! I know I should restrain myself so I can be a better(and lighter) rider. My favorite tip was creating mini goals on the trail by choosing small sections not to brake. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks you for making wonderfull videos that I can watch in free time
Bought my first full sus bike a few days ago and been out on the trails all day, binged the how to vids last night and it was like being given a load of cheat codes. Amazing vids :)
Great info that I wish I had before I started thanks
Great vid pal. Heard some absolute shredders talking about them in the woods the other day too! Something for everyone 🙌🏼 thanks!!!!
Great video I learned something
Such a good video! I am actively working on staging the brakes way less and it makes a huge difference in speed
I find that during panic breaking I end up braking too hard, and end up over the front bars. This video has been helpful. I raced BMx way back in the 1980’s. We didn’t have front brakes, so this whole mountain biking thing in my 50’s is difficult. I’ve gone over the front bars, as the shock compressed way too many times
Cool series!
Just the best how to MTB videos....and funny !
Fantastic video(s), Ben. Your way of instruction is top notch. I’m just getting back into mtb after…too many years. Recently I’ve been watching HOURS of video. Your way of presenting, and choice of graphics and info-graphs, is the best I’ve seen. Thank you! 🤙🏼
