Ben, you are just freakin awesome! Awesome humor mixed with excellent teaching! You are a natural teacher!
Brilliant. Nearly all of my riding buddies believe that locking up the back brake and skidding is a controlled and efficient way of descending. The same guys are scared shitless of the front brake. I’m gonna share this to them all. Cheers Ben
Like. Then watch. Then share. Then go biking.
I love my Cathro-routines 😉
Stellar video, as always.
I want to learn how those freeriders whipsplash their tails left and right while going down
Just know that while looking steezy, it'll wreck every trail you're doing it on. So if you're not digging/maintaining trails yourself, maybe don't. ;)
Skandinavian flick before a corner, or for loosing speed in the steep.
Here's a brief introduction:

The ol skandi flick hu
You brake and flick it’s really easy
I un-weight the rear and whip. No brakes needed.
@@darnokregrer3575 nope I will do it on steep spots I know. I know how hard to maintain trails and it’s impossible to do it in trails since there is no long and loose steep sections
Your videos crack me up😂 fun times
correct brake there m8
Always good to get out and practice your cathronetics exercises 😜🤘
Sorry to interrupt ! But I must admit it's the funniest video I have ever seen ! You made my day and more !
Bikes were invented by Karl von Drais a German guy and as here in Germany front is left and rear is right that's the right way. Front right rear left is like using miles to describe distance.
Nice video and educational too, thank you.
P.S.
Whole Europe uses left brake for front wheel and right one for rear...😊
These "How to.." are a real great.. =)
spicy comment about how your levers are on the wrong side
What is the app to compare videos? Great video btw
braking the front wheel using the right hand, I couldn’t expect anything diffent from people who drives in the left side of the road. 😂😂😂
but what about using brake squat to increase rear wheel grip and actually go faster?
Yeah.. the "right way" :D
Ben cathro For prime minister
Hardly even ride anymore just watch for Cathro content
Drive and brake on the wrong side! 🤣
Is this bike good for down bull racing ?
Down hill I meant
I was just wondering why is it at other countries and places tend to put their brakes on the opposite sides that we do here in the US I'm also a motorcycle rider so I agree that when you're comparing it to a motorcycle it makes more sense to have the brakes in the same side but is there any reason other than that I also hear a lot of writers from the UK say that it just makes sense or that it's the right way I was just wondering the reasoning to me it seems for the consistency between other types of vehicles and bikes
Brakes = Euro way - Haa
APPROVED! Left brake is rear, right brake is front!
Sorry not correct way. Rear, right both start with an R. Left, front both have an f. Makes it much easier to remember for newbies. Great video though
come on bubba where you live they do it messed up and right rear but where you live if ride a motorbike whats the right break lever activate.... oh yeah the front..... I rode motorcross before I ever rode a pedalbike, first time on pedalbike I needed breaks thinking "obvious right front" so I pulled my left ended in a end overheels endo! all of Uk and Urope do it right, I wish Canada did it proper my bike techs have to be reminded I have my levers on the right way not the wrong way... the looks I get here in Canada.... priceless.
@@antlerr That's a good point, but I don't ride Motocross and most people who mountain bike do not either. But it does matter less on a motorcycle which is front, since it's so heavy it doesn't endo really much. The USA just likes to do things their own way, just like with no metric here.
@@byronswogger you want the reason in physics why the front on right just makes more sense, fine 9 outa 10 people are right handed, equals stronger right side over left, you favour it more. what happens to the weight when you start to break..? the weight is shifted forward from car, to bike to pedal bike all same physics, cars to help them stop use 60 percent front break power compared to 40 percent rear why weight shift forward my friend... pro moto riders use one finger on there break lever, pro pedal bikers with both breaks use front break more then there rear why physics my friend can't exscape it. If everywhere whent back to original front on right like since day one of bikes would force more people to use it more after all most important break you got, give this a try some time coast downhill and try stoping just back brake only without a skid mark star and stop point then try again at same start point try just front brake see how much less just front stops you! and enjoy todays leason in physics.
THATS THE WRONG WAY
As an American, I ride a motorcycle so my brakes are set as such. Not like a pleb like all new Covid riders.
Good pointers and I love it that you mess around and make this fun to watch!
More than likely this series has already been recorded but I would like to see how to add style to my riding! Like wheeling between rollers or wheeling while downhill riding. Also how to endo turn, drift/barp/shrap/whatever you call it
Love the serie 🤘
Ben would be a good guy to teach that because he appears to have both the steeze and the sauce.
he gave the most important tip for all of those in the first episode ... get out of the house :D
I have watched both seasons covering all episodes with out having a bike😌😅. You are sharing priceless information and i look forward to practice when I get my first bike. Thanks 🙏 Ben😍 @pinkbike
How to brake. Pull levers. Why brake? To slow down. When to brake? Preferably before you crash. Too early and you're a noob. Too late and you're a sender. Just right and you have a seat with the 3 bears, just sippin' on some porridge.
2:00 it IS the correct way as it's the same way it's on motorcycles 💀
I happened on an impromptu front brake learning session. I rode up my usual hill… and found out my back brake was glassed after a previous day of ridiculous brake intensive riding.
Had to ride the entire thing on my front brake only. A learning experience for sure😂
Your brakes are the wrong way :) lol , Amazing video!
INVEST IN SKIDCOIN NOW!
Personally, I removed the front brake altogether and just run a 203mm Shimano Saint on the rear... way more fun.
Me, riding an UK bike for the first time = 🤕
I think one key thing that wasn't on the script is: pump the ground while heavy braking in the brake zone. It increases grip, but you have to time the brake with the pump.
Good pointer.
I agree. I do it whenever necessary.
Front brakes packing down the front suspension throwing you forward, packing down the suspension more over bumps is the worst.
Thanks Ben for these amazing videos!
I did 70kph on a dh road here on our local roads, no breaking sure helps
It's funny that left front and right rear is the most correct and accurate way...😅✌️
Just adding a little “sauce” regarding front brake on left or right! LOL 😂
I come from karting, and though I’m new to mountain biking, some concepts you explain in your videos ring a bell. On the other hand, in karts we basically drive in two dimensions. Here there are three to factor in, which adds a lot of fun and complexity. Thanks for your videos!
1:58 ROFLMAO so true I live in Canada and I rode motocross before I ever got on a pedalbike, man I did a endo first time pulling breaks I was thinking its just like a motorbike right side front left being no clutch on pedal bike should be rear oh boy was I mistaken.
Love your videos keep up the great material
I don‘t brake on ZWIFT
You have good energy 👍
Thank you so much for this video. I did a full superman OTB while on a trail I had no business being on (I'm very new to mtb), going too fast and panic squeeze the breaks. Hearing, "ya just need to practice" but no guidance on how to practice was frustrating. This is super helpful.
OTB's happen from grabbing brakes, this is what happens instinctively when you're scared. It's quite normal and a habit that is very quickly broken with braking practise (Ben's talk on Modulation). You can squeeze (not grab) the brakes VERY hard, and if your body is in the right position you'll slow down fast without going OTB.
good video. But your brakes are the wrong way around 😇😅
Just ask Remy Metailler.
any updates on the $kidcoin
I am smashing that comment section fo you!
''the correct way'' LOL
I like is ratfro.
I just tore my rotator cuff how can I ride DH one handed?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
which santa cruz is that?
switching between the NA way or brakes and motorcycles is messing up my muscle memory big time :(
The problem is over speeding in tricky sections. This usually ends in Friday fails video = Panic or more like a FFFFF...k + brakes + try to save with a controlled crash, skid or what ever comes to you brain in that moment.🤯
Did I miss Season 2 Episode 2?
but our bike manufacturer setup the brakes reverse, left for front & right for rear brake🤔
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
This video is great! Master Ben's presentation is awsome :)
Ben is it true that the reason why the back brake is on the left because of motorcycles? If that's the case let me remind everyone that it's actually the way they are on scooters, motorcycles have the rear brake foot pedal.
Stop riding a scooter.
I watch you ladies and all you do is skid. I have a great idea let's make a video where we lie like schmuckpuppets and say we don't skid as if we had a lick of riding skill which obviously we do not.
great and informative video on braking, made greater by these bits: 1:11, 2:00, 2:04, 11:09
How do you not use brakes on steep turns?? I can be off the brakes in flattish turns, but anything steep, the bike picks up so much speed 😕
Brakes I didn’t recall any brakes on my bike. I better go check hold on. Hey yeah, there are some things on the wheels they might work not sure.
How could I have forgotten the organic ABS replica :o
I rode for many years. Since childhood. The only way to get those specific traits and feelings is to ride, alot!
Right rear easy to remember, here in the USA, enjoyed the video though.
Rear brake right side of handle bars is correct not the rear brake on the left side of the bars seems like instant death
🤙🏼🤘🏼
BRAKES: Right is Rear!😅
This Guy needs an Oscar!
i love this series so much
Ben Rocks!!
Best yet!
You should talk more about using the brakes independently of each other.
Entering the braking zone I actually apply my front brake fractionally before my rear brake, and then depending on the exit, I smoothly release each brake separately as the respective wheel gets to the apex. You could call it trail braking but I like to think of it as... "release each brake sequentially to give the tire the grip necessary to hold the turn".
1. Enter braking zone, Front brake comes on VERY strong first, then the rear modulating to maintain the rear from sliding
2. As you get to the apex and decide it's time to come off the brakes, you will begin to lean the bike
3. As you lean the bike the front tire will require you to release the front brake to "give" more of the total available traction to turning and less to braking
4. Completely off the front brake now as it has passed the corner of the apex, you begin to let off the rear, maintaining grip and juuuuust barely dragging the rear depending on if you want to rotate the rear tire or not through the corner
5. Off the rear brake now you are though the corner!
back brake on the right because u usually pull the back brake harder and more often and most people have stronger right hands.
You shouldn't have to hold the brakes hard at all
SkidCoin for the win! Shut up and take my money!
Damnit that was pure fkn gold right there! I was looking for ways to improve my braking and this was what i needed to hear. Pinkbike needs to get Ben a huge increase in pay. His value is unmatched
Love these videos , and ' HA' it IS the correct way ! Gravel rash to the face while trying to impress a girl in Salou when I was 14 is testament to this fact.
Front on the left side Rear on the right
propper way is how they do it in uk right front left rear just like if you ride a motorbike right front break.... makes more sense then how rest of world does it...
I learned front brake control when my rear brake exploded halfway down a long descent on the way home. Had to swap the front pads out after that one.
