Wasn't expecting to tear up for a pink bike vid but here we are...

[@cathseeds5063]

Ditto!!

[@supmikpaddleboarding5871]

Same here...so genuine!

[@juliaxhensi]

Same same!

[@partyballtosix-pack8786]

Same

[@matthias.84]

same here mate 😭

[@BCpov]

Ben... and the whole crew... These videos are so amazing. You're all doing a fantastic job on them. Thank you.

[@DjxJt13]

Put Ben on the Grim Donut!!!

[@zEndersShadowz]

No you are! ❤️

[@JuanPalomoM]

From taking over Claudio’s race previews, to his how to bike series last year, to managing PBR… Ben Cathro gets it done, people! …and also that teeny tiny detail of, you know, a top 25 place at a world cup at the same time. Captain, o Captain!!

[@freemanjones2161]

Easily some of the best MTB content being made right now. Fantastic.

[@turtlecanttreflip8205]

This is my favourite pink bike series so far

[@malitze]

Totally agree

[@Samurai-fx8cu]

Yeah I love this

[@ethanbutterfield3383]

100%

[@henryhall8755]

It’s so cool to get an inside view on how a DH team works. It’s also so cool to see how big of a deal the podium was for Ami, when you see people like Greg Minaar or Pierron win you don’t think much of the mental battle they go through but now I have a better understanding of what it’s like for these developing riders. Thanks for the video Ben!

[@asavage3654]

I would like to suggest pinkbike hires an assistant to the assistant manager so that Cathro can focus on racing! Also somebody get this film crew a raise! A+ content!!

[@jonathanangieri153]

Ill say it once, twice or even a million times if I have to, EVERYTHING Ben Cathro touches turns to GOLD. So freakin inspiring Ben! You are well respected in my eyes. Go get it this year and do what you guys always do, have fun!!

[@geoffwaymark465]

I knew Henry was zen, but Peter is also amazing. Mountain bike mechanics just seem to be the absolute best people

[@Metal-Possum]

It's easy to be zen when your day isn't filled with shitty ebikes like mine is!

[@tanopol5886]

Aimi has a bright future if she continues to race like this!

[@PaulDudley]

I'm not crying, you're crying. Great stuff. When's episode 3?

[@tammyshenanigans5154]

Respect the No. 13 plate being mounted upside-down AS IT SHOULD!

[@twecharclimber]

This just hits the right spot, love this series. The addictive qualities of Cathro! 🙌🙌💪💪

[@broeselhuber98]

This Series just keeps getting better! Mad respect to everyone involved!

[@santacruzbicycles2841]

Another great episode. Nice one crew! 👊

[@microMobilidade]

In my mind, Ben wanted to prove himself he was worthy of teaching and leading this team. You are a great guy Ben, thanks to everyone for giving everyone here an opportunity

[@ImprovImage]

Phenomenal filmmaking, storytelling, and editing. Huge props to everyone involved.

[@Aaron-yy6ul]

I love Ben, he is such an inspiring person, i cant get bored watching him

[@thomasli2261]

The whole series is just sensational, everything is just incredible, and seeing Cathro do all this work behind the scenes, the mental battle... I'm out of words

[@FomeDH]

Easily the best mtb content on youtube. you guys craft a narrative out of a weekend so well

[@drumerboy456sx]

No one like Cathro ! Dude will always be my favorite rider, commentator, presenter and just overall an awesome human !

[@TheDiablosix6six]

Ben and his crew are hands down the best MTB content creators out there! Their videos are emotional, funny and informative!! There's no filler in any of the videos!! His 'how to' videos are the best explained biking videos by far and you can see his passion for the sport and how much he cares for his team!! Keep it up Ben and all the ppl in the background because u have a BIG following out here!! 👍👍

[@calebmccalla4715]

I absolutely love how you can feel the emotion from Ben throughout the whole video. It’s super hard to portrait that through a screen and he just does it naturally. You guys definitely have something special in what your doing and with Ben. Huge props to Sleeper Co. too for his bad ass edits.

[@lewisatkinson7277]

Can you please start selling clothing, casual, race or both because they're mega. I love the retro design. 🙏

[@yorkshiremtber7884]

I’m not crying, you are If pinkbike don’t carry this on for multiple seasons it will be a shame

[@casestudymtb]

The quality of work on these... obviously you can't plan race results and the behavior of the team members but the work of camera crew and the editing team is mind blowing. Best story telling in the game right here.

[@danielanzelmganszky2075]

Started watching the video on the toilet. Ended up with a standing ovation with trousers down. Well done! Keep it up! 🎉

[@danielgrafik]

Realistically, Ben, you might not get a world cup podium... But. You've absolutely won the world champs of mountain bike content creation, and good-guy-ness. Cheers!

[@j_reinegade]

did NOT expect to cry watching DH videos. woof. Ben you're the man, the love and passion you have for the sport and your riders is unparralled

[@lewis4175]

I'm continually impressed by the quality and emotion coming from this series. Wonderful

[@brennentuning2786]

By far, this is one of my favourite series!! I'm at work and I was so close to tearing up over a bike video. Keep up the hard work.

[@donutbarbell]

Hands down the best content out there right now. It looks and feels so genuine, so emotional.

[@martsmarts]

Ben has filled a resume full of skill, experience and talent that any bike manufacturer should fully support and sponsor as a team rider. The amount of responsibility on his shoulders plus the riding he can put up with to be within the top 20s. Amazing Ben!

[@trollingthunder152]

AMAZING work on the videos BOOIIZZ!!!

[@jonathangodfrey1]

Keep it up team! Your doing a great job and I love the content!

[@danielrobinson2688]

[@offroadrepairman]

Such good videos. Greatest bike content going.

[@TheZaratustra1989]

Just WOW. What an amazing work you all have done!! Can't wait to see you all here in val di sole

[@adventurentwk]

Gorgeous film. Diving deep into the difficulties of running a small team. On par with the Netflix f1 show for emotional impact… and with a lot less money. As an editor and biker I also love seeing the filmmaking as part of the story. Unsung part of every Video/film we love. Editors never sleep!

[@sethkirkland8695]

Great content! Can't imagine racing and managing a team.

[@jeffrobinson1223]

Ben is the man. You won’t meet many others with that level of passion. Always a champ in my eyes.

[@zEndersShadowz]

I'm over here in tears. Super moving.

[@geoffwatt9883]

Thank you Ben and crew for these videos. You guys absolutely smashed this, and it went straight to heart!

[@ShitStefanShoots]

Excellent video - very much on the human side and I admit that I was waiting for this after the first on é a few weeks agon

[@zubenathimkumla9666]

Well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 what a team you guys have

[@chrisanderson8578]

This was brilliant and you guys are genuinely creating something special for everyone involved.

[@nathanw.5367]

Yo. This was good. Like, seriously good. Some of the best content on KZbin right now. Congrats Ami and Ben!

[@MILTONATOR]

Award worthy film making. The whole crew is on fire! Bravo
