Ambitions: Episode 8, Feat. Emily Batty - Video

 The important question here is: Has she started following Ed Masters on Instagram yet?

 Treks marketing department are asleep at the wheel. An Emily Batty/ Rachel Atherton video will break the internet!

 Love these videos, fantastic production. Would be great to see Liam do a similar series on another other Canadian rider in a different discipline. Go Emily!

 Keep it classy PB

 Making Ontario, and all of Canada proud Emily. Keep up the good work racing and working with the next generation!

 Wow. She's pretty awesome. Nice to see how down to earth she is with all the attention.

 I have been hoping for a video/documentary about Batty and this far exceeds my expectation as it really helped give me perspective of who she is and connect us to her as an athlete and role model. Proud to have her represent us in Canada!

 you got me at EMILY BATTY

 What an utterly charming athlete she is.

 Good lordy, hello animal instincts I forgot all about you

 I sometimes think XC riders don't get the limelight because it's "not as cool" compared to the likes or enduro or DH, but credit where it's due...it's seriously impressive what they can do!

 I middle finger brake as well. Always have since I was kid. I agree with everything she said about it. I think I have better control over the bike with my pointer fingers still on the bars. I try and do it the normal way sometimes and I can't even ride.

 great video, far more interesting than some of the others.......felt like a bit of an ad campaign for Porsche but super enjoyable nonetheless....man, the cross country courses have gotten way more technical! good to see

 I'm a bit jealous of that physio.

 Wow!
What's not to love about Emily Batty!
Such a cool chick and a very fine racer as well;
she is so down to earth/normal/funny, and let's
not forget drop dead gorgeous!
Plus she drives a Porsche!
I love these Ambitions videos that she does, very well done!
Keep at it Emily...you will win a UCI World Cup race, it is in your future.

 It still surprises me how few people brake with their middle finger. I'm with her on this one. Braking with the middle finger gives you a wider grip on the handlebar (between the index and pinky) than you'd get with the more common index finger braking (a grip between middle finger and pinky). It does mean that you'll need to set your brakes more outboard and need the set reach further from the handlebar (or your index finger will get squeezed when you brake) but for me that's not an issue at all.

 Really enjoyed the video, what a super person!

 My old team mate Matt Opperman at 9:05! Solid dood and great wrench!

 That part of the video felt wrong... almost intentional wrong a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook/a> www.facebook.com

 keep your middle finger up, Emily !!!

 another enjoyable insight to the pro lifestyle - loving it

 How not every one , from our kind, would love this personality...

 One thing is for sure: MTB is shit for your hair.

 Porsche SUV's: cringe.

 Go Emily!!!

 lady, you a boss!

 Stay off the caffeine then hen.
