He'll go back to his other hat when he films for his own channel.

Sure hope he's a permanent feature for inside the tape at the World Cup. Great commentary and gets along with the riders nicely in the moment. Aces!

More importantly, is that rock ok after bulldog smacked it?

digthehills (Aug 11, 2018 at 4:06)

Rumour is that it was taken to hospital for shock.

This Cathro has so much passion and does an amazing job of mixing together geeky analysis type stuff with rider interviews and very knowledgeable coverage. I really hope this continues, this type of coverage is super high end, thanks Ben and PB.

kungfupanda (Aug 10, 2018 at 19:39)

Good thing he rides clipped! If he had been on flats he would have crashed for sure! So, I'll be back in a few hours to see how this comment is doing.

watchmen (Aug 10, 2018 at 23:24)

I'm all dadadadada and not much ffffhhhhfff.

AlexS1 (Aug 10, 2018 at 21:52)

This is as interesting as the race itself.

MancAndy (Aug 11, 2018 at 3:43)

Minnaar's still the Don and Brook MacDonald is an absolute animal. Big crash and he just gets up and carries on.

callumandhisbike (Aug 11, 2018 at 4:52)

If that was me I'd still be on the floor now, Bulldogs as hard as a coffin nail

Setanimod (Aug 10, 2018 at 19:04)

Didn't pick up Minnaar for fantasy..thought he would be taking it easy this weekend, but apparently he is as healthy as a goat!

chelagroove (Aug 11, 2018 at 1:37)

Cathro is awesome! Really helped my own riding as an average weekend rider, to think about why you choose which line and how to take speed through things, it's great to add to my knowledge from experienced and genuine guy.

MindPatterns FL (Aug 11, 2018 at 0:14)

Loving this series! Besides all the tech talk and possible options to spend our hard earned money on, improving your riding skills is where it's really at.

Muckal (Aug 11, 2018 at 2:07)

If people accepted there riding was shit and spent time working on it instead of buying the most expensive stuff they would have a bigger gain. Since that's uncomfortable it doesn't happen very often unfortunately.

t1000 (Aug 11, 2018 at 6:53)

@Muckal: absolutely! I spent a bit on some lessons a few years back, made a huge difference for about the price of a good derailer. So far my best investment in mtb, by far!

DaMilkyBarKid (Aug 14, 2018 at 8:08)

@Muckal: I learnt that secret a few years ago, now have a coaching sessions every 3-4 months to check up on my technique. Has made a massive difference to not only my speed and what features I'm hitting but also how safely I'm riding. Good technique will help you avoid a lot of crashes, not all of them but it will help. I'd rather spend £1-200 on a few hours coaching than blow it on a new shiny trinket, bang for buck is so much better.

nealtidderswest (Aug 11, 2018 at 5:49)

Ben you're awesome as always, and well done PB for getting him on board. But I would like to know which monkey wrote the subtitles? They clearly don't understand the sport, or the english language.

joemoto FL (Aug 10, 2018 at 21:21)

Cathro's stuff is really good. Its a shame the Red Bull and UCI have no clue how to promote this sport.

silentbutdeadly (Aug 11, 2018 at 3:51)

My riding skills will not benefit from watching that but I learnt quite a bit about DH line choice at 10/10ths. Damn that was interesting...

nickvanberkel (Aug 10, 2018 at 19:33)

sick analysis again though cathro - dont mean to take away from the video

rockyflowtbay FL (Aug 10, 2018 at 20:40)

Killing it with the new hat! That better have been free from pinkbike. Great vids. Keep it up.

bigburd (Aug 11, 2018 at 1:12)

Make sure you go to Bens youtube page and give it a like !

dnbdude82 (Aug 11, 2018 at 15:54)

Yep love content like this. Stuff that actually helps me ride better. Nice work!

Streamstagram (Aug 11, 2018 at 0:28)

Cathro rules! Great stuff.

vic690 (Aug 11, 2018 at 2:11)

Cathrovision should be prime time on every national tv by law..

donpinpon29 (Aug 11, 2018 at 5:40)

Cathro we all have decided the intro sound for your videos should be caaasaathroooovisiiiiiiioooooooooaaaaaannnnn as system of a down innervision so go for it

rocketendo (Aug 11, 2018 at 14:56)

MInnaar is so good he just rips stumps out of the ground when he hucks while I just go arse over tea kettle.

lalientoxc (Aug 11, 2018 at 19:42)

You might think it would be boring but it’s actually more entertaining than novelas

nickvanberkel (Aug 10, 2018 at 19:30)

does nobody at pb notice that lower third is GIGANTIC

mountguitars (Aug 10, 2018 at 22:12)

I couldn't believe it was that entertaining. Keep this channel going.

jamesdippy (Aug 11, 2018 at 9:25)

Love it cathro keep em coming

Tarekith (Aug 11, 2018 at 10:56)

Please no more whistles....

gcrider FL (Aug 10, 2018 at 21:22)

Great vid. Keep them coming. I think a led video light would have helped and clipping the wistle noise down abit to would have made it 9/10 instead of 7.5/10 . Great content and presentation by Cathro.

DGThree (Aug 10, 2018 at 21:04)

PB, if you start editing out the whistles from the world cup practice vids, I’ll go buy more PB merch or whatever it takes.

brianpark FL Editor (Aug 10, 2018 at 22:07)

Weird, I've gotten immune to it. Something to work on!

gcrider FL (Aug 10, 2018 at 22:41)

Or just clip that frequency out or down a bit. A video light for the piece to camera shots would look good too . They are also cheap now for 95+ cri/tlci lights . @brianpark:

It's like a smoke alarm with a low battery beep.

bigburd (Aug 11, 2018 at 1:13)

I think the whistle adds to the feel of the vids, like you are actually track side amongst the chaos. Don't waste your time editing out whistles for the snow flakes

dwojo FL (Aug 11, 2018 at 1:24)

What do the whistles mean? Is it track clear?

Muckal (Aug 11, 2018 at 2:05)

@dwojo: it means a rider is coming through.

Session603 (Aug 11, 2018 at 2:05)

@dwojo: I have always wondered this.

donpinpon29 (Aug 11, 2018 at 2:07)

@dwojo: rider coming for people down below, I suposse

dingus (Aug 11, 2018 at 5:06)

@dwojo: It's to let the rocks and stumps know that they should say goodbye to their families.

PinkyScar (Aug 11, 2018 at 6:11)

The whistle is a signal from the photography 'spotter' that tells the camera person when to push the shutter button. It's how they get such great pictures.

Session603 (Aug 11, 2018 at 7:41)

@PinkyScar: good looking out P. Thank you

alexhyland (Aug 12, 2018 at 16:32)

@gcrider: a whistle is not far off a pure sine wave (so little overtones/harmonics), so cutting just at the root frequency would probably work pretty well. Cos only a very tight band would be cut it likely wouldn't affect sound quality noticeably.

I would try it if I could be arsed. But I can't.
