Best mtb skills and entertainment out there. Pb has a gem for sure. Love the series Ben

‘How to bike with Ben’ has became my favorite series. Clear and fun!

Two things: 1) I've definitely been realising of late that I need to be braver about getting my weight forward. It's helped hugely with my cornering, can't wait to try it with the steep rolls. 2) I love the comedy in these videos and Ben's willingness to take the mick out of himself!

Driving the legs down through the drop is a solid tip. Thanks

I've started going to the local pump track and it's amazing how much it helps with the timing on these features. You basically get unlimited reps on bringing your bike into your body coming up on a rise and pushing it away on the descent. The best kind of skills is the one that becomes second nature and you can concentrate on everything else that's happening around you.

Great tips, Ben! The graphics of seeing your head and torso staying in line while the bike follows the ground is awesome! Body position on the rollers makes perfect sense too so you can throw the front end down then the rear. You having fun while presenting his makes it all the better. I'd love to see you and Blake Samson get together on a tutorial! A ton of great advice and laughs for days!! Keep them coming!!

Looking forward to every one of these. Especially appreciate the ghosting of sections showing the wrong and right way. And the measurements/angles. Really puts things into perspective. Thanks!!!

You earned the thumbs up. Finding this series really useful. I'm analysing my own riding when out and about.

Having watched hundreds of technique videos.... this is far and away the best series I've seen. It's the slow mo right vs wrong demos that really give you the tools to implement, but you can actually trust the advice as you can see it in action. The braking in episode 5 is a game changer for me. To pitch back and move forward at the last second before releasing has seen me really make use of my powerful brakes. Ben is the perfect instructor.

Pinkbike do what you can to keep Ben on your team he's class

This is gold! I'm now feeling like in the Matrix with Ben uploading new software into my brain.

PB keeps getting better, they already kicked ass!!! Keep it up, but I still want more Levy, Kaz and Sarah. Awesome content 👍

Ben these videos are amazing, some may think that they are too long but for these type of skills but these videos are the perfect length and they are super clear and organized

Finally!! Best “how to mountain bike” video on RU-vid! This is what I needed as I just bought my first mountain bike, Transition Patrol 2019

YAAAAS, So Good, Thanks Ben!

I love this series. I had watched this last year and figured I was totally good on drops. I came back and watched again and realized I actually need to work on them again as I'm setting myself to get bucked off the bike. The vid on pumping is awesome too, I'm always reviewing that one. Thanks.

Will definitely apply this technique, 🤗

wow, i've learned something today. great stuff.

The best person for educaton,tnx

Congrats dude. Thanks for this video. I just started mountain biking and I found your video really enlightening.

Simply the best Ben!!! Been on a MTB for many years, but your vids improve my technique like no other.. Thanks for your time and effort!

Great video

This was awesome! Never tried using my legs to push the pedals down or back. CATHRO!!!

The Santacruz Bike looks amazing!! Totally the Dream for me Atleast, Cheers to the very well relaxing vid (and the bike)

God, I love these videos. The humor is unreal. That Microsoft Ben Error was too much. Cheers fellas.

love Cathro so good

As a newbie mountain biker these videos have really helped me to see how I can improve my skills. Thanks for doing them, just what I needed.

Ben, you're hilarious! Thanks man!

Awesome video. Beautifully illustrated technique in every example. I do all of this some of the time, but I usually just jump off kicky little jumps. Went to the bike park yesterday and played around with sucking up some of the little kickers. Way easier and less sketchy to go fast over them. Great tool to add to my riding!! Thanks so much Cathro.

As a very ‘non confident’ rider, I’m loving this series. Very helpful indeed.

You are basically "The Useless Trials" of MTB. The RU-vid MTB tutorial space has needed you so badly. Thank you so much.

Great video!

love the rock climbing footage !

I’ve been riding road bikes for the last 15 years and just now getting back into trail riding. You’re right, bikes have changed and techniques have changed. Thank you for your advice. Love following all your videos!

Very, very helpful. Especially for those, including me, who are not skilled enough in jumping gaps -- that squashing these while keeping my head steady with the same elevation is an eye-opener for me. Keep em coming please!

Love the vids, trying to get back into riding at 57, half way through a 3 mile trail, I am to tired and not able to keep the speed up to do much of anything, so I am a slow passenger on my own bike...slowly trying to learn all over again. Your videos are very helpful....Thanks

Ben's the man!
