Morzine RAW!!! Riding Downhill Tracks on A Borrowed Trail Bike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I had a spare day between the Andorra and Les Gets world cups. I called in some favours, borrowed some kit and went for a play. Apologies if there's any swearing as I edited this real quick.

sometimes during world cup seson , we forget that cathro is a human rocket on a bike ...a borrowed bike ...on new tracks ..keeping up with top 20 DH racers ...on full rigs ....bravo ben
Made this reeeeeally quickly so apologies for any weird spots or swearing! 🤬
what height are you?
a solid wach none the less! making me stoked for mozine in aug..
I like abit of swearing it keeps things interesting
The reason your World Cup videos are so good is the same reason a quick riding edit like this is so good. It's your passion for mountain biking that comes through in everything you do. Glad we get to come along for the ride!
@@tehsimo I think he says 6ft7in in the Santa Cruz v10 new bike video. Can't be sure exactly but check that vid of his or wait for his official reply.
Best riding video I've seen in a long time from anyone! Very very good, should do more like this (not overly edited, just you riding)
100% agree, would love more of this!
its so easy to forget how good of a rider he is just because you don't see him ride often on this channel anymore
Ben cathro, the type of guy who makes an 800mm wide bar seem small.
I can see that bike in the shop window next week ‘ex demo, hardly ridden, never raced or ridden hard’
great video , it got REALLY good when you bumped into those Pivot dudes though #raw
This is mountain biking! More of this please on your channel, skill and speed with so much enthusiasm and no ego
This is by far one of the best morzine trail vids on UA-cam at the moment
WE NEED A BIKE CHECK OF YOUR MEGATOWER BEN!!!
THIS ONE ISN’T MINE!
@@BenCathro I think you should just get one, then :-)
Calling the Megatower a trail bike is pretty much understatement ;-)
Makes me want to go ride so badly watching this. Nice to see the pros making the same excited noises lol We're all just big kids!!!
This is why I love morzine ! Sick way to shred it Mr Cathro !!! Make me want to hit those steeps lines again.
I broke my collarbone watching this video!
You got some mad skills Cathro!! Very cool POV DH runs. Enjoyable to watch.
That looked like so much fun. Don’t think I’ve seen you riding so close to the edge. That bike aint brand new anymore!!
Total masterclass. Brilliant to watch - more of this please, raw style of edit is well guid 🙂
That was so loose. Those tracks are golden! Good video.
THAT LOAMY....THAT LOAMY!!! Lizard un-official track is one of my fav
Best video since a long time.
No slowmo
No blablabla
No "epic" blubb
Just riding, having fun, steep trails (i love the "hidden" tracks in Morzine)
Braaap! Ride on!
There’s Nothing to “Talk About” when the riding and the trails are doing all the talking!!!! Gawwwwd Damm Bro! Absolutely love it and STRIVE to make vids like this! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Was awesome to see Ben being so stoked while riding. The competition videos take away from Ben's energy and obviously don't leave much time for riding videos.
Great video. I like the minimal editing. It is just you and some mates out having fun on bikes. Your love of bikes come through. Same goes for your riding skills, amazing what a trail bike can do in the hands of the right person.
That was fucking sick - Perfectly capturing the vibe of big trains out there!
On that first part, you rode with amazing riders, Ben! Proper skilled!
No gloves nor knee pads and riding semi-blind(?)
That BK gap though. Nucking futs!
Mr Shred Cathro! Reckon I enjoyed that interlude almost as much as you did. And Brave Bernard’s bonkers jump... impressive.
That's a mental day out!! Ye boys are insane!! Great vid Ben.. 👍👍👌🇮🇪
A right old pinner Ben is! Man I need to brush up railing corners on my MT lol!
ahh man, broke my collarbone on piss lizard 1st day of the season and spent 10 days sat out there unable ride and now back home looking at 3 months off the bike and this has already got me pumped for next year.....
Fuck Yes! More of that please! Love all the race analysis that you do it’s always the best out there! But always love and look forward to your riding videos!
That was just phenomenal. You lads shred next level and then some. Loved it.
Soooooo good! The non-doctored video is real refreshing after so much post work from other UA-camrs. Thanks for that!
Cathro crushing it!
Incredible video Ben! Raw unpolished and totally rad. So wish I was out there right now even if that steep sh!t scared the bejeesus out of me even this end of the camera!
That was class am off to morzine for the 4th year on the bounce with my boy on saturday! so good to see all the stuff on the plenty i never new existed :)
Great video and fantastic riding !
Amazing raw ride edit. So natural and fun to watch !! Keep going !
Good to see you and the boys having fun
Freekin awesome video, made my day sat in the office in Inverness looking out at the clouds and drizzle.
Watching this and blasting Slayer at the same time. Perfect.
Awesome man ! I love the tracks up there ! Best mountainbiking area in the EU! Great riding man !
Welcome to Bental vision!
I think I held my breath for for most of this,
Sensational big man!
You are a utter beast! Keeping up with the boys on dh rigs, great vid!
OMG that’s live on the edge! How many times were you about to crash? Certanll you have skills. 👍🏻
That looks crazy fun and the bike is fresh btw
Awesome video cathro you was flying
Such a sick vid, you guys are tearing it up, gonna steal some of those off pistes 🙌🙌
Those trails and riding was so sick 🤘
Proper bike park hype going on in this one
One of the best MTB videos I`ve seen.....Brilliant its made my day........WTF...Coming out on the road with the waggon passing OMG hahaha
More of that in the future please! Quality vid!
Soooo Good!
Bernard Kerr is just insane. That gap was mental...
Ah, when i saw you heading into les gets at the end i though the big black run with the track gap at the start was coming up!
Lived in Morzine for 2.5 years. I had my time there but would be good to go back n shred for a few days!
Awesome video Ben, looking forward to the World Cup videos.
I was smiling all through the runs..
Morzine looks sick.. are there just random rogue trails/braids across "official" trails everywhere? Looks fun, they would never let that happen in Whistler they would close that stuff off immediately
Crazyness party!
What a video Ben!
Great video 👍👍
That Gladiator move...
How did the mega tower handle? Looks like it was more than capable on what could well have been full on downhill tracks... Not taking away some incredible riding by Ben that is!!!
Sick!! really enjoyed watching this
Here's your bike back 😂...its bedded in now! I can save money on a holiday now, I'll never ride it like that 🤘
Killer squad
This is quality 🤙🏻 looking at buying the MegaTower or a Stanton Switch9er FS, on the fence. Nice decision to have though eh!
Wild big guy awesome stuff 👌
This video is amazing!
fantastic riding!
Intense!
No way! Ollie gave you the mudhugger glasses?!
epic video! thanks
great video bud
Sick!
One of the best places on planet for low money. Massive trail network. But only 2month official summer season, what a shame!
this looks like way too much fun, shame I dont have anything close to this near me :/
i love morzine
7:20 We tall people are screwed in soo many ways. I've also noticed that some trails are being cleaned up, or when they're practically unsused, someone sometimes just improves tiny bits, but it never is a tall person :-) So if there is anoying branch or overgrown busches above my head, unless I cut it, they never get cut, cause they're non-issue for average height ppl.
Also we have plenty of locust trees and blacberries in Poland, and when a twig grows into the trail at height, most shorter frends will just scratch their clothes on the shoulder or miss it completely, while I get that barbwire to the elbow bend effect, or right accross the bicep. Hurts like hell especially at speed, then burns by salty sweat for the rest of the ride, then burns again under shower.
So yeah, ducking is essential skill for a tall person once you get tall ;-p 6foot 4 here
Make more vids from Morzine! So sick video!
😱 top skills lad, roll on DH 2020👊
Ah man. I need to go ride my bike now.
prestigious bunch to be riding with, :)
Still got it, Cathro!
More riding videos Cathro!
Awesome track and good riding on all borrowed material!
Ben, you're riding Shimano shifters on your own bikes don't you? 'Coz that's the one downside of the other ones, they are pretty sharp at the edge and point right at your thumb, especially when one is used to ride XTR or XT.
Flo33
that was a amazing vid keep it up dude!
Ben, were you talking about the gap at 10:25 ?
That one claimed my right collarbone and changed the course of 2017. Bad memories lol
If I were to show someone what mountain biking is, I would show them this video
Well this was great
banging video ben, if i could give it more likes i would
Top riding... So many memories of being away with the boys riding there... Speed tucking on the road always a laugh.
Hey Ben! What size was this megatower? How did you like it? Would you go for XXL ?
pleny 😍😍😍
Awsome vid would of come earlyer but i was at school
sweet vid. I would love to see follow up cam similar to vid from Pinned TV from 1 week ago
Sickest vid
🤘🤘
Unreal. When's the next boat to France?
More videos like this Ben
4:30 did you just roost some hikers?
This looks really fun!
Are those super loamy steep trails on the maps? They look so good for a bikepark
