I remember when I was 9 and I was looking up to Aimi thinking that I want to be where she is when I am her age. Now at 13 I am looking up to her thinking if she can do this I can do it aswell. It is amazing to see Aimi racing World Cups.
My unconditional love for Cathro aside, the video team knocked this out of the park. A beautiful story, beautifully told. Thanks for bringing us along.
1. Best intro to a Downhill video ever! 2. Fantastic effort from all involved. 3. Aimi you're a very talented young lady and I predict a Bright future for you. I met your dad when he was out repairing one of the trails near Inverness 😉and I bet he's bursting with pride. You're already inspiring my 7yr old daughter!. All the best.
Fort William this year the crowd went crazy for Ben I’ve been a few years now and that was right up there with the loudest I’ve ever heard a crowd it hurt. Congrats Ben hats off to everything you’ve achieved
Love the story and the whole thing. Cathro and Henry are both awesome but going through Aimi's first ever DH and watching the process, coaching and overall support, great job to all involved. Can wait to see the rest of the episodes as the year progresses.
Rad to see this humble girl just going at it! She should be god damn proud of herself! i would beat my ass if i just tried to walk in that track! Great job all you guys!
I couldn't believe that. Although I guess I don't know how many people are in that division. It must be junior division right? Either way an amazing result
Ben, you're the perfect person to do this series. You're relationship with Aimi, will be great for her. Great first episode! And I almost forgot. Having Henry there for a new team is a great benefit.
What an epic first episode, I liked how it was focused on Aimi. Here professionalism is astonishing for such a young rider. What a nice way to document a young riders first World Cup, especially cool to see first hand what it’s like for a young women get into the sport, I hope this encourages more girls to see Downhill as sport worth trying. So much need for more competitive women in DH.
This is honestly the greatest biking video series ever made! Has a very formula one survive the drive vibe which is super fun and dramatic and exciting. I would love to see an entire series like this covering more teams.
Brilliant from Cathro, Max and co again. This is going to be great. I did not expect to be teary watching it. Guess that's what happens when you have kids of your own.
Cathro's the right person for this adventure; not OTT narrative but genuine mtbing insider detail. Like everyone else - can't wait for more of it! Oh, and yeah, what a start for the young lass from Scotland! Tumeke (Māori for awesome...I think/hope!)
Totally absorbing, can't believe that was 20mins long! Beautifully put together by Max as always. Fort Bill episode is going to be an emotional roller coaster!!
I've been following Ben since his privateer days. And now this. Sweet. Family had grown bigger. I'm sure this would be another epic, fun, down to earth, honest mtb journey. Thank you PB.
SUPERB Vid !! Ben, you are a super coach, (and rider, of course) Aimi, WHAT a tuff young lass you are, always love and support a motox/mtb girl, just brilliant.
This is just superbly done on all fronts. The storytelling, the people involved, the shooting/editing/color. Looking forward to more. And Aimi's hardcore.
Sport and commitment are wonderful. MTB downhill is wonderful. Aimi makes all these elements even more wonderful. Thanks and congratulations for this excellent video.
A great video that captures the allure of downhill racing. A sport I was fortunate to participate in for a number of years and now happy to watch from the sidelines (although I do still enjoy the occasional bike park session). Considering the junior coverage is so minimal, it's really awesome to see the race from Aimi's perspective. Well done!
Yeah we really need to see the juniors race feed as well, would be great. Not sure but hopefully Discovery will enhance and not destroy the racing, the lure of money makes people behave shite sometimes. That said what an inspiring story told well, very relatable, now i just gotta learn to hit that little jump, and get in me head the big jump, just needs a bit more speed, and a bit of butt clenching
Massive respect to this young lady, it breaks my heart to see young girls (and boys) wasting their lives on tik tok and stuff. This is living life, a role model for young people.
Heavy environment for a teen. She looks like she has a lot of courage and strength. I bet Kenyon will be a name to remember. Can't wait to see her shred!
love ben and got so much support for this team. ngl I'm 25 been riding for 3 years and still haven't got over jumping bigger stuff. race BNES events and its a skill I really need to get down. inspiring to say the least.
Really enjoyed this. It's always cool to see behind the scenes on the World Cup, but especially with someone as fun and insightful as Ben. Will definitely be watching all of this series. Cheers!
Congratulations to Aimi for her first world cup! That kind of crash is definitely not confidence inspiring, especially on such a gnarly track and she crushed it! Very nice to see :)

That intro is the best 90 second description of World Cup DH racing ever spoken.
🙏
Choose DH
Truth!!! Couldn't agree more!!
Nice🤟🤟🤟🤜🤛
Agree. Brilliantly put together.
I remember when I was 9 and I was looking up to Aimi thinking that I want to be where she is when I am her age. Now at 13 I am looking up to her thinking if she can do this I can do it aswell. It is amazing to see Aimi racing World Cups.
If you want to do something enough, you will do it.
Can't wait to see you at a world cup too. You can do it.
❤️❤️
My unconditional love for Cathro aside, the video team knocked this out of the park. A beautiful story, beautifully told. Thanks for bringing us along.
Cathro's ride series got me going again. Great to see him coaching up the younger racers!
1. Best intro to a Downhill video ever!
2. Fantastic effort from all involved.
3. Aimi you're a very talented young lady and I predict a Bright future for you. I met your dad when he was out repairing one of the trails near Inverness 😉and I bet he's bursting with pride. You're already inspiring my 7yr old daughter!. All the best.
Will be following 👍, give it heaps and enjoy.

Downhill should pay you money for the first minute. Best sale ever.
Honestly, taking someone who barely jumps to *Lourdes* seemed too much. But 9th?? Holy crap! (And Ben's intro is *the best*.)
I couldn't believe that. Although I guess I don't know how many people are in that division. It must be junior division right? Either way an amazing result

16:59 that‘s the most beautiful flight i ve ever seen. It‘s like a Boeing 787 in final approach. Great girl
My favorite part of the whole video was seeing Amy’s progression. She did awesome! How could Cathro not shed a tear?! Well done Amy!!
This is honestly the greatest biking video series ever made! Has a very formula one survive the drive vibe which is super fun and dramatic and exciting. I would love to see an entire series like this covering more teams.
Such a mature head on Aimi, but yet all the joy of a teenager doing what she enjoys most. It gives me hope.
This is amazing. Cathro’s intro alone, what a masterpiece. Looking forward to next episode!
That's the beauty of media company owning a racing team. Quality of content is just remarkable.
Excellent production quality and it'll be great to see Aimi's progress
What an incredible young woman. Best of luck for the rest of the season
Amy is a hero !
You can see how much Ben cares what a dude man.
Very much looking forward to the rest of this series !!
Brilliant from Cathro, Max and co again. This is going to be great. I did not expect to be teary watching it. Guess that's what happens when you have kids of your own.
Amazing episode. I was riveted, and as a father of a daughter close to Aimi's age, I was also nervous and terrified for her. Bravo!
Cathro's the right person for this adventure; not OTT narrative but genuine mtbing insider detail. Like everyone else - can't wait for more of it! Oh, and yeah, what a start for the young lass from Scotland! Tumeke (Māori for awesome...I think/hope!)
One of the best downhill videos I seen.
Totally absorbing, can't believe that was 20mins long! Beautifully put together by Max as always. Fort Bill episode is going to be an emotional roller coaster!!
Well done Aimi! Look forward to seeing your future races.
Is err, someone cutting onions somewhere?
Seriously great film, props to Max for constructing a great narrative 💪🏻
First World Cup race and bagging 9th place? Now that is amazing.
Her result in fort william was even more impressive, don't wanna spoil it if you wanna look it up ypurself or smth tho
I had a blast working on this! Great work by all involved.
Bravo! What a great first video in the series. Watching Aimi’s journey at her first World Cup was so inspiring and genuine. Keep up the great work!
This has the potential to be the best ever video series to come out of Pinkbike.
Tears of joy watching that. Brill team dudes.
some of the best mtb content i've seen yet. Cathro and this whole project is gold.
Damn this series is going to be epic! Aimi we're rooting for you and looking forward to your rise in the furure. Best of luck to the team.
Awesome job being the support and leader @bencathro definitely the parent in you is coming out. Sick job!!
I've been following Ben since his privateer days. And now this. Sweet. Family had grown bigger. I'm sure this would be another epic, fun, down to earth, honest mtb journey. Thank you PB.

Brilliant and so happy for Aimi she seems to have a good attitude for racing
What an amazing story and talent Aimi is! Good job!
What a great video! Congrats to Amy for a top 10 in her first WC, nicely done! Congrats to you as well coach Ben.
Ben truly is an ambassador for the sport. The knowledge, passion and excitement are second to none.
This puts so much humanity between all the gear stuff, competition and the too serious racers out there!!!
This is pure gold! Love it already. Kudos for Cathro, all team members and Pinkbike 👏👍👌💪
This series just begun and I already love it!
Wow, I'm hooked. Exceptionally great work on this episode PB Team!
This episode gave ALL the feels.

That is such a well put together video. Great edit, fantastic story and some wonderful characters. I hadn't planned to watch it all but I was riveted.
So cool to see Aimi‘s journey and how she progresses. Awesome video
This is just superbly done on all fronts. The storytelling, the people involved, the shooting/editing/color. Looking forward to more. And Aimi's hardcore.
Sport and commitment are wonderful. MTB downhill is wonderful. Aimi makes all these elements even more wonderful. Thanks and congratulations for this excellent video.
Cool to see Henry out there living the dream after GMBN.
A great video that captures the allure of downhill racing. A sport I was fortunate to participate in for a number of years and now happy to watch from the sidelines (although I do still enjoy the occasional bike park session).
Considering the junior coverage is so minimal, it's really awesome to see the race from Aimi's perspective.

Just getting through the intro deserved a like 👍
Awesome video! Can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Massive respect to this young lady, it breaks my heart to see young girls (and boys) wasting their lives on tik tok and stuff. This is living life, a role model for young people.

This made me want to ride!
Great video looking forward to Ep2.

The editing of this whole feature is just so so giiiiid. Well done, you tallented people!

7:00 that was so awesome to see her fly! Well done!
Really enjoyed this. It's always cool to see behind the scenes on the World Cup, but especially with someone as fun and insightful as Ben. Will definitely be watching all of this series. Cheers!
That intro to what DH Mountain Biking is summed it up perfectly.
Awesome story telling… I was completely absorbed. Awesome job!
Congratulations to Aimi for her first world cup! That kind of crash is definitely not confidence inspiring, especially on such a gnarly track and she crushed it! Very nice to see :)
Great video and concept. It was easy to relate to being intimidated by big jumps! That was a very fast progression.
Oh man, 4 minutes in and I’m already super stoked and can’t wait till next episode(s)!!🤣🤣🤪🤪
