In this episode of TWIL I learned to ride a downhill bike faster. I set my milestone at taking 10 seconds of my time.

that trail is weak
Awesome mike
He uses the same intro as wattles
I love mountain biking and I’m nearly at the point of going pro
I am No mtb expert nor do I claim to be one. As far as I can see that is a xc bike, i think with a trail bike (more agressive angles + longer) would take of Even more time. If Any expert-like mtb riders agree or disagree, feel free to let me know :)
When you said ive got a coach i thought that you were talking about eric porter or seths bike hacks
Ben cathro is the Host of walk the talk at pinkbike so I think he had been hooked up as best as possible
Does anyone know what the background song at 11:30 is called
how-what- wh- this dude- an amazing dude-but not a super genius- just- what-
Ha he even did it on a shirt travel trail bike
lads can still beat getting over it with bennet foddy faster
Ben be a solid foot taller lmao
genial. bravo mike !!
Btw your bike is not a dh bike
Hey mike what are your hobbies Mike: Yes
This is easily the most rewatchable Mike Boyd video.
I'm 16 Ans I just started mountain biking
If you're a dad i cant believe how much things u will be able to teach your son/daughter
Same i also enjoy biking ALOT!
I like the speed run energy of just wanting a sub 2 because it’s a sub 2 lol
he needs to do this again with a dh bike
0:08 how old is he (subtitle).
1516
Irish guys seem very friendly.
You look awesome
The shit bike
I dropped 6000 bucks into a GT Fury Carbon a few years ago just for this. It’s fun but I’ve broken 10 bones with 3 concussions.!!Be careful Felisa.
Your last run was sick bro good job!! Downhill is hard!!
Regular riding is just too boring see my post below though.
I feel ya bro I have been doing downhill for a few years. I still suck at turns. I’ve been off the bike for 5 weeks due to a bad concussion and 3 herniated disk in my neck from wiping out at Windrock TN. I’m aliotle afraid because every time you hit your head it’s longer and longer to recovery. So when I hit a big jump I will be scared because the head injuries been rough with nausea and memory loss. It comes with risk. It’s not for everybody.
I think it is enduro not downhill, but still good job :)
This was a cathartic, beautiful experience to watch. The determination, buildup, and iteration were great to see in action.
without 200mm fox suspension?
Downhill MTB-ing isnt hard where i live my trails are boring
What song have you used?
Ben is the sweetest and humblest professional ever!
This guy is seriously the fastest learner i have seen on yt
8:33 miss i something??
8:36 lol forgot to edit time in
When he said 10 seconds, i thought he meant mike could get his time ten seconds, not down by 10 seconds lmao
Y he so big tho
6:18 please someone tell me what this song is
who else thinks that a collaboration is a great idea???
Anyone wanting to get fasting the best thing you can do is brake before you go into a turn and let go of the brake as you leave to turn.
This is my favorite sport ever!!!
6:20 what's the name of the song? 😍
@Екатерина Рудашевская no problem!
@Joey Starr Thank you!!
@Jack Wilson I actually just found it from another comment. It's 'Fifteen' by Aldenmark Niklasson :)
Joey Starr i thought it was the strokes too, but no clue
Same! Sounds like it's by the strokes but not 100% sure
6:19 Song: Fifteen - Aldenmark Niklasson
Did anyone realize that Mike Boyd’s initials are mb mountain bike
Shut your mouth
This is enduro bike but it doesn't matter
"everything you said, i just didn't listen to it." This is me when anybody is trying to teach me something and then I try ut myself
Ok, its either ben is very tall or mike is very short
Now you gotta beat Ben's time
Cracking video pal!
Great vid but the trail at the start doesn't look like a black to me
i hate when a trail has grass in it
No offense I love this channel but you technically already knew how to downhill mountain bike you just got better.
What's the song at 6:18??
Can we get a new cycling video? Even a dirtbike video would be great!
bro everytime i watch these videos, he always manages to put a smile on my face :)
0:30, is the Wattles intro song! Go check him out, just type in "Wattles". He does Minecraft videos
I wish i had an nice mtb bike I have nyx bike that cant take 2 meter jumps Its holding me back Help ;_;
lvworld.info/face/video/rK-poYjAnsuokcg
3:57 all of the freeriders are about to get triggered
I thought ben was a statue no joke at the start
Guys, as a fairly advanced downhill mountain biker I would like to say, and fellow bikers tell me if I’m wrong, that what he’s saying while he’s riding is exactly what all mountain bikers are thinking.
And thats how I fractured both my arms..
Now this goes to show that with the right mind set, you can achieve anything
More commitment! *crashes* Less commitment!
This really makes me want to get back into biking.
Where is all my mountain bikers at
Becoming you is the only aim i have.
smol.
I did this in Jackson Wyoming down ski slopes it was so fun
How US cops see citizens: 0:45
he used wattles intro
F
6:29 More commitment! 5 seconds later Less commitment!
Everybody gangsta 'til da Ben starts vloggin'
At first I thought they meant Mike could finish the run in 10 seconds
downhill isnt too hard uphill is hard
I can do all this on my Hardtail and it is not the best Hardtail
Pretty sure thats downhill biking
To be fair that is definitely no a black trail I've done stuff harder than that on my hard tail
You don't realise how much time he shaved off unless you count 23 seconds Try it and apriciate what he did
It would be awesome to see you combine this challenge with your unicycle challenge. Mountain Unicycling is a ton of fun! It's the same thing as the mountain bike just minus the brakes, suspension, gears, and a wheel (some "Muni's" as they're called, come with brakes and/ or gears; you can get handlebars too, but a pure unicycle is cheaper and more challenging). A good milestone might be to complete this trail without falling off. I hope to see you give it a shot sometime!
Love to see him get so excited
Who else thought of the gamer wattles when they heard the first music play??
Any one notice the wattles intro music at the beginning
I want to learn this
Irl speedrunning
does anyone know the background music near the end of the video?
Title: This Week I Learned Downhill Mountain Biking GMBN: Where's the dual crown forks and that's a trail bike
Thats the Mike that we want
You should learn how to dirt biking and maybe a tail whip
Not to hurt anybody but this is NOT downhill mountain biking.
Don't get lost in the numbers.
What's the song at 7:10?
Mike: “Get a free trail of either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro” Me: *Laughs in Davinci Resolve*
Snowboarding plz
Couch at 14:00 "Am i a joke to you?"
personally i would have started with a hard tail then switch to a full suspension it helps a lot but that was great.
Can I just say this is more enduro mountain biking rather than downhill
