      @@dpaterson42 the coverage can't get any worse. There's no telemetry, no POV cameras, they don't tell us rider stats like age or where they were born. They never show a map of where the country/course is located/altitude.
      Even the pro riders admit the pits make the whole event feel grassroots. The sport isn't young but no one is capitalising. They definitely need an app with a countdown timer till the next event/livestream for riders and viewers

    Between Ben doing a huge percentage of the PinkBike videos, Running a DH Team aswell as racing, doing all the How To videos, and just everyday normal life. Ben is hands down the busiest dude on the track and the fact he's even getting the times he is, its nothing short of amazing. This whole series has been so well put together its insane. Huge love for the PB Racing team

    This was awesome! Pinkbike becoming the team for misfit toys who just had bad luck in the past and just need support both mechanically and emotionally to show their potential is the coolest guiding star for any team in sports right now. Hammer this even more next year with your rider choices and content, and you will have one of those shows even people who know nothing about biking will love to watch! Keep it up!

  • @aaronchyea
    @aaronchyea Год назад +22

    To know that Ben was managing the team while also racing himself shows me he was born to do this. DH racing in his blood.
    Very few people get me as hyped to ride as he does. A true ambassador for the sport, for both racers and non racers alike.

  • @Spitfire194
    @Spitfire194 Год назад +30

    My takeaway here is how compassionate Ben is and how he genuinely loves the sport and the people (his teammates) around him. I'm just a recreational rider on a Fatbike who loves to get out there, and it's people like Ben who continue to inspire young and OLD riders like me to do just that! I didn't know that you are married with kids buddy, but now I definitely can see it. You must be an awesome dad! From one dad (of four amazing kids... none of whom mountain bike.... sad...) , please continue to teach and inspire! As a retired educator with 35 years experience, I can identify a "true" teacher when I see one. You were meant to do this! Way to Leona! Go get it!

    Ben, watching this video I feel like I'm slowly beginning to realise how much I actually look up to you. Your attitude, your lightheartedness and yet your insane skills on the bike, the effort you put into your work in order to be involved with what you love as much as you can. Your commitment, the fact you have a family as well, and all that with a very healthy amount of humour and fun. I think I never really realised, despite how unlikely a figure you seem to be to be regarded a hero, in reality, you have grown to be a hero to me :). Thank you for just being out there and for being committed to the things you are committed to. You show me a mindset I wish to learn from

    Ben and the Pinkbike team have done an amazing job of capturing and sharing the spirit of mountain biking - having a laugh with your mates. Mainstream sports get so much money thrown in, "fun" is eliminated. It's only about winning. The vibe is so bad.
    Let's all hope mountain biking stays true to what makes it such a unique sport.
