  • Going into her last year of racing Juniors, Aimi Kenyon has her eyes set on her home race in Fort William, Scotland. However, a crash from the 2022 season has left her struggling with post-concussion symptoms and unable to train during the majority of the off season. Can Aimi get back up to race pace and take home the World Champs win in front of her hometown crowd?

      Don't forget the Mulally brother's series for the Frameworks bike development and builds. Not only fascinating building a bike brand but Logan's video producing make it all the better. Fortunate time to like watching MTB content for sure.

    Maybe it's because I've been riding since the late 80s and am older and wiser now but it's this type of storytelling that captivates me the most about MTB and sport in general. This past year in women's DH particularly was just special with Marine, Tahnee, and Ami making returns from horrible circumstances to overcome and get back at the pointy end. Warriors!!!

    I shed a tear in the end because I felt it right in the heart. I love this series and everything about it. You don’t just show the usual shallow stuff which we can find basically everywhere, you go deeper than that and we get to see all of you people involved in this and the amount of effort you put into this. And Aimi, she is kicking butt and taking names. 😁 What a champ, and you Ben, great mentor. I just find it interesting to see the young ones that are gonna take this thing forward into a bright and positive future, albeit with a few bumps here and there.

    I look at Aimi and I see distilled into one person what it means to be young and have your whole life ahead of you. I don't care if Aimi ever wins a race I just want her to have as rich and as fulfilled a life as possible. As someone in the middle of their life with the hindsight of age it's really the lens I see young people through.

    @maxknechtel4071 11 месяцев назад +2

    It's kinda hard to not become all touchy-feely here, what with a young person's dreams on the line.. it was great to see the change in Aimi's eyes when she got back on track. The difference between her riding back when the series started and now is staggering.
    Also, i love when Ben is his silly self (arguably the best self one can be) but it's really cool to see him thrive in a mentoring role too.
    I'm searching for a point to make here but i guess i just like what you guys do. Please keep doing it and sharing it.

    Aimi's riding so well - really hitting the jumps! That's a really solid year after that bad a concussion, Tahnee's had her share of ups and downs coming back. As much as I enjoyed the episode (as the first season), I don't agree with the title... I don't think it will be next year, but also don't think that was the "Last Chance..." And, Aimi, for the pressure you feel, we will only ever feel disappointed for you, never by you, just keep having fun!

  • @Ricobonito1
    @Ricobonito1 10 месяцев назад

    Got me lumpy throat and tears right before the end..
    It felt like I was there beside Aimi.. I want to comfort her but can't...
    Like an invisible person watching and feeling all her struggles, witnessing her fight and listening to her hopes..
    Perhaps because of my younger sister.
    Ahh... Life challenges came knocking at her door, absolutely huge one at her age.. but she faced it not with force but embraced it with courage, strength and grace.
    Aimi you're hero to many young girls out there.
    Thank you for being an inspiring person.
    As you have said "She's still got it."
    Thank you Ben and team.
    Honest, down to earth, awe-inspiring, cinematic, fun, mtb channel ever! 🎉

    The Whole team is Sick, the video is sick every thing is sick. For some reason I personally feel this series connects with me more than many of the other youtube series out there from any one. Some of the Vlogs are cool but you still don't get that same emotional attachment. For someone who has taken a step back from MTB due to a potential life changing crash earlier in the year. These short films still keep me excited about riding.
    Well done every one, keep erm coming.

    In the world of racing, you are judged by where you finish. In Life you will be judged by others for your accomplishments. There is an old saying "Don't judge another till you've walked a mile in their shoes". The world we live in judges by wins and losses. We must not judge ourselves by these standards. We must go out and do the best we can each and every day. If you do this, you can look in the mirror and say you did your best. What others may think or say should not matter to us. Outstanding job Aimi

    Well done for keeping going. I was hit by a car on my bike in 1990 (drivers fault), smashed left ankle, 2 screws, absolute agony, 7 months off work. First day back to work on my new bike, hit by another car, you couldn't make it up! I wasn't hurt that time thankfully but I then bought a car and sold the bike, far too scared of bikes ever since. At least you have the will to carry on and fight for what you want. Keep going Aimi, you have the strength, the support and the will to succeed. Don't give up like I did, the regret will haunt you for life if you give up. Only do it if you want to though, do it for you and only you.
