Cathro's ability to demonstrate bad technique is second to none. It takes incredible skill to look that bad!

New cathro video = essential viewing once more 👌

I love this. There are so many how-to videos out there, but showing examples and working through it is so helpful. Could be a new series?? Where people submit their clips and you comment on them and talk us through it?

The first time I ever cased was in the traditional sense - on a motocross bike in the late 1980's (acutally had a 1986 Spesh Rockhopper back then as mtb was kinda a new thing to get my dirt bike jones satified). I'd been eyeing up the big triple all season long, as I'd normally double the first two and jump the last separately, only to get passed by someone doing the triple and zipping right past me every lap. So, on the next lap, I vowed to click up a gear out of the berm before the triple and gave it the full beans. Right as my front wheel left the lip, the two stroke KX125's power-valve opened causing the bike to rocket skyward into a classic flying-W for made it to the last jump, but 50/50 cased it hard, leading me to cartwheel OTB - my bike was nice enough to catch me between the fender and buzzsawing rear tire, then cartwheel down the track - it was a bit ouch. So, the next time you casually case a jump on your mtb, realize that it can always get a helluvah lot worse!!!! PS - my wife is a lawyer, and gets me out of all my cases these days.

Interesting fact. I built that blackboard on the decking of the emergency accomodation we were in after our house flooded. #BTSFacts #TheMoreYouKnow

I know Cathro at one time had his own channel, and came to PB but man, I still think Cathro would have a huge solo channel.

[tajgi]

[Yugeen]

[timgrant]

Ah this is the good stuff.Back to fun and informative in typical Cathro/sleeperstyle.

I laughed the whole way through this vid, thank you Ben and pinkbike ✌️🥰

[beno]

Yes Ben, on the Deviate! Those stem spacers and high rise bars though. If they change anything, it's that stack height! :)

[TheLeesto]

i dont know of anyone else putting out videos with equal parts humor and good instruction. also what you did to that bike at the end of the vid was straight up criminal

[darnokregrer]

14:30 had me in stiches!

"Glenn, is it like 20?"
"Hehe, actually it's more like 5"
"...yeah, it's like 25" 😂😂😂

[zwingler]

Absolutely, i think learning to case safely is even more important than learning to clear stuff.
