Ben Cathro is back breaking down all the lines of the Andorra world cup - especially for you! Aren't you lucky. Who is going to take the top honor today?
Top quality. That outside line Finn was hitting looks so slow until you compare it with the other racers side-by-side.
PB, this is about the best video series going on any MTB site- please keep Cathro on as a regular.
Love it. Coverage of the world cups just gets better and better with Cathros knowledge and Eliot’s nerdery. I find it quite hard to make much of it when there’s 4 screens (and I’m not a newb to wc world) but maybe it’s just my poor brain struggling to compute. Thought the line explanation with the arrows worked well. Looking forward to more of this stuff!
@tuberkulozis: On it! Just spaced out the cropped frames by 4 pixels to give a black bar effect. Easier than trying to add a black bar for each clip. Can just copy attributes for each comparison. Gone for double comparisons instead of 4 for future vids.
The next generation of DH riders is going to be different because of these videos. I always knew there were line choices and some of the general principles, but hearing it dissected has given me more concepts to work with. Thoughts that would never have come to mind are becoming known to the general public. Sure, we can't apply the concepts perfectly but they're now part of the equation in our brains. I can only imagine what that would have done to my riding I had been exposure earlier in life.
Nice video. I had a good look at this section today for masters. I settled on Finn line as it is much smoother from the middle of the line and carries more exit speed. Shame we are not turning right but going straight on onto all the permanently slippery rock to avoid the fun part of the WC track.
I'd like to see Cathro and/or Eliot come on as a second color commentator (with Rob still doing the play-by-play). As good as Claudio has been, both in previews and in the commentators' box, I certainly feel that someone a bit more nerdy with the details can certainly contribute.

Two clicks in AE or Premiere, if Catro dude is using something similar for his edits, and reads this comment
Thanks for the feedback!
