Let's find out well, let's meet our professional. Ben Castle is the boss of the pink downhill bike. Racing team and he is a video producer and World Cup downhill

racer

, his racing accolades speak for themselves, what is most relevant to this challenge, however, is his height. Ben is six foot seven, to be exact, which makes it very difficult for Kim to frame these shots. Without making myself look ridiculous, I told him to just show up and prepare to be humiliated. He had no idea what was in store. Let's go show Ben his bike. I can't use my bike.

I can't use your bike. Why did I bring her? and just for such genuine beauty shots for the viewers, I have no idea where it is, it looks

small

, no way I used to ride one of these, I actually had one of these, it was a little bigger and it's a size 14. For 14 years. We didn't do small, medium, large, small, but that's 14 inches and that's how big it is, yeah, it's like a shorter fruit, it's a genuine Catherine fish, it spins around, so have you ever ridden an orange before? Yeah, I used to ride for Orange um. in 2011 when this bike came out, yes I rode for Orange, did you ever like to place the

cup top 10 on a bow, potentially you've done some research, so do you want some outings?

Yeah give me some stats this is a 2011 orange 5. the trail bike of this day but its day was a long time ago since then we have gone through not one but two increases in wheel size and the bikes have lasted much longer do you want to hear what the range is? 390 yes 390 millimeters is really really sharp by modern standards most manufacturers would call this an extra extra small Catherine rides up to an extra extra large that's my nipple so they are surprisingly six

sizes

smaller than what he was used to it, even to me this bike feels like a toy compared to my Highlander drift it's also very old and well it's had a round of hard paper let's just say the Blues forks basically don't work. 10 years of hard work never served the team.

Skip and it doesn't have tubeless tires, so we are running them at almost 40. PSI, the bars are less than 700 millimeters wide, but the shock is fairly new, something that worries me. Ben seemed at home with his new toy bike right away. It doesn't seem as small as he thought. I like this bike. It's like a BMX. A couple things are allowed, okay, I'll take them out of the van to keep things reasonable. Ben was allowed as long as he liked to use Fetter on the bike with my basic tool kit, so where are your Allen wrenches?
Are they just the ones that? They are just scattered everywhere and different shelves duct tape some rusty pliers. I'm not sure what we're on to be honest, so he put 10 psi on shock and said okay, yeah, I'll run it, gesture brakes now. feel good, let's hit the trails, here's the script, fastest time to hell wins. I, the newbie who has been cycling for 15 years, get my own bike and get to choose the track. Ben, the pro, gets the orange Teeny and a practice run. The winner receives the sweet soccer trophy, which is all they had in stock since I know the track.
I told Ben he could follow me for his only practice run. He laughed as expected. Ben looks outrageous but surprisingly controlled in this footage, it looks like I'm actually walking away from the bed. Could this be the day I finally reach the upper echelons of cycling? Oh, okay, yeah, it's a little twisted, it's not twisted, but then there are moments like this and it's easier to make mistakes than this, yeah, it's very edgy, but. It's actually really funny because I feel like it's exciting, you know, when people talk about writing and riding bikes, this is about us under the bikes and you're like I'm behind you, well, yeah, but yeah , I feel like I can go fast, uh, it's how many mistakes I make, yeah, it's the right time for racing.
I was first and I felt confident and here we go. I've been racing this track all season and well, it's my favorite track. I'm riding a 29er with a high pivot which is like butter compared to what Ben has a couple of spicy pedal strokes which look pretty clean and tidy, no drama so far. Here you can see me being a little rough in this corner, coming in a little rough and losing a lot of speed having to put on a couple of pedals here to get that back and that lack of speed is carrying over to this section which looks very slow, oh dear, okay as we get into the road section things get a little more technical and this is where I think I'll have the advantage over Ben and hopefully I can save some time.
Here's that tricky curve that always bothers me. Yes, it was quite complicated. However, now we are at my favorite part of the track. very open section, this is where I think I'm fastest and where the big bike will definitely help me get up into the trees. Here I still think I have the advantage because I have big wheels that allow me to pedal over this thick terrain. There are better things than bending those little 26-inch wheels. Overall, I'm pretty happy with us. We made some mistakes, but nothing to write home about. I'll take it at the right time for the big man on the Wii bike and, uh, Catherine doesn't feel insecure.
I think so. I think Mike could take it, yeah it's scary and Kathro's gone and he looks ridiculous pumping those little wheels on the ground looking smooth. Curiously, he didn't pedal out of that corner where I was probably carrying enough speed as he was doing. this bike works for him anyway, he looks a lot smoother than me but smooth isn't always fast only the split will tell and holy macro he's four seconds up after the first split watch him move around Of these connies that pull that little bicycle. fighting for grip here with those little wheels jumping over the roots to find it and carrying good speed over the road oh it's really opening up here look look at this oh it's loosening up a little bit there and look at that corner it just hits it for there like nothing and has extended his lead to over five seconds here as we get into the burnout section.
I have noticed that Catherine pedals much less than me and she carries much more speed in the corners that she does not need to increase in the middle. and that looks tough on that little bike, but he holds it well, we're in the tight section now let's see who gets on, oh, jump down that route into the bend, they're very nice and he's stepping on the gas here, he's looking for a Beat Catherine or Stormer here unless she made a mistake and crossed the line, she really must have pushed that bomb section one minute, 41 seconds, 16 seconds faster than me, okay, we'll compare the time and the second with a one minute time, Mike. castle with one minute and 42 seconds, so there we have it even hampered by a bike that fits so poorly on a decade-plus cathol I still smoked the pre-production mechanical components, the carbon and titanium, they are only there to save milliseconds in the World Cup what separates us, the normal ones, from the World Cup runners are the years of training, crashes, racing practice that they have behind them.
There are levels to this game because of the way Catherine did another run on her new Mega Tower just for fun and took down another one. 12 seconds into that time, the Black Friday Daily Puzzle Sale is live right now and ends Tuesday, November 29, which means there's a sitewide 25 off everything.
