@Zane92651 He may have just taken foot off because he was coming down really damn hard and threw a foot out incase he ate it :/

+ 1

robinkitchin (Jan 7, 2010 at 15:32)

Look at the position he is in in the fourth shot, and remember he was going proper fast when he hits the kicker, that is frickin commitment for a photo! Any mortal would be bailed off the bike, face feeling the cliff...Gee takes a dab!

+ 5

thegringo (Jan 7, 2010 at 17:41)

Agree'd,not that i do this type of thing, as i am, as you so rightly put it Rob,"A mortal"Ha-Ha.Don't get me wrong i've done my fair share of high drops and big gap's,but when you think that Gee is a World Champion Downhiller,it's hard to think were he gets the time to be one of the best,balls out free-riders in the world bar none.
Great shot Rob,from one of my favourite riders of all time,big statement but true,thanks again for giving us this corker of a shot,POD,every day of the week without doubt.Keep up the good work Rob.

RIDEDPTS (Jan 7, 2010 at 22:40)

Gee Atherton what a legend, where has he gone you don't see him on the freeride circuit or at whistler what happened to MBUK's prediction that he was fast becoming one of the best freeriders then he disappears gutted he was very good and still is!

kanioni (Jan 7, 2010 at 8:23)

When you look carefully, you see that he takes his left foot of the pedal when landing. But that still is a insane gap and Gee deservs all the respect of hitting that!

I'll leave the private massage...but thanks for the offer!! The shot is a simply a sequence photoshopped together - I was tracking slightly for sharpness so some blending required of the scenery in places to fit them all together. I didn't touch Gee though...

Go to this link, then on the "Media" drop down tab click "Videos" then look on the left and click the "Wall Ride" video. The jump is actually ALOT bigger then it looks in the pic as you'll see at the end...
