 That last shout was fuckin prime!

 Looking at how Commencal have changed over the last few years, I predict huge improvements for GT in the future.

 4 minutes to VOD

 dammit!

 I thought he would say the Fury is much more lighter than the Supreme Big Grin
  • + 5
 Interesting to see he's ditched the neck brace and gone for the big moto helmet despite his brothers injury...
  • + 1
 He shreds that corner so hard at 1:37!
  • + 1
 in 20 hours theres 67 comments(68 now) and 45,262 views = new vid from larock

 It doesnt matter what bike Gee is on, he's going to kick A$$ and take names
  • + 1
 nice but first ride? really? I bloody doubt it, first ride for the camera, yes. Let's just see how the first couple of races go eh.
  • + 2
 the guy is nuts!!! damn look at him go!!! :-P

 "When race season comes around... it'll look much better"
  • + 3
 i counted 18 "you knows" in that video! no, actually, i dont know!
  • + 20
 Solid vid, I liked that it was narrated throughout. Nice change of pace and you get to hear Gee's insight, even if it is mostly GT advertising. And it featured my home trails (WOOOOOT Telonix! SoCal!). Larock is like the pizza guy, delivers every time.

 lol Gee needs a british bacon sponsor!
  • + 7
 zaks and charlies video was better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but this was still sick
  • + 2
 ya I'm waiting for that thing to get vod
  • + 4
 Wow i was just mind fucked .. Partly cause i live right around the corner from these trails and partly cause gee just shredded telonics with absolutle flow and some prime riding... Oh myy gee
  • + 2
 Look at what he does at 2:03. That's a good 40 feet off a 2 foot rock
  • + 4
 I wish it didnt look like he just hopped off a dirtbike with the new gear... MTB has its own style and their new gear doesnt fit it. Hopefully they come out with some gear with more of a MTB feel to it.
  • - 1
 Don't know what your on about, how would you make his gear look more MTB?
  • + 6
 im soo stoked to live 5 minutes from all this spots. Telonics!!
  • + 5
 Hopefully there will be another series of The Atherton Project!
  • + 4
 all I could think about through the entire video was Lana Del Rey's lips.....
  • + 5
 2:02.....good lord, the speed and flow needed to jump that far is insane
  • + 1
 Looks to be at home on that thing. Should be a good season, just don't like the moto style helmets, they look faar too bulky, but maybe he feels he needs that extra protection with the speeds these guys are hitting nowadays, guess it's his call.
  • + 4
 Gee is one of the best ! But his Helmet is one of the biggest ! :-)
  • + 4
 A real version! Thank god SOPA has backed down a little. Gee kills it btw.
  • + 3

 He live to eat those words - literally. I'm sure he'll be besieged with British bacon now at the events by everyone! I'll get him a slice!
  • + 2

  • + 2
 That is some quality advertising. It made me want to buy all the products he's running, but I can't afford any of them.
  • + 2
 Amazing filming and truly beautiful riding! Larock once again exceeds expectations!
  • + 1
 Its good to see that Gee is happy with his bike and it sounds once he gets the bike dialed HE'S GOING TO GET BACK TO KILLIN IT!!!!! CONGRATS

 He just became my fav wc rider this reay with that bacon comment.
  • + 1
 Year, not reay. Jesus i also just realized i'm dyslexic. Thanks gee...
  • + 1
 Nice combination ! atherton/gt ftw !
  • + 0
 he looks really awkward and body position is really different when he is riding this gt
  • + 4
 He looks awkward? He looks way more stylish on that GT than he did on the Commy, a lot more relaxed. I guess we won't really be able to tell till he is racing a world cup.
  • + 1
 Sweet baby Jesus!
They're both beautiful. (Gee and the Fury)
  • + 1
 that gap move at 2:03 is ridiculous!! gee destroys telonics
