 Another way to look at it, the more trees the more airtime

 If you filmed the whole thing in slow-mo you'd get even more Beer

 They’d have gotten way more trees planted if they ride the entire track in slow-mo.

 @tbmaddux: When you post some more comments I can give you some more downvotes. Interested? I'd love to see that sweet swedish forest growing all crooked and pale.

 @murfio: Actually, you're the one who just insinuated it. Maybe you need to reflect on your own views before projecting negative connotations onto other's comments.

 @murfio: is whacked out as that is, no I just submit in general the entire family has been busy. Rachel & Ben, Gee & Dan with the bike part, etc etc. Shred on folks and the best of luck to Rachel with her upcoming mini me

 @conoat: @conoat: South wales has a pretty shallow gene pool, generally where there's mining, there's inbreeding. Yorkshire's not so bad, you have to go a fair way north before you find the webbed toes and banjos.

 @pbuser2299: Webbed feet is a sought after human trait especially for swimmers and free divers. Foot models not so much.

 I had no doubts they’d leaf the ground

 Hopefully this becomes rooted and doesn't go unnoticed. Seems like something worth barking about

 @Bermie-Sanders: It's really good that the Athertons have used their insane talent and branched out to endura for a project like this.

 Endura also make affordable gear that lasts years, unlike all that Troy Lee crap.

 Ive rediscovered Endura kit this winter. It is a great price for really well designed and durable gear and with a good attitude to the environment. For winter riding in the UK there is little better IMO

 The Athertons sure have been planting their seeds. Gagitty

 I don't think the Atherton's spent more than about tree fiddy on dirt. lmao. that place is nothing but shale rock!
  • 2 0
 Yeah I'm sure they talked about the shale in one of their vids. Seems they've figured out a way to make it work though; looks grippy and weather-resistant. :-)
