World Champion mountain-biker Gee Atherton, shows why he's known as one of the toughest and most daring riders in downhill mountain-biking as he tackles a new line at a disused slate quarry in Wales. Gee sets out to conquer a moving mountain of slate scree with one of the biggest gaps he’s ever jumped and a super-sharp surface where any mistake will not be forgiven. See every terrifying rock, drop and angle from Gee's point of view— The Athertons
Although this is cool, I really just want to see a full unedited run from his helmet or chest cam. Mega balls to ride that, the little awkward drop halfway down didn't make it into the final edit I don't think?
The original video had the same problems, over produced and the same shot 3 times plus music and slow motion. And, its not a POV if we get drone shots in.
those 360 gopro’s need to get thrown in the trash. that distorted footage it creates is just plain wack—extremely long ape arms, compressed, almost conical center fov perspective.
When Gee gets scared you know it's on another level.
That looked insane, near zero grip on loose slate which is pretty much a path or razor blades with massive consequences if you fall and then he hit that little gap at the bottom! I heard he needed a pilot's licence to ride that gap!
After that gap he had enough flight time to qualify for a pilots licence! The average incline for the whole line was 40 degrees... on that surface... just amazing.
I thought my action camera was bad quality? But when going speed & roughness of what Gee is doing does not look any better? Any one want to lend me a hero 9 just to show my new trails in 5k?
