The Atherton Project episode 7

Episode 7 starts back at the Athertons' home in Wales. Dan and Gee hit the jumps on the trails behind the house. Testing out a new line, suddenly, Dan crashes. It's a neck injury, and it doesn't look good. In fact, it turns out Dan's lucky to be alive. This episode is dedicated to the fallen riders who may not have been so lucky.

 Has to be VOD. there couldn't be a more motivating story. Dan is the man

 Well, I wouldn't consider it too much of a motivating story, but it's highly interesting, personal, and brings a lot of thoughts to your mind.

At least, it's great to have experienced one of the most amazing comeback stories in your own family (she needed nerve grafts for her sholder plexus, it's amazing to be able to do any sports after such an injury, winning races for me is a wonder).

Get well soon, Dan, but it's seems like your a fighter, so there is no doubt to that!
