GEE ATHERTON - Vital RAW 21

Just the sounds of tires in the dirt (and a few laughs). New Atherton Bike Co. prototype, nasty shredding and plenty of fun along the way as Gee, Rachel, Dan Atherton and friends go for a day out on incredibly steep, technical trails near home.

Learn all about the prototype DH bike Gee is riding

Rachel looks ridiculously good on that bike. Good luck to everyone racing against her next year.

Why is it, that riding in the UK always looks enjoyable as hell. All the time. If I tried that here in Alberta I'd have broken ribs

So good. Much want.

But based on the cost of the Robot Bikes, I wouldn't be surprised to see these be over $5k USD for a frame.

0.25 % speed playback is very extremely interesting. I wish Vital would do a 120 FPS video features on new bikes or bike test and see how the bike rides.

!:42 is the highest high line that ever rode a line while high. Also, Rach is so fast.

That is master-class. Such cool trails too. I hope the Athertons have a big year on those bikes.
