It's Like Rampage, But on Broken Glass - GEE ATHERTON IS NUTS! 8

Sliding down super-steep, razor-sharp slate, avoiding life-ending cliff edges and then blasting one of the biggest stepdowns in recent memory is the way Gee Atherton has fun these days. BONKERS!

Upon second watching, the geology there is amazing. Those huge, cavernous mines. I wonder if Gee learned anything off of slate from that mine at school? Perhaps he was a couple of decades late for that class.

IMBA will find a way to build a flow trail down that hill.

Just make a waterslide of little bits of shale so "Riders." could stick their wheels in and move downhill pretending that their brakes are locked up!

Even better than ridge line. Amount of time his back wheel is locked and he’s just sliding at those speeds just is insane.

That's Nuts! I like how they fire aged that bit of wood just like at Rampage.

I thought they 'heat treated' to reduce rot, and slipperiness.

Have you ever tried Gaffer tape? It's like duct tape, but less sticky and easier to remove. Trade secrets. Wink wink, nod nod...

That's right! There's that ancient Japanese technique. Forgot.
