Gee Atherton's Slate Line. Would you dare riding that thing?

blogs

Get a scary abandoned quarry in Wales, get Gee Atherton (one of the best downhill MTB riders of all time) and shake up. With the off-season currently extended at least until June, Gee has turned his attention to some new projects.

One of those is called The Slate Line, filmed in Wales just up the road from Dyfi Bike Park (designed by Gee's brother, Dan). In The Slate line, Gee descends a mountain of slate in the disused Wincilate quarry. The project has been sponsored by Continental, Red Bull Bike and Atherton bikes, probably to show how resistant and committed are the Kaiser tyres from the German tyre manufacturer. 

Sliding rocky surface shifts beneath Gee's wheels as he attacks obstacles and huge vertical drop-offs, cliff edges and mine shafts. There is no room for error on his descent to the valley, until the final drop which will leave literally your heart in your mouth.

Watch the film and share it with your friends to know what they think about this crazy, steep and technical downhill line.
