  • The Slate Line is the brand new edit from Gee Atherton, the World Champion mountain-biker renowned as one of the toughest and most daring riders in downhill mountain-biking.
    Following hot on the heels of his death-defying and spectacularly exposed “The Ridgeline” Gee tackles a new line at a disused slate quarry in Wales. In his constant quest to progress his extreme sport Gee sets out to conquer a moving mountain with one of the biggest gaps he’s ever jumped and a super-sharp surface where any mistake will not be forgiven.
    The slate line is mind-blowingly precarious and features some of the biggest gaps that Gee has ever ridden.

    SO GNARLY! My heart is pounding and I'm sweating after watching that.
    This is worth anyone's 4 minutes! - unless you have an anxiety disorder, and ulcer, or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke. Consult your doctor first if you have any doubt. Great little short with stunning drone filming.
    Loose slate is one of the most dangerous and miserable surfaces to ride on - and it will mangle you if you are unlucky enough to fall on it.
