Features / Mon 19th Nov, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
Rou’s back with another episode of his Intriguing Beings Podcast, this week he’s talking to Mountain Biking Royalty in the form of Gee Atherton. When the wind isn’t blowing many of us ride bikes and while Gee isn’t a kiteboarder he’s got some interesting perspectives on issues we all face. He’s had some of the most horrific crashes and injuries during his long career, he raced his 100th UCI DH World Cup event this year and has won the UCI DH World Championships twice with numerous UCI DH World Cup wins to his name too. He’s been on the podium at the Red Bull Rampage and won the Red Bull Hardline this year, the most extreme DH race on the planet!
Gee’s a humble guy who’s exceedingly dedicated to his sport, like we all are, his attitude to training and getting on that top step is something to behold. Rou always said he didn’t want to just talk to kiters as there is so much we can all learn from other sports too and this podcast showcases that perfectly… Give it a listen and if you enjoy it, then feel free to give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends!
