THE KNIFE EDGE

When youre constantly seeking to go beyond your comfort zone, to do things that nobody has ever done before, sometimes the outcome balances on a knife edge Dan Atherton Gee Athertons The Knife Edge is not the glossy action sports edit that weve come to know of late. In fact very little has been edited here, so while we get to enjoy the mindblowing mountainbiking skills and the daring that we associate with Gees recent big mountain projects such as The Ridgeline and The Slateline, he also talks of the fear he needs to overcome and shows the horrific crash that resulted in many broken bones, a punctured lung and a 2 week stay in the hospital. Gee explains why he chose to share such a raw piece of footage and why he feels its important that we dont shy away from the less glamorous side of extreme sports. Spectacular action and personal reflections from one of the world s toughest and most accomplished mountainbikers. Huge thanks to the crew, to the paramedics, Aberdyfi Search and Rescue
