CHILLED Jumps sesh with my BROTHERS & Fiancee! * FINALLY back on CLIP PEDALS since Achilles Snap!

A mega chilled session onDyfi Bike park 50 hits Jump Line shot on ‪@GoPro‬ hero8 AFFY BOOSTS SO HIGH its ridiculous watching THE MAN Dan Atherton ride! Wow! I love riding with my brothers but Geeman hurt his shoulder in a crash!
I finally pluck up the courage to ride CLIPS again and it is....amazing! My riding is so much more controlled on Clips! Olly tests the Atherton 150mm trail bike..... a super fun, chilled day.
xo rachybox.

[@philparsons8796]

been watching you guys for like 11,12 years now love the content your putting out Rachel , Dan and Gee were the reason i gave mountain biking a go as a kid, but watching Dan ride now looks like he's enjoying it so much more then he ever did when racing , that nosey to manual up the step up bridge thing was fucking insane , dudes got so much style when he's having fun , makes a DH bike look like a BMX

[@RachelAtherton1]

ah no way, thats so cool to hear, thank you! dan is in his element now, racing is so stressful it really is amazng but kinda limits you as a rider...he has freedom now and hes insane!

[@buggermonkey94]

You can tell someone cares for you when they glance back going down gnarly trails like that

[@RachelAtherton1]

Yea glad you noticed that how nice! They both do it all the time! Unless they’re hoping I crashed 😂

[@buggermonkey94]

@@RachelAtherton1 if no one witnesses the crash it never happened 😂

[@AverageDadMTB]

My daughter and I watch all your vids! She’s 6 and keeps asking “when can I do that?!” Lol. It’s great. Keep being you!

[@carl_sarg3870]

Mine too it’s amazing haha

[@louiegraham417]

pro tip : watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@jalenwarren8562]

@Louie Graham definitely, have been using Flixzone for years myself :D

[@pasiedonify]

Just wanted to say your videos are great, you come across really genuine and chilled...amazing to see such a pro outside of the DH circus...please keep posting .....

[@SouthamptonBikePark]

50 Hits looks so so good, Seeing Dan hit it was a treat!

[@RachelAtherton1]

He is so smooth it’s beautiful!

[@robociock]

Gf like Rachel + trails like those = dream life

[@RachelAtherton1]

hahaha ill tell olly ;-)

[@Damsurf77]

I like how you ride hard and still have little kiddo screams

[@pdpd-pd]

for real! knowing how hard she works to be at the top it's really inspiring to hear the joy

[@Sanderson2Orr]

Your summation at the end of the video was spot on ! I feel the same way every time I get on a bike. Also, Olly needs to screen shot the video at 1:28 ! The future holds fewer and fewer of those admissions for him. 🤣. Good on ya.

[@tx4k2008]

Rachel, thank you for making these rad videos! Watching you on the race track all these years has been (in your words) "absolutely mental," so getting to see you and your brothers/crew just play is such a fun contrast. Great to see you are recovering well and perhaps most importantly having a good time while doing it. Request - can you do a video that includes jumping technique?? I think I speak for a lot of us with years of riding experience that jumps still feel a bit mysterious... like what is a good baseline body position, when do we pop, how much do you bunny hop on the lip... how do you never ever ever again endo in the air?! Would love to see you put words to how you ride those jumps!

[@rajm1976]

Amazing. Been riding clips since the 90s. Will never go back even if it means not clipping out quick enough sometimes. Not worrying about your feet jumping around gives you so much more confidence. The only downside is losing confidence can be a nightmare as you always think you're gonna topple.

[@RachelAtherton1]

yea thats true, sometimes you cant clip out and you fall over! we all do it!

[@trugearreviewmtb2226]

Dammmmmmn Daniel! Some nice tracks you’ve built there!

[@RachelAtherton1]

so nice!!!

[@nickgretton7345]

If I had a 1/10” of your guy’s skills I would be a happy man. Sat here with my arm in a sling and a busted collar bone after deciding to teach myself how to do the big boy jumps at the local bike park during lockdown. Perhaps 51 is a bit to old but I had fun trying.😁

[@RachelAtherton1]

Ah noooo that sucks! Just start small and really practice and Perfect each stage before you move on to the next stage! Heal up!

[@jonpoon3896]

After all these years, Affy is still my favourite to watch

[@xuananator]

I just started *actual* mountain biking this year and riding like you guys looks so fun yet insanely scary at the same time hahaha. Maybe one day I'll be shredding like you guys, but for now I'll just enjoy these vids.... Congrats on the next step in your recovery!

[@realgoodmind]

I don't know why but watching the Atherton's all ride together always makes me happy. The band is back together!!!

[@andybucher452]

Good to see you shred and more importantly have fun, Rach. Thats what matters most. Compliments to Dan and the crew, the park looks sick. I'll defo come with some buddies to ride when we're allowed to.

[@RachelAtherton1]

thanks andy! its so good to just have fun, i think i forgot for a while! see you in dyfi when its open!

[@jackhume4532]

So glad to see that Rachel Atherton has made a full recovery from that awful injury.

[@imperialhenchmen8059]

Dan is such a sick rider! Shame we dont get to see him that often. Keep up the great vids!

he is a steezy guy! quiet steeze!

thanks kent

[@GMANS_BIKES_CARS]

great vid guys, so hoping they lift restrictions in Wales soon so you guys can open, even if you get people to book online and pre pay to limit numbers it would be better than staying closed, fingers crossed for news in the next few weeks! , cheers, Grant x

[@SunSnowGravity]

Nice to watch! Chill for you is just "...whaaat?!" for me as I just learn jumping. Dan jumping so high is a thrill to watch although for some jumps I had to bent my neck to follow his twists 😊

[@SkateTutor]

So many sick lines... it's been amazing watching you guys progress since the Commencal days...

[@RachelAtherton1]

ah thanks mate!

[@bubbagump5002]

Love this channel. Rach and Olly are so infectious to watch shred together ❤🤘

bubba gump me too. Loving those clips of Rach from behind.

[@RachelAtherton1]

awww thats so nice thanks!

[@siayourcannaguy6106]

I've shattered my ankle and femur and the best way to get the strength back is to keep doing your phiseo exercises every day but only ride hard one day and give yourself a couple days rest so your muscles can heal. After about a year send it all you want. Collagen, lots of protein and creatine to get as much water to the muscles helps too.

[@JamesRobertMTB]

The bikepark is looking so insane! RAD

[@FlyingMeta]

best in the UK!

Dan is such a boss!!🤩🤩

BOSS!

[@lynxg4641]

Great to see you back riding in the clips, bet it felt amazing compared to flats. Waiting myself to get back on them, but not sure yet if the knee is built back strong enough. Think you guys need to start a Dyfi Bike Park YT channel and put up previews of all the trails so people can see all of them and the variety.

[@Emzfit]

Just found this channel! Awesome!! 🤘🏻

@@RachelAtherton1 I watched a height competition with downhill bikes and pros, maybe an idea to do a vid with friends/pros to see who can go highest? Dan can whip up a feature to do it off of perhaps?

ah thats the dream, awesome place, this weather.. prime! start small and build slowly if you learn to jump... practice makes progression!

Awesome, video and a great talent. I'm 50 and only just got into this activity and a very long way off at attempting any sort of jump haha.

Awesome video 👌

[@lizzievarley3545]

It's all about having fun :)

[@MikeyV10]

I'd give anything to be able to ride in the Atherton train down 50 Hits, that was sick to watch. Rach, try runnin' your cleats all the way back (less strain on the Achilles as I'm sure you noticed :) and tight to the inside, the wider stance is easier on the knees and gives you more room between the knees to move the bike around. Happy to see you back shredding the trails and looking forward to seeing you race again. Rubber side down. Peace

[@RachelAtherton1]

come to dyfi and we can ride a train!

[@garyriggs6998]

Super fun session! Looks like Olly pops pretty high too.

[@RachelAtherton1]

he does! i need to film him more!

[@59trevski]

Rachel your jumping is defo getting better. The bikes are performing nice on those big jumps. Good to see you don’t always need a DH rig. What travel are those trail/enduro bikes? Fantastic to watch you all riding. Trails are looking sweet, can’t wait for Wales to open again🤙

[@RachelAtherton1]

thanks mate! feeling better each week and more confidant... i have been loving rding the trail bike for a while, nice change to the DH bike, the trail bike im on is 150mm of travel, but we are developing 160mm and more!! the 150mm is such a good all rounder - uphill...down dale!
