RIDGELINE VI: KAZAKHSTAN - GEE ATHERTON

[@dub_rider]

now THIS is freeride!! Reminds me of the very first couple of Rampage events - finding sweet lines down sick terrain no need for tricks just style for miles and balls of steel. Props to Gee and his crew for another truly amazing ridgeline vid! You've come a long way since seeing you make a crazy tree root gap at PORC waaaaay back in the days (muddyfox era)

[@Spinakker2341]

Perfect place to host a “proper” freeride event

[@dwee420]

You brits are delusional, stop trying to pigeonhole what freeride is. If Gee could trick these features he would! You know what looks cooler than a a steezy straight air? A steezy trick. Sorry the sport is progressing and your favorite riders are riding like it’s still 2002

[@45H4W]

PORC Brings back so many memories

[@Howling-Mad-Murdock]

@@45H4WSame. Travelled all the way from East Yorkshire a few times to ride there, loved it.

[@ellmusec]

Exactly what I was thinking whilst watching that. THIS IS FREERIDE., So pure, the ridiculous riding, beautiful filming, incredible location. This is the crem de la crem of mtb videos, amazing.

[@Kandalf8989]

as born and raised Mountain Biker from Almaty Kazakhstan, the big city that surrounds the mountains in the video, i'am so proud that people are exploring my country outside of BORAT Boundaries, we have a lot of different mountain ranges - and very big filming potential for segments like this. We also have 3 bike parks, that are fun and beginner and expert friendly.

[@billaudet]

National Gee-ographic ;-) absolutely stunning!

[@RedBullBike]

Oh wow. That was insane 🔥💯

[@AthertonRacing]

Cheers Guys, my favourite spot to ride so far!

[@Killeenster]

Dear Red Bull. This is what we want to see at Rampage. No manicured lines.

[@AlBorland3877]

@@Killeenster Yeah, man! May you be heard.

[@MPerly]

Brendog was robbed RedBull

[@PsyMongSki]

​@@Killeensteryou talking about Redbull Rampage Slopstyle?😂😂

[@gmbn]

When Gee turns around and shakes his head at the camera you know it was pretty gnarly! 😅 Well done everyone involved, great film, awesome scenery!

[@jusfc]

You could see it almost went wrong and the post landing bounce to off camber rock strewn landing was unexpected. He rode it out on a knife edge of skill and luck but knew he was in the hands of the gods for a second there.

[@themuslimmountainbiker]

Looks like Gee is closer to being Global than "GMBN", by venturing in the biggest continent in the world which also had the highest peaks in the world 😅

[@mikesmith123]

Maybe Rampage should come one day to Kazakhstan 😅

[@SabiFisher]

Really good idea!

[@darrelldolan_mtb6407]

I'm calling it now. Best edit of 2024. 👍

[@AthertonRacing]

thank you mate, it was a lot of fun

[@clem7334]

It's amazing to see how Gee manages to produce a riding so engaged after his huge crash. Definitely one of the greatest mtb rider !

[@0harris0]

which huge crash? 🙈

[@clem7334]

@0harris0 2021 crash in Wales. You can get the video on KZbin.

[@iamonfire92]

That! THAT IS RAMPAGE SOUL! Thank you Mr. Gee for this feelings again!

[@Chess_troy]

Oh my god! Honestly, I don't follow extreme bike sport, but when I found out that you were here, I decided to watch this video, it really was amazing. Kazakhstan is my native country, and even I am surprised by your mastery of cycling and by these views. Thank you!

[@Idontknowhowtoride]

That run that starts at 7:25 is absolutely incredible! The bike control is a thing of beauty to watch

[@zooboyjoe]

I grew up in Kazakhstan so it's awesome to see someone riding the trails we rode as kids! They look just as gnarly as I remember when we built them in the 90s!

[@deividas_kimontas]

Gee always pushing the boudries! 🔥💪 Respect to him for the determination! What a beautiful country Kazakhstan🇰🇿 is!

[@leeghathaway]

For everyone who thought Rampage was sick! Start watching from 9:40. For everyone else, start from the beginning…

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

That canyon runs looked so damn fun to ride. Amazing work as always all involved. Also, got a bit of a Top Gear vibe with this one.

[@AthertonRacing]

Thanks man, such a wild spot

[@timwilliamson7504]

You know that when Gee says "that was gnarly", some insanity has just happened. Love it.

[@ogasi1798]

it's hard to imagine a better Gee than this version of the last few years, what a dude who is surely living his best life, congrats fella, well earned

[@CragCatDad]

Incredible Gee, the team, Redbull, and the Kazak people! This just makes me want to go explore whether that’s on the bike, rope, kayak, or feet. Invigorating video to keep getting after it and go travel to see the world

[@noke1785]

Thanks "G" for showing us your masterpiece of FREERIDING in 2024! you´re a living legend!!

[@golfie1v]

Wow, that’s talent and the camera work deserves praise also👌👏

[@martintaylor4102]

Putting everything on the line again , this man is a legend!

[@timetherington-judge8682]

Hands down one of the most awe-inspiring mountain bike films I've ever seen.

[@John-1956]

Totally agree, awesome everything.

[@nickcummins3084]

Best Ridgeline yet, astounding and beautiful in equal measure. Just breathtaking .

[@alanv7569]

Hard to imagine what it must be like to have Gee’s skill set and confidence. Stunning video

[@bagafatcat]

cutting edge of shreddiness, heart and soul of MTB

[@Serdakserdak]

Freeride is alive! Damn good that is, true sense of exploration and pushing the limits of extreme riding ❤

[@darrenpage1517]

Now that's a Rampage

[@tjpighin]

Anti-progression. Sick clip but not comp worthy

[@JustDiesels]

Incredible video. Absolutely insane speed and not a groomed landing in sight. Gnarly stuff!

[@marcojung5157]

This is for sure the best MTB Movie of the whole year!!! Insane job of everyone involved!!

[@AthertonRacing]

Cheers Marco!

[@danielhelm9682]

Kazakhstan looks epic what a destination for mountain biking in the future

[@NathanHarrison7]

Epic Quest Complete ✅ Minute 4:54 (gaps) gave me chills. There are no “lines”. He is making them up basically live. Epic riding. AND epic filming. In particular those narrow channels where the drone is following him tight. Almost looks like another rider following him close!

[@CamAllenMTB]

I’ve watched thousands of bike videos over the years and this may be the best one of them all. Gee is the GOAT

[@AthertonRacing]

Cheers man, very kind

[@0Haldor0]

Bloody Hell, it's been a long time, since a MTB film hit me this hard. Absolutely marvolus, especially weaving through the tight winding shoot was surreal.

[@LukeLukinson]

this series must go on indefinitely!!!

[@JonRawlinson]

absolutely incredible. you goddamn legends!!!! mind blowing riding. phenomenal cinematography. brilliant fpv drone shots. stunning stunning stunning. this might be the best mountain biking video I've ever seen.

[@NicolasHarvey-b5e]

Rampage terrain on steroids! Insane riding in beautiful remote mountains. Great work Gee and the crew 🤙

[@thesandhaus9689]

I love this more than most MTB stuff I’ve seen in a while. Much more raw terrain. I get tired of watching people ride manicured jumps and lines

[@Alansnackbar78]

That’s so cool! Great advert for free ride, the country, the bike and the rider. Hats off once again. Better than a front flip, seen loads of them 😂

[@moshnroll505]

Absolutely beautiful. Absolute legend.

[@johnd0e25]

Amazing lines, riding and beautiful scenery! Freeride maybe isn't dead yet.

[@danieldurzynski-beutel7045]

My favorite Ridgeline-Vid so far! Especially the Chuteriding-Footage!! Awesome Freeridespirit here!!! Stop saying you wont't do that again, Gee. No one believes that 😊

[@spowagematthew]

That was simply stunning.

[@Laner84]

you're such an insane , inpriational rider Gee , you hit it hard and if it goes wrong you're straight back hitting it again ! love these ridgeline videos

[@noelfezza]

STUNNING PRODUCTION! Amazing videos and riding as always Gee and crew. National geographic on bikes

[@Luckymosquito]

Well done! I much preferred this over previous iterations of Ridgeline. More techy lines, more natural terrain, less super big hiiiiiiiigh consequence features (I mean it's still proper big hucks in this video, that I wouldn't even think of). This is mountainbiking!

[@jamesoneill2662]

Unlike the last few ones of these, relieved that I didn’t feel like I was gonna die by just watching it

[@my2017raptorhardtail]

We don't call you the GOAT for no reason! Man I love you brother!!! Keep doin you. You're KILLIN it!

[@carcionetj]

best one yet. well done boys!

[@AthertonRacing]

Thanks man

[@mkvtec]

Gee showed it to us when he was visiting Exeter last week at his event. At times, when you looked at the crowd from the side, every third or fourth person had their mouth open, watching it. What an experience! See you at Dyfi!

[@AthertonRacing]

See you there!

[@HotBeeFF21]

THIS IS RAMPAGE!! REAL FREE RIDING!! THE GOAT FOR A REASON!

[@Trail.X]

Gee props to you and your crew! Epic and what a terrain! Looking forward to Ridgeline VII 🤟🏼

[@EnduroMarcel]

Mad props to the drone pilot too. That was sick af!

[@001jozef]

Respect for whole team...picking unique places and very remote ..

[@kylefaulkner9645]

Your candidness about taking things slow and being safe is so humbling as we see you hit MASSIVE jumps and steep lines

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

Epic. There is no other word that can be used to describe this, other than "EPIC".

[@nancykrueger89]

Wow😮 Just WOW. Well done. Look at the beautiful nature out there. I had goosebombs all over my body watching this. Such a incredable work! Thank you so much for that masterpiece❤

[@Chance.B]

WOW, best one yet! That was INCREDIBLE!

[@therealmountainbike2007]

The speed trough that narrow canyon is mind blowing! Great video and what a country to ride on

[@Dreaming.Neon.Black.]

"absolutely horrific" - good summary, Gee! 😆 legend!

[@GerardSefeld]

YEAH ! Back to the freerides roots !!!🤩🤩🤩

[@christian__sullivan]

Last line is soooo fast!!! Amazing stuff Gee and Crew! Gee and BrenDog are my fav FREERacers!!

[@Brucci0]

Gee, you madman. That line inside the gorge, a thing of pure beauty. Thank you!

[@steveharry9891]

I have to say....for myself....that's the best film ,you have done ,the rawness,the freeride feel the feel of the whole film ,made me wanna be there ,and ride it .... (not that I could ,as my skill level ,is shit !!! )fantastic ...loved it !!!!!

[@crixxbrain6372]

The answer to „Why does he do it“ is in the images… Thank you, Gee & crew, this is just awesome!

[@randroid123]

Best Freeride video I’ve ever seen

[@noelruthven]

Mind blowing levels of seemingly effortless talent 🔥🔥🔥

[@GermanTabor]

Truly awesome. Glad you stayed in one piece Gee!

[@Dwyane1st]

For some reason this one gave me the coldest of feet out of all the ridgelines. But it is also the most spectacular one. Great work guys🔥

[@konstantinrupchanski]

Left me completely speechless. The way you captured the intensity and unique thrill of the ride and place was beyond amazing. Thank you for sharing such incredible content.

I fell many times while watching the video and my aching knees got more pain. But I can't stop watching these. You are amazing..

[@0harris0]

huge video part 💥💥💥 some truly incredible shots

[@tonyo4984]

Totally awesome... Freee riding at its absolute best. I will be watching this again and again. This videos in this Ridgeline series are the very best of freeride videos.

Great video, great rider! Nature, mountainbike and passion for speed.. Saludos from Ensenada Baja California!

[@denistheej]

It was really the best freeride or even the best bike video I've seen. Thanks for completing without injuries) Pure beauty!

[@mob4801]

the run-in to that ender was sooo committed and precise. beautiful and inspiring. this represents the soul of sport

[@capitanocuoredimanzo4046]

This video make me Scream of joy......this is my idea of Freedom!

[@JeffMTBinVA]

So sick, thanks Gee and crew.

[@brucemacdonald5532]

The gully line was incredible, totally natural terrain and it had so much flow! 👌

[@antonbell3177]

By far the best video these guys have done, great flow and speed.

[@NZWozza]

Best bike thing I have seen since Gee raced James May! Stunning location, great camera work, insane riding. The pace on the behind the scenes and the riding was spot on. I thought Gee was going to hit the wall of the canyon at one point. Best ridgeline video so far.

[@FatDadEnduro]

Im bummed that I watched this on a tablet… this should be shown in imax!!! Truly amazing!!!

[@smv9338]

Another awesome Ridgeline video! Great riding amongst awesome scenery. Super stoked that Gee will be racing Tasmania Hardline 2025!!!

[@rmurraymtb2579]

Insane in the best possible way. A man who is one with his machine, trusts his bike and his crew. Sick 🔥🤟

[@teslatacos9806]

LEGEND

[@MichaelApodaca]

Absolutely insane work, Gee! Linking up those drops, mega drop-ins and steep chutes! This was an absolute banger that reminds me of the early freeride videos that got me into MTB in the early 2000's. Keep up the awesome work and glad to see you were able to keep the rubber down on those gnarly lines!

[@pauk9638]

What an absolute master piece! Congratulations to the whole crew!

[@blackou7]

a normal person in my point of view wouldn't ask "why", this is life! Another great video! This is Freeride!

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Im watching this just before I was about to ride myself.....but heebeegeeesseeeess q cojones mate my respect !!! What a beautiful country.

[@glitch314]

Best ridgeline episode! Amazing work, makes me wanna go there, what an amazing terrain... that last run tho...🤯

[@stas9463]

Это просто замечательно 🤟

[@Marionetax]

You’re so inspiring… I’m keep on recovering from a serious injury while free climbing two years ago (almost lose my left foot…) and watch you riding so hard such a sketchy lines after your last crash and your terrible injury makes me keep pushing myself forward… legend! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@hendrikodendaal6179]

Sick! And absolutely beautiful!

[@craigyt86]

Absolutely Epic, Gee, i doth my cap Sir, brilliant!
