Always exercise responsibly and safely. Ideally under the guidance of a trained fitness and/or medical professional, who can match the exercise or sports regimen to your present level of fitness.

George David Atherton, known as Gee Atherton, is a professional racing cyclist specialising in downhill and four-cross mountain bike racing. He is also a multiple national champion, multiple World Cup winner, and 2008 and 2014 Downhill World Champion.

Here, Gee hurtles down a grassy ridge high above Dyfi Bike Park, near Machynlleth, Wales. As he descends, just two metres to his left, the land falls away. On this ride, there is no margin for error at all.

“I’ve always wanted to film here, it’s so incredibly exposed and totally unique. But it’s not a fun place to ride, its terrifying!” confesses Gee.
