Inspiration comes in many forms. Gee Atherton has them all and more. His triumphant return to the Ridgeline series is nothing short of incredible.

In June 2021 when filming “The Knife Edge” Gee had a horrendous crash with a huge list of injuries… Gee’s recovery was a long process with no guarantees that he would ride again but the thought of “the new Ridgeline” (built way back in 2021 before his horrible accident) was a huge motivation.
I have to admit the first day up on the new ridge was challenging, I’d been riding chilled bike park laps and suddenly I was back at the top of a Ridge with all the knowledge of what had gone before. But I do these projects purely because I love it. I’ve always enjoyed that creative side, the freedom to build things as hard as you want. There are no boundaries, and I always end up making them a little bit harder than I should. As soon as I dropped in I was back where I belong”
