00:02 - The Athertons are a family

00:05 from the southwest of England.

00:06 - The whole family all won a World Cup on the same weekend,

00:12 which has never, ever been done before.

00:14 They're a unique unit and pretty damn scary.

00:18 I'm gonna race against them.

00:20 - Rach is the youngest, G's the middle man,

00:28 and Matthew's the ring leader of the gang.

00:30 - Dan Atherton is the original, he's the instigator.

00:33 - We were racing World Cups with all the guys

00:35 and just kind of suddenly it was like,

00:37 this is really happening, this is really possible.

00:40 - When you look at Rachel,

00:42 undoubtedly one of the greatest downhill racers.

00:46 I mean, she is never cruising, ever.

00:50 - I won everything, it's pretty mad.

00:52 - And then there's G.

00:54 - G is the utter lunatic.

00:57 - Yeah, you're like, oh my God, I'm going so fast.

00:59 I'm gonna overshoot it.

01:01 - I think when you build something that's scary,

01:03 it's just trying to prove to myself that I can do it.

01:05 - We basically moved up to Wales just for riding, really.

01:11 - They maybe drove up that valley 15 years ago,

01:14 thinking, oh, let's go make some tracks in those woods.

01:17 And now they own the woods.

01:18 - We just kind of wanted to help out the next generation,

01:23 just kind of bring them on in a good way.

01:26 - Because you've got a sawmill here,

01:27 it allows us to do such cool stuff on the park.

01:30 - We spent our whole lives developing bikes.

01:34 - We know what we want to ride, we know what works.

01:38 We're putting our life into this sport.

01:39 Let's build something big that can stay with us.

01:42 - Basically built a line right on top of the mountain there.

01:47 You're right on the knife edge of the ridge.

01:49 Then you just literally jump into like oblivion.

01:52 Room for error is just absolutely zero.
