Jono Jones is back for his annual first-guest-of-the-year episode of The Ride Companion!

Gee Atherton is one of the most decorated, all-round downhill riders the sport of mountain biking has ever seen. He's also one of the most committed, hardest bike riders that cycling has ever seen. Full stop. His list of achievements goes on, and on, and on: two-time world champion, eight-time UCI World Cup winner, Red Bull Hardline winner, six-tie national champion… but his list of difficult moments and brutal crashes is also a long one. Sadly, it goes with the territory of pushing the boundaries. Here on Just Ride, for the first time, Gee speaks in detail to Rob and Eliot about his awful crash while filming his Ridgeline series in North Wales in 2021. Gee was airlifted to hospital and had to fight for his life. Yet he returned to the saddle, as he has done numerous times before. His love of the bike shines through and for more than an hour the guys recapped a magical career while discussing that fateful day shooting Ridgeline, his subsequent return and crash at Red Bull Rampage in 2023, and what's next for one of the greatest of all time. Filmed in front of a live studio audience in Salzburg, Austria, this is a fascinating chat with a mountain bike icon. Are you planning to catch Red Bull Hardline this weekend? You can watch it live on Red Bull TV and if you do, drop us a line – we want to hear from you! Hit us up at podcast@redbull.com. Rob and Eliot will be back soon.

Rob and Eliot caught up in Salzburg last week for some very exciting Just Ride records that we'll bring to you very soon – including a fascinating chat with Mr Red Bull Hardline himself, Gee Atherton. That will be live next week as we build up to Red Bull Hardline but before then, Eliot and Rob chatted through some brilliant listener emails, discussed Red Bull's upcoming mountain bike film ANYTIME, previewed Hardline and much, much more. See you next week for the guys' incredible chat with Gee.

Olly, Bren, and Deaks are back in the truck on route to the airport post Red Bull Rampage.  On this episode of Drivetime Bren takes the lead in dissecting what Rampage means to him and why he keeps returning to the event, whether party trains should even be possible at Rampage and explains how the event has evolved over the years. The lads also question whether Beinvenido Aguado deserved his low score, reflect on Gee Atherton's huge crash and potential winning run. They also share their experiences building/riding the battleship feature alongside Szymon Godziek. Brendan talks about why he decided not to take his second run and gives props to Olly and Deaks for their incredible efforts in building his line throughout the week.  The conversation takes an intriguing turn as the gang speculates on whether Red Bull gives preferential treatment to their own athletes on the live feed. Plus, they uncover the secrets of 'lad science' when it comes to building features for these epic challenges.

The Athertons also run a bike park, 650 acres large set in the DYFI forest, hand-crafted by Dan Atherton.   We chat all things mountain biking, world championships, how each of them got into riding and ultimately competing at such a high level, injuries, creating and launching their business Atherton Bikes (during the pandemic) and having a family team racing their own bikes, business successes and setbacks, and more.   Get 20% OFF with code JUSTDOIT at calderalab.com and make unforgettable first impressions that lead to the charming words, “You look younger!”.

We discuss the crashes that go with the territory and the numerous injuries he's suffered. Gee tells us about the mental recovery that has to happen with the physical in order for him to want to throw himself down a mountain again and we also talk about the big two events, Rampage and Hardline.Gee's a fantastic guest and I think you'll enjoy this one, he's as passionate about racing bikes as he ever was and after a recent return to form he can't wait for next season to get underway!Enjoy!Gee's Ballsy CrashWinning Run At HardlineLa Bresse POV run 2018

Go deep with interviews of downhill racers as they arrive in La Bresse, France, for the final stop of the 2018 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. Sven Martin and @maddogboris with the goods.

Enjoy this informal, fun interview with Greg Callaghan and Gee Atherton. The two were training together in Southern California and we thought it would be fun to have the racers ask each other the questions.

Gee Atherton needs very little in the way of an introduction. As one of the fastest humans on a mountain bike, he's always been a personal favorite of mine on World Cup race day. His 2017 season was impacted by a severe hip dislocation at a local Fort William race and he was off the bike for months. He eventually returned to racing at the Lenzerheide World Cup DH, significantly earlier than expected. With the 2018 World Cup downhill season just a few weeks a way, I was stoked to get Gee on The Inside Line to discuss the upcoming season, racing in general and what makes him tick. -gordo

Arguably the gnarliest downhill race on the planet, Red Bull Hardline whittles down a heavy field of riders to a select few. Enjoy interviews with the race winner, Craig Evans and his fellow competitors.
