I'm sorry but if you guys don't do a feature length film at some point, it would be the biggest missed opportunity. The story telling and videogrpahy of these mini films is just so good
Agreed. We have small docs and stuff but the family story to be laid out an told and end with Rach having the baby would be so cool. the 3 legends of the sport and what they have built.
I remember seeing Dan riding at Nantmawr Quarry back in the Muddy Fox days and to think he has been giving back to the sport for what must be close to 20 years since. Hard working and grateful, good job Dan 👍.
1:45 I envy this, I finally feel like I've found my passion and direction in life, all down to mountain biking, but I only discovered it last year. I just hope that I'm not too late and this sport never dies out.
At the moment it’s only getting bigger and I can’t wait until in a few years all the suburban dads sell their high end bikes they got in the quarantine! Sweet used bikes ahead!
@@rolux4853 Absolutely! Already starting to see some pop up on pinkbike, with people who got the best bike for the job and then used it about once on a green trail
Always fun and interesting seeing Dan and his passion. Probably not the most requested thing, but it would be interesting to see/read more about the forestry, timber, sawmill, sustainability that you've got going on and that was sort of previewed a little bit here.
Yeah they were pioneers of it then, so funny too, remember where they hired mopeds and smashed them up on a bmx track and had to pay the owner £500 lmao!!!!
Been once and fell in love with the place, even the view's are epic. It's a shame i'm 3hr's away or DYFI would be my 2nd home. Gotta love the Athertons always pushing the sport to new height's
Decent fella, he stopped on a run to check i was okay on the super-swooper fireroad. I could of been just stopping for a rest/drink on the fireroad for all he knew. As it was, I was in a bit of shock, as i had lost a front wheel and gone full pelt into a tree. Thought i'd dislocated my shoulder (and that was with shoulder pads on) Thankfully it must of popped back in tho, and i could move it after a few minutes of my arm feeling like a dead weight hanging off, and having to slide down the steep trail on my arse, dragging my bike with the 1 arm that worked, down to the fireroad! 😂 The trails at dyfi are such a buzz- proberbly because they still scare me even after loads of visits! 🤣☠
Brilliant Dan, you guys come a long way from the old 'Exeter Eagle bmx days' great seeing you all performing and succeeding on the World stage! Inspiration to so many people in the sport. Congrats on the bikes and park it looks Awesome will definitely be visiting this year. Keep up the progression, from your old club Kris Jenks 👊 ps wish I started mtb sooner 👍
I wish i could get a job working with you guys, it would be a dream come true! Me and some friends have spend all lockdown building trails and riding around were we live.
I like ENDURA riding gear but I'd have loved to have been in the meeting where they chose that design and given to them a slap. I'm not sure if it's the colours or the design but I personally think it's awful.

GCN + have made a documentary about them
Agreed, and it could be an awesome motivational tool for young girls like my daughter who will be inspired by watching Rachaels story.
real shit
Love the passion and definitely someone I look up to 🥲
Flats for life! Dan is the backbone of there operation, great dude.
Hey this is a great wee film! Thanks so much for using my music! 🤙

Ok cool, could be the next project
I would have liked to have seen more of Dan. I feel this short clip doesn’t do him justice. More of Dan please 🚴
Dan the man! Dan needs to do a video on his Cummins defender it's mint.
100%. Its badass, without being too extra and ridiculous.
Love the Family and they way they embrace the Mountain Biking community as a family too. #sharethelove
I would love to see more of Dan atherton. Something similar to the atherton project would be awesome
Bring back The Atherton Project one day? Would love to see more of a series following everyone.
Yeah they were pioneers of it then, so funny too, remember where they hired mopeds and smashed them up on a bmx track and had to pay the owner £500 lmao!!!!
It would be cool
+1 for that. I just re watched it

I bet he actually sits on his arse doing f all.
He manages a bike park. You can't manage a bike park doing nothing. He also joint owns a bike company. You can't manage a bike company doing nothing.
Welp
Whalt?
