As usual, Gee goes HARD on some incredible terrain… love the mix of travelogue in this video too.
Do yourself a favour and Pour yourself a drink and get this watched on a big screen, it’s fantastic in 4k.
That popped up in my feed last night. Some pretty remarkable scenery for backdrops, for sure. The risk/reward seemed pretty unbalanced. At least at Rampage there's a chopper waiting to medevac any serious injuries. It was interesting to see the amount of graft that had to be undertaken to get a rider and bike up a mountain at crazy elevation for the sake of 30 seconds of content.
Best of the series so far. Starting to see more of Gee's personality outside of serious ride mode which is important for these sorts of videos as there's not that much of the riding.
I do think they should have kept the first ridgeline until last though, it had the worst exposure and a vey small margin for error when jumping the 2 gaps.
Nepal is an amazing and beautiful place. They must need to sell a lot of cans to make that advert pay
That was a great film. Gee is becoming very natural on camera. I’m sort of imagining him as the Anthony Bourdain of mountain biking
Thanks for that, I've been avoiding watching it, as I have previously struggled with the way Gee talks, it felt like he was trying make something sound gnarly, which clearly he has no need to, as the gnar speaks for itself... As above, this time he sounds very natural.
What a rider and what a location, I really want to visit Nepal now.
Come across my feed - what a superb video.
I’m always conflicted with these kind of videos. Obviously the landscapes are stunning. The riding is impressive - way outside anything I could contemplate.
I can’t really explain very well, but there’s always an awkward kind of imperialistic nature to these “Jolly hockey sticks” chaps waltzing around these landscapes with their fancy bikes and equipment. As if somehow they think they’re doing something meaningful when actually it’s just ego stroking.
I find canyon gaps in “the most beautiful country I’ve ever been to” (you and me both Gee) somewhat incongruous.
@reeksy you and me both , as stunning as the location is I worry that at some point George's luck is going to run out . He's had quite a few close shaves in the past , there must surely come a point where they decide enough is enough.
There must be another way to sell a disgusting fizzy drink?
Stunning video that. I felt a bit sick on his "warm up" ridge! Crazy. But it was all very beautiful
have you asked Gee what he wants to do before moaning about red bull profiteering over this?
Enjoyed the blog style video. gave loads of background. That gap on the ridge was mad but the run out had him nearly over the edge. Fair play!
Used to think that whilst Gee's riding was excellent, that he was a bit of a Bell. However went to see his stage show just over a year ago and when some people fainted, and afterwards when he went to chat to them, he actually came across as a really nice chap who is/was perhaps a bit camera shy.
Latest film is amazing - I do feel the sentiment about going to these places with loads of money to just shoot a film and then fly back out - it would be good to see these films and then maybe if they could give something back to the local riding scene / kids etc.

He's said time and again that he'd be out doing ridiculous stuff on his own dollar, he's just lucky enough to get paid to do it
Just watched this. 6 minutes in I've ridden across the bottom of that slab on my P7 bike packing and yes I'm showing off cause I can 😀
