What’s different? There’s no voiceover, no music; just the pure unadulterated sound of speed. It’s sweet music to our ears. ASMR for mountain bikers.
Atkinson tears through the trails at ridiculously high speeds with the amount of precision and control you’d expect to see from a rider of his calibre.
Despite his serious skills, he doesn’t take himself too seriously though, punctuating each launch with a joyous “yeow!” before the thundering sound of his tyres hitting the ground.
Sound is a must. Headphones optional, but highly encouraged.

Mildred’s a utilitarian cyclist at heart, determined to do everything on two wheels, whether it’s commuting or moving house. Her ideal ride covers long distances through remote countryside, on mixed terrain that offers a bit of crunch. Easily won over by steel frames coupled with a 650B/plus tyre combo.
