  • If you're going bike on any roads, regardless of what style of bike, you better ride defensively if you want to stay alive. I ride mostly on trails because most american motorists dont know how to share the road with cyclists. I cant count how many times cars have cut me off when they made right turns on red lights. Or how many soccer moms honked at me because they didnt understand how the bike lane split between car lanes.

  • She's one damn tough woman!! Gotta love her!

  • Downhill Bike Warning: Road Bikes are dangerous to your health

  • I laughed so hard at the sequence of "managed to manhandle the shoulder back in" and then gee gruesomely describing his vision of his dead sister lol

  • Come on guys if you could ride half as well as her you'd probably think you were invincible too!

  • glad she's ok but really, loud headphones, looking down, rode into wrong side of the road, & No Helmet

  • for sale: a cervelo road bike...rode by rachel atherton..MINT condition. :)

  • I never listen to music anymore since moving onto road bike from BMX. It's just stupid to listen to music. Dumb woman.

  • Very gnarly, I'm just glad she made it through alright.

  • Lucky girl. Earphones out, eyes looking ahead folks. Reminds me that there's little to no margin for error out on the road.

  • Dude it was gnarly!

  • I couldn't imagine riding on the road without my hearing sense. I use it all the time. I can tell if a car is coming up behind me. I really only rely on my vision to confirm what my ears already told me.

  • @AutodromoF1 Me, too. I can hear cars from far away behind me due to riding for 5 years. It's like second sense. Even lights reflecting off of certain things you notice at night.

  • shell never ride a road bike again...

    i thought downhill was way gnarlier

  • You still want youre bike cuz I'll take the frame XD jk that looked bad

  • Sounds like she's on some serious pain killers at least

  • rach is hot english and shreds on the dh thats my dream girl

  • nasty injury! i'd looove to race her down a hill :D

  • oh my god a women cyclist who listens to ACDC i want her

  • Wow, that's going to kill the resale value of that bike...

    Glad she's ok though. That's pretty shitty.

  • Girl you are so hot..

  • @aleariza agreed even with a fucked up face

  • The call each other "G" and "dude." How nauseating.

  • Comment removed

  • @HitMeQuick The brothers name is Gee, thats what she was referring to.

  • @ARIKW1989 And Gee is a name is it?

  • Comment removed

  • @HitMeQuick I guess in Europe.

  • @ARIKW1989 Never heard of it. So we must assume their parents are ridiculous.

    "It's Gee's birthday so we thought we'd buy him a bike."

    "Word, dear. He simply must join Hugo in Richmond park, we bought him a 4x4"

  • @HitMeQuick Just found out his real name is George and "Gee" is just a nickname.

  • @ARIKW1989 Well he be a bad to da bone m fucker then.

    Or. Not.

  • listening to music while riding? tsk tsk

  • this is fucking boring and so is road biking..

  • thats why ur not spose to listen to music while riding

  • @jajajaja404 Bollocks!

  • @jmeove roadrash is some crazy shit man haha so painful

  • oh the bike looks ok

    jk

    OMG

  • still would

  • thats how my bike looks like:( i crached in to a motorbike but on some fucked up way i only schratched my little finger. i was sooo friggen close to break my neck. but the worst part was that happens on the schools lunch break so i Had to have a lession even tho i was a cm to get killed XD

  • Maybe avoid listening to load music while training? Try listening for trucks round the next corner?

  • what a pussy.

  • @Joanchovyy go fuck yourself you peice of shit

  • @Joanchovyy why dont you go get hit by a truck and see how it feels.....go fuck yourself

  • ac dc <333

  • werid i was hit by a white truck 2. It was my second crash and hopefully it will be my last. I thought I was going to get ran over when I was clipped, But I was able to walk away without going to the hospital. and thank fully I had my helmet on. I would be dead if I was not wearing it.

  • Comment removed

  • Hardcore bird,would put many a man to shame,wouldn't eat her cooking though !!

  • I NEED A WOMAN LIKE THIS.....!! SUPER SEXY. TUFFFF CHIX RULE.!!

  • 03:57 "I'll never ride a road bike again.....EVER" LOL, priceless!! me neither I'll stick to my mountain bike thank you very much...

  • :( casi seme mata la muchacha

  • i hit a car that was goign 40 once and ended up in the hospital for 6 days.... when i got home and saw my bike for the first time i was like "Shit i made it through that?"

  • DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

  • The fact her brothers pushed her shoulder back in to place never got mentioned on the atherton project.....yikes!!

  • a broken arm and messed up face and she's still expected to cook pasta? :L

  • Rachel rocks!

  • "went tits up" haha I love it

  • god you were very lucky but you still look great ....... !

  • i love her

  • I ride freeride/dj and have taken some brutal slams. I will take tearing myself up on dirt and rocky slopes than on hot, flat 100 degree asfalt. No thanks. Road Bikers for what it is worth you got my respect.

  • she says like to much. but fair play to her

  • luv ya !

  • whell its a stupid road bike who cares

    i hope rachel is ok

  • @noamvar

    mate, road riding is brutal. have a crash a 50mph wearing lycra.

    respect the road bikes and riders....

  • @GREALDO21

    didnt ment to disrespect the road bikers i just saying that you dont need to worry about the bike... its just metal and rachel is a human

  • @noamvar

    oh, sorry mate.

    i just took it the wrong way, i totally agree with what your saying now, lol.

    its just that so many people think road riding is for pussies. =)

  • oof...that was once an incredible bike...hope everything is ok!

  • Ironic it was a road accident.. Good shit though Rach

  • i said to myself i bet it wasnt that bad then i saw the bike i was like SHIIIIIIIIIT

  • i like gee's commentary

  • i wouldn't mind if i so broke my both arms and both legs, i would be so pissed off if my bike would be broken. i mean a bike like that cost like 80k kronars

  • Rach your one tuff beautyfull athlete!

  • i feel sorry for her

  • i have dislocated my sholder not plesant. but the last thing u want to do is put it back in urself cause u can get ligaments caught. i went into hospital and had xrays befor they put it back in. though there was a paramedic there so did what he said lol but this girl is tough.

  • 'I was expected like a skull cracked open or a broken face' Lmao.... Gee. Athertons are tough as nails though.

  • When something like this happens... would she get compensation ?

  • a stone as big as a tennis ball can make a Full Suspension MTB trip. What more of a Road Bike? You wear less protective gears in a Road Bike while you seems going in a battlefield on a FS MTB. Hard Asphalt/Cement on a Road, while mud+dirt+shrubs on Mountains. Either way, you'll hate falling. I've known Rachel in New World Disorder 9 or 10? More Power Rachel! More Power Athertons!!

  • nice bike :))

  • road biking is more danger than downhill racing?

  • @bansheescream1234567 it actually depends... in MTB since it is more technical you get lots of bumps and bruises at low speeds, while in Road Biking is alot morer about physical performance, that means lots of speed, that means of you fall off the bike there will be no mud nor snow nor plants to absorb the shock... just nice and smooth asphalt and occasionaly, a vehicle too :)

  • @bansheescream1234567 yes road biking is more dangerous becuase of the fact you arent in control of what the dumb ass in the car is doing if there were no cars id say no

  • @bansheescream1234567 yes because theres a lot of riders and you can crash with them and fall the other injuries on their face is because they dont use fullface helmet on road biking

  • @bansheescream1234567 No, road biking is childs riding compared to DH mountian bike racing.

  • @rabid1canadian tard comment.

  • @rabid1canadian you're wayyy off. Sure in terms of technical skill, absolutely. In terms of pace management and climbing ability or making everyone else feel completely spent, it's difficult. Besides, I'd love to see you ride all the Classics at pro pace with the peloton and call it child's play. 25+ mph average over cobblestones is not easy...

  • Theres no way in hell I could get hit by a truck and live.....TOUGH CHICK......Gah....not enough girls like her... -_-

  • pobre muneca!!

  • Shes tough. Nuff said.... So how much for the new bike?

  • водилу машины на кол

  • full face for speed.....

  • i love you rachel

  • that is really swollen

  • yep, riding with cars is pretty risky, glad to see your alive rachel

  • ouch

  • Great Rachel! Best wishes for your health!

  • athertons cool

  • tough as nails woman here folks, champ

  • 18th was my birth day xD

  • just like her older brothers... cant keep them down.... 3 machines that know how to throw bikes around for fun!! be good to her when she returns!

  • Comment removed

  • lol mountain bikes

  • whats wrong with road bikes u idiots, all the top downhillers ride them for fitness, let me guess you think your cool just cause you ride a mountain bike

  • i've always wanted a roadie, sometimes i get sick of the extra weight a dh oriented bike has, and i'm always scred it'll get stolen

  • Damn you guys, we could have lost one of the most gorgeous woman on earth and you can only think in insulting each other Mother, my God, guys... just get a room and settle down your differences.

    I mean, f&$%ck man; grow up already. Geez!

    Is good to see her up and running in one piece.

  • fuck,that's a proper woman-mad as fuck and fit as fuck!!!!!!

  • road bike... lol

  • fignon i cant b botherrd to answer u anymore ur a boring bastard and ur ur momma's over so shes wanting me oh yeah where u from bastard

  • rachel ur always looking hot also GET WELL SOON ....xxx

  • get well soon rach!!!...you can do it!!!...

  • "I'll never ride a road bike again, ... ever." Word!

  • ive just come up with the best idea ever - a bike rack on the back of an ambulance!!!!

    Paramedic;- "ouch! looks like youve dislocated your knee"

    Me;- "just put my fking bike on your bike rack will you"!

  • I used to dh mtb, but i only got 1 ligament remaining (PCL) in my right knee, so I got a road bike thinking itd be safer................

    Now I overtake cars (going dh) at 40-45 mph into and out of blind bends, without gloves or helmet (top speed 57mph), but I`ve never fallen off (at speed, anyway, but i broke my hip going slow on ice).

    at least with a road bike, when you do fall off and need the ambulance, youre already lying on the road, so theres good access for the paramedics

  • rachel is fit..

  • Tough British Gal.

  • What was rachel`s time at vallnord andorra?

    I found a trail that is 1200m long which is kinda like the one in vallnord. my time on it was 4 minutes and 52 seconds.i know it sucks compared to gee`s 2minutes and 41 seconds.

    i hope im close to rachel or sabriena jonniers time.

  • dude!can you imagine it?gee,a skiny little guy is just stand over there,in front of your eyes,but with helmet on,he is just another person!he is the world mtb dh champion,omg,i cant believe it!how come he is just so close to us but so far!the athertons is a miracle!especially little rachelXD

  • ouch, poor old rache, the A team will not be winning this year =(

  • yay!monster is taking the win,yay!

  • Comment removed

  • okay i was wrong then

  • lukephil70 +100500. This everything what I can say. Rachel can beat all of you on every course.

  • for all you idiots out there who are dissing rachel, she is an amasin biker and person i went to school with her and she hasnt changed one bit she has a great personality and didnt deserve this to happen to her her, the brothers are also great supportive like a family should be

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, i wanna ask the same question,lol...

    i love animal commencal and virginia woolf...

  • This could have ended so much worse than it did, and i'm glad rachel got away with as little damage as she did, she is an inspiration to female mountainbikers and any guys like me know we need a hell of a lot more of those!

    and shes pretty hot too

  • i'm sorry fat head figon but are you world downhill champ?

    are you sponsored? have you ever been or experince a head on collision on your bike?

  • The sound cuts out before she starts talking in the apartment! Wha?

  • this is shit, hope she gets better soon and can race the worlds this year :)

  • Darwin award nomination. Headphones on the road. Head down. Please don't put any more genes like this into the gene pool!!! Apart from anything else, it's a crime to here words like 'gnarly' and 'stoked' coming from an English person.

  • I agree, she a fucking idiot, lucky to be alive, and she shoudl stop pretending to be a yank

  • hey get well soon again! Now you will always remember to wear a helmet, even if you are as professionally as we all writing here never will be :)

  • and stay on the correct side of road and lok where your going, Idiot

  • sorry about the date, LOL. it was late when i made this!

  • Like, harsh.

  • When does she actually say 'its the biles fault.' Were you actually watchin or jackin off over her because you cant get a bird in real life.

  • Hey, your dinner is getting cold, momma is calling homebird

    But whats baffles me is, how you can defend this dumb bitch?

  • Comment removed

  • another dummy crawls out of the woodwork, why dont u ride into a truck too , might shut you up permanently

  • Comment removed

  • Calling someone Dumb, ie you and her dumb and dumber is an assesment of intelligence, not hatred, i know this is complex for your small immature brain, anyone who rides a bike is good, but like all walks of life some are dumber than others, we clear?

    kiss xx

  • Comment removed

  • She is not from Ireland u dumb ass

  • she is british kid right?and wait,did ya notice that it is written on april 18 2009 in the begining of this vid?

  • yesh i know that i was talking about FIGNON

  • I was talking about fignon - I love rachel she's so sweet

  • Shut the fuck up you jewish twat. The fact she said 'i wont ride a road bike again' doesn't mean she is blaming the bike, she is just giving a final comment and when riding offroad there are no cars to hit.

  • Your right, no cars to hit but riding with your head down aint you gonna smack into a tree??? The dumb bitch hit the truck cos she wasn't looking where she was going. She would do the same on a mtb off road. Just replace the words truck for tree.

  • so your saying that because she wasnt paying attention for one second that it automatically makes her a dumb bitch? Oh and I bet you have never done the same whether it be riding or driving have you, you stupid fuckass. Also when riding downhill, its a competition not a stroll in the park you stupid motherfucker, and she is one hell of a rider. So all I have to say to you is get the cock out of your mouth you stupid fuck. HAVE A NICE DAY you piece of shit...Get well soon Rachel.

  • we have all done dumb things in our lives, this was one for her, im sure she will learn her lesson, for your mother, it was your birth, loss the attitude dildo

  • shut the fuck up cunt leave soccerman2324 alone hes right but hey so r u ur a bbw dildo
