TV-program · Sport

"The Atherton Project" follows the brother-sister trio of Dan, Gee and Rachel Atherton as they compete in a pro downhill mountain biking series together. While the siblings encounter plenty of adventures while off the saddle, from judging bikini contests in British Columbia to bungee jumping off bridges in New Zealand, most of all they are focused on maintaining their standing as three of the top riders on the World Cup circuit.
