The undersigned hereby agree that it’s time for Gee Atherton to chill out already. We’re proud of you, man. Winning World Cups, the overall, World Champs multiple times, Red Bull Hardline, and several podiums at Rampage, not to mention countless unforgettable video parts, starting your own bike brand, and creating one of the most progressive bike parks in the world. You’ve done it all. 

Now please chill out. No one says you have to give up riding. But maybe explore another hobby. Like woodworking. Or gardening. Maybe you could have something to look forward to other than guinea-pigging the scariest jump or cliff face that anyone’s ever seen. No offense, but you’re, like, old now. And not old like a normal person, but like, holy shit the things you’ve done to your body in less than 40 years/Darth Vader/“more machine than man” kind of old.

We thought about posting this after "Slateline," and "Ridgeline," and then after that gross rag doll crash filming the next video. Then you filmed that crazy cliff in the Dolomites and we were all pretty worried. And we obviously thought about posting this again after your big crash and helicopter ride at Rampage. Now you’re doing it again at Hardline with that crazy 60 foot tall scaffolding canyon gap thing?

No one will think less of you for just chilling. Maybe for a bit, but also, you know, maybe forever too. In fact, we’re all signing this petition because we hope you will. Nothing would make us happier than seeing you live to the age of 50. Because we love you.

Signed, your friends and fans.
