The Red Bull Hardline downhill race is coming up this weekend, taking place on a custom race course so gnarly its own creator, Dan Atherton, fractured his scapula while testing it this week and will miss the race he created.

In his stead, his brother Gee gives us a preview of all but a few sections of the course, and damn if it doesn't look rowdy. Even with the throttle open and at a speed most of us would be uncomfortable driving down the street at, Gee looks like he's just barely making it onto the landings of each of the massive kickers. We're excited to see how this weekend turns out, and hope no more riders get hurt.
