With all the hype and controversy surrounding the world's biggest freeride mountain bike contest, Red Bull Rampage, it's easy to forget the roots of the event: riders pushing their limits on a mountain bike. We follow Reece as he tests his creativity and skills during his first Rampage experience.

bigquotesCompeting in Rampage is a whole different ball game. The actual competition side is similar to other events, but there are many additional pressures which make it tough...building an entire trail top to bottom, guinea pigging your stunts, extended periods of no practice then game time..it's a unique duality like no other, but I love challenges. - Reece Wallace

 Can't believe that this guy, clearly an amazing rider, with a pretty sick run (360, backflips, big gaps & drops) didn't even qualify! Shows the level is so high, but also an insight into what IS needed to make the cut - Was his line too smooth/not gnarly enough?

 Reece...what a beautiful video! I am so proud of you son. You set a goal and over achieved it. Well done you! Thanks for mentioning Liam as I know he was a huge help to you. People who set their goals and follow their dreams are the ones to watch! The harder you work, the luckier you get! ( paraphrase Mark Twain). You are my darling boy and I love you.....did I mention you were my easiest labour and delivery??? Love, mom

 Pretty humble dude...reminds me of Berrecloth. Really hope anyone will be able to pick whatever lines they think they can hit...not just whatever's available. First couple of years I could see it. Now that Rampage has been around...everyone should be free to hit whatever they want. I bet Vink would have let anyone try his line.............not that anyone should. Great first try at Rampage Reece.
