Video: 'Bristol Daze' Featuring Laurie Greenland
There’s more to Laurie than meets the eye. You might know him as a driven downhill World Cup winning racer or a rider with as much style and swagger as a 70s motocrosser. But he’s also a chill dude that loves being at home, skating and surfing with his mates.
Laurie's hometown of Bristol is also a bit of an enigma. It’s a cultural contrarian, you could say. For a long time it’s been an anti establishment holdout for folks who have a healthy disregard for the status quo. If you're not familiar with the output of Bristol or some of its lore and biggest cultural exports, do yourself a favor and look it up.
In this short film we get to hear in Laurie’s own words what his life is about and see him cut some nice shapes aboard his bike and surfboard.
In this film Laurie can be seen riding a Santa Cruz Bullit ebike. Go check it out here
Filmed and edited by Chris Seager.

What trolls are too stupid to realise is that any social media interaction be it love or hate, helps the algorithm. Carry on under bridge living cock wombles.

Appropriate that they'd use Drum n Bass in the soundtrack for this. Laurie being from Bristol, home of some of the greatest DnB producers on the planet.

There's no apparent reason or need to use an e-bike on this kind of riding/video, so I guess this is adding a marketing look that is just wasting the chill vibe of this content

The best thing about riding ebikes is that you don't need a reason. So spin on it.

If you had ever ridden at Windhill then youd know that you get a lot more runs in on an ebike compared to pedalling.
