Video: Laurie Greenland Gets Loose in Queenstown

by Ed Spratt  

bigquotesYou'll find no fancy audio trickery or upbeat music in this edit, because this is the Sound of Speed with Laurie Greenland. Nothing but pure earthy tones and the shred of tyres on soil to lull you into a full state of stoke.

Winning his first UCI World Cup in Val Di Sole this year, Laurie Greenland has been on fire all season. In this video, Greenland takes some time-out from racing to lap it up at Queenstown Bike Park in New Zealand.— Red Bull

 @leon-forfar: the only two. RB normaly wants just one female and male athlete of every country

 @xMARTINx: I think it has more to do with skill and how high up the rankings/ results/how much exposure they receive than what country they are from.
  • 3 2
 @leon-forfar: I think RB will also watch out who is on the market, Rachel is not at the beginning of her career anymore and you have to secure the future. Same with Gee. Also results count and Gee is not Top 10 anymore...unfortunately.
