Video: One To Watch – Laurie Greenland

As we reflect on the year about to end it’s also worth using that reflection to help predict what is to come in the new year. One thing that we can almost certainly call a safe bet is the continued development of Laurie Greenland into a world class DH talent. He’s a junior rider who has made the podium at seven out of seven World Cup events in 2015, making top spot three times. He’s ended his season as winner of the World Cup title PLUS World Champion. We may all focus our attention on the seniors but it’s worth remembering that they were all junior riders once and even the biggest names on the DH circuit can’t all lay claim to the record that Laurie has chalked up in the last 12 months.

Laurie is definitely one of our top tips for the future.

This video gives a glimpse of the young lad’s talent.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
