Laurie Greenland
Laurie got his first mountain bike at the young age of 8 years old and described it as one of the highlights of his life.
He started racing at the age of 12 and used to really feel the pressure.
Riding his bike meant everything to him and he was determined to do well within his sport.
After not long on the racing scene he felt more relaxed and knew that he wanted to make downhill mountain biking his full time profession.
In 2015 Laurie was Junior World Cup Champion, with him moving on to the men's Elite category in 2016.
In his first season (2016) as an Elite rider, he placed 2nd in the World Championships gaining a silver medal and 16th Overall in the UCI Downhill World Cup Series.
