He gives a forbidden a good eyeballing at the end of the Sunday edit. Dropping a wee hint?
Here's that edit - so good!
I clicked that video for a laugh and a trip down memory lane, but yo Laurie is straight up destroying on that old bike and flat pedals. Super impressive and entertaining riding on any bike.
RIPPING.
Gah damn that boy can ride a bike
This is video gold. Need moar of these vibes!
There is something wrong with that bike. It’s got really small 26 inch wheels. We all know that only 29 and 32 are the only ones that can be ridden these days.
Ai edit 26" is clearly unrideable.
Looks like Laurie to me.
Dang, beat me to it.
confirmed, laurie on forbidden… stoked!

Mathieu Dupelle (ex Kona / Forbidden team manager) wrenching for Dak on the Scott Team.
Jack Moirs frameworks bike check has full shimano drivetrain and brakes. Hadn’t he been on Stan for his enduro run?
Shimano's new but he was dropped by SRAM a while ago (last year IIRC), it's also why he's on DVO suspension.
Stevie Schneider off RAAW and on Yeti!?
Swedish slopestyle phenom Alma Wiggberg signs with Red Bull:
Good deal for Alma... She's definitely one of the women who is raising the bar..
We already know his name as he's been making waves for some time already (which is crazy to say given that he's only 11 at present), but Weston Lukens aka "Wes_sends" is set to take the next step now as he has signed on with Neko Mulally's Frameworks program. They've developed a custom 24/26 mullet for him to ride, and by the looks of this reel, Wes is feeling at home on the new rig already. The future is bright...in fact, the future is now!
I thought Wes Lukens broke his leg last month. Maybe he can add "fast healer" to his résumé!
(He also raced at Mountain Creek just over a week ago. Incredible.)
Damn, this is RAD. Full Honda DH team vibes from back in the day. Here's a first taste of what Antidote Solutions is bringing to the downhill racing table now, and we will have more info including the technical details to reveal at the Loudenvielle World Cup. Fun times ahead!
