Sound of Speed: Reece Potter in New Zealand
Ski lift runs and speedy gap jumps from summer down under
High speed down a ski lift? Why not! Reece Potter starts his installment of Red Bull’s Sound of Speed with a bang, and doesn’t slow down.
The New Zealand rider splits the rest of the video between carving corners and flying through the air creating unreasonably large gaps on Queenstown’s dusty trails. It’s a wild ride from start to finish, and has us dreaming of next season’s bike park runs already.
From Red Bull:
“Certain mountain bike riders are blessed with special gifts. For some, that may mean a talent for line-spotting, for others it may mean the ability to rail corners faster and harder than anyone else. In Reece Potter’s case it is the uncanny ability to spot gaps. Watch him shred Cardrona Alpine Resort in the video below.
Reece Potter is a 25-year-old Kiwi originally from Takaka, but he’s lived for the last six years of his life in Queenstown. An apprentice builder by trade, he’s trodden the well-worn path of his fellow speedy Kiwis and raced downhill in Europe, but he’s now focusing on qualifying, so that he can travel a bit more extensively.”
