Creating, not competing, is Brage Vestavik’s mountain biking mantra. We’d add that destroying wheels may be another….
As a rule, we think of elite athletes as having a single-minded focus on the top of the podium. A place where they can stand alone and show everyone that they are the fastest, the strongest, the best. Not all athletes have that ethos, though. One such person is Norwegian mountain biker Brage Vestavik, the former World Cup downhill rider who now makes a living outside the confines of competition by creating content. Case in point, his latest production; Sound of Speed. And it’s nothing short of epicly brutal! I don’t think I’ve seen some ride with such power since Nathan Rennie chased glory on the world cup circuit!
We chose to film at Hafjell Bike Park, where I rode for the first time when I was seven-years-old, and where I’ve ridden every year since. Some of the trails there are the same as when I first tried them and they mean a lot to me.”Brage Vestavik
