See this guy shred a DH track... on a city bike
Big lines and huge tricks are no problem for the daring Fabio Wibmer, whatever bike he uses.
Fabio Wibmer is an enterprising chap. The young Austrian trials star came to prominence with his Limitless Trail GoPro and Fabiolous Escape edits last year and now he's gone a step further by challenging himself to ride a granny bike down a MTB downhill track.
Watch the video above to see how Fabio got on with his unfamiliar set-up.
This isn't as easy as it sounds and it took some expert handling to navigate the heavy-duty city bike down the trails of Saalbach and Leogang where this clip was filmed. These bikes aren't built for tricks either but that doesn't stop Wibmer going for it!
Watch the crash reel below to see just how hard it was for Fabio to ride the city bike on the trails and to trick successfully.
All in all, it was one of the best and funniest experiences I've ever had. Trying to push myself is the best thing ever
Wibmer did pimp up his ride a little bit for the shredding. Magura HS brakes, Continental tyres and Crankbrothers pedals were added to make sure there was good grip and suitable braking to ride the tracks.
Note: no animals were harmed during the filming of this edit!
