Video: Gabriel Wibmer Hits Creative Urban Lines in 'The Grind'

 sure the riding is mediocre, but the total absence of taste and style exhibited by the filming, editing, and music choice is pretty remarkable!

 BINGO

 This pegs the question, is this sponsored content?

 I checked his bio. He does not have a box background

 A fellow pinkbike put it best how I felt after watching a similar video:

Consider me 'whelmed...


Something is lacking, maybe the Redbull Helmet and support/guidance ;-)

 @DGWW: bango bongo

 May I add a lack of originality? The Dockland Building stunt has already been done "punk style" in 2010 by a very cool guy:

 Issa sledgehammer

 You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

 lololol roflcopter

 The music really does make or break edits. There was a Sunday-Vans one a few months ago with heavy moves all through, but the shitty Getty-images spec soundtrack just destroyed it.

 I was thinking the same. Why finish it off with stock music after all that hard work riding and filming.

 @karlheldt:
maybe to save a few bucks on licence fees, inflation yadayadayada....

 The 'fake' sound effects ruined the edit for me.

 Maybe on a DJ, but not an FS…

 @audeo03: Rubbing the "free bikes" in our face.

 I say bring on more pegs!

 This is the joke. It's here, over your head.

 back in 2004 Marzocchi even made a dirtjump fork with through axle for begs and had stainless steel grinding guards. it was called Dirt Street fork

 Why does it matter to you what someone else does to their bike?

 Streets are flat in most cities

 @Sardine:
but creativity is not limited somehow on urban streets, other street trial riders / free riders have managed to produce lots more wow moments, even with slightly worse riding but better production/music/ creative storylines and settings.

 Thank you for remembering tremblay. Truly a talented rider who quietly did some of the best moves on a mtn bike. His 360 drops back in the early 2000nds were pretty ground breaking at the time and kind of slipped under the radar. Drop in for the win.

 @fernie-funguy: Ofcourse! his and Shawn Denny's sections on drop in tv were always my favourite! Me and Dylan actually follow each other on Instagram ha

 @adzrees: What a character combo those two were. Loved the episode from the first season of drop in where the lady had asked where they got their dreadlock hats from and they revealed THE HAIR IS REAL! Classic
Drop in update. Darren Butler still shreds although his ankles are just worked from that horrible crash in Kamloops he limps a lot first thing in the morning. Byron Grey still shreds although his body is almost worse than Darren on account of the fact he has eaten shit so many times (bikes and snowmobiles). Mike Kinrade still shreds but fatherhood has caught up and he has a regular job these days (he was lodge manager at retallick Heli ski for a number of years while they got into the bike scene) Shawn Denny still shreds but mostly bmx racing with his young son. I rode dirt jumps with him last year and his style is still next level.
You probably know more about Dylan. I heard he was on a little island off Vancouver island and runs a bike shop/museum. Haven’t seen him in at least fifteen years…….
I was in the fernie episode with the boys and look back fondly and yes I still “shred” although at fifty I don’t bounce like the old days.
And I still have a norco 4x4 that is in sick shape.

 @fernie-funguy: haha yeah! I remember that!
To be fair that drop he did - that roll-in kind of thing to road gap was brutal!
Its so good to hear they'll all still riding and doing their thing.
Thats it with mountain biking - it takes it toll on your body but we all keep going for the love of it, its more than a sport, its a passion, a way of life and a community i guess,
That is pretty sick that you rode with Shawn - is he on Instagram these days?
Yeah Dylan like most of the drop in guys found that life balance of being a dad with a couple of kids and out riding, from what he posts he's still got next level skills and style but I think he's more all mountain/enduro/ exploring riding.

Yes! nice - I've still got a couple of my old bikes but they arent as comfortable riding these days ha

 Great for slowing down on those rails when it gets too fast and scary!

 This is what I was wondering.... ?

 Its probably got a couple cogs ground off cassette so he can shift to a spot we’re the chain just slips over em then shift back to whatever gear he wants,I think Fabio did the same thing

 @Crankhed: Sam Pilgrim did it as well.
Listen to the sounds afterwards, every time he makes such maneuvers ...

 @Crankhed: I know the old Chase mod, but it looked like a full cassette,

 @chrisfirth: I believe it was called the "Chase Neutral gear"

 @bunky4130: If you want to get picky the SIC kit was called that. Riders did a DIY mod.
