Austrian freestyle mountain bike phenomenon Fabio Wibmer makes the fearsome Streif ski piste his playground for a jaw-dropping world-first descent unlike anything ever seen before.
In a video impossible to only watch once, Fabio Wibmer played out his childhood dream for his latest spectacular project ‘Fabio Wibmer – The Streif’ as put his own creative twist on the biggest downhill ski race in the world – the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel, Austria.
Filmed just an hour from where he grew up, Wibmer combined mountain biking with skiing to conquer the Streif’s most iconic spots during a unique freestyle descent that saw him reach a maximum speed of 107km/h and land multiple jumps including ones of 14m in height and 36m in length.
The edit switches between mind-blowing action and customary light-hearted fun as Wibmer takes on the formidable challenge in the only way he knows how.
I think the biggest Streif moment for me as a kid was seeing Bode Miller doing almost a wall ride in 2008 as he was going so fast he missed the corner. It had a huge impact on me and that’s where this idea came from as I wanted to get the same feeling he had, but with me on a bike.
