Fabio Wibmer FLIPPING THE SCRIPT Wibmer is in complete harmony with his environment in this mountainous playground Overlooked by Patscherkofel mountain on a bright day in rural Tyrol, just a few kilometres from his Innsbruck home, Fabio Wibmer is about to start riding. And when the Austrian pro gets on his bike, the world watches. Most recently, the downhill and trials bike rider wowed millions online with his video Home Office, made in response to lockdown. In the film, he transforms his house in ways that few would imagine possible – jumping off his roof on his bike onto a mattress perched in a tree, netting a basketball with his back wheel, and binning a bag of rubbish using a homemade catapult. Wibmer’s tricks have a sense of humour. They’re also insanely difficult to pull off. These sorts of unique moves are exactly what the 25-year-old has been training for almost all of his life. Wibmer, it would seem, has a more vivid imagination than most of us. And it makes the world his playground. “I look at the absolutely normal things around me from a different perspective,” the Austrian says. “I think of using them in ways that could be a good idea. And then I put those ideas into practice.” Wibmer makes it sound so simple, and for him, in some ways, it is. “You don’t need a budget or a chic location to make the most of your creativity,” he says. “Sometimes you even have better ideas when your opportunities are limited.” Simple, maybe. But not easy. The rider grew up in a mountain village in East Tyrol – not the greatest springboard to worldwide fame. “I love Oberpeischlach,” he says, “but there was absolutely nothing to do there. We didn’t as much as a piece of even ground. You could play football for five minutes and then the ball would roll off downhill.” Wibmer was six when he realised something important: a meadow and a fallen tree can actually offer hours of fun if you think creatively – and get yourself the right tools. A meadow can be a moto cross route, and a fallen tree can be part of a trial obstacle course. 70 THE RED BULLETIN
