With ‘How Much Can You Bench’ as the latest entry in the Wibmer family’s groundbreaking series, another creative edit has been added to their extensive repertoire.
Gabriel Wibmer: “Munich is one of those cities that has endless possibilities for creative street riding. It’s got this perfect mix of modern architecture, unique structures, and open spaces that are perfect to play with. Then I got to mix that up with the beauty of the mountains in Osttirol. I love how benches, ledges, walls and open spaces all come together to create this massive playground for riders. I wanted to show everyday spots can be transformed into something way more exciting with the right perspective. You don’t need much to ride your bike and extend your skills. With a simple bench you can have a great time.”
Matthew Martin, Director – Cut Media: “Teaming up with Gabriel Wibmer is such an exciting opportunity. To attempt to show the complexity of his tricks with a strong sense of relatability, we decided to frame his tricks on what felt like nearly every bench in Munich. Using local riding locations to bring out Gabs’ personality throughout the project, so that whether he’s moving benches to create new lines, driving the action, or even interacting with the visual effects he was always bringing the energy on screen. The end result is a project we’re really stoked on – a dynamic, and playful piece that shows all that goes into making Gabs such a unique rider.”
