Bert Ribul coming through with a ridiculous flatland combo…

Anyone who has tried to ride flatland knows that it is HARD. The amount of balance, control and precision that is involved is on another level. Over the years we’ve seen a ton of ridiculous tricks that make no sense, and it looks like there’s another one that Bert Ribul cooked up that combines a hop whip and a decade. We know hop whips are hard, and we’re not sure how the hell he was able to land the way he did and then go straight into a decade, but he did it. Hit play and check out a few angles.

“Whipcade. This trick has been in my head for around 5 years now. I’ve started trying it seriously last year though. It was a long road filled with blood, sweat and tears. I’m so happy to have pulled it all together. Worth the time spent trying.

Thanks to Dmitri Shushuyev for filming all those tries in the parking lot and having the patience to see it all through.” – Bert Ribul

Here’s an interesting BMX video we had sent through that features Bert Ribul giving us a little perspective on his take of what BMX is to him. The video isn’t necessarily focused on the riding, but there is definitely some amazing flatland riding in this that will really blow your mind. Add in some excellent film work and you have a video you don’t want to pass up! Check it!

Life. Life is unpredictable. At times it opens doors for you and at other times it grinds you to a pulp, but every cloud has a silver lining… maybe that is what makes it worth living.

Bert Ribul was once a young kid like anybody else, until that day when he was struck by a sight he will never forget and that which forever altered his life. A few years back it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to pursue that what he has once found as a kid…

This was a completely self-funded project with no support of any companies. I did want to try an idea that was going around in my head for a very very long time and being absent from the scene and filming in general for 3.5-4 years I had no expectations going in. I didn’t know whether Bert has changed his number or not, but I gave it a shot and wrote to him. That very same late evening got a reply and the rest is history as they say. Won’t bore you with the details and will just let you enjoy.
Thank you to the artists as well for allowing us to use their outstanding songs for this project and thank you to the security guard that let us shoot at that particular parking lot without any confrontations, despite the fact his superiors were telling him to throw us out.
