Mini bio

How it started.

Fabio grew up in a small mountain village in East Tyrol, Austria. He rode motocross as a child, then found a different direction after watching Danny MacAskill’s Inspired Bicycles video in 2009. He began practising bike tricks after school and filming his progress.

Finding his audience.

He joined MacAskill’s Drop and Roll team in 2014. His staged police chase Fabiolous Escape, filmed around his home village and released in 2015, became a turning point. The related GoPro contest entry won the grand prize, announced in January 2016. Fabio has described that hometown film as the beginning of his career making content.

A world of riding spots.

Urban Freeride lives and Wibmer’s Law brought his riding into city streets. Home Office took the same inventiveness into his house during lockdown. Later films included a ride through Valparaíso in Chile and The Streif, set on the famous ski course in Kitzbühel. Alongside the films and live shows, he has built SICK!, Nineyard and the bike marketplace Bikeflip.
