Legendary French Style

Benjamin Baldini is one of the most stylish and innovative stunt riders in the world. He is famous for pushing the limits of stunt riding by performing new tricks, increasing speed and weaving epic combinations. The fast side stand spin is named after Baldini himself.

We met after Ouest Bike Show in the suburbs of Paris and had a couple of hours to talk and to shoot some footage. For the first time, we saw the sit down power curve with the out and the epic 360 shuffle to the sit down spin. Speed is Ben’s main focus now: his style has changed after a break, and some great but slow tricks have disappeared. Ben did not do his signature tsunami because of a backache, or kangaroo stoppies because of cracked wheels, but he showed all the flatland madness. Also, there is some interesting information about his bike. Baldini rides a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja ZX636 stunt bike.
