Talented enduro riders like Kirian Mirabet Vidiella develop the kind of fine control mastery with their bikes that most mere mortals can only dream of. The Honda rider also maintains a growing YouTube presence, with new videos racking up thousands of views apiece. Humanity loves a spectacle, though—and Mirabet Vidiella knows it. While that’s probably not the only reason he decided to take his Honda Africa Twin and do a mid-air backflip on it, that fact certainly couldn’t have hurt.
Now, enduro riders have control etched into their muscle memory at an incredibly deep level. While we obviously can’t prove it, it’s probably in their bones somehow. While that’s an impressive skill-set, it’s a bit different from what’s needed to successfully accomplish a stunt like this. That’s why Mirabet Vidiella roped freestyle motocross rider Sebastian Westbergs into the mix. The Finnish MXer is a YouTube star in his own right, with a lively social media presence to match.
