Legendary Austrian power ripper Mr. Gabriel Hyden may arguably be one of the most pleasurable riders to watch. His style and trick vocabulary has reached a level of absolute perfection and with the amount of self expression within his tricks its almost like your watching a live Iggy Pop show on wheels. -Josh Swayze

“There must be chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.” -Fredrik Nietzche
