Get to Know Raibu
Stratospheric superpipe methods and back-to-back double corks are just the tip of Raibu’s silky smooth iceberg. When he’s not podiuming at international events like the Burton U•S•Open, this high-velocity, high amplitude ripper can be seen sending it in the backcountry for films like “Ink,” or lighting up pop-up transition sessions with his expressive style.
Catch Raibu in Paved, a new film from Burton and Red Bull Media House.

What does Raibu Katayama ride?
Raibu’s style very much extends to his kit—and while his slightly baggier, more oversized vibe has its roots in the park, he needs gear that’s every bit as versatile as his riding resume. The Reserve collection allows him to mix and match sizes and fits to dial his kit exactly the way he likes it without sacrificing the performance and features he needs to keep turning heads all over the mountain. Cinched up, swagged out, locked in.
