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.
