New Documentary Chronicles Bienvenido Aguado Alba's Journey From Gymnastics to Red Bull Rampage
Bienve Aguado is easily one of the most athletic freeriders on the circuit. His aerial movement and body control is second to none. And, when his wheels are on the ground he's as authoritative and powerful a rider as anyone on the World Cup circuit.
But, Bienve's path to professional freeriding was about as far from ordinary as it gets. Find out his backstory in YT's new documentary, From Gymnastics to Rampage.
I won't rehash everything in the video, I just want to talk about how much sense it makes that he was so good at gymnastics prior to freeride and dirt jumping. It makes me wonder if that isn't the ticket for young riders interested in pursuing freeride to gain that air awareness and body control from a young age.
After all, now that it isn't as "progressive" for kids to do sports other than the traditional football, basketball, and baseball, why not just have them try gymnastics? Especially if they want to prepare for an action sports career.
