The 29-year-old Austrian was the first person in the world to ride a bike over the roof of the concert hall and also dared a rollover in the air. “This is pretty cool. Especially when you are at the start and have the view,” said Wibmer in Hamburg.hamburg.
Stunt ends shortly before the roof edge
After the stunt, the biker came to a standstill just a few meters off the roof edge of the famous concert hall on the Elbe. Immediately behind it goes around 100 meters. The “Elphi” stunt is definitely among the top ten among its many actions.
The “Backflip” campaign is the starting signal for the European tour of “Masters of the Dirt”, an action show in which extreme athletes show Stunts with various vehicles. Wibmer drove more than a dozen times over a ramp specially attached to the Elbphilharmonie and used one of the typical roof waves for his swing.

The architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron once referred to the roof of the concert hall as “fifth facade”, as Elbphilharmonie spokesman Martin Andris said. Because the mighty, 700 tons of heavy and wave -like roof construction has been clearly recognized from a distance and has long since become the distinguishing sign of the famous building in the port of Hamburg and the Hanseatic city.
