There it is, folks. That’s Spanish roadracing and supermoto ace Dani Ribalta goofing around for the camera and getting his elbow on the ground. In case you’re wondering, no, he didn’t crash.

A popular method of training and keeping in shape during the off-season, many racers turn to their supermoto machines to stay sharp. A quick Google search for Ribalta reveals that these kind of antics aren’t a one-time occurrence, either — Dani is a YouTube sensation with a plethora of videos and pictures of him demonstrating his skills on two wheels.

The following video is a clip from a supermoto compilation video entitled “Supermoto Extreme 2.0” Here’s hoping you enjoy watching it as much as I do.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
