Nick Bott | JIB: Tape #4

Nick Bott’s standout section from “Jib: Tape #4” is the third section from the video to be uploaded to the Jib Vimeo account. Nick’s section transitions perfectly from the preceding Stink Pit section of the video. From start to finish Nick’s section is full of solid riding (some of the videos best in my opinion) and bangers. Be on the lookout for more sections from “Jib: Tape #4” right here as they are released online.
