Watch: Jamie Civil’s Masterclass In Backhand Barrel Riding

He may prefer to hide away from the limelight, but Jamie Civil keeps drawing attention to himself in pumping hollow waves.

Civil would have to be one of New Zealand’s best barrel riders and this edit by Tim Shaw and Oscar Johns attests to that.

Filmed over a winter in the deep, deep, cold, south of New Zealand, this full edit includes, according to filmmaker Tim Shaw, “some raw footage and a couple of close makes”. Some of these full sliding drops into these pits are insane.

Grab a coffee, hit play and be mesmerised …
