yeah baby, super low and fast, what a BOSS !!!!.....GO MOMO GO !!!!....let's all get together and let's try to get this kid the support he needs, you would have destroyed the field with a full suspension !!!...you definitely deserves the opportunity of racing outside of Japan too !!!...

Yes, his skills are super dialed.
He rides his HT as fast as can be, if on a full he could have taken first I bet!
There was 4-5 seconds from 5th yo 1st so that could have been the little nags and hang ups the HT has.

...are there any major shops in your area that could hook him up ???...Niko, I really don't mean to put you on the spot but you've got so many vids with Momo and you know him the best,,,could it be possible for you to put together a portfolio with a short edit and send it to a company like Transition, Momo's personality and dedication to riding his bike is exactly what those guys are looking to represent their company,,,the fact that Momo is riding a Tr in some of the vids can't be bad either

Yes, he is actually riding this frame which is from fireeye as a sponsor.
But it would be cool to get him on some other parts too.
As for TR that would be sick but they only sponsor riders in the US so, if he wanted to be supported from TR he would need to apply to TR Japan. There is already a team here in Japan but it only racing.
Let me know what you think, he has the potential to be a full on pro he just needs the support to push his imagination.
He will ride anything for free so, getting sponsored will increase his opportunity.
I was luck and got some bikes from DaBomb.
Im very grateful for the chance to ride and make videos for them.
Then in the same respect he got a frame from fireeye and has been pushing the limits of this HT!
But, I would like to see him riding a nice fully. He wants a short travel do it all FR bike!
Then next would be suspension.
He love SrSuntour forks.
They are easy to adjust to his liking and work good for jumps and drops!
Our LBC is already supporting him and Hair164 actually sponsored his race!
So,the boy needs some looking after but here in Japan its quite different.
If he were in the US or Canada I would see him getting support much easier!

a full suspension DaBomb with a SrSuntour up front would be a great rig for Momo, I had just mentioned the boys at transition because it just seemed like a perfect match...it doesn't really matters what he rides as long as he has the right Tools to compete against the other racers...huge props to Hiro for sponsoring his races !!!...it's very generous of him 
...Momo is Young, has the right attitude and definitely pro material no doubt about that...did Momo need to get licensed on a national level to race that dh serie ???....

Yes, I think Transition is a perfect match for him too!
No, he entered the sports class but to enter the elite class he needs a license.
I think he will apply for a license for the next race thats coming up soon.
He is sponsored from Fireeye and it would be cool to catch another frame.
Dabomb has a full line and their DH bike actually mimics the TR450!
I think our the distributor we deal with is thinking about a fully for him.
The problem is here in Japan, to get a sponsor nothing is direct.
So, most sponsors are from shops or distributors who want to advertise with a talented rider.
I got my DaBomb sponsor for my videos.
If I continued to just have fun and make videos with the new frames, the distributor would be happy.
But, Im old and hurt now so my riding is 30% less than that of 3-4 years ago.
Injury really hurts, ahhaahhahahha
Momo has the potential and he has lots of people working for him.
He currently has 3 bikes all that of which was giving to him.
In this picture the frame is a sponsor deal, the wheels are from gumball, the fork is from me.
So, he is pretty well taken care of in a way! ahahhahahha
