 Man, that's a super sweet video. Great riding, fun to watch, well put together. Job well done. I want to head over to that trail in the first section of the vid. Is it in Seto-shi? I'm coming from Kuwana in Mie pref. Could you give me some info on how to get to the tail head? Looks super fun, and hoping to hit it up over the festive season. Any advice you could give would be really appreciated. Keep up the good work, and well done once again!

 Thanks man. The trail is in Tajimi city near Ichinokura in a place called tsuzuhara-cho. The trail starts near the highest peak in the North of the forest. I am not sure what condition it would be in now as not many people ride here or even know of it. I stumbled across the trail a few years ago and together with a local guy we built the ramps and stunts on it. Coming from mie honestly maybe not worth it as in all likelyhood is in dis-repair ! However I would definitely recommend Nebiso dake (Highest mountain in Aichi) in Asuke-cho in Northern Aichi if you havent ridden there it is definitely worth the trip and easy to find ! Thanks for watching man.. RideOn.

 as usual by you guys: great vid with chilled out, full of fun atmosphere! My likes kind of riding Wink Allround bikes rule Big Grin

I don't know why I thought Japan to be super over built and overcrowded with few pieces of greenery left, I apologize for that redneck stereotyping. Your vids definitely teached me something otherwise Big Grin

 Thanks WAKI.
Allround bikes rule for sure.
Yeah there are still plenty of green spots left in Japan... endless mountain ranges with sweet singletrack too !

 It's surprising that even in densely populated areas, there's green space to be found. I was in Hong Kong last year and was surprised to discover a small but growing DH scene there... right on the island, minutes from the bustling downtown that you usually associate with that city. 3000+ feet of elevation, minutes from downtown... how do you get any better than that? (I guess if there was a lift?) Smile

 Fun to see the Spectrum Tech Wear active in Japan! Stuff originated from right here in Bellingham, WA while the company was still extant. Still wear the jerseys and shorts on nearly every ride.
