 Mate, That trails looks like so much fun! If you have that trail on your doorstep, you are a very lucky human being! And wow! Where did you pull all your riding buddies from? Excellent work, sir! If I get the chance to come visit you, I want to hit this trail for sure!
Don't forget to book some time in Golden Week for Fujimi. It will be mental!!!

 Thank you Matey.
If ever in the area for a stay this trial is top on the list.
We have spent hours on this trial in the last 2 years getting her in its current condition.
We had a great ride catering to the FRing spirit of all the new riders.
We had a group travel up to ride with us so it was a special event.

Im going to have to start planing a trip to Fujimi soon.
If possible I would love to get up there with a couple of lads so our trip will be a great adventure.
You invited me up there years ago when you purchased your bullet.

RideOn Matey!

 Dude that was AWESOME! (as usual)
I have to agree with alot of the guy above, that huge rock drop looks like a BLAST! There's jsut something about a drop being natural rock instead of 2x4's

 Cheerio mate!
The massive drop get credit to Momo for finding it and building his courage to drop in!
In person its a wicked drop that rolls to a slant so you really have to pull to clear the gap!

This is our personal trail we have put tons of work into!
Im glad after 2 years its finally becoming a nice place for riders to gather!

 Chizzer that would be a pleasure.
This ride too, a group travel to come ride.
They loved the trial which is a nice XC climb up a steep grate then there is a beautiful ridge line dropping into the forest.
All in all if you were to bomb down its a good 30-40 minute descent.

If ever in the area or coming this way we would love to cater to you and your buddies.
RideOn and take care in the off season.

2 years ago we got permission to build her so its been a slow growing process.
After 2 years we have an array of drops jumps and smooth flowing trail.
Coinciding with nature and building some natural sections while keeping the forest clean is our aspiration.
Its a steep rocky trail from top to bottom, this was just the lower 1/3.

He needs to go to Poland and ride with you to learn some new style!

NutsGuy has a massive trial in Norther Japan, I would love to travel up there one day and get to ride those awesome jumps!
There are some great riders here in Japan but the whole scene is still in the dark.

flag Bogumil1202247 (Jan 20, 2012 at 2:53)
 The best way to lern style is watching movies with Thomas Vanderham, Cedric Gracia or Brendan Fairclough they are my favorite riders especially Vanderham.
And in my opinion these three riders have the best style.
Vanderham whips and style is very slow and calm even without slomo he looks like in slomotion.
Gracia pumping his bike over all rocks and roots and in the air his style also is very calm.
Fairclough fly like frog and his whips are so big and looks super easy for him.
Also Steve Romaniuk, Matt Hunter, Matt Miles and Dylan Sherrard ride super smoth and I like them.

Trip to NutsGuy would be great this trail is very cool but as I can see yours are also great and long.
Japan is good place for MountainBiking because as I can see people out there are very open calm and cheerful and they ride for fun and I can see from the all vids that they have fun.

flag nikoniko (Jan 20, 2012 at 18:08)
 I think so 100%!
We too love all the riders you mentioned and we watch their style all the time dude!

Great description of everyone!

The vibe in Japan is fully laid back and some what slow as most guys are very scared to ride or jump. So, the riders like Momo and I who are for the spirit of the ride help push the sport in a positive direction.

It would be cool to go ride with nutguy in the 2012 year sometime.
He is about a 10 hour drive away!
