InFocus - Sunny South

We were tired idling away our time at home in the bad weather, so we once again drove down to the sunny south - to Italy, to be exact to the bike park Paganella and then further down to Lake Garda. When we heard that Jinya Nishiwaki - a Chromag teamrider from japan - was stopping by at bikepark Samerberg we met up with him on a rare sunny day shooting and having a fun ride!

 Hey Jinya. I did a cut and paste for 'fathippo' who was lazy. Keep making vids of you and your hardtail. Luv 'em! I also ride everything on my hardtail but a full sus may be in the near future.

 Jin, you are the greatest. watching a hardtail rip brings back so many great memories from the 90s I wish my old back could take a hardtail beating, you will ujnderstand in a few years

 For viewing yes, why? Bavaria is called Northern Italy anyway, right? Soo not a problem at all...

 Can someone please tell me why it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played" This has been happening a lot lately, except for PB videos embedded via YouTube and Vimeo. I'm missing out on all the sick videos! ;(

 Try and update your flash player, might be the problem...
good luck Smile

 Thanks, but it seems the latest version of flash is the problem-- uninstalled, reinstalled but to no avail! Now I can't view jack (except embedded YouTube and Vimeo videos) even after reverting to the previous version of flash. Starting to think that it might be an android-related issue. Heck, I'll just have to go back to watching videos on my laptop.

 Great he's on a hard tail but watch closer he avoids all the drops and gnarly stuff and barely gets any air on the jumps! I'll stick with my freeride rig and anything that comes along. Avoiding features is no fun!
