 Sweet! I have just done the very same here in Mie with a Brocket build.... I saw your vid was on Transitions facebook page too guys!! Really nice vids. I can't wait for the Fujimi season to open... if you fancy a Brocket convoy down let me know and we'll truck up from Mie and say hi guys.

 Thank you very much! The build came together very smoothly. I have only been up to Fujimi once last year with another mate who was living in Aichi. buspilot.pinkbike.com He has some killer videos of his time here in Japan! I would love to get together and go for a ride, we have an array of steep rocky DH and some very cool FR trails here in our local mountains! Please enjoy your bottle, its a stupendous bike man! RidEOn!

 Thank you mate! Momo is riding cloud nine with his new ride! It had yellow stickers too but he swapped out for white! A white link would really bring it out! but yellow is sick too! RidEOn mate!

 I guess the Bottlerocket is Momo's new weapon. Never thought bike building could be so entertaining. I also like the small pickup truck which brought the frame. BuildOn!!
  • + 1
 Yes, this is Momos new bike! he saved up for it and now he is very happy! After riding my old bottlerocket he fell in love! The truck is weird but very common here in Japan! My blue van is the same car just with a roof! they are very simple get good gas mileage and hold bike with ease! ahahhhha Thank you for liking the video, its a pain to edit but if it comes out good then Im happy! RidEOn!

 Is it all filmed with GoPros or do you use diferent cameras? My GoPro sucks indoors brother Frown
  • + 1
 Really!
Its all my gopro!
I just put it here and there to switch the angles and then edit it into a video!
Why is your gopro not good indoors?
all my videos like the christmas video and thanksgiving video with the family was all with the gopro!
The pictures come out great as well!
RidOn!
  • + 1
 Maybe it's my indoor lighting that's not so strong brother...
  • + 1
 Yes, that can be. My gopro too tends to be dark sometimes so I brighten the video when editing! Sometimes it too dark though! When I film inside I tune the lights on but when not I dont use them much, ahahhha RidEOn!

 Quality build. You made a headset press ? Looking forward to seeing momo rip it on his new bike.
Hows your body healing up ?
  • + 1
 RideOn man!
the build came together nicely!
the head set press we built was very simple, like the one you showed me! It worked well but need practice making smooth!
Im still in pain but healing up, I can ride lightly and went for a little ride after lunch yesterday.
How about you? Are back in good health!
Momo will ride and ride hard. He is super stoked and very enthusiastic to ride and ride!
I hope to get a short light ride in this Saturday!
