I have 26ism

An awesome adventure on a really hot and humid day with tons of heavy rain. We made all together and ended up having a great time with a beautiful rainbow at the end! Thank you Suga and Nakashima for making it our way! RideOn summer 2012

 Nice one Nico! Nice chilled out feel to this vid. I was riding DH with Kurato the day before yesterday at Fukui Izumi, a DH park a couple of hours from here. We had such a great time, just like you guys. If you are ever in our neck of the woods, we have to get some ride time together. Take it easy!

 Thank You mate!

I had a blast with Suga and Nakashima!

Its cool they made to my trails safely and then up to Fukui as well!
Awesome!

I want to go to Fukui it looks amazing!
How do you like it compared to Fujimi?

We want to plan a trip or at least I do to your area for sure!

when the time comes you will know first hand!

RideOn!

 We have ridden Fujimi many times. This was our first visit to Izumi, and we only rode one of the courses to get a good feel for what the best lines were. Fujimi has a gondola, and is between 10~15 minute decent, depending on the course. Izumi is 2.5~3 minute decent, and truck uplift. First impression of Izumi is that it's been built and designed by someone with experience and a clear vision of of what a fun DH course should be. It's super flowy, lots of bermed-up corners, tabletops, jumps etc. it's 2.5 minutes of busy, busy fun! There are plenty of lines to choose from on each track. On the bad side, there is no electrical power or running water in the green season, so you need to come prepared. Also, there were about 15~20 people on the day we visited, and the uplift was going constantly. If it gets busy, it may be a bit of an issue having too many bikes and riders, not enough trucks. But who knows, maybe they have more vehicles. But, to sum up, it's a whole lot of fun, and not a exhausting as Fujimi.

 That sound fun!
I heard the rider who made the course was trying to get a whistler feel to the trail.
Im use to riding busy trails too so that sounds fun.
Even though a 2-3 minute trail sounds short, I know it can be a blast if built right!

I did find myself kind of board at Fujimi when I was there in an odd way.
The trials are long and fast but kind of boring as for sections, lots of straights and fast berms with no line leading to another section just another long straight, well that was A and C line.

I actually like B line the most as it was tight and very technical compared to A and C.

Izumi sounds like fun and our mate Momo wants to go to Izumi too!

The vehicle situation also does not sound very economical to get to the top!
I would to see or hear of a better way, even if you just walked up or pedaled it should only take 20 minutes as its a 3 minute DH! Yes, No?

Well, our paths are bound to meet one day!
Im sure when we do our bikes will be primed and ready for action!
I would love to ride with Kai and Dave as well!

RideOn matey!"

 Thank you mate! We are in the prime of our heat and yes that means 3 more weeks and we will start getting some cool mornings as autumn comes along! The Rune looked awesome dressed in all black and red! He loved the ride and naturally balanced the bike on his first ride! We had a great day in the monsoon rain and heavy humidity, ahahha RideOn!

 Nice video Niko. Its true that close ups of the bikes is a good idea. Nice to see what kits are being used. The trails look like some of the ones we have here in Hawaii after a hard rain. Good job brah! Aloha&Shaka.

 Sweet vid! Im glad you show close ups of the bikes, something more people should do! That Cherry Bomb is sick!!!
  • + 1
 Thank you buddy! I too love bikes and have always thought the pro movies should show the bikes more. As we ride we like to mimic the bikes and riders so yes showing your bike is awesome! The Cherry Bomb is a killer bike! I love it! There is no other bike I want at the moment, it climbs awesome and jumps great! Maybe your carbon nomad but well this cherry is good for me, ahahhahha RideOn!
