...here it is...crank the volume to the max. The crash is near the end of the trail...you can hear me in agony, in a lot of pain and trying desperately to breed...I think I have a broken rib...The crash was on sunday and it still hurts like hell...I'll be, for sure, down for a couple of weeks, much to my sadness...
RideOn brothers...

Flat Out!
At Simply The Best Trail!
My friend Pedro filmed this crazy descent (with me in the front) in this wicked trail that was abandoned for more than 6 months!
It's a walking trail with 6.4km full of cool lines and tricky sections!
Please enjoy!
RideOn!

RideOn the Cherry Bomb
Wednesday morning just before the rain came I went out for a ride.
The weather was dark and misty making for a fun ride!
The new cherry feels very balanced and the suspension is really plush.
Having been on short travel bikes for 5 years now 160mm in the rear feels like a smooth silky teddy.
I love Cherry Pie on pinkbike.com
RideOn boy!

Cherry Da bomb bomb bomb!
For 2012 I have a new toy.
Replacing my Banshee Rune this year will be a very interesting bike from Da-Bomb.
Its name is the CherryBomb.
With 150mm of rear wheel travel and a slack geometry, I plan on having some great adventures on this ride.
With is capable 4bar linkage this bike should climb just as good as DH!
The test is to be considered.
A very special thank you to Yuki at Yuris bikes and Wildwind bike shop for this once in a life time opportunity to ride this bike on a Video sponsor ship.
I hope my simple rides and realistic videos can help promote the Cherry Bomb!

Thank you, Stevens! Welcome Fanes!
At the end of our ride we were greeted by a Stevens Bikes banner in front of a hotel.
A couple of days later I decided to buy number 26 out of the 50 Fanes Enduro signature series.
Those 50 frames were handcrafted by Mr Schlender himself, other than the Taiwan-made ones.
So it's thank you, Stevens Glide! Welcome Alutech Fanes!

RideOn in Autumn!
A nice adventure in the mountains!
Tagawa is filled with steep lines and great sections.
Momo did a super job navigating his Hardtail down some really tough lines.
I too did ok but had some trouble in a lot of sections.
I will continue to push my skills to a better level of Hardtail riding, hahhhahah
Bee-Man was happy to come along.
His new Jamis is looking superb but, he recently purchased some new brakes and while bleeding them
got mineral oil all over the caliper and disk's rotor.
He had a hard time all day as his brakes would not hook up for him and kept squealing like a little pig.
Momo and I gave him some good tips on home to clean and sand down his pads to help rid the system of excess oil. Hopefully this cleans the system and gives him a smoother ride.
This video is a fraction of the ride.
The DH itself is a good 30 minutes of pure descending.
I took a chest camera all the way down but decided not to portray it as it was very shaky due to the steep
rocky trail.
I might edit a chest version but we will see, hahahhhhahha
Please take care as the temperature drops.
Stay healthy and eat lots of delicious foods.
RideOn!

The Dog can get you!
Sorry brothers! This is about as close translation as I can get for the name of this trail, hahahaha!
This Sunday I had a massive, epic All Mountain adventure with 17 other crazy dudes who got up at 06:30 in the morning to meet at 08:30 to ride this foggy, muddy, windy but oh so fun trail!
We had it all! Tunels, big climbs, fast descents, water lines...you name it!
Here's some pics and a small video of one of the smallest tunels we had to cross!!!

A New Location
Funny how I discovered this location. Someone asked me if the Kammweg
video was from Luebbecke (which it is not, it is at the Hueggel), so I decided to find out what
it's like at Luebbecke. The beautiful trails I found there can be seen
in the Heidbrink video.

Happy 2011 Halloween!
In our town here in Japan, Halloween is nonexistent.
However with a little sprit every year I make the halloween atmosphere great with the help of Hiroyo for our children Sarah, Jax and all of our students!
This year Jax and I had a nice little ride in the afternoon and came home to a witch and devil waiting for us to start carving the Jack o lantern!
Happy Halloween!
RideOn!
