Riding at Shinjuku

WTP warriors frame is now available on Dan's.
I really want to get one.

The frame with high-tech and 13.22CS length must be tough and quick as Tim of warriors.

Just some riding vid of a friend and myself.

Wanna ride more smooth and with good rhysm

It's something incredible and cool, but I want to say something about it.
I will write it when I have time.

Here's just update of my bike check
Really light weight and enough robust.

All the photos were taken by my friends aka Photon. Thanks

I tested my hand made "Cam cadie".
We found some bad points on it; Because of small distance between Grip of the cadie and camera, sometimes I pushed some bottons even I didn't intend to do.
But the cadie is globally OK and much better than without it.

Another point is too less sensitivity of camera sensor, so it is hard to film it at night and cam lights may be needed.

The following is just our first trial of filming, it is terrible though.
We'll get better next time!

I am thinking of taking riding movies just for enjoying myself.
But my small movie cam is difficult to be held with one hand.


Then I found "Cam caddie" on Internet.
But the price is $100 even though the most of parts are made by plastic!


So I made a my Cam caddie by myself with 2 pieces of parts sold in a camera shop. It cost about $30.



I will try it tomorrow !!!

I had been waiting hub guard for Primo N4.
Finally, Primo made it!

Primo will release a brand new hub but hub guard.

Just 2 candidates for my new frame...

I really liked this video.
Not exaggerated at all and very clear & smooth filming.
Pan view showed me what the section was and how the move was great.

Rainy season has been started in Japan.
For the season, I like to burn incense because something is.....

Anyways, the belows are my fave. Try it!

Here's photos of riding of my friends, I took them on last Saturday.
It was really nice day to ride and all we each made progress.


K-san aka President made 180 for the first time!!

Soy started to fight with wall 180 on vertical wall



Mathew got much better style of invert.

Invert / Mathew

I tried reverse 180, Feeble to smith at a curb, Double peg on a rail, front peg tap on a pole during 180.

Also, I was really enjoyed to take pictures. I usually use a 50mm lens(EF 50mm f/1.8 II) for BMX and it describes kind of raw feeling photos because nothing is deformed as above photos. So I really like it and want to catch cool moment with my boy.

You will see info of premiere on 24-Sep at the end of vid.
So, it will hit us soon !!! (Autumn?)

A new edit of Shoji Tanaka was exposed at simple
I was really exited because very few Japanese riders ride in foreign countries and he is riding with good speed!

I love the series of Road fools cause films are really raw and all the riders enjoy not only riding but also whole trip.

You will feel good vibes from the video.

I visited "Raimon" in Asakusa tonight.

Raimon

Thunder God

Wind god

The "Raimon" is guarded by two gods, Wind and Thunder gods.
They were created in Edo Period.

Honestly, why I visited there is just I overslept on the train to home...

I didn't wanna turn back directly to home and I got idea to go to see the tough guys.

The photos were taken by camera of my cell phone, but not bad

Good how to by Davery Watson and Romeo



- Slick ledge
- Midle speed
- Pop-out
- Spin harder than normal 180
to get the tire away from ledge


I will try it this weekend. Thanks Romeo !!

Great job!!!
I'm wondering send an order when I get the image of ideal geometry in the future.

What's the common point of them?

Butcher

Ryan Metro

Danny Hickerson

They are all pro riders? Acctually.

They are my fave? Definitly.

They do switch the their stance/feet during riding !!!

Hahaha, you must be Butcher, Ryan, Danny or Crazy about BMX if you recognized it

!!!

The vid will answer to your question about Philips Carousel.



I thought that the vid was made with many CG technologies, but actually not.
Still I wonder how to move a camera like that and how to fix many staffs (Glass flaks, actors...)

Now I'm using 3 Pegs on my bmx, but I will reduce to 2 x Pegs or increse to 4 x Pegs in future.

at TPR


at Shinjuku

Just for your info cause many of us are always looking for hub guards that fits to our hubs.
One of my friend introduced a new shadow hub guard on the proper.
They are perfect lookin' and function, I think.


The shape of new shadow's new Rant hub guard was changed to like shadow's Raptor hub guard.

• Looks more clean (No slit on the guard)
• Little bit larger diameter

Raptor hub guard



Old rant hub guard


But this guard is not perfect for Primo N4.
Because of thicker hub guard than original primo's lock nut, the center of the tire shifts bit from the center of the front fork.
