Ayato Kimura's "Tropical Vibes" video- MTB urban freeride from southern Japan


The thing about me being out of the industry loop, of the BMX and MTB worlds, is that sometimes my blogging digs up other people who are largely out of the loop.  Do you know who Ayato Kimura is?  No?  I ran across a handful of his videos last year.  He's a mountain bike trials and freerider from Japan.  He's about 18-years-old now.  He rides for Specialized Japan, I believe.  He's really talented, hungry, and willing to huck himself.  He's really amazing, both doing technical, trials type riding in his earlier videos, and balls out, hauling ass freeriding, like in this video. This is his latest video, and it just came out today (2/29/2024).  Check it out!  And keep an eye out for this kid in the future...

This YouTube video had 11,000 views when I wrote this blog post, February 29, 2024.
