proof japan is teh sh*t.

YU　Early summer　Edit. from YU　KU$UMOTOh! on Vimeo.

there's a big difference between japan's riding and americas riding. no offense, but america rides BIG- jumping off sh*t, throwing down tricks that shouldnt necessarily be done on a track bike. from what i've observed from the japanese riders, there's a certain smooth and refined quality to their tricks. even though they do stuff that's already been done alot, those riders make it look painfully easy- and i respect that to the fullest.

yu throws down hammers:

0:22 bench stall, 0:35 big fakie to fakie 360, 1:22 footjam tailwhip (first ive seen since council of doom), 1:40 fakie to fakie 360 (more like a pivot to 180 air, but dope nonetheless), 1:56 pivot barspin, couple small grinds at the 2 min mark, airs @2:21, 2:46 180 big air to slider, 2:52 I DK WTF WAS THAT?!?! to fakie slider, 3:24 nose manny to manny... and a sh*t load of 180 airs to sliders.

i should become a comenntator for this sh*t.

crazy sh*t coming from japan and YU　KU$UMOTOh!
