    Rich, loamy soil. Tires at the perfect pressure, biting in and holding on like a Pit Bull. Trees like spectators holding out their arms, rooting for you (but nary a root in sight to upend you). Ideal conditions, epic ride. Those memories, man.

    Thank you for sharing these wonderful people and trails! My family lived in Aomori Prefecture (Norhern Japan) for 4 years and I fell in love with both as I pedaled my then-new Rans V-Rex, my road bike and my Schwann S-15 Carbon dual-suspension machine around the roads and trails. I returned this Spring after 11 years away and the love is as strong as ever. Please keep these videos coming! - Tom in Alaska

    The guy setting up the soundtrack for this vid and the whole "Trail hunter" & "Destination Trail" series is spot on... what MTB is all about. Nothing worse than a good vid with an overly high paced soundtrack.

    so good to see mtb videos in normal, realtime speed, rather than 90% of it being slo-mo. really gives you a sense of how much of a badass jinya is on that hardtail.

To be accepted and respected by locals, immersed in nature and place where the culture remains virtually uncompromised sharing old friends, making new ones all bound by a passion mtb biking then coupled with the love for finding and shredding amazing trails. What an experience (of a lifetime). One would find it very difficult to top. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

    I ended up here after looking into pump tracks for BMX. What a great video! I noticed a lot of people asking where this place is......I've found it for you but I can't put weblinks up, can I? So please search for "summer fujiten" (should be the top hit) then scroll down the screen and click the mountain bike hexagon pic. You'll see the English in one of the pics for "Matty's Loops". This place is in Yamanashi Prefecture, not too far east of Tokyo. edit: Sorry, WEST not east of Tokyo.... :)

    Hi, I have been riding mtb enduro bikes for the last 14 years now. I have bought bikes from different manufacturers (Trek, Santa Cruz, YT). My latest purchase is the Specialized e-mtb Turbo Comp with an aluminum frame. First, the bike's quality/price ratio is probably one of the worst, if not the worst, in the market today... a very high price for the bike's poor-quality components. Secondly, their customer support is "WORTHLESS" -it looks like people there are trained to reject claims! I say this because their answers show poor thought answers!
    Some of the problems with my bike:
    1) I had to change the original front and rear tires after a few rides... The tubeless tire sealants were licking all over.
    2) Within a year, the rear wheel hub collapsed... I had to buy a new one.
    3) The latest one is that the whole frame shows a severe corrosion problem. It is growing all over it at an incredible speed.
    MY HUMBLE ADVICE... Run away from Specialized bikes. There are many good bikes out there with better customer support services!
