“Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that for personal reasons I have decided to leave Pegasus.
I am really hoping someone else out there who deserves it can get the stuff they need to keep them going. Someone who can still ride hard and unfortunately that’s not me anymore thanks to bad drivers here.
And to me, being sponsored again was always something that I felt had maybe misrepresented the situation because people always seemed to think I was still riding. Sadly I am not.
Anyways I wish Jeff and the entire Pegasus team best wishes for future and many happy pivoting days ahead.
Thanks for the honorary sponsorship.
It was really nice to be a part of something again.

Must Watch! Yuki Itoh – Welcome to the Team / FEC

Yuki Itoh – Welcome to the Team – FEC from IGI BMX on Vimeo.

Everything about this new Yuki Itoh – Welcome to the Far east Cycles team edit is on point. Yuki is one of the most underrated riders on the japanese scene in my opinion so it’s great to see FEC showed him some love.

Riding wise, the riding and the intricate switches are pretty much all groundbreaking. Here are some of my personal highlights:

– The opposite turbine steam boat ride in flip flip to yammer style backwards spinning xft steam step on fork back to steam turbine to xft fork spinning steam to opposite xft steam flip steam opposite side step into spinning cliff at 1:06! Are you following all that? Yuki’s style is so nimble around the bike, amazing!

– At 2:11 the turbine teakettle to spinning xft crack pivot spinning hang ten pivot opposite one footed spinning crack step over backwards facing one footed spinning ck jump to halfpacker pivot xft backwards spinning xft stream pivot steam to x handed spinning half hiker! Mind blown!

– The last line at 3:03! I will leave that one to you!

Props to Takuya Higa also for the camerawork, this edit makes me want to ride so bad! Job done! Respect Yuki, liquid flatland at it’s finest!!
