EUROTRIP PART1 from mizo on Vimeo.
Bruno Zebu and William Phatyi made the long trip out to Europe from Brazil to visit friends, Misael S Mizo & Lucas Santos in Northern Ireland, during their time in N.I they travelled the country and hit up Dino Jeffers contest in Belfast, hit play! Looking forward to Part 2 already!
Young shredder Yuya Shiga hosted his own jam, introducing himself and the riders to the spot and threw down a small contest that Bekko won! So much to love about this jam edit, ton of originality, grassroots, DIY, realism (love the crashes and touches being shown), at 13:43 long this is pretty long but held my attention so I’ll pick out some of the highlights! Much respect to Yaya Shiga holding this jam, this speaks volumes about the japanese scene to me!
*Harutada Shimoyama: Whiplash to hitchhiker x hand whip to x hand hang nothing at 3:41.
*The amazing riding of Shinichiro Hara from 4:10 including a sweet backwards facing g-turn to double backwards decade attempt around the 4:25 mark ( like I said the realism is great in this, you can see what the riders are working on).
*Tomoaki “Bekko” Yoshimura: Backwards xfted two footed pedal ice cream crossing over from one side to the other around the 5:01 mark.
* Junpai Goto: I recall raving about this guys riding before: Look out for the amazing technique on halfpacker turbines this guy has at 6:45!
*Hidenori Ishizaki, amazing bike control on two footed backwards wheelie at 8:24, and the backwards facing two footed backyard pull out opposite rope-a-roni to Degroot ride out at 9:00 is incredible!

So much to love about the japanese flatland scene, check out this Decade Okayama 4th Anniversary Bmx Contest edit by Keisuke Tanigawa. Featuring great riding from the likes of Uehara Hiroshi, Russia, and Keisuke kills it and looks like he took the win also. Grassroots flatland styles!
The annual Woodward West Old School Reunion went down this past weekend, James met up with long time friend Todd Carter and had this to say about the edit:
“I first met Todd Carter in 1986 at an AFA contest in Ohio. I can honestly say he is my longest running Bmx friend and one hell of a nice guy. Here we are at Woodward West for the Old School Reunion 2015. 30 years later we both ride in the Pro Class and still love to ride our bikes. As Todd said to me this past weekend “we have come a long for two kids from Detroit and Ohio” The music is what I listened too in contest runs from 1986-1988 no doubt taking us back to the 80’s when our journey started.”
Bobby Carter is always on top of things no matter what he does! The Aloha jam is going down this year on the weekend of August 22-23, 2015. Check out this awesome book Bobby put together from the 2014 jam, and soak up some Hawaii vibes. This looks so good!
