Seiji Sakata diagnosed with Liver Cancer
I am sure many of you reading this, have already seen the sad news that Yohei Uchino shared yesterday. Seiji Sakata has been diagnosed with liver cancer, read on to see what Ucchie had to say, and show your support to Seji! Stay Strong!
“To all riders in the world(Please share)
Our long time friend Seiji Sakata who Wowed the world with a dynamic no-break riding style from 2002 to 2006, was recently diagnosed with liver cancer..
When he went to see a doctor for the first time, the cancer was already as big as 2/3 of his liver and told that the chance of survival was only low%..
Obviously low% chance of survival was a very devastating news to him but he is fighting his battle right now!
When you talk about a difficult situation with Seiji, he always had a way to find a breakthrough and won many contests in the past so I’m sure he can overcome this life threatening challenge against him with a support of fellow riders and friends.
I’m not talking about a miracle but I’m believing in his strength!
So what I would like to ask all of you international friends, is to send him a message to tell him that he is not alone.
Please find “Seiji Sakata” on Facebook and send your words to him so he can fight the battle with you!
This is supporters page!!

Thanks for reading this till the end!

How to Spinning Dumptruck – Can you make it! Episode 20 w/ Matthias Dandois & Benjamin Hudson
Benjamin Hudson and Matthias Dandois teach you how to spinning dump truck in episode 20 of the Can you make it series. For me this is the original peg time machine, and a spinning dump truck is subtly different, holding the fork and the bars are turned and spinning one handed in a caboose position, body weight more forward. But the tricks and techniques shown here are very similar. Enjoy this one, great to see the series back! Good work Matthias and Benjamin.
Bert Ribul – Beyond Perception
beyond perception from Dmitri Shushuyev on Vimeo.
Bert Ribul teams up with film maker, Dmitri Shushuyev to bring us this new cinematic “Beyond Perception” edit. Enjoy!
“beyond perception is the exploration of oneself. the strive towards success clouds our visions at times and we forget the simple of things like love. love towards other people, love towards the things we enjoy the most in life, but most of all love towards ourselves. we are always worried how we are going to start heading into the right direction and where we are headed. in the wise words of Jim Carrey “You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world”. never forget this.”
