Must Watch season continues with this absolute belter from Japanese flatland lifer, Akihiko Takahashi who celebrates 25 years of riding.
If you don’t already this guy is one of the best in the backwards game, there are some mindmelters packed into 5:59, which is definitely a contender for the hardest stuff done this year.
Poetry in motion ! Hears to another 25years of trickery
Wish more people could understand wtf it is were watching here. Akihikos most popular youtube video only has 5k views…. sad, still have his videos ON REPEAT. Thanks for the inspitation !!!
Totally agree jet! What matters is the people who know, respect to Aki going down this path for 25 years. It’s really amazing!!
Akihiko ………ONLY he can ride like this . With a degree of difficulty within his entire riding style that as mental as a Logan Martin or Kosta Andreev BMX park U.C.I. finals run. This dude’s lines are as original and crazy hard as it gets . I mean ….damn , just cruising a backwards crack packer ……BY ITSELF is stupid hard……..and that’s a ” transfer ” trick for him , haha…in a contest online or in person. This kind of riding hold some SERIOUS weight and will PODIUM place. ( if the judging is correct/ up to par. ) I’m going to have to watch this edit for months to really analyze it . ( the same way I watched his From The Sky Up video part ! ) I swear December is MUST WATCH month or something . I’m STOKED on all of it . Keep em coming !
Incredible! Backwards master! So many original and super difficult tricks!
Wow E this is some kind of crazy battle of the gangsters going on here!
It certainly is, it’s also mind blowing that two of the best backwards riders dropped full parts within a few days of each other without each other knowing. Flat earth aligned!!
What a year PP!
Backwards flow poetry!Incredible!
