Kio Hayakawa has been blowing up on instagram over the last year, and for good reason. Unique styles for days and the degree of difficulty of what he is doing is off the chart.
Kio dropped this edit a few days ago, and I was in full One Love jam mode and not able to spend enough time watching the edit and taking in what he is doing.
This morning I got the chance to take it what he is doing and this guy is next level and a name to keep an eye for sure and deservedly got nominated for Breakthrough Rider of the Year.
The opening line at 00:17 with the quick blender jump to two footed upside down ice cream without touching the tyre is insane. Whilst I am not a fan of the switching shots mid link, the backwards facing pedalling time machine rideout is incredible! Hit rewind, watch this!
At 1:27 the xft time machine pivot to pedalling ice cream is so delicate of a switch and Kia makes this look easy, style for days. And much like the first line the ending going back to xft time machine pivot to backwards facing straddling time machine walkover decade to pedal is absolutely off the chart!
Learn the name, this shredder has a massive future.
daymmmm
So much flow!
@Scott – and has his own distinctive style to boot.
You know what his style is? Watch me make these extremely difficult lines look extremely easy. What a jerk
hahahaha to true Aaron, The guy is a beast!
loved it
He’s the one who’s going to take Simon’s backwheel stuff to the next level. Great stuff! I’ve been watching him over the past year.
fresh approach,hard tricks,love it!
Beast
Love the pedal tricks of the new generation! This kid is killing it! I cant wait to see what in next!
Not wrong about the skill level here,this biker’s going places. When I see links that are hard like these, my feeling’s the rider’s got what it takes to really go a few notches, maybe more. And that’ll be exciting to see.
