Haruki Yonamine – Sponsor Me
It’s always cool checking out a video from a younger rider we haven’t heard about. Haruki Yonamine is a 15 year old from over in Japan that put together this “sponsor me” video giving us a look at what he’s all about. If we didn’t already know this video was filmed this year in Japan, we would almost have to assume this was a early 2000’s video from the streets of New York City. This has that same mid-school NY street vibe that we’re sure a bunch of riders will be into. Grinds, jibs and more. Take a look!
“Hauruki Yonamine
He is 15 yeasrs old BMX rider.
and He edited this video by himsel for get sponsor.
Please check it.

Transforming a School Into A BMX Park – Moto Bunka
The Moto Bunka crew coming through with an interesting video showing how Yuta Tominagas has been working on turning an old school into a shop and BMX park for the riders to enjoy! This starts out as a podcast, but then switches over to a video tour. It’s all in Japanese, but the sub-titles are in English so it’s easy to follow along with. This looks awesome and we’re stoked on this! It looks like this should be awesome for the scene over there as well.
This also reminded us of Taj Mihelich‘s old Odyssey “Electronical” video part where he took an old abandoned school and built ramps to create a ton of unique setups to ride! We’ve re-embedded that below to enjoy again as well!
