In The Cut – Uncovered BMX Tokyo

April 23, 2019

The Uncovered BMX contest series rolled through Tokyo, Japan the other weekend and, as expected, the contest went off with a bunch of Japan’s locals turning out to throw down. Here’s a raw cut DIG put together from the contest filled with riding and a bunch of non-riding footage that’ll get you laughing. This looks like it was a super good time, so hit play and take it all in!

“For 2019, Van Homan and Brian Kachinsky brought their Uncovered Am contest across the Pacific to Murasaki Park in Tokyo, Japan. With Japanese local burger-slinger and park owner Bashi handling the mic, the stoke was high, and riders of all ages were killing it. When it was all over, Shota Higa took home first place mini jersey barrier trophy, and the coveted invite to Battle Of Hastings; congrats. Thanks to Source BMX, BSD, GT, FIT, and Odyssey for the support to help make this awesome day a reality.” – DIG

“The day of the Uncovered semi pro BMX competition here at the Wheel Mill Skatepark! So many amazing riders are here to compete against each other and push the limits of BMX bike riding as far as possible! There were so many riders doing some amazing tricks but one rider named Mad Mike stood out in particular to me, He goes by the name of Mad Mike and he is one of the most hardcore powerful BMX riders I have ever seen before! He did the craziest gap to grinds that has ever been done in BMX!” – Scotty Cranmer
