All the good news from Yumi Tsukuda has come to an abrupt halt…
Over the past few weeks we’ve been seeing a lot of good news for Yumi Tsukuda from getting added to the Fit Bike Co. Pro Team and the Hourglass Theory crew, and just in general a lot of hype lately. It sounds like this has left a bit of a conflict with his original crew, Horiegumi, since they’ve now disbanded. They announced the news with one last video featuring Yumi cruising since the start of the crew on up through recent clips. Take a look at the video below, and then get the scoop on what lead to the decision to end the Horiegumi crew…
“About 5 years ago, I met Yumi at Horie beach in Ehime-Prefecture, Japan.
From that day we rode and shred time all day.
The secound year, Yumi said he wants to make a crew and thats the beginning of HORIEGUMI.
When I saw his riding I had a big impact on me and got images and ideas for filming.
So I bought a used TRV900 immediately and started filming at the beach side and the city of Ehime.
And I had been making a lot of HORIVIDEOS.
Now I moved to Tokyo with Yumi, and I made lots of videos as a video production for
Alive, Fit, Merritt and Monster with Yumi, Pegy and OSO.
Unfortunately Yumi has decided to leave HORIEGUMI.
Because he wants to forcous riding as a professional rider and to do what best for himself.
So we have decided to break up.
I will going to start a new video project with Pegy and with our friend in all over the world.
