There’s some real unorthodox nonsense going on here. No pads. No full-face helmet. I’m not even sure it’s a freeride video. Sure, there’s a section of jumps, skids, and woodsy tricks, but then there are urban trials hijinks, too. Death-defying drops and jumps on all surfaces, many of them very high.
The thing is Ayato Kimura is young, and I don’t think anyone has told him he’s not supposed to do these things this way. I’m usually skeptical when someone says they’re getting wild. Humans love hyperbole. But I was wrong in my assumption. Kimura gets wild. Real wild.
This kid is raw but he rides with a forward tilt and hard charging style. I dig it.
At least he parks his bike chain-side-up!
