After Saturday's exertions we enjoyed a chilled out Sunday at the 4th Osaka Fixed Bike Festival yesterday....
Some serious skills on display early in the afternoon as the riders made the most of the open space at Namba River Place...
The laidback contest was sponsored by some big names including
Stussy,
Leader Bike, the
Clan BMX Store and the
8to8 guys...
Amongst all the thrills there were the inevitable spills, very cooly handled by the competitors...
A relaxing afternoon for the spectators enjoying the autumn sunshine...
It wasn't all about fakies and foot straps, there were many BMX riders out too...
The day saw the invention of a new trick, possibly the world's first sprocket stall footplant fist-bump!...
The
Namba Hatch venue filled up with spectators as the day went on...
...All coming down to see some seriously impressive riding...
As the daylight faded and the competitions drew to a close the course was opened up for a jam session where riders of all types showed off their mad skills, fixed gear freestyle, BMX,..
...And even Trials riders were out there riding hard...
A great day with some supreme riding and skill on display. We took quite a few photos while we were there and will post more here once we have gone through and deleted the many, many blurred and out of focus shots! No doubt there will be some decent videos of the action put together by
Ryo Yokota.
Bob Woods already has many, excellent pictures up for view on his
Flickr page.
We leave you with a panoramic shot of the jam session that ended the day...
