TAKA HIGASHINO | A Will Rock Solid
Спорт
Taka's had a decorated career, but it didn’t take long for him to claim his place among the FMX elite.
Paving his own way, Taka became a motocross pro at age 20 and arrived in the US in 2007 with a few bucks in his pocket and a dream of making it in professional FMX. Without speaking the language or having any contacts in the scene…
Higashino managed to locate the SoCal training facility of pro rider Mike Metzger on Google Maps and showed up at the door, asking: “Can I ride?” With his strong will and boundless motivation, Higashino impressed Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg, who soon became his mentor.
Taka went on to claim surprise X Games motocross freestyle gold in 2012, followed by two more consecutive X Games gold medals and countless accolades in a storied career.
“A Will Rock Solid” documents how the impossible dream became reality for the 36-year-old motocross innovator from Osaka, Japan.

When he first went to America, he had such little money he was living off bread and water, but spoiled himself once a week with McDonalds. Who else has that dedication!

Legend! ❤️
Taka is the man! Still out there crushing it with young guys
I remember back when Taka was the best and unbeatable until Levi Sherwood gave him a great rivalry and then somewhere out of the blue Josh Sheehan came along and basically the sport evolved and everyone surpassed Taka but taka still kills it in competitions even if he doesn't win these days he's always throwing super clean and gnarly tricks always great to watch

お父さんが2年位前にプラザ阪下によく来てて、息子のTAKAから全部そろえてもらったんだよって言ってて感動したよ 応援してます！
Taka is a fucking LEGEND . Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant to modern motocross history and heritage. The guy is an innovator
Taka is one badass dude 🤘🔥💯
Legend! So much respect for these guys that come here from Japan ect... No connections or friends here but, still succeeds. Shout out to Mike and Twitch for taking him under their wing too.🤟
Taka, such an inspiration! Thanks for this video, I cant stand why people hit the dislike button? like what is wrong with your life lol
I’m not one to generally comment on videos but this was an awesome cover story on Taka and his journey with freestyle motocross! Inspirational guy hands down.
Very nice story
That’s awesome!
Absolute Legend

Taka you are sick......one of the sickest
Very good congratulations
What a champion!!!!
I remember sitting in takas loungeroom playing his ps4 and he came home so we went out and he taught me rock solid flips
I think it's safe to say Taka is the goat of fmx. No one's done it at the highest level as long or have done as many tricks as him
同じ日本人として誇りに思います。
what a story...🥰
Finally they did a Harry bink one a taka one now one for twitch
Love Taka ❤️
no matter what happen, taka smile is never change
Legend
Sugoi... Takaaaa.!!!!
The fact that he would watch his own shadow for feedback on his riding due to not having a filmer is incredible 🤘🏻
Great piece. Who would have expected a love story? What a beautiful and supportive wife! Add to that a little bro love thrown in there from Metz and Twitch for free.
BLAKE LOVE TAKA!
He gave me a signed pair of goggles!!!
I wanna film for monster so bad
SO RAD! 🤘🏻🔥💚🐺
Twitch is such a good friend to Taka.
