this is a perfect video.
Rich, loamy soil. Tires at the perfect pressure, biting in and holding on like a Pit Bull. Trees like spectators holding out their arms, rooting for you (but nary a root in sight to upend you). Ideal conditions, epic ride. Those memories, man.

7 years later, and this video never gets old. In fact, this very video got me mountain biking. I now own a Rockhopper 2019 that I bring out for when I'm in the mood for XC.

I'm just like you. But I finally came to Fujimi.
i keep watching this everytime i go online.. can't move on without seeing this video
Still one of my all time favourite videos.
Those trails are amazing. Such smooth flow and great aesthetics. Japan rocks
Thank you for sharing these wonderful people and trails! My family lived in Aomori Prefecture (Norhern Japan) for 4 years and I fell in love with both as I pedaled my then-new Rans V-Rex, my road bike and my Schwann S-15 Carbon dual-suspension machine around the roads and trails. I returned this Spring after 11 years away and the love is as strong as ever. Please keep these videos coming! - Tom in Alaska
The guy setting up the soundtrack for this vid and the whole "Trail hunter" & "Destination Trail" series is spot on... what MTB is all about. Nothing worse than a good vid with an overly high paced soundtrack.

You sure about that? Watch Saturn III Fu Manchu footage to mountain biking. Nothing wrong with louder or faster music
Still watching in 2022!! Used to work at a bike shop and we’d play these videos on our TVs. Rad!!
so good to see mtb videos in normal, realtime speed, rather than 90% of it being slo-mo. really gives you a sense of how much of a badass jinya is on that hardtail.
4 years later, I'm rocking that exact Stumpjumper Evo. :)
That drop at 2:08...holy wow...they make it look effortless!

Those trails looks like UCSC trails with a lil bit of flow trails thrown in. Isaac you gotta try Sweetness, Magic Carpet and Airborne
That's an epic trail. What is the actual length of it. The people of japan are, so great, so polite, so welcoming, there is no words can describe this...
Fantastic video. There's really nothing better in this world than bringing your bike to a new trail and get surprised by how good it is to ride.
That looked like a Sick ride !! F- en , awesome!!! Wish I was there ...
can u see how jinya and his hardtalis can keep up with matt? sick!

Man...where do I begin? To be accepted and respected by locals, immersed in nature and place where the culture remains virtually uncompromised sharing old friends, making new ones all bound by a passion mtb biking then coupled with the love for finding and shredding amazing trails. What an experience (of a lifetime). One would find it very difficult to top. Great video! Thank you for sharing.
lots of fun and beauty trail
I got into cycling through mountain biking, I then switched to road bikes and never looked back. However, I'm now going to give the mountain bike a service as soon as I hit "POST". Inspirational video!

2 my fav rider: matt & jinya...!!! shred those trails!!!
As soon I as I heard the music of Heartless Bastards I knew I was going to like this video. I can't even imagine riding my hardtail down these trails.
wow! ... freaking awesome ...
This is seriously awesome
El tramo a partir del min. 3:40 es impresionante!!! FLOW en estado puro.
Total mente hermozo!!!! La esensia pura de la vida libre woooooi!!!
Amazing!
Added to my bucket list
Sickness really enjoyed the music
Sweet trails !
That actually looks like a very fun trail!!
Awesome vid and place.
The Dream Trail! Damn, Arigato Japan, I'll be there someday!
beautiful
Beautiful place, nice trail!!! I thought the beginning was speed up haha
Parabéns mandam muito bem! Brasil - Crato - Ceará
incredibly good video!!
Awesome video, although there is no prefecture called Minami. Since they're close to Mt. Fuji, I'm going to guess they are in the southern Alps, Minami Alps in Yamanashi prefecture.
That's just all it's about! Biking I love it!! And now i go for a ride!!! :)
I like the vibe
Awesome trail
666th like from me :) one of the best mtb videos i ever seen. music so perfect. love
amazing videos dude !!!you re amazing!!!
Man this is my type of trail no steep drop offs no loose rocks just pure speed and berms and dirt. Nice shred!
I wish I had the ability/finance's to be able to see the world and ride Bikes all of the Time, that would be the dream for me.. but at the Time I'm struggling just to make it by and trying to get/afford a New Bike is quite difficult at the Time. stay in school Kids.... lol idk.
That kid can shred!! Keeping up with Matt on a hard tail
amazing trail
The long bends, the curves, wow.
Todos queremos ser como Matt Hunter...
Man that is so awesome! I wonder what time of the year that was?
Esto es hermoso...
Nice vídeo!
I ended up here after looking into pump tracks for BMX. What a great video! I noticed a lot of people asking where this place is......I've found it for you but I can't put weblinks up, can I? So please search for "summer fujiten" (should be the top hit) then scroll down the screen and click the mountain bike hexagon pic. You'll see the English in one of the pics for "Matty's Loops". This place is in Yamanashi Prefecture, not too far east of Tokyo. edit: Sorry, WEST not east of Tokyo.... :)
the bright yellow bike is a hard tail. RAD!

Johnny Felcher hard-tail doesn't have rear suspension. it takes a lot more physical strength to ride.

Pffffffff, insanely beautiful!!! Domo arigatou 🇯🇵

Hi, can you tell me where this trail is? Or suggest a guide who can bring us to this trail?

There's something about riding natural trails that beats any bike park hands down...

I'm a road guy,but damn this looks awesome! Video beautifully done
how many times you will re upload this video ???
so do these guys scream down these trails sight unseen or do they do any practice runs to get to know the terrain? I couldn't imagine going down that fast without eating a tree or something.
