Last weekend, a big bicycle fair
Cycle Mode was held in
Osaka. In this event, an interesting flatland contest took place. Some Japanese BMX shops - such as Hommage, Reality, Guell - formed teams with two of their supported riders and battled the other teams. The final battle was Spaceark team representing west Japan vs Slopshot team representing east Japan. After a great battle
Slopeshot team consisting of
Moto Sasaki and
Koichi Higo won against
Shinichi Russia Kiba and
Masashi Itani.
