When I was in junior high school, I watched BMX on TV,
and I fell in love with it.
At that time it was hard to get a BMX bike,
because there were only a few shops selling BMX.
I made a big mistake and bought a MTB bike.
After riding 2 years of MTB racing
I finally bought a BMX freestyle bike.
Around the age of 17,
I decided to ride flatland seriously.

what is flatland riding to you?
how often do you ride and
what inspires and motivates you to keep riding?
Yorkにとってフラットランドは何?
ANSWER 3
Flatland is my lifestyle.
I ride almost everyday, since 18 years.
My motivation is the freedom I feel when I ride.
When I spin, there is nothing in my mind,
just the moment itself.
Only when I do shows or participate a contest
I really focus on BMX riding as work.

It’s different throughout the year.
I have been working hard
on internet marketing for the last 2 years.
I update my blog and my facebook

For myself it serves as a memo on what I have

for other people I hope it can help to read

When I work at my office,
I work from around noon until evening.
In this time I coordinate the product schedule

Especially from spring to autumn it’s a very busy time,

それと今後のフラットランドについてどうみているのか教えて。
海外でのフラットの進化のしかたと日本の進化の
し方の違いってあるかな?もしくは同じかな?
ANSWER 5
Before I started riding BMX,
flatland was dominated by pogo tricks.
When I started riding,
scuff tricks were state of the art,
nowadays turbine tricks are the new way of riding.
We are currently moving towards an even more exciting,
booming era of Flatland. Flatland in Japan is evolving,
in a good way,
with riders entering a new period of
change that aims for a more distinctive riding style.
This has the effect of narrowing
down the riders who are able to survive in this period of change.
I believe that this proves our current
ability to make an accurate judgment as to
which riders should stand out
in this new era within the bountiful Flatland scene in Japan.

With growing possibilities,

Yes, it has changed a great deal.
The earthquake disaster has made me realize

It used to be that accidents and
earthquakes only occurred on TV and films…
But now,
I am living my life accepting
that these events are part of my reality.
Bikes are driven by natural energy

Bike culture is definitely more advanced in Europe than in Japan,

Musicians who create hits can gain
plenty of fame and fortune with just one track…
But if it was me, I would feel that true progress is
the ability to continue creating masterpieces

challenge is to think of new symbolic,
original forms and riding lines,

The perception is that the current trend
has taken flatland one step further

日本のフラットのシーンって大きいのかな?
ANSWER 12
I think that the Flatland scene in Japan is larger than in other countries,
but compared to just recently,
it seems as if the flatland fever has actually gone down.
To some extent, I believe that this is because
Flatland riders around Japan are unable to
envisage what should come next.
By this I mean, for example,
what happens after winning a contest,
or after reaching a professional level.
There are very few riders in rural areas of
Japan who are able to head towards a specific direction,
staying within the flatland scene but being
outside of bike riding itself.
Everything is just concentrated in Tokyo.
Having a breakthrough or

In 1998, I started by imagining a future strategy whereby
I would be the first Asian person to win an international contest.
As a rider, when do you reach your limits?
There is no way of knowing.
And so in order to compete in equal terms with the rest of the world,
I decided that it was necessary to have a sponsor.
Compared to today,
it was much more difficult for me to find a sponsor around that time,
which naturally led me to the idea of creating my own brand.
Mr. Sera, president of FFC (funfancy.jp),
still continues to support my brand to this day.
And thus, ARESBYKES was born,
with me looking after product design and ensuring riders
have a good product range to choose from,
and Mr. Sera being in charge of financing,
product sales and marketing.

ANSWER 15
Within ARES & Co,
I am the person in charge of products

Overall management is done by Mr. Sera,
and Masashi is in charge of the overall design.
Although, of course,
there are many other people involved as well…
Other riders contact the managers as and when required.
My role within ARESBYKES is to unify everyone
in an environment where there is a tendency
for people to do their own thing.
And to this end, I can sometimes
take an approach that could be considered rather determined.
This is because I have decided that ARESBYKES,
a brand that I have created myself,
will only finish when I have finished with the sport myself.
Maybe it’s something like a samurai spirit?

most of your edits include your own music.

how much time do you invest in music?
ANSWER 18
I heard that if you exceed 10,000 playbacks
on YouTube then you get into copyright issues.
Because of this, I started creating
my own music as much as possible.
With music, the amount of time spent listening
is definitely longer than the amount of time spent creating it.
As I want to be influenced by a variety of genres,
I always try to listen to a wide range of music.
Youtubeは1万再生回数を超えると曲の
Yorkの映像ってほとんど自分で作った音楽だけど
音楽ってYorkのなかでどれだけ重要なのかな?
どれだけの時間音楽に関わっているのかな?ANSWER 18
I heard that if you exceed 10,000 playbacks
on YouTube then you get into copyright issues.
Because of this, I started creating
my own music as much as possible.
With music, the amount of time spent listening
is definitely longer than the amount of time spent creating it.
As I want to be influenced by a variety of genres,
I always try to listen to a wide range of music.
Youtubeは1万再生回数を超えると曲の
著作権に引っかかると聞きました。
なので、音楽はなるべく自分で製作する様に成りました。
音楽は、聴く時間の方が断然に製作時間より長いです。
色々なジャンルを吸収したいので、

Any recommendations for beginners?
初心者のライダーに何か?
アドバイス又は薦める事あるかな?
ANSWER 19
If you enjoy riding flatland, don’t think,
and just get on the bike. That’s the main thing.
Once you become good at it,
you will have plenty of time to think.
The main thing I would like is for
everyone to chill out and enjoy Flatland.
楽しかったら何も考えずのるのが先。

もうすぐ20年に成ります。
俺達が、このBMX FLATLANDと言う
オリジナルなハードコアなカルチャーに出会ってから...
そして、コレまでに出会って来た仲間も更に
進化を遂げて生き残って来ました。
バイト無しの1本勝負に出てPROとして
自立して生きる道を選んで...
この生き方マジで、カッコ良く無いすか?
正直、超ハードですけど(笑)
俺らは、この1度きりの人生で
本物のヒーローに成るのが夢なんです。

しかし、それより数十年前から
この道にハマって今でもアドベンチャーしてます。
その集大成は、まだまだ先ですが...
現在のFLATLANDを想像してください....
現日本は世界最新のFLATLANDの国であり
