I first met Shintaro Misawa at Flipbykes 'Flatmaster 2k9' in Philippines, December 2009 and this is his 2nd visit to Malaysia in 2010! He is a very humble person and easy to get along with. The riding session was definitely a bliss. I had so much fun last night!I met Youki Maehata and other Japanese Pro Riders like Akira Okamura, York Uno, Morizaki Hiroya, Kotaro Tanaka, Takashi Ito and Ryoji Yammamoto way back in 2002 at ESPN Asian X Games, KLCC. It was the first time I witness a real Pro Rider in front of my very own eyes and that was an awesome experience. I learned a lot from them!
Youki Maehata aka Speedy Monkey has always been a good friend. After 5 long years, now he is back in the M'sia Flatland scene! Super fast turbine switches*
So many good memories and funny stories to tell. Let's battle again some other time! I really hope to see you guys again soon!!! :)
