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!!! :)
