We're living in strange times. Just going out to ride isn't a normality. Although rules differ in most countries it is fair to say that having your own park is the only way of doing regular sessions without distractions. Getting a Park built is expensive and can become a headache, but if you have one now, you know it was all worth it. After checking in with Ryan Nyquist (USA) and Kenneth Tencio (CRC), we now move over to the other side of the planet where Rim Nakamura has his own park set up in Kyoto, Japan.
Name Park: Wing Park
Luka is a young mastermind and Teslian working on quantum physics and fluid dynamics. From 9 to 5 for the money, and rest of the day for the civilization. When he's not inventing rocket science shit, he's jumping on all kinds of walls and filming himself doing tricks on the way to the work. Enjoy!
Name of Park: 10cio park
Operator: Junior Araya
Location: Jaco, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
What made you decide to build your own park?
Kenneth Tencio: I will say it is not just one thing that made me take the decision, but in Costa Rica also in all Central America is the only wood park, and also covered and with real transitions, I just to travel for ride park and most of the time at home just to ride street, dirt or some concrete little parks around, so it really was something we need a long time ago, not only me but the whole Bmx scene here.
JibJedi Stephen Boysen is back on DIG for another one with LIFER$ and Alex Romero behind the camera.
Jacob Cable is technically savvy, smooth, calm and collected. Throughout the course of filming this section we began to refer to Jacob's clips as "endurance riding", because that's essentially what it is..
Charlie "found" some "free" pallets and put them to work in his backyard, happy 4/20!
I knew that when my son was born, big life changes were sure to come. I didn’t think I’d end up sitting on two years of footage, only to get around to editing it because I was in the midst of a global pandemic.
