  • Getting shown a secret trail is always a special experience. We were lucky to meet Nakagima-san a few days earlier when he offered to show us one of Japan's amazing halfpipe trails! We also go on a hunt for the Yam Man for some tasty Yaki Imo!

    OMG the yam truck chase was the best! We were cracking up as Yuka kept disappearing off into the distance on her mission for yam! 😆

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому +1

      Hahaha, she was SUPER KEEN. I love when she gets excited like that!

    • @hobmarg
      @hobmarg 6 років тому

      I love yam... would be an awesome mid ride snack hahah
      It also just seems like such an awesome Japanese thing, the way he has the chanting audio track blasting to let people know haha

    • @stokedriders5184
      @stokedriders5184 6 років тому

      It was just hilarious! That whole sequence from "oh wow it's a chanting monk", to "wait no it's the Yam Truck!" and the resulting frenzied chase haha. Gold.

    And here I am, waiting for shorter vids or maybe some rainy days so I will have something to watch to get stoked!

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому +1

      Some of these are quite long for sure, i just don't want to cut too much out! You good always watch and leave when you've had your fill :)

    • @Smowling
      @Smowling 6 років тому

      Indeed. Rainy days will come. Eventually. How is your season going? I have beaten times on all of my local trails at this point, even tho half of them are with fallen trees and so on... 😂

  • @powdertramps
    @powdertramps 6 років тому +1

    You need to get out to the Right Coast (New England) and come check out what we've got going on out here. I think you'll be surprised at how close the trail style is to your home trails in Vancouver area. It's alot more up and down than consistent downhill like you guys have but there's none of that boring logging/fire road riding. It's just all gnar up and down.

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому

      Sweet! I've been hearing a lot about the east coast! Sounds like a road trip!

    • @powdertramps
      @powdertramps 6 років тому

      BCpov add it to the list for once the van is complete and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Till then get the stoke coming and the rubber side down.

  • @Ibisian79

    those bobsleigh trails look awesome! without the leavs they would be even more fun! but the hunt for the yam man was cool too! so addicted! ;)

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому +1

      haha, glad you enjoyed it! Yuka and I had a ton of fun that day!

    "the Yam Man"...i'm sure that would go over big here in NA...pre-diabetic kids lining up for Yams....NOT. Awesome scenery and great riding. Yuka dusted you for Yams!

    • @BCpov

    @menjavlafitta 6 років тому +1

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому

    When I spent a winter in Canada your yam fries with chipotle mayo were awesome, we call these things: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_tuberosa yams. I was all about the meat buns in Japan. Once again those Japanese halfpipe trails look sick.

    • @BCpov
      @BCpov  6 років тому

      Ha, I love Yam fries with chopotle maya! Meat buns, like the chinese bbq pork buns?

    • @namewastaken360

    • @BCpov
