7 years later, and this video never gets old. In fact, this very video got me mountain biking. I now own a Rockhopper 2019 that I bring out for when I'm in the mood for XC.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful people and trails! My family lived in Aomori Prefecture (Norhern Japan) for 4 years and I fell in love with both as I pedaled my then-new Rans V-Rex, my road bike and my Schwann S-15 Carbon dual-suspension machine around the roads and trails. I returned this Spring after 11 years away and the love is as strong as ever. Please keep these videos coming! - Tom in Alaska
Rich, loamy soil. Tires at the perfect pressure, biting in and holding on like a Pit Bull. Trees like spectators holding out their arms, rooting for you (but nary a root in sight to upend you). Ideal conditions, epic ride. Those memories, man.
so good to see mtb videos in normal, realtime speed, rather than 90% of it being slo-mo. really gives you a sense of how much of a badass jinya is on that hardtail.
The guy setting up the soundtrack for this vid and the whole "Trail hunter" & "Destination Trail" series is spot on... what MTB is all about. Nothing worse than a good vid with an overly high paced soundtrack.
That's an epic trail. What is the actual length of it. The people of japan are, so great, so polite, so welcoming, there is no words can describe this...
I got into cycling through mountain biking, I then switched to road bikes and never looked back. However, I'm now going to give the mountain bike a service as soon as I hit "POST". Inspirational video!
Man...where do I begin? To be accepted and respected by locals, immersed in nature and place where the culture remains virtually uncompromised sharing old friends, making new ones all bound by a passion mtb biking then coupled with the love for finding and shredding amazing trails. What an experience (of a lifetime). One would find it very difficult to top. Great video! Thank you for sharing.
a lot has to do with the editing they ride fast no doubt but they have so much more rescources then the average Joe it's thiere job to Make it look cool and they do a damn good job at it
chromag stylus I think , I use to have an hardtail too but I switched to a full suspension bike, because I leave in a very rocky area, but I ' d realy like to retake an hardtail,
Awesome video, although there is no prefecture called Minami. Since they're close to Mt. Fuji, I'm going to guess they are in the southern Alps, Minami Alps in Yamanashi prefecture.
I ended up here after looking into pump tracks for BMX. What a great video! I noticed a lot of people asking where this place is......I've found it for you but I can't put weblinks up, can I? So please search for "summer fujiten" (should be the top hit) then scroll down the screen and click the mountain bike hexagon pic. You'll see the English in one of the pics for "Matty's Loops". This place is in Yamanashi Prefecture, not too far east of Tokyo. edit: Sorry, WEST not east of Tokyo.... :)
I wish I had the ability/finance's to be able to see the world and ride Bikes all of the Time, that would be the dream for me.. but at the Time I'm struggling just to make it by and trying to get/afford a New Bike is quite difficult at the Time. stay in school Kids.... lol idk.
so do these guys scream down these trails sight unseen or do they do any practice runs to get to know the terrain? I couldn't imagine going down that fast without eating a tree or something.

I was just going to ask who still rewatches old Matt Hunter videos. I always liked this one and still love this song too.
So true. I’ve watched this video like everyday and dreamed to travel with a mtb.
I'm just like you.
But I finally came to Fujimi.
Still one of my all time favourite videos.
Those trails are amazing. Such smooth flow and great aesthetics. Japan rocks

29 people
+Str00p w4f3l probs those on 29ers
+Kang Jiyoung im pretty sure matt is on a 29er in this video
+Jordan Scott haha its just a joke cause the number of dislikes was 29 so i just came up with it
this is a perfect video.
i keep watching this everytime i go online.. can't move on without seeing this video

nice writing
These are soul rides...
Right now, 74 losers
Still watching in 2022!! Used to work at a bike shop and we’d play these videos on our TVs. Rad!!
That drop at 2:08...holy wow...they make it look effortless!
Those trails looks like UCSC trails with a lil bit of flow trails thrown in. Isaac you gotta try Sweetness, Magic Carpet and Airborne

Fantastic video. There's really nothing better in this world than bringing your bike to a new trail and get surprised by how good it is to ride.
4 years later, I'm rocking that exact Stumpjumper Evo. :)

You sure about that? Watch Saturn III Fu Manchu footage to mountain biking. Nothing wrong with louder or faster music
2024 y aún me motivo con este video
That's an epic trail. What is the actual length of it. The people of japan are, so great, so polite, so welcoming, there is no words can describe this...
Japan has lots of awesome riding places
Great video!!!!!!!!!! What an experience.. beautiful Japan!!
Japan and trail riding. Awesome.
Wow, looks like a mind-blowing trail I would love to ride!
That looked like a Sick ride !! F- en , awesome!!! Wish I was there ...

You turned to the dark side, there is no way back.

Had my evo over 6 years and still smile every time I hop on.
Quite possibly the best one ive seen. Watched twice
Exploring all the amazing things this world has to offer on a mt bike is in my opinion the ultimate dream! Gawd damn im so jelly!!
As soon I as I heard the music of Heartless Bastards I knew I was going to like this video. I can't even imagine riding my hardtail down these trails.
can u see how jinya and his hardtalis can keep up with matt? sick!
+Kemal Mahisa dude was thinking the same thing, straight samurai!
Cinematography is so top notch
Added to my bucket list
lots of fun and beauty trail
Beautifully filmed! Ahhhh love it
i wish i could ride like that. it feels like i can, then i look at the videos my friends take and i just delete them.
All about the feeling!

sultanabran1 Keep riding for the Enjoyment, the rest may Fallow.. :)
a lot has to do with the editing they ride fast no doubt but they have so much more rescources then the average Joe it's thiere job to Make it look cool and they do a damn good job at it
+sultanabran1 so much yes.
How about that dude freaking ripping on the hard tail. \m/
chromag stylus I think , I use to have an hardtail too but I switched to a full suspension bike, because I leave in a very rocky area, but I ' d realy like to retake an hardtail,
@@slivzzz No need for a rear shock on these trails.
2 my fav rider: matt & jinya...!!! shred those trails!!!
This is seriously awesome
Awesome video, although there is no prefecture called Minami. Since they're close to Mt. Fuji, I'm going to guess they are in the southern Alps, Minami Alps in Yamanashi prefecture.
The Dream Trail! Damn, Arigato Japan, I'll be there someday!
Sickness really enjoyed the music
El tramo a partir del min. 3:40 es impresionante!!! FLOW en estado puro.
wow! ... freaking awesome ...
Total mente hermozo!!!! La esensia pura de la vida libre woooooi!!!
That actually looks like a very fun trail!!
Great video, great trails!
Man this is my type of trail no steep drop offs no loose rocks just pure speed and berms and dirt. Nice shred!
Sweet trails !
That kid can shred!! Keeping up with Matt on a hard tail
That's just all it's about! Biking I love it!! And now i go for a ride!!! :)

Amazing!
Man that is so awesome! I wonder what time of the year that was?
Awesome guys, wishes from dubai
incredibly good video!!
the bright yellow bike is a hard tail. RAD!
I don't know much about bikes. I do enjoy this video, though, can you tell me what a hardtail is and why it's different to the other bike?
Johnny Felcher hard-tail doesn't have rear suspension. it takes a lot more physical strength to ride.
いつか行ってみたい場所ですねぇ
Pffffffff, insanely beautiful!!! Domo arigatou 🇯🇵
I'm moving to Japan right now.
+Caklo Scratch im going with you wait for me
+Alex Giacoman Count me in guys!
im on my way!
the trails are hot and the girls are hotter
The long bends, the curves, wow.
Hi, can you tell me where this trail is? Or suggest a guide who can bring us to this trail?
The video quality is excellent ! What type of camera you use ?
Awesome trail
Esto es hermoso...
I wish I had the ability/finance's to be able to see the world and ride Bikes all of the Time, that would be the dream for me.. but at the Time I'm struggling just to make it by and trying to get/afford a New Bike is quite difficult at the Time. stay in school Kids.... lol idk.
Where are these trails? Did you guys find a guide to help you get around? I'm here in Japan and Mt. Fuji is fun but those look sick!
Alexander Chambers look up Fujiten ski and MTB trails
Nice vídeo!
that hardtail though. :)
I think its Jinya. suer ossom HT rider
yeahh. its jinya.
seriously wow...
1:54 he is a real police officer (sergeant). he carries a tiny pistol, but will never use it in his entire career.
Hey, Specialized Bicycles, how can I find the last trail in this video? Might be heading to Japan soon.
I'm a road guy,but damn this looks awesome! Video beautifully done
Nice man
Where is this at? The ski life look like Fujiten's lift... Is this the trails on MT. Fuji?
Show!
I feel bad for whoever set up the cable cams for those forest shots. But sick video!
epic 😍
That's the real dream, Being a World Rider. ♥
Parabéns mandam muito bem!
Brasil - Crato - Ceará
カッコいい〜🐣
There's something about riding natural trails that beats any bike park hands down...

I cried cause the feels
Nice vid, link to the bikes would be useful?
Does anyone have suggestions on places to mountain bike in Japan, specifically in Hokkaido?
what is the name of the bright yellow hardtail?
Chromag Stylus. :)
how many times you will re upload this video ???
so do these guys scream down these trails sight unseen or do they do any practice runs to get to know the terrain? I couldn't imagine going down that fast without eating a tree or something.
いいねーー！！！
Quiero ir a Japón a volar rueda!
