00:00 pretty wild big jumping bike flips.
00:02 So keep our eye peeled,
00:04 and most likely the entire crowd go nuts.
00:07 - Starting with speed for Yu Shouji.
00:13 On the front wheel.
00:17 - He's another rider though that can focus
00:24 on both parts of the bike.
00:25 And we saw that big hop there
00:27 from the front to the rear wheel.
00:29 And that again is very heavily rewarded
00:32 because you've got to basically transfer
00:34 different parts of the bike.
00:36 And it's also changing the angle
00:38 in which it touches the ground.
00:39 So it's hard to work through that precision.
00:43 So Yu Shouji right now starting his next link
00:45 on that front wheel.
00:48 - Pushing to gain speed.
00:56 What's going to be the next part of his combo?
00:59 - Yes.
01:00 Stomping it.
01:04 - Two minutes left on the run.
01:10 (speaking in foreign language)
01:13 - So that's that speed generation.
01:30 And I love the way that he's able to just
01:32 lean the bike over like that.
01:35 The further that it is from your center point of gravity,
01:37 the harder it is to have that balance point
01:40 and still rotate around.
01:42 So we're just past that halfway mark on the clock.
01:46 - Yu Shouji accumulating the combos
01:53 and the technical moves.
01:56 Big transfer here on the front wheel.
02:00 (speaking in foreign language)
02:04 - What?
02:11 Insane.
02:14 - Huge hop.
02:14 That's what we talk about switching.
02:17 And that's such a risky move
02:19 because you have all cement and rolling
02:21 and you're transferring your weight
02:23 while you're doing that big loop of faith.
02:25 And then you have to find the balance point
02:26 on your other wheel.
02:27 (speaking in foreign language)
02:31 - 30 seconds left on the clock for Yu Shouji.
02:36 (groaning)
02:37 Feet down.
02:39 It was perfect up to this point.
02:41 - Well, let's see if he can recover
02:44 'cause Mathias Dandoye did touch down
02:46 and still got into the 90s.
02:48 So let's see if Yu Shouji brings a big hammer.
02:50 - Yeah, that's not quite as stomp as he would have liked,
02:57 but saved it.
03:00 Yes.
03:05 Yes.
03:07 Finishing strong.
