Japanese trial bike Ninja rider, Tomomi Nishikubo takes up a challenge to compete for 110m hurdles, long jump, 3000m steeplechase, high jump and 100m sprint on two wheels!— Red Bull Bike
I have always been a huge fan of big international sports events and festivals. This video, my BIKE Pentathlon is my way of acknowledging this. It’s my tribute to the sport – with twinkle in the eye.— Tomomi Nishikubo
Kind of wish they wouldn't introduce him as "Japanese . . . ninja rider." It's pretty obvious that he's Japanese. "Happiest man on two wheels" seems a more fitting title.
It's not like PB has tons of headlines about "Alpenhorn mouthing Austrian Trials Star Fabio Wibmer" or "Edam Guzzling, SPD-clog sporting rocketman Mathieu Van Der Poel."
Nishikubo's riding is more than enough to get attention, no need to spice it up with lazy national stereotypes.
I love the way he clips his helmet up in preparation with a little puff of his cheeks each time he's about to hit something big... But the helmet strap is so loose he might as well leave it undone
@nozes: Yeah, but how cool would it have been if he'd fenced while on the bike, did some stunt riding in an empty pool, did some trials riding on a show jumping course, and then cruised through the woods plinking cans off branches?

What if it’s because it’s what he calls himself?

Maybe your jump to conclusions mat is defective? Unfortunately it’s probably working as intended.
Do you think they would just mislead us like that?
If this is true, it's despicable on a whole new level, I can't imagine a worse crime.
Ahem.. just saying
Great riding!
