Trail Hunter - Japan

[@117Oblivion117]

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.

[@brianburdett3463]

I was just going to ask who still rewatches old Matt Hunter videos. I always liked this one and still love this song too.

[@rekamniar]

So true. I’ve watched this video like everyday and dreamed to travel with a mtb.

[@bongkeekim]

I'm just like you. But I finally came to Fujimi.

[@Dcprobike]

2024 y aún me motivo con este video

[@norco4shorenfs669]

Still one of my all time favourite videos.

[@whitehall0]

Those trails are amazing. Such smooth flow and great aesthetics. Japan rocks

[@neilgooders6758]

Who in their right mind would dislike this video.

[@Strpwfl]

29 people

[@kangjiyoung3239]

+Str00p w4f3l probs those on 29ers

[@Jam3s1988]

+Kang Jiyoung im pretty sure matt is on a 29er in this video

[@kangjiyoung3239]

+Jordan Scott haha its just a joke cause the number of dislikes was 29 so i just came up with it

[@3m0k1d4evr]

this is a perfect video.

[@thomasdiaz5116]

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

[@ORSALfpv]

i keep watching this everytime i go online.. can't move on without seeing this video

[@christianhuber4054]

Still watching in 2022!! Used to work at a bike shop and we’d play these videos on our TVs. Rad!!

[@mattmatthew6760]

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.

[@loft4me]

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.

[@anthonylivelli5880]

nice writing

[@barmarcelo]

These are soul rides...

[@JorgeArenasKukayo]

Right now, 74 losers

[@TheJakesBlake]

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.

[@isaacmarquez565]

That drop at 2:08...holy wow...they make it look effortless!

[@WillAlfonso]

Those trails looks like UCSC trails with a lil bit of flow trails thrown in. Isaac you gotta try Sweetness, Magic Carpet and Airborne

[@MrJviner1]

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.

[@Mauricio1141]

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.

[@spacecadet8843]

You sure about that? Watch Saturn III Fu Manchu footage to mountain biking. Nothing wrong with louder or faster music

[@MdDidaronnobiNobi]

Japan has lots of awesome riding places

[@The-FunkyPhantom]

Holy crap, I was just watching random videos I had used to watch, this is where I learned about Heartless Bastards. Such a great song.

[@HardwareAddiction]

4 years later, I'm rocking that exact Stumpjumper Evo. :)

[@ConstantineSfyris]

Great video!!!!!!!!!! What an experience.. beautiful Japan!!

[@athanatha1]

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...

[@WGazeon]

Japan and trail riding. Awesome.

[@SAFC674]

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!

[@James-yy4vl]

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

[@charltonf250]

Quite possibly the best one ive seen. Watched twice

[@CHIBA280CRV]

That looked like a Sick ride !! F- en , awesome!!! Wish I was there ...

[@flakeyjay]

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.

[@daveh3979]

Had my evo over 6 years and still smile every time I hop on.

[@HcscprfadCs]

Where exactly is this place ??? I’m living in Japan and this is a bucket list high end dream

[@MrUnegomme]

Wow, looks like a mind-blowing trail I would love to ride!

[@charleshennings5134]

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!!

[@SimonHergott]

Cinematography is so top notch

lots of fun and beauty trail

[@kemalmahisa2816]

can u see how jinya and his hardtalis can keep up with matt? sick!

[@TheLibRider]

+Kemal Mahisa dude was thinking the same thing, straight samurai!

[@chechilokillo7453]

Total mente hermozo!!!! La esensia pura de la vida libre woooooi!!!

[@kemalmahisa2816]

2 my fav rider: matt & jinya...!!! shred those trails!!!

[@Sureño_del_Norte]

El tramo a partir del min. 3:40 es impresionante!!! FLOW en estado puro.

[@kenta4037]

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.

[@gondolf153]

Added to my bucket list

[@CrustyTOOTS]

Beautifully filmed! Ahhhh love it

[@biggrigg1371]

Man this is my type of trail no steep drop offs no loose rocks just pure speed and berms and dirt. Nice shred!

[@paking77]

The Dream Trail! Damn, Arigato Japan, I'll be there someday!

[@sultanabran1]

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.

[@bluenote84149]

All about the feeling!

[@afif88firuz]

Dominik Neuffer

[@allen423100]

sultanabran1 Keep riding for the Enjoyment, the rest may Fallow.. :)

[@Jay-gk7ss]

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

[@andrewacosta8872]

+sultanabran1 so much yes.

[@andyp6169]

This is seriously awesome

[@junelopez9520]

Sickness really enjoyed the music

[@anaray567]

wow! ... freaking awesome ...

[@117Oblivion117]

The long bends, the curves, wow.

[@matiascodorniu1709]

Todos queremos ser como Matt Hunter...

[@BartGraulus]

That's just all it's about! Biking I love it!! And now i go for a ride!!! :)

[@cedriceveleigh]

I like the vibe

[@m.ks.d9919]

いつか行ってみたい場所ですねぇ

[@CrustyTOOTS]

That kid can shred!! Keeping up with Matt on a hard tail

[@2Bikerss]

Beautiful place, nice trail!!! I thought the beginning was speed up haha

[@astonkocha]

beautiful

[@YukinagaFinn]

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.... :)

[@ak_vg9715]

Awesome vid and place.

[@myakanrider217]

amazing trail

[@shadostorm8375]

That actually looks like a very fun trail!!

[@patrickkktam]

[@chise30]

[@northerngunner2756]

Sweet trails !

[@Faerilylyly]

Does anyone have suggestions on places to mountain bike in Japan, specifically in Hokkaido?

[@migui8850]

Man that is so awesome! I wonder what time of the year that was?

[@morganparks7329]

How about that dude freaking ripping on the hard tail. \m/

[@slivzzz]

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,

[@NorminkoDH]

@@slivzzz No need for a rear shock on these trails.

[@allen423100]

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.

[@jm.3012]

[@Bobbobinson4]

[@masakof8417]

Alexander Chambers look up Fujiten ski and MTB trails

[@cakloscratch7750]

[@endex47]

[@derfietron]

Chromag Stylus. :)

[@KarolisBorkertas]

666th like from me :) one of the best mtb videos i ever seen. music so perfect. love

[@mikemumford1327]

Where is this at? The ski life look like Fujiten's lift... Is this the trails on MT. Fuji?

[@woutermertens6907]

4:01 Look at that floooooow

[@FStopProductions]

incredibly good video!!

[@lopez41087]

Where does this trail start?

[@OakFlooringDirectCoUk]

Nice vid, link to the bikes would be useful?

[@MrSasko55]

what us the name of this place ? amazing trails

[@toobigal]

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.

[@rholsor]

wish i was there

[@agus1hep5]

location please

[@HiThere800]

how could they shoot in the forest like that? do they filmed it also on a bike with glide cam? or camera sliders? im so curious

[@joeljaschke1878]

I am not sure if I remember correctly, but I think they did it with a cable cam. Not totally sure but I think I read it somewhere. To me cable cam makes the most sense though.

[@didoman8521]

where location of japan I 'want to go

[@alva8818]

Show!

[@holiwar14]

That's the real dream, Being a World Rider. ♥

[@chuanqisun]

the bright yellow bike is a hard tail. RAD!

[@johnnyfelcher8156]

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?

[@chuanqisun]

Johnny Felcher hard-tail doesn't have rear suspension. it takes a lot more physical strength to ride.

[@briancardinal1674]

I cried cause the feels

[@locctr]

Cool :D Japan where? Please tell me the GPS coordinates

[@MrMarioProc]

how many times you will re upload this video ???

[@jorgejams96]

Nice vídeo!

[@pk-production5134]

i like the guy on the neon hardtail

[@willjones6601]

what is the hardtail that guy is riding?

[@masakof8417]

will jones yellow one? Chromatic Canadian bike

[@aaron31659]

I feel bad for whoever set up the cable cams for those forest shots. But sick video!

[@MrDaveGomez]

Quiero ir a Japón a volar rueda!

[@krolltang]

Hey, Specialized Bicycles, how can I find the last trail in this video? Might be heading to Japan soon.

[@BenRitchie]

How did you get the chesty footage to be so stable !?

[@MykeLima]

Where is the trail in japan?

[@masakof8417]

Myke Lima I think Fujiten ski and Mtb trails www.mtbr.com has a review page

[@MykeLima]

Masako F Thanks.
