Taka Higashino Freestyle Gold Run - Summer X Games

Have you ever wanted to see what it would be like to do a 360 in the air well heres your chance. Here we see Taka Higashino going for his Freestyle gold run in the Summer X Games 2013 in Foz Do Iguacau, Brazil. With the new GoPro camera you get access to all the exicitment. My personal favourite moment is at 1:00 where he does the seat grab truly spectacular.

Great view! Taka is the man in FMX right now. It's cool to hear him enjoying the run. @marina - yes, also for some tricks they use the fold out "levers" you can see on his bars to help keep contact with the bars. Some tricks they are not touching the bike at all in the air! @devon they get hurt, a lot, and often quite badly! It's just a part of the sport. But seriously, the leap from foam pit to dirt must be intense.

Amazing! I know they practice flipping in huge foam filled containers and what not, but still, how do they push until they get to the point where they can do this one right after another with no room for error? Crazy stuff.

So he's in the air and he just holds on to the bike by the seat!? This is outrageous. Damn.
