Rimu Nakamura came all the way from Japan to ride in the 2016 Toronto BMX Jam where he placed first in expert qualifying and second in the expert finals.

Rimu’s riding was pretty much flawless, he was all over the course, going big with a gnarly bag of tricks. It was a good chance to meet Rimu, hang out and do a bike check.

Rimu is 14 and hasn’t been on a 20″ for too long. He is obviously as serious about his setup and bike sizing as he is about his riding; he is running a smaller 20″ frame with a 20″ top tube, smaller than average bars with a 7.75″ rise, shorter crank arms at 165mm and slightly less reach on his stem at 48mm offset. Rimu has personilized his ride too, with one black and one white pedal and a gnarly 666 airlines brass headset spacer.
