Umikaze, Yokosuka, Japan
Mikku:
I decided to make the most of a sunny day today and go to the most dangerous place in Japan! Yokosuka hosts the biggest US naval base in Japan and with North Korea threatening to blow up all and sundry in response to the arrival of a US aircraft carrier-led battle group in the Sea of Japan, it's perhaps not the best place to be at the moment. So with the threat of military action hanging over the region, I decided to do the only sensible thing and go for a ride, packing my Crupi into its Tioga Cocoon and taking to the trains to check out a BMX track in Yokosuka! :idiot2:
Umikaze (sea breeze in English) is a waterside leisure area with a dirt track next to a skate/BMX park, and those of you with a good memory will recall that Clint and his brother went there on Clint’s visit last year! I spent a fun couple of hours down there, practising the ol' rhythm sections in between the photo breaks! I also had the track to myself, which was a bonus, as was the absence of missile strikes! :daumenhoch:

Looks like a lovely day for it Mick. :daumenhoch:
Sounds daft but we almost missed the track, tucked away as it is behind the tennis court wall.
Had a few laps, but found all the pumping tiring in the heat.... not like freestyle
:LolLolLolLol:
Tachikoma:
Holy heck you carried it all the way there!
I really should stop being an antisocial layabout and join you on your travels sometime!
Nice to see the track, no doubt Clint's getting itchy feet at the idea of getting to ride it again from the pics!
Really need to get my new built finished up and the roof rack for the car sorted too!

Mikku:
Thanks guys!

Yeah, I couldn't find it to begin with and that was after reading your post on here first!! :crazy2:
It was fun but unlike the freestyle park, once you start there's not a lot of room to stop, so I found it bloody knackering even without the heat you had. :D
