A Vision Realized in the Heart of Nature

In an exciting new venture, world-renowned trials rider Tomomi Nishikubo has unveiled the “Northshore” skills park at Forest Bikepark in Odawara, Japan. Nestled just an hour's drive from Tokyo, this stunning forest setting is more than just a beautiful backdrop; it’s the canvas for an ambitious project designed to inspire riders of all levels.

Crafting the Ultimate Riding Experience

Tomomi's journey to create Northshore sprang from his desire to provide a supportive environment for budding riders and enthusiasts. The park features a meticulously crafted area with three distinct lines—beginner, intermediate, and expert—ensuring a progressive learning experience. Riders can develop balance, skills, and confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

From Inspiration to Construction

What makes Northshore truly special is its thoughtful construction. Tomomi and his crew rolled up their sleeves to build the park from the ground up, incorporating features from his latest film, Ride to Survive 2. They even sourced timber from the surrounding forest, infusing the project with local essence.

A Grand Opening Celebration!

The grand opening of Tomomi's Northshore attracted nearly a hundred eager guests, with special rider Eliott Lapotre joining the festivities. After an exciting ribbon-cutting ceremony, riders eagerly took to the trails. While the initial runs were tentative, excitement quickly built as riders familiarized themselves with the course, moving confidently from the beginner to the challenging expert sections.

A Community Focused Initiative

This monumental project has been greatly supported by SR Suntour, which continues to champion community-building through cycling. By creating Northshore, Tomomi not only fulfilled a personal dream but also facilitated a place where professional athletes, emerging talents, and local communities can come together to learn and grow in the sport.
