“Oh, stay weird Japan! Harharhar!”
Meanwhile we got the redneck games and the hairiest back contest in the U.S. Both consisting of overweight white guys also competing to see how many teeth they have left.
In Canada, we have snowmobile racing in the winter and young children also compete on much smaller machines on the same tracks. I’m assuming these are kids on small bikes with less powerful engines, but the helmets always make the proportions seem uncanny. Honestly, nothing going on here that I would consider strange. Without the audio and the captions, you wouldn’t really be able to tell this is Japan
Minibikes started in Japan in the 1960s but are a global sport for decades. There are even high level competitions. British Championship, European Championship etc… A number of professional riders started on minibikes as kids.
I believe the junior bikes are 40-50cc and children 6-8yo and up are eligible to take part.
Add a couple of hills and it would be Excitebike
You reminded me [Japan World Cup](https://youtu.be/uXZlJGoK78A) exists.
How did pink make that move from 5th to 1st in one lap 👌🏽
Are those kids, dang they having fun!
Pretty tame by Japan standards. I was expecting them to start shooting at each other with BB guns or something.
well, if anything, it’s adorable
Props. I can’t imagine balancing in on that little thing holding a yoga pose for 5km
Well sort of reminds me of these guys.

I’d love a Road Rash version of this

OP: “Haha, look at these tiny bikes in Japan! The Japanese are so silly! In Japan!”
Me, a Long Beach Native, who has to listen to gangs of pocket bike racers at night: (*a meme of SpongeBob having PTSD or something here*)
Where are the tentacles? I was expecting tentacles.
crotch rockets
Nice joke race, but those speeds aint no joke. These dudes are booking it real fast, crash would be pretty gnarly.
Was rooting for pink, especially with orange being a dick @1:50 and 2:23. Was pleasantly surprised with results. 🙂

Reminds me of my electric scooter, but without a stem…terrifying.
