Sasaki Motoshi Claims Victory at the 2025 Asia BMX Freestyle Championships

In an exhilarating event held from September 13 to 15, 2025, at the Chikujo Wide Area Park BMX Park in Fukuoka, Japan, BMX freestyle rider Motoshi Sasaki emerged victorious, marking his third consecutive win at the Asia BMX Freestyle Championships. This prestigious championship, which brings together top riders from across Asia, demonstrated the athletic prowess and keen dedication of participating athletes.

Sasaki, representing the Beads International Co., which is renowned for managing streetwear brands such as XLARGE and X-girl, became a notable figure in the BMX community. The Asia BMX Freestyle Championships, organized to crown the finest BMX riders in the region, had competitors from several Asian countries this year. Notably, this was the first time the event took place in Japan since its inception. With Sasaki's outstanding performance, it was apparent why he earned such a remarkable reputation in BMX, having previously won the title in the 2019 and 2023 championships.

Reflecting on his recent triumph, Sasaki expressed his mixed feelings about not being at his peak performance leading into the competition. However, he managed to pull off a stable routine without mistakes, which was essential for securing his victory. “I always want to push my limits, but this time I’m satisfied with my stable performance, which won me the championship. Thank you to everyone for your support!” he commented after the event.

Sasaki, born on May 5, 1985, in Chiba, Japan, discovered BMX towards the end of his teenage years, and since then, he has achieved remarkable accolades. He was the first Asian to consecutively win the prestigious Nora Cup, awarded based on votes from professional BMX riders around the world, in 2010 and 2011. As of December 2022, he held the record for the most wins at the All-Japan Championships, with 17 titles to his name.
