Kairi Yamada joined the Fit Familia in 2020 after earning the ultimate VOUCH from Van "Mother F'n" Homan. Van, who had spend the two years leading up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games living in Japan and regularly riding the Bashi Burger ramps, was impressed with the then 9-year-old and wanted to hook him up. Well, four years later... it looks like the Homanator knew what he was doing.
Most grown folk don't have flow like Japan's Kairi Yamada! At age 11, he is on a path for epic heights!
Eleven-year-old, Japanese shredder, Kairi Yamada, rides with style way beyond his years. The kid has so much swag that the Van Homan took it upon himself to hit us up this time last year (while based in Tokyo working on the 2020 Olympics), to tell us about a young kid who was crushin' the Bashi Burger ramps... and the rest is history.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
