I’m very fortunate to have been invited to race keirin in Japan. My last year was 2010 which was Francois’s first year. I also went in 2005, 2006, and 2009. I’m the only non Japanese Asian to have ever competed in the NJS circuit to date. I’d say it’s the best sporting experience in my life. Even more so than competing at the Olympics.
What an experience it must have been for you! P. S.: Keirin would be a cool name for a kid. 😉
How cool! Were you required to go thru the Keirin school? Did you already speak/ know Japanese enough to go thru the school?
@@flyingdutchmanROS international keirin riders were only required to go to a condensed version that took 2 weeks instead of 11 months. We all had translators
can i ask what ratios they are using in keirin?
It was getting out of hand for awhile but I believe they have capped the ratios now. Not positive but I think it’s something like 52x12 cap these days in Japan Keirin.
Clip-in pedals and straps? Damn! Dude will never become disconnected from his bike!
By far the best documentary I’ve seen on Keirin, amazing job.
This video is absolutely incredibly good. This man and his Japanese fellow riders have my real respect.
Great documentary and good introduction to the world of Keirin. Great man Pervis
Incredible story. Stressing ever important discipline, resolve and determination... glad I watched it
Excellent documentary about Keirin, and a great French sportsman - thank you very much!
That was really good. It inspired me. I even see track cycling in a new light
thanks for sharing this, so great
Great man and great documentary
This was effin' AWESOME!!!!! Thanks so much, Sparks in Daytona
This video is amazing
Awesome video article!
Love this!
Strong men,Pervis you are a cycle god!
BRAVO
... what a nice guy... and anyone who can ride on rollers with no side support (wall) has my utmost respect... you guys know what I mean :0)
Kinda sad he didn’t talk about his bike though
I'm sure it smells nice in that dorm
12:24 "Must wear suit and tie" Perkins in the back not complying
what a beautiful sport really, that’s so cool that the winner gives respect to losers by giving them gifts, that’s what you people are loosing in west - respect, soul.
great film.
mark hancock THANKS !!
@@yffiniac can u plz tell how many minutes of running every morning?
I love riding track bikes would love to have a Keirin bike a little out of my reach maybe one day. Great film. Good luck!
NJS export. They always have scratch and dent frames that are very reasonable and used parts.
@@heroinbath1877 Thank you for bringing this my attention! I didn’t know it was that easy to buy a njs frame and what a wide selection too! Once I save up I’m going for it 🤩
Very good k
I wish he would have actually said what his gear ratio is
Maybe 50:14
Shame he was a bit "Off-tune" at the World championships last week but he'll be fully fired-up for Rio this summer!
Damn... the Japanese are so intense! They live, breathe, eat, and sleep the bicycle.
And juice till the wheels fall off. The thing about Japan is there are no drug controls at all and sportsmen are actually encouraged to dope.
Sashimi, too.
does he also use tubular wheels on practice?
Japanese Keirin is what all cycling should be....
Keirin Track and Mountain Biking are only needed
he is speaking english... with those who are speaking english too!
12:27 Perkins?
Which is the final song?
vladysz11 it's Benjamin Clementine "Cornerstone"
WHATS THE RATIO
Sweet ass fucking bike. I will buy a njs track bike someday…
That's how I want my legs.
His physique is pure goals, track cyclists do be built nice
Gajins can going to keirin School? If yes, how? I didn't found nothing. Or just with invite?
anyone can join. If you're a pro already, you might an invitation as part of the exchange program as well. Without an invitation as a guest, you will have to join the full one year, and take all classes in Japanese, and graduate in order to compete. There is an age limit as you can guess, but I guess the biggest barrier is that if you're not a pro you have to speak almost perfect Japanese in order to join/graduate, and most gaijin don't enjoy the super strict life you are forced to live during and after kerin school.
@@zerocooljpn thanks. Im not pro at track, in my country we dont have a track so im only race on road and ride fixed on criteriums and streets.
Full year School is a best part of this! I dont wanna skip it. :D but In other forums someone say gajins only can go there with invitation. :( So its looks like I will never join to keirin. :(
@@baranybumm hey man. Holy sh*t, you really look interested. I don't know about your other forum, but I just checked the official site, just for you. This is the application site: keirin-jik.jp/application.html and these are the conditions to apply: keirin-jik.jp/assets/pdf/yoko_119_ippan.pdf There are no restrictions on nationality. You can be a foreigner and apply. But you need to have residence in Japan, and be 17 years old or above, and have a high school diploma. It says some other basic things, like not having a criminal record (please don't be a yakuza), not having tattoos, etc. For guys, the approval percentage is pretty low though. Like only 10% get accepted. If you're a girl it's like 80% ;).
If you're serious about it, unless you speak perfect Japanese already (which I'm guessing it's not the case, or you'd know this information already...), I think the most realistic would be to come either for work, or apply to a Japanese language school for a year or two on Japanese. Then apply.
It's not easy learning Japanese, and it will certainly cost money. But if your dream is to be track cyclist in Japan, at least the fact that you're foreigner is not stopping you. If you're a good one you can be pretty rich too.
@@zerocooljpn wow , I dont know why but iddnt found this page, maybe the Google is hide it from me.(currently now Im in Germany and its working rly strange here.. 🙄)
I translated the pdf, and its ddnt say anything about age or native country!
So if I going to Japanese language school with some national program i can apply to the keirin school and if I they only test is matter! Im good enough or not! Its sounds like a good option! 🤔 Woh man, thanks! So now I have to make a good plan. :D
@@baranybumm ahaha your translator must not be very good. In the pdf "３．応募資格" = "application requirements". "(1) 日本国内に居住する男子であること。"be a male, having residence in Japan" (this is the male student application btw). "(2) 年令は、２０２０年４月１日現在満１７才以上であること。" = "be 17 years old or above on April 1st, 2020".
Yeah man, it's a plan at least. Going to a language school you can get a student visa for one year, and apply for a new visa after you get accepted in the keirin school. Getting a job would also work of course. If you get in, please introduce me to any of the girls doing keirin. I'm in love with almost all of them. I'm a big fan of girls keirin (not much into the guy's keirin really...). Cheers.
Anyone knows about his crank length?
165 usually.
Girlfriend should know!🤣🤣🤣🍺

Why only steel bikes?
Tradition, standardisation, reliability.
they crash a lot because it is allowed to bump other competitors. carbon fibre or alu for example would simply crack into pieces. steel, on the other hand, is more flexible can have chance of surviving a crash for the next race. besides, kirin riders have no sponsors, they pay themselves, reliability and endurance are extremely important.
回覆
all commented already, but mostly "rules"
I think this people are crazy a little bit😅
This comment section tends to be embarrassing. People with stupid questions like "Why are the bikes old?" and "Gambling is not a sport." Typical arrogant ignorant Western comments that take the attitude "How come their bikes are different and the way they do things is different?" No wonder few Westerners are invited. They lack respect and a sense of honor and dignity.
WHY ARE THE BIKES OLD
Javier Narro the regulations of keirin racing mandates a steel bike which is pretty antiquated compared to the carbon fiber we see in the Olympic stage. I was also thinking it could be tradition/economy. Tradition because it was established back in 1948 so there has been minor improvements that make it seem as if you're watching a race from the 80's. Economy, as every rider can afford to buy one and repair it at a reasonable cost while in seclusion.
+jose pajares but njs certified parts/frames are far from cheap...
the bikes are not old there hand made in japan steel tubing most are brand new as you cant have a dented or any kind of flaw
Because they wont stab you if they crash and scattered.
To boggle your tiny pea brain.
gamble is not a sport
And stupid comment like yours show no brain.
