Jinya Nishiwacki, 24, is from Saitama near Tokyo, Japan. A graduate of mechanical engineering he moved to Whistler several years ago after falling in love with the place on a trip there in 2006. He rides a hardtail HARD! He rides everyday on all sorts of terrain and works at Chromag as their assembly guy and warehouse man.

From the land of the rising sun, to the land of the rooty run.
A Samurai with a gun, seeking out hellish trails of fun.
With hardened steel he will roam, blunt instrument for slicing through ribbons of loam.
Chopping at logs, crushing rocks.
A red dragon play fights with the snarling bear, holding its crotch the claws tear.
Barebone simplicity, a chain link in complicity,
First visit the first step in the synchronicity,
Four years later still returning for summers away from the city.
Born and raised of high tech minds, culture of digital designs.
Exchanged for a lifestyle of two wheeled single mindedness.
Boxing, building, shipping items of craft and care, so others may abuse their fair share.
Stand up my friend, there’s no bounce if you send.
