Taka’s had a decorated career, but it didn’t take long for him to claim his place among the FMX elite.
Paving his own way, Taka became a motocross pro at age 20 and arrived in the US in 2007 with a few bucks in his pocket and a dream of making it in professional FMX. Without speaking the language or having any contacts in the scene…
Higashino managed to locate the SoCal training facility of pro rider Mike Metzger on Google Maps and showed up at the door, asking: “Can I ride?” With his strong will and boundless motivation, Higashino impressed Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg, who soon became his mentor.
Taka went on to claim surprise X Games motocross freestyle gold in 2012, followed by two more consecutive X Games gold medals and countless accolades in a storied career.
“A Will Rock Solid” documents how the impossible dream became reality for the 36-year-old motocross innovator from Osaka, Japan.
