SAMURAI TRICK COMP

84kick is hosting The fixed gear trick competition called “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP” in Tokyo, Japan. Around 10 riders are already in. Over the past few years, I’ve been attending competitions overseas, but it’s been a long time since I could watch Japanese riders closely, so I’m really looking forward to this.

This time, I wanted to keep it as pure as possible, like 100% rider’s DIY pure, so there will be no sponsorship from brands, manufacturers, or shops. The location will be kept secret and shared only with registered riders. I’ve received some inquiries from overseas riders, but this time the event will be for domestic riders only. If everything goes well, I’d like to open it up to international riders in the future.

Alright everyone, see you on March 7th.

Eurotrip 35mm – Bridge Session

I realized that I still have unreleased pics from our Ruff Netherlands trip in 2023 (saving a lot of it for when the Ruff full length releases), but I have some stuff safe for release in the vaults still. Here’s a few off my 35mm during our bridge session.

Koichi Higo aka FORKONE – Boomerang

It’s been a while, but I finally went out for a night shoot with Koichi Higo aka FORKONE again.
His creativity always pushes my motivation and keeps my shooting spirit alive.
We captured a few scenes, and here’s one of his signature moves — the boomerang.

Off Track Ep. 37 – STEVEN JENSEN

Today we’ve got a hell of a guest for the pod! One of the biggest names to ever come out of our scene and someone who single handedly progressed so much of our sport, Steven Jensen!

That just about wraps up all the SMC content we had! Last things to look forward to are the official scores from both comps, phone pic gallery, and a Privileged Bread episode.

Gallery – SMC 8 Day 1 by Suzie

Suck My Comp 8 gallery is here! For the last few years we actually haven’t had a dedicated photographer shooting these, but luckily for this one Suzie stepped up to the plate and killed it. I think in the future I’ll drop pics before the video edits, but nonetheless here are the full batch of pics from Suzie’s cam on day 1: FGFS day! (click into post for full gallery)
