Andy Sparks visited in Fukuoka city Japan in July. I’m sending some picture of Andy and Shun. Group picture as well. It’s rainy season here in Japan. But I tried street sesh as much we can. You can see Andy’s bike got so rusty. So great to see you again, ANDY!!!! Welcome back to Japan!!!!

We’re announcing the official scores from the Samurai Trick Comp Vol.2. Judges: KOZO, ANDY SPARKS and BONJU.
A total of 14 competitors entered the comp, divided into PRO and AM divisions. Qualifiers and finals were originally planned, but rain just before the event led to the cancellation of the qualifiers, so only the finals were held. In the AM division, two competitors rode at the same time, while PRO competitors rode individually. Each competitor completed two 90-second runs. Each run was scored out of 60 points by three judges, and their scores were averaged to determine the run score. The higher of the two run scores counted as the competitor’s final score.

I visited him in Seattle in October 2010. I thought I lost these photos on my old hard drive, but recently I found some of them. This trip is one of the greatest memories of my life because it was my first time visiting a local scene abroad and meeting local riders there. Looking back now, I realize that this trip truly became part of my roots.

Slovak boy and Masterbike Co. teammate Jakub Bruch visited me last August. Here are some pictures from a little sesh we had in my hood. I guess he was the first person to ride this spot on a fixed gear, even though it was already well known among BMX riders.

Jakub Bruch captured these amazing moments from the recent SAMURAI TRICK COMP VOL.2. Thank you, Jakub! Now I’m editing the video as well and can’t wait to share it with you. Stay tuned! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to all our sponsors for support!
Some film shots of the legend Watcha and his bike while we were out in the bay area last May. His Master build is so unique looking, I love it.
I’m just getting back from so much travelling, so we’re back to regularly scheduled programming here. I have so many film photos and photos in general in the backlog, gonna try really hard to clear everything out and let ’em out of their prison cells that are my hard drives, starting with Mr. Watcha here.
Me (84kick), Andy Sparks and Kozo are hosting a fixed gear trick competition, “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP,” in Tokyo! Maybe you think, “Why Andy Sparks?” Last month, I met Andy in Fukuoka and told him about this idea. He liked it and said, “I will come to Tokyo!” So I thought, OK, we have to do it! August in Japan is super hot, so we will start in the evening. Around 15 riders already entered. I’m really excited!
Last time, I decided to have no sponsors. But this time, Andy and I talked a lot, and we decided to have sponsors for the young riders. I asked my friends who always support us, and they said yes right away. I’m so happy! Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate it! Some riders from overseas will also join this time. August in Japan is fucking hot, but let’s have fun together!
See you there!
