A lot of people say “my life a movie for real”, but Satoshi’s life is truly a movie. He stays traveling the world and documenting the best times with his bike. When Satoshi told me he was coming out for our competition, I was incredibly flattered that somebody would come all the way from Japan for an event I was throwing. Top that off with the fact that he’s a legend in the game and I’m basically fan-boying.
84 documented what feels like every moment of his whole trip. So many familiar faces, places, tricks, moments, and everything in between. This hour long movie is really worth sitting down taking the time to soak it all in. You get street riding, flat riding, competition coverage, and more. Satoshi really went above and beyond in the edit here with all the handmade graphics plus having to sort through hours and hours of footage to narrow this all down.
Although that FOAD already posted a video bike check of Max’s Courttek, I thought I’d still share a photo breakdown of his extremely dialed Master Courttek build. A perfect mix of commuter and trickster. Full breakdown and gallery in the post!
As we all know, the new Master 2023 frames dropped and are some of the most interesting colorways fixie has seen to date. Oscar Lopez sent over this gallery that gives us a closer look at all the details on Marco’s “GHVST RIDER” colorway plus a look at his current whip.

Traveling 18 hours from Melbourne, Max Corcoran made his way up above to California to ride some bikes with friends. Park, street, and everything in between, Max is a rising star that can do just about everything on his pegless 700c FGFS bike. Showcased in this here video is only a fraction of his talents and I can’t wait to see where he goes from here. It was a pleasure having him around and a pleasure to point a camera at him.
