SAMURAI TRICK COMP HIGHLIGHTS
HIghlights just dropped from 84Kick of his recent Samurai Trick Comp event that went down last weekend! Lots of good things to say about this:
I really love seeing people I’ve never heard of shredding these bikes we love. There are so many new faces and names I’ve never heard of that came out the woodworks for this and killed it with some skills that certainly aren’t new. Seeing all the different kinds of bike setups is also super fun. We’ve got everything from track bikes to 26″ builds in the mix and a lot of bikes in between. Riders really going for it all throughout too, so fun to see! A few riders specifically that stood out to me:
Keisuke is officially one of my favorite 700c hybrid riders now. His drip on and off the bike is fun to watch and he has such clean tricks. He also isn’t afraid to send it, his slam in the finals looked rough. Doesn’t hurt that he rides my frame too!
Kazu looks like an OG. He’s got a classic bag of tricks and clean style that’s super fun to watch. If you told me he’s been riding since 2008 I would believe you.
Takataka’s energy is contagious. I want to meet him and just hang out with him.
Minami has a creative mind. I want to see him develop his bike control more so he can put that creativity to use. There’s lots of potential there.
Sota’s bike setup is crazy and his sends over the blocks was super respectable.
Shun is the complete package and the future. He’s got the speed, style, and tricks. He deserved the win for sure!
Chris Alzona – Table For 1 Vol 7
My man Chris spinning to winning!! SOme mind melters in here as well as progression in the 180’s department. Looking really good! Doing it for Resist / Volume
FOAD – Throwback Skatepark Edit
FOAD just uploaded this gem from 2015 with the OG FOAD crew plus Matt Spencer hitting some SLC parks! Original title for this one was Concrete Waves from July 2015. Matt’s 3’s were dialed in this one and Chase’s 540s out of quarters are nuts!
Off Track Ep. 38 – ELLIOTT MILNER
This week in the virtual studio we’ve got one of the GOATs of our sport, Elliott Milner! We discuss his origins, Stay Strapped, how he get so damn good, some beefs, and so much more. Huge shoutout to Elliott for joining the show!
If you like what we do with Off Track, be sure to check out our Patreon where we continue the conversation with Elliott!
Josh Price – Get On Your Feet
Josh already prepping for SMC 9! Loving the street selection in this and looking real comfortable on his SMC 8 prize of the Marco Hightek. Also love the rail line at 2:40, awesome to see him expanding his bag of tricks.
Marcus – Forbidden Fixie
Marcus builds a very cursed bike and tries to ride it. He doesn’t ride it much in this video but it seems like he figured it out better in this IG video!
Josh Price – Practice with Pegs
Josh putting his pegs to use on his 27.5″ Master build! Those tooth picks are scaaary.
MUST WATCH – FBZ408 – Goonz On Deck 4
Them boys outdid themselves with this one! Absolute heat coming from the FBZ in norcal featuring so many names (Antonio, Boothby, MTS, and more). The main stars of this though are the 3 core dudes: PVN, Kam, and Watcha. PVN comes through with really solid tricks and has those feeble 3’s absolutely dialed. I feel like he could take his bag of tricks and apply them to any obstacle no matter how scary. Kam always keeps me guessing with the tricks he’s gonna do and he’s just so damn stylish. Then finally we got Watcha who comes through with some super high level tricks. He’s back to fighting form and I’m so glad to see it.
The question remains though, WHO IS FBZ408 ADMIN?
