I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Satoshi is doing an incredible job documenting the Japan scene. He has covered so many riders that I’ve never even heard of, including this newest one of Shun from the far east Japanese island of Kokura. He’s got some great 700c flow and style with a good bag of tricks. So much potential and it makes me so happy to see the Japan scene thriving.

KOZO – I Like It Edit
After over 10 years off the Fixed Gear bike, the legend Kozo returns! Although Fixed Gear isn’t Kozo’s native bike style, in 2010 he transferred his BMX skills to a Fixed Gear bike and became the first person to backflip on fixed.
Satoshi recently hooked up with Kozo, let him use his bike, and he pulled some magic on it. 180 whip on quarter is soooo next level. He pulls some other nice moves in this video too, great work guys!

84Kick – Tadashi Bike Check
Our old friend Tadashi runs down his equally old Bombtrack Dash bike courtesy of Satoshi. He was nice enough to add english subtitles on this so we can keep up with the conversations!
84KICK NETHERLANDS TRIP MOVIE
DAMN. Okay, this might actually be the longest video that’s been released in Fixed Freestyle history. My guy Satoshi legit just dropped a real movie length video. There is WAY too much to call out for this video, but I watched it front to back and there are great moments, tricks, personalities, and everything in between from start to finish. Sit down and enjoy, and thank Satoshi for bringing us so much high quality content.
Tadashi Nakamura – The Style Edit
New joint from 84Kick featuring a very familiar face, Tadashi! Tadashi is the man. If you keep up, you’ll know he’s been riding for a long time now and has a timeless, smooth style and spot approach. While this was only shot in a day, there’s some really nice moves in here along with a ballsy handrail at the end. Great work!
Fixated Comp Finals Runs
Satoshi released the raw version of our FGFS finals runs including myself, Youri, and Ismael. I think documenting like this is really refreshing rather than a flashy compilation of the event. What a fun time!
84Kick – Summer Nite Rides Rising to the Top Edit
84Kick meeting up with Kazu, Ayumu and Kusunoki for some night time Trick Track shred!
Kerry Kimura On the One Edit
New piece from 84Kick is really cool. I haven’t heard the name Kerry Kimura much, and this surprises me given his style and abilities. He’s smooth, stylish, and creative. Kerry clearly has a Teppei influence (not mad at all about it) cause this dude is NICE with the skids. Overall, this was just a super refreshing watch and that leg over skid 180 at the end was SO DIALED!
Kenken Thrasher Bike Check
Clean build from Kenken out of Japan!
