84Kick – Pitch black feat. AYUMU

Satoshi is PUMPING out the content! This new piece features an OG in the Japan scene, Ayumu. Along with being a dedicated rider, Ayumu has helped organize some really impactful trick competitions and events for the Japan scene over the years (the NORIDAORE series). These days while the events have cooled off a bit, he still gets out frequently to ride his bike in his own way. Such a unique style that’s really fun to watch. Like I keep saying, Satoshi’s skills as a filmer have been getting exponentially better and I look forward to everything he releases.

84Kick – FORKONE INTERVIEW

Love how involved and dedicated Satoshi has been to creating high quality Fixed Gear content for the pleasure of our eyeballs. Satoshi just dropped an interview with the very mysterious Forkone, aka Koichi Higo. They cover a vast amount of really interesting topics so it’s worth sitting down and watching. Especially since Satoshi was kind enough to translate it for us.

FORKONE Mellow Mellow Right On EDIT 2024

After a quiet year, Forkone is BACK with some mind melting heaters! He’s truly got some of the most unique riding and nobody can even come close to his style. Satoshi captured this real clean too, some great camera work going on. Also, thanks for the shoutout and sticker placement, hell yeah. Don’t skip this!

84Kick – FIXIKA Georgy Porgy EDIT 2024

Not exactly Fixed Gear, but 84Kick just released this cool edit of Kai. If you don’t know Kai, he is a pioneer of the Fixed Freestyle movement in Japan and was featured in Bootleg Sessions 2. He’s riding a Blackmarket NSF freewheel mode in this video, but it’s still fun to watch him rip around on it and see an FGFS legend still having fun on bikes.

Satoshi Hashimoto – Bike Check

While Satoshi was in town for SMC 6 I pulled him aside to snag some photos of him and his Courttek. Although the setup may be a bit dated for some, it was an honor to meet him him and ride his bike. It’s set up almost exactly the way I prefer my Trick Track bikes. I have a bunch of other people’s bikes to post up from this same setup, so lookout for some more bike checks. For now, check out Satoshi’s full setup and rundown after the jump!

SUCK MY COMP 6 Trick Track Highlights

84kick Mid 2023 Recap

SICK mix from 84Kick recapping just the middle portion of the year. Featuring Baek Horang, YSO, and of course Satoshi aka 84Kick. Satoshi’s combinations and trick choices are all so unique to him and I don’t see anybody else doing it the way he does. The next closest person style wise is actually in this video, Baek. His Keo Curry style is so fluid and I can’t think of a better duo to be featured in a video. Those hard way footplants are my favorite, I’ll have to try that out soon. Don’t miss this!

Baek Horang Love talkin’ Edit

Been saying this for a while now, but Baek Horang is the TRUTH. He easily resembles the closest thing we have to a modern day Keo Curry in terms of trick choice and smoothness, but he definitely has his own flair to it. I could watch him ride all day and there’s some really good tricks in here. Love the high speed stuff, love the Keo rocks, so good. Satoshi killed it with the filming and edit as always too. Great week for content, watch this!!
