SAMURAI TRICK COMP

84kick is hosting The fixed gear trick competition called “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP” in Tokyo, Japan. Around 10 riders are already in. Over the past few years, I’ve been attending competitions overseas, but it’s been a long time since I could watch Japanese riders closely, so I’m really looking forward to this.

This time, I wanted to keep it as pure as possible, like 100% rider’s DIY pure, so there will be no sponsorship from brands, manufacturers, or shops. The location will be kept secret and shared only with registered riders. I’ve received some inquiries from overseas riders, but this time the event will be for domestic riders only. If everything goes well, I’d like to open it up to international riders in the future.

Alright everyone, see you on March 7th.

Eurotrip 35mm – Bridge Session

I realized that I still have unreleased pics from our Ruff Netherlands trip in 2023 (saving a lot of it for when the Ruff full length releases), but I have some stuff safe for release in the vaults still. Here’s a few off my 35mm during our bridge session.

Koichi Higo aka FORKONE – Boomerang

It’s been a while, but I finally went out for a night shoot with Koichi Higo aka FORKONE again.
His creativity always pushes my motivation and keeps my shooting spirit alive.
We captured a few scenes, and here’s one of his signature moves — the boomerang.

Jackson Bradshaw – Throwback Edit

Don’t let Jackson’s false title fool you, this 2015 throwback edit from FOAD and Jackson originally titled “Technique Fleek” was a super impactful edit when it originally dropped in 2015. 2015 was a weird year because the entire scene seemed to drop off a cliff. Web edits became few and far between (although more were still dropping than the present day) and riding started to go in a more techy direction. Jackson dropped this one and there were a lot of progressive clips in here.

Jackson was one of the first to really dial in feeble hard 180s (and would later go on to be one of the first to do pegs hard 180). His ability to link tricks was also on another level, and then that ender was and still is an NBD, although I think this might be a standard trick for a bikelife kid now minus the bunnyhop into it.

Anyways, this edit also got me into Black Marble and has extraordinary vibes. Jackson, you rule.
