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.

Glendora Squad
October 20th, 2024. Squad was DEEP. They really encouraged me through a trick that took about 2 hours.
Fixated x Pep and Strap Collab
The Fixated boys we know and love teamed up with German strapmaker Pep and Strap to make some nice collab straps! Affordably priced, handcrafted by a real Fixed Gear rider, and no hardware. Support the boys and snag a pair here!
Post SMC 7 Ditch Session Gallery
After the SMC 7 Trick Track day, the squad rolled over to the Yes Bikes ditch for a post comp session. Heavy hitters were present and the vibes were immaculate. Here are some pics from the sesh.
Korean Groms
Scene over there is strong. Some unknown groms with some really nice flat tricks!
Crispy on Film
When we were out in the Netherlands we got a chance to hang out with 700ccrispy, aka Crispyn a bunch. He showed us around, translated a lot, made us laugh, and even came to Germany last minute with us. He’s also a big up and coming shredder who we should all keep our eyes peeled for in the coming years. Here are some various pics I snagged of him throughout our journey.

Volar 2024 Recap
Great video showcasing Volar’s team and year! In case Volar isn’t on your radar yet, they’re a group of trick riders from Chile and they make cool clothes. There’s some good tricks in here and some familiar faces. They even got Andy Sparks to send some clips in!
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!
