84 KICK LOS ANGELES TRIP
A lot of people say “my life a movie for real”, but Satoshi’s life is truly a movie. He stays traveling the world and documenting the best times with his bike. When Satoshi told me he was coming out for our competition, I was incredibly flattered that somebody would come all the way from Japan for an event I was throwing. Top that off with the fact that he’s a legend in the game and I’m basically fan-boying.
84 documented what feels like every moment of his whole trip. So many familiar faces, places, tricks, moments, and everything in between. This hour long movie is really worth sitting down taking the time to soak it all in. You get street riding, flat riding, competition coverage, and more. Satoshi really went above and beyond in the edit here with all the handmade graphics plus having to sort through hours and hours of footage to narrow this all down.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. Arigato!
Max Corcoran Takes Your Trick Suggestions
Super fun video concept from Max! He polled his followers for trick suggestions and he kindly obliged. Some familiar tricks and some foreign tricks in regards to Max’s skillset, but he made it all happen and actually mostly made it look easy! He even went the extra mile and went to a bunch of different spots for each suggestion. Worth a few watches!
Max Corcoran – Courttek Bike Check
Although that FOAD already posted a video bike check of Max’s Courttek, I thought I’d still share a photo breakdown of his extremely dialed Master Courttek build. A perfect mix of commuter and trickster. Full breakdown and gallery in the post!

Marco Marquez Master Frameset Closer Look
As we all know, the new Master 2023 frames dropped and are some of the most interesting colorways fixie has seen to date. Oscar Lopez sent over this gallery that gives us a closer look at all the details on Marco’s “GHVST RIDER” colorway plus a look at his current whip. Click into the post for the full gallery and snag a frame here!
MATT SPENCER – TAKE IT
When I first started doing tricks on fixed gears around 2010, Matt was one of the first riders I got really into. His fluent style, trick choices, and editing were what drew me to his riding back then. 13 years later, Matt continues to deliver on all those things and more. This was one of the edits we had the pleasure of premiering during the Suck My Comp weekend and you already know I will be watching again and again and again. Nearing 15 minutes of wild spots and a wide variety of riding, this is one for the ages.
Matt prefaced me on this edit basically saying it was just a bunch of decent tricks gathered through the years, almost like a throwaway edit, but this is far far far from just leftover “decent footage”. So many scary setups, sends, flow, all of the above (besides barspins of course). Sit back for this one, get Lost and Take It in.
