84 Early 2023 Recap

It’s no secret that Satoshi puts in work. Not only does he seemingly release an IG clip every day, but he’s out here making full edits! He’s got one of my favorite styles and really encapsulates that old school creative Keo Curry vibe. He’s been on that Cutter forever but he just got a Courttek, so I’m excited to see what he does on it.

84Kick – Fukuoka Jam

Satoshi made it out to Fukuoka to document a small fixed gear race and jam hosted by the Fish & Chips crew. Even though it’s small, events like this are what keeps a scene strong. There’s a bunch of riders with potential in here that i’ve never seen or heard of before, which is always exciting. Love this!

FORKONE // Yume No Tsuzuki

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE. Little late on this cause I was on vacation, but 84kick dropped this INSANE edit of flatland fixed freestyle extraordinaire forkone aka Koichi. There’s too much progressive goodness to call out specifically that I don’t see anyone else messing with in here. Watching this edit definitely gives me a few ideas. Also love the fact that he’s on all 3 iterations of Volume’s fixed gear frames in here (Cutter, Thrasher, Vandal). Don’t miss this one, Koichi is on another level and I don’t say that lightly.

KRAY OKA FUK TRIP 2022

The KRAY crew out of Shizuoka headed out to Fukuoka for a little domestic trip. Love this one especially case it shows off some of the lesser known riders in Japan rather than the ones we’re all well familiar with. Love that even if it’s not the highest level of riding, you can see that Japanese creativity shining. Watch this one!

Bootleg Sessions DVD’s Now Online

That’s right, ALL 4 of the legendary Bootleg Sessions DVDs are now online for your viewing pleasure. Take a step back in fixie history and watch some of the best riders of the era push the sport from 2007 to 2010.

I’m excited to keep uploading fixed gear history to the archive channel, but all I ask for in return is that you subscribe to the channel! If we hit over 1k subscribers, then chapters will be allowed onto the video which will make watching a lot better. Anyways, enjoy:

Also Burd, please don’t sue me for putting these online. Lol
