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 Departure Edit 2024

WOW. Satoshi has been pumping the content out lately. Forkone aka Koichi Higo is truly a one of a kind rider. There is NOBODY doing it like him on a Fixed Gear bike. Trick at 2:52 really had my jaw dropped.

Alongside this amazing riding, Satoshi has really been stepping up his production game and really came through hard in this edit. Thoughtful filming and attention to detail all throughout this, I was really impressed. Worth multiple watches!

84 Kick Courttek Bike Check

Satoshi gives us the rundown on his lovely old school style Master Courttek build! He has a lot of nice and thoughtful words to say in the second half of the video, which I actually enjoyed even more than the bike rundown.

Ed Wonka 2016 Interview by Tom Mosher

What a gem and perfect timing with our recent Mike Schmitt Off Track episode. Tom Mosher, founding father of our sport, recently hit me up telling me he had an unreleased Ed Wonka interview he conducted from 2016. He dropped it on his Youtube channel and although the audio isn’t the greatest, you really get some insightful looks into Ed’s personality, thought process, and history. Tom is a great interviewer and I wish he went through with what he called “Trick Track Radio” cause Tom is a perfect person to talk to about Fixed Gear history. Maybe we’ll get him on the pod soon?

Forkone Bike Check

Been loving these bike checks from Satoshi. In this one we get a look into the elusive Forkone’s Volume Cutter V5 build! Thanks to Satoshi, he put english subtitles on them so we can understand what he’s saying. Many thanks for that.
