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.

84Kick – FIXIKA Georgy Porgy EDIT 2024

Not exactly Fixed Gear, but 84Kick just released this cool edit of Kai. If you don’t know Kai, he is a pioneer of the Fixed Freestyle movement in Japan and was featured in Bootleg Sessions 2. He’s riding a Blackmarket NSF freewheel mode in this video, but it’s still fun to watch him rip around on it and see an FGFS legend still having fun on bikes.

84kick Mid 2023 Recap

SICK mix from 84Kick recapping just the middle portion of the year. Featuring Baek Horang, YSO, and of course Satoshi aka 84Kick. Satoshi’s combinations and trick choices are all so unique to him and I don’t see anybody else doing it the way he does. The next closest person style wise is actually in this video, Baek. His Keo Curry style is so fluid and I can’t think of a better duo to be featured in a video. Those hard way footplants are my favorite, I’ll have to try that out soon. Don’t miss this!
