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.
84Kick 2022 Recap
Trick Track legend 84kick threw together this sweet recap of some of his favorite clips and moments from this year! Great riding put together nicely with some cameos from familiar faces. Check it out!
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
A Documentary Jam Session Tokyo 2022
Really cool little day coverage from a day in Tokyo with some fixed gear legends! (Nasty, 84, forkone, and more)
84KICK // SPARKLE FULL FPV EDIT 2022
84Kick (Trick Track legend) just dropped this sick FPV edit. Great tricks, nice track, and very exciting camera work. Little jarring at times but definitely a fun watch!
Nasty – Aziro Sanpo
Chiller from Teppei and his BMX homie. Trick at the :38 mark is NUTS.
More Fukuoka Loco Coverage
Another edit emerged from the recent Fukuoka Loco Japanese competition! This one is more straight to the point showing off all the tricks. Loving all the styles in this!
Fukuoka Loco Coverage
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a contest out of Japan (or anywhere for that matter), but YSO put on the “Fukuoka Loco” competition this past weekend and it looked like a bunch of fun. It’s really great to see the Japan scene in full effect. They house some of my favorite riders and really bring a unique style to FGFS, so this really puts a smile on my face and great to see some dudes out there that I haven’t seen ride in a while.
The format on this is interesting. For one: they combined trick track and FGFS. Not sure how I feel about that since the styles are hard to compare, but still cool to see everyone together. The bracket style play is interesting too. That format hasn’t really been adopted in the states, maybe it could be cool to implement?
RSK ended up taking the win on this one with Takashi taking 2nd place. Some solid riding all around though. I got word that they’re doing another competition in Osaka next. Maybe see you there?
