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.

84 Kick Courttek Bike Check
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.
FORKONE Mellow Mellow Right On EDIT 2024
After a quiet year, Forkone is BACK with some mind melting heaters! He’s truly got some of the most unique riding and nobody can even come close to his style. Satoshi captured this real clean too, some great camera work going on. Also, thanks for the shoutout and sticker placement, hell yeah. Don’t skip this!
84Kick – YSO Interview
Satoshi sat down with Japan Fixed Gear veteran YSO to talk about their latest Fukuoka video. Great breakdown, analysis, and dynamic!
84Kick – FUKUOKA SO FAR TO GO EDIT 2024
LOVE this one! Satoshi made his way out to Fukuoka to ride with some lesser known faces in the Japanese scene. Style oozing throughout this one and it looks like Satoshi got a new camera cause this looks extra crispy.
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.
Satoshi Hashimoto – Bike Check
While Satoshi was in town for SMC 6 I pulled him aside to snag some photos of him and his Courttek. Although the setup may be a bit dated for some, it was an honor to meet him him and ride his bike. It’s set up almost exactly the way I prefer my Trick Track bikes. I have a bunch of other people’s bikes to post up from this same setup, so lookout for some more bike checks. For now, check out Satoshi’s full setup and rundown after the jump!
84kick Late 2023 Recap
Satoshi’s riding is truly soothing to watch. Buttery smooth, technical, and reminiscent of the beloved Keo Curry. Here is a recap of his 2023 year, so many good tricks in here!
FPA @ SMC Trick Track Competition 2023
More footage from our comps keeps slowly trickling out and I’m not mad about it. I love seeing other people’s perspectives of our events so this was a treat for me to watch. Harvey with FPA killed this one!
