Breaking up the SMC 100 posts for a sec to highlight Chris’ new(ish, late to posting this) Table for 1 section! We’ve now reached 10 of these and you can see a small progression in each one with a specific trick Chris seems to be working on. For this one he’s really starting to figure out 180’s out of his Trick Track combos. I’ve always said that once Chris gets comfortable with tricks that get off the ground its over for us all and it looks like he’s starting to figure it out… so watch out.

Samurai Trick Comp Vol.2 Scores
We’re announcing the official scores from the Samurai Trick Comp Vol.2. Judges: KOZO, ANDY SPARKS and BONJU.
A total of 14 competitors entered the comp, divided into PRO and AM divisions. Qualifiers and finals were originally planned, but rain just before the event led to the cancellation of the qualifiers, so only the finals were held. In the AM division, two competitors rode at the same time, while PRO competitors rode individually. Each competitor completed two 90-second runs. Each run was scored out of 60 points by three judges, and their scores were averaged to determine the run score. The higher of the two run scores counted as the competitor’s final score.

Visiting Keo Curry in 2010
I visited him in Seattle in October 2010. I thought I lost these photos on my old hard drive, but recently I found some of them. This trip is one of the greatest memories of my life because it was my first time visiting a local scene abroad and meeting local riders there. Looking back now, I realize that this trip truly became part of my roots.

CSK – Court Sentence Klips
COURT IS IN SESSION. New CSK jam from Jacob Ruff and Ruff associates for vertical viewing pleasure (I still enjoyed watching on desktop though). So many nifty shifty tight lines in here, Jacob has become an expert at this park.
Additionally, Jacob has released brand new CSK hats… making these the first CSK clothing product to drop in many many years!

SAMURAI TRICK COMP Vol.2
Me (84kick), Andy Sparks and Kozo are hosting a fixed gear trick competition, “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP,” in Tokyo! Maybe you think, “Why Andy Sparks?” Last month, I met Andy in Fukuoka and told him about this idea. He liked it and said, “I will come to Tokyo!” So I thought, OK, we have to do it! August in Japan is super hot, so we will start in the evening. Around 15 riders already entered. I’m really excited!
Last time, I decided to have no sponsors. But this time, Andy and I talked a lot, and we decided to have sponsors for the young riders. I asked my friends who always support us, and they said yes right away. I’m so happy! Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate it! Some riders from overseas will also join this time. August in Japan is fucking hot, but let’s have fun together!
See you there!

RUFF SLEEPER PROTO RAFFLE
So as you may or may not know, Ruff has been hard at work the last few years filming for an absolutely game changing full length. Last week though, all 5k worth of Matt’s camera gear was stolen from his van. So Ruff is throwing a fundraiser on a proto Sleeper frame to help raise some funds so he can buy all his gear back.
