SMC 8 NIGHT SESH

No riding pics here, but I wanted to capture who was at one of our massive sessions during SMC 8 week. So many folk in one place! Meant to use the last pic as promo but was too occupied with organizing… maybe for this year.

MUST WATCH – FBZ408 – Goonz On Deck 4

Them boys outdid themselves with this one! Absolute heat coming from the FBZ in norcal featuring so many names (Antonio, Boothby, MTS, and more). The main stars of this though are the 3 core dudes: PVN, Kam, and Watcha. PVN comes through with really solid tricks and has those feeble 3’s absolutely dialed. I feel like he could take his bag of tricks and apply them to any obstacle no matter how scary. Kam always keeps me guessing with the tricks he’s gonna do and he’s just so damn stylish. Then finally we got Watcha who comes through with some super high level tricks. He’s back to fighting form and I’m so glad to see it.

The question remains though, WHO IS FBZ408 ADMIN?

SAMURAI TRICK COMP

84kick is hosting The fixed gear trick competition called “THE SAMURAI TRICK COMP” in Tokyo, Japan. Around 10 riders are already in. Over the past few years, I’ve been attending competitions overseas, but it’s been a long time since I could watch Japanese riders closely, so I’m really looking forward to this.

This time, I wanted to keep it as pure as possible, like 100% rider’s DIY pure, so there will be no sponsorship from brands, manufacturers, or shops. The location will be kept secret and shared only with registered riders. I’ve received some inquiries from overseas riders, but this time the event will be for domestic riders only. If everything goes well, I’d like to open it up to international riders in the future.

Alright everyone, see you on March 7th.
