84Kick – Samurai Trick Comp Group Photo and Results


March 7th 2026, The first Samurai Trick Comp has successfully come to an end. Even though the location was kept secret, more than 10 riders from across Japan came out to join. There were many riders I had never met before, and it gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation. We filmed the event, so I’ll edit the footage and share it with everyone soon. For now, I’m sending the group photo and results.

Thank you so much to everyone who came. Thanks to everyone’s support and good vibes, it became a truly great event. The next one is planned for August. See you soon. Arigato

Kai Nashimoto aka Fixika

Kai aka FIXIKA is truly a pioneer of fixed gear tricks in the Japanese scene. I remember that he organized a weblog back around 2007–2009, where he wrote about how to do fixed gear tricks. When I was around 24 or 25, I read and read and read his blog almost every day to learn trick tips. I’m really glad he’s still here and still riding like this. We still shoot together a few times a year.
