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!

Wheel Talk – WE OUT HERE
We out here. Wheel Talk is back. Great things all around.
WHEEL TALK – BACK IN ACTION
TWO legends make a return to the big screen in this one: Matt Reyes AND Andy Sparks! The world is a better place when these two show face. It’s been a long year but we’re happy to have you guys back. Also in the mix is Matt Bastard, Snow O’Connell, and Australia’s own Max Corcoran. I personally credit Max for bringing Slum out of retirement. Quality content all around as expected!
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!
84 KICK LOS ANGELES TRIP
A lot of people say “my life a movie for real”, but Satoshi’s life is truly a movie. He stays traveling the world and documenting the best times with his bike. When Satoshi told me he was coming out for our competition, I was incredibly flattered that somebody would come all the way from Japan for an event I was throwing. Top that off with the fact that he’s a legend in the game and I’m basically fan-boying.
84 documented what feels like every moment of his whole trip. So many familiar faces, places, tricks, moments, and everything in between. This hour long movie is really worth sitting down taking the time to soak it all in. You get street riding, flat riding, competition coverage, and more. Satoshi really went above and beyond in the edit here with all the handmade graphics plus having to sort through hours and hours of footage to narrow this all down.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. Arigato!
