At night in the country of the rising sun

TIGHTBOOTH and musician KILLER-BONG just delivered a little gem. A video featuring the Japanese skateboarding in all its glory through Koichiro Uehara and his crew. The spots are exploited to the fullest of their potential, every ingredient is present - from creativity to technique, all infused of the very subtle scent of craziness that usually makes this scene so particular.

G-JAP Unit!

Well, the week could not start better… If this Tightbooth edit does not make you want to cross the ocean in order to be able to stand aside them arguing with cops from over there while being clad in baggy camo, you are not really alive anymore…

Night fever

Let's say it: Prize Fighter Cutlery has had one hell of a busy stay in Japan, recently, to the point of managing to team up with the mysterious Toriotoko! The result is a Tokyo night montage, as you would expect, but that includes perilous NBD's such as the "lipslide gorilla out"… Unless you have a better name for it?

Tokyo postcard!

Super 8 mixed with HD, experimental soundtrack: one could think this is a list of clichés to avoid, but the final result will surprise you and sweep you, whatever your tastes might be… Why? Simply because, on top of the skating documented, you will get that special feeling of discovering a new city in between the long push around, the non-spots skated just because they are there, and you are there, and the laughers with friends, just because they are there with you, even if you actually meet for the first time an hour ago.
