Akira Takata

We were just bringing it up the other day whilst sharing "N.Y.C. 2019", the newest Strush Wheels edit: "COLLECTIVE IMPROVISATION" is the first full-length video by the brand, which came out in 2008 and had been available exclusively on DVD since. Well as a matter of fact, Japanese skate media platform VHS Mag just put it up on YouTube in the whole glory of its entirety - like a chapter that had been eluding the Western history books for too long a time despite featuring incredible parts from Shinpei Ueno, Lui Araki or Takahiro Morita amongst others, and all filmed between Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo - just like that. A mandatory viewing for sure - at least one of those crucial classes that if you skip it, then you'll for sure fail your tests!
