Trio

"TRIO" is the latest surprise edit released by Strush Wheels (the Japan-based, quality urethane and audiovisual production provider LIVE has been focusing on for years). As per usual, one can count on Ryuichi Tanaka's handling of the direction, and on his longtime, signature style comprising meticulous editing and stellar soundtracks; on the sessions, he was assisted by Kyota Kamei and as far as the eventual product goes, we're talking representing three skateboarders all renowned for their pairing up of efficiency with fine taste: Issei Kumatani, Shogo Zama (you can still watch his latest video part for Magenta, here) and Shinya Nohara, for exactly as long as five minutes on the clock!

The sun will rise over the nether…

Our collega at Pop are now making wooden toys, and are doing it right, off course! They even just recruited a Japanese rider! But don't be confused, whenever he is finally allowed to travel from Osaka to Amsterdam, he won't feel lost in streets of paving blocks…

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.

Jap' funk!

At Strush, they know how to pick them "jazzy", but this time up the tempo a notch, and you are in to witness one hell of a jam session! With Master Shinpei as a soloist, nonetheless!
