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!

Strush x Klasse Wrecks

When our favorite japanese skate wheel makers over at Strush Wheels (whose former productions, including the legendary "COLLECTIVE IMPROVISATION", can be browsed here) team up with Hong Kong-based record label Klasse Wrecks for the span of a collab and the accompanying web edit, what you get is this boiling hot potato of razor sharp-cut VX-1000 clips that are bound to kick you in the retinas, as well as put you in a trance that might technically be set to last for barely three minutes, but the energy of which will outlive said duration time all the way into your next sessions for sure.

Collective Improvisation

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!

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!
