More rised up, back sweeped, and thickened grip.

This DVD is a film of new york alleycat race "MONSTER TRACK 8". Includes "Track Kaiju" featured Japanese messengers SINO and HAL, "Monster Track Race and Interview". SINO won 5th place in this race. (later, he got 1st prize in CMWC 2008)
This film has taste of art and underground feelings more than films like PEDAL. And also has quality music of DJ OBAH.
Chapter One is a how to movie of fixed gear bike produced by T-19.
Basically, I do not like this kind of howto and school of street culture because these things sometimes ruin the culture itself. You need learn it on the street by yourself.
Chapter One is a good film as a promotion movie of fixed bike, but it should be filmed without talk...
I had been looking for a hiphop song "Raise Hell" of M.O.P.(Mash Out Posse) that I heard only in the radio show "Hot97 Boogie and Barber (Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito)" and BadBoy official mix tape by Stretch Armstrong. (not a song in the album titled "Mash Out Posse")
After 13 years, I asked Stretch about this song when I devoted archives of "WKCR Strech Armstrong show" and "Hot97 show". And I got the answer directly from him, "i think raise hell was a song that never came out."...
But, later I searched for the song, I found it in the album "Legends:Vol.5" (released in the end of last year). I think this is probablly the song because it was noted as previously unreleased. I bought it online, so I will know in a week.
"Raise Hell" is one of the best hiphop songs in my music history.
Mochilla is a production of photographers Eric Coleman and B+ in LA. I asked them a promo copy of their new release "Jackson Conti - Sujinho" for the review page of COVER Magazine.
They sent me the full package of their releases including also Brasilintime DVD and NoseFlute.
Not only cover artworks but the taste like vinyl jacket are so nice.

The legendary night club in Tokyo, "Space Lab Yellow" closed after 16 years since its open.
My friend Koichi Nakamura (filmmaker/DJ) finished the filming last scenes of Yellow and editng it for the documentary film "YELLOW" now.
Details will be announced on the official web site.
I miss this great music place in Tokyo as a DJ who played there.
My track frame can't barspin with 700c front wheel.
I finally got Velocity DeepV 650c for barspin option.
I got Bootleg Sessions v.2 DVD today from Burd Phillips, film editor and a rider of Bootleg Sessions. The package included a Ride/Relax T-shirt.
And one more thing special for me, my track I devoted to the film was used in the credit part of main movie "The Sessions". You can see the name of "Mental Position" in the credit roll.
Thanks Burd !!
Macaframa is one of the most enthusiastic fixed bike team in the States.
I tried to buy Macaframa T-shirt on the store page of Macaframa site, but shipping to outside of US was not available because of payment system reason.
So, I contacted form the web site, then Colby Erick replied to me and sent the package after paying the money through PayPal.
I guess I am maybe the only one who got Macaframa T in Japan :D
Available on Macaframa store page.
