Hagiwara San from FATBROS skateshop in Nakano and his wife Chiemi came to France for the first time to spend their honeymoon!
It’s been great to have Nakano godfather in town!
Also, we are all going back to Japan this Tuesday for the premiere of SOLEIL LEVANT, our new full length video that focuses on the connection between FRANCE and JAPAN! COME SEE THE MOVIE AND PARTY WITH US!
When Australian filmer Josh Roberts sent me his DVD Domingo a year ago, I was feeling the vibes and instantly wanted to go skate with his crew in the streets of Perth, “the most isolated city in the world” if you want to believe so…
It’s already two weeks in Western Australia working with him on a new MAGENTA video project and things have been really good! An awesome good looking city with some very nice fellows. Check out a few analog shots from our great host James Whineray, then visit his website for more of his excellent photo work: www.jameswhineray.com/news
We landed and relaxed at James’s house in Fremantle, a beach town next to Perth. Traveller extraordinaire Liu joined the crew the first day!

All about the aesthetic of the spot. “VIBE FIRST”!
Thanks to everyone in Perth for skating with us and showing us a good time. Always stoked to travel, connect with underground crews and use the MAGENTA spectrum to make it happen and bring it to light.
PANIC IN GOTHAM is now online! We spent 11 days filming in the streets of NYC and had a blast. Thanks to the Old 90′s skateboard videos and hip hop for the inspiration:
