Nike SB’s Japanese squad just dropped GA/CHI, and it hits super hard from start to finish. Nike says it "blends old-school film aesthetics and a pulsing soundtrack with multi-disciplined progression and plenty of gnar," so if that doesn't at least kind of entice you, I don't know what to say. Take a look:

The edit features: Daisuke Ikeda, Ryo Motohashi, Taihou Tokura, and Keyaki Ike with cameos from the Japanese SB team peppered in throughout. All killer, no filler! Each one of these talented rippers really brings something special to the table here.

Bangers, bangers, bangers!

If you're a fan of dope spots—watch this. If you're a fan of the underdogs—watch this. If you're in the mood for some raw, no-nonsense street skating—watch this.

Seriously, though, this edit doesn’t waste a second. Whether you’re already familiar with the Nike SB Japan crew or not, GA/CHI serves as the perfect introduction to a squad of hungry, next-generation rippers.

What else can I say? It's everything you'd expect from ripping Nike SB riders... and then some. Super entertaining. Very tasteful. It'll make you wanna grab your board and hit the streets. Settle in and press play. This one's a banger!
