Saint Genius + W-Base + FTC: FOR THE COUNTRY Featuring Nasty & Marco

After Japan was hit with the devastating earthquakes, tsunami and nuclear meltdown earlier this year, time’s have been tough for the people. This short documentary follows two talented Japanese fixed gear freestyle riders Teppei ‘Nasty’ Iwabuchi and Yuhei ‘Marco’ Hirose, on their first trip to San Francisco. Saint Genius shot the footage of the W-Base and FTC sponsored riders. Their skills on a fixie are very impressive, but what I found more moving was hearing their stories of how their positive attitudes and the Japanese pride in their culture has helped them overcome the natural disasters in Japan. I’ve got a lot of respect for these to dudes and wish them all the best in their future careers.
