During SLS’ time in Tokyo they swung by Instant Skateshop to catch up with Akio Homma on why he opened up the shop, what he remembers about a young Yuto Horigome, and the future of Japanese Skateboarding.
ELEMENT X INSTANT SKATESHOP
This summer, Element proudly teamed up with Instant skateshop in Japan to create a limited-edition collab deck with graphics from local skater and artist DAIMON. On June 18th, the entire Instant crew, local skaters and Element team riders threw an event at the Soga skatepark in Chiba, Japan to install a new granite ledge that was built thanks to the money raised from this collaboration. Check all the clips from the event and learn more about the history and impact that Instant has on the Japanese skate scene.
