Before Winterclash 2025, Soichiro Kanashima messaged me, that he’d be staying in Amsterdam for a few days after the event, and if I knew where some spots were which he and his friends wanted to skate. I hooked them up with a list of spots, and told him that I had one day off that week to take them to those spots and get some clips. It’s always good times with Soichiro, but had never yet filmed him myself, which you can imagine was something I wouldn’t mind doing. Even though it was extremely cold at minus 2 degrees Celsius, Soichiro, Shiono, Jun and Chihiro handled the spots like champs! (4 X Winterclash Champ lol). Remy Cadier.

Chihiro Azuma - Them Skates, Pro Skates
Them Skates is proud to announce the release of Japanese legend Chihiro Azuma’s first pro skate. Chihiro has always been known for her signature style while always pushing the boundaries of technical street skating.
Chihiro has traveled all over the world winning all the major world class contests. This pro skate is a long time coming. Very much deserved.
