“Every upload is another country. Every trip is another story.”
About
It all started with one cheap action camera. Six friends, one beat-up van, and a promise to spend an entire summer exploring Japan—not through train stations or tourist attractions, but through skateparks, hidden alleys, riversides, mountain roads, abandoned schools, and city streets. Every week, they upload a new video. Sometimes it’s learning tricks. Sometimes it’s traveling to famous skateparks. Sometimes it’s just eating convenience store food at 2 a.m. after skating until they can’t stand. Their channel slowly grows from a few hundred subscribers… To hundreds of thousands. People don’t just watch for the skating. They watch because the six feel real. The arguments. The inside jokes. The failed tricks. The road trips. The sunsets. The memories. Every episode is different. 🛹 Rating Japan’s hidden skateparks. 🚲 BMX vs Skateboard vs Scooter challenges. 🍙 Living off convenience store food for 24 hours. 🌊 Skating to the beach before sunrise. 🏔️ Finding abandoned mountain roads. 🎆 Summer festivals. 🎥 Cinematic edits with music. 😂 Failing tricks over and over. 🎒 Camping beside lakes. 🏙️ Exploring Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Sapporo…

They aren’t professionals.
They aren’t influencers chasing sponsorships.
They’re just five friends who fell in love with riding.
A few years ago, they uploaded a simple skatepark vlog filmed on an old action camera. They expected a few hundred views.
Instead, people loved the chemistry between the group.
Now, Summer Asphalt has millions of subscribers. Their videos aren’t just about skateboarding—they’re about exploring the world through wheels.
One month they’re bombing hills in Japan.
The next they’re skating through Seoul’s parks, Barcelona’s famous street spots, Los Angeles’ beaches, Melbourne’s waterfront, or Copenhagen’s bike-friendly streets.
Every trip has the same goal:
Find the best places to ride. Meet local skaters. Make unforgettable memories.

No strict schedules.
Just backpacks, cameras, skate gear, and a one-way ticket.
