liner notesabout the film

Kamakaze Tsunami: The Nihon Tapes is an adventure into the unknown: guerrilla whooping in Japan. It's the first footage of some of the country's most iconic, and craziest, spots being guerrilla whooped and freestyled, putting new spots on the map.

Guerrilla whooping (also spelled guerilla whoop or gorilla whoop) is an FPV art form, like skateboarding or graffiti: tinywhoops grinding rails, wall-riding buildings and threading gaps in spots that were never meant for it. Shot on analog FPV and handycam through Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, this is the beginning of guerrilla whoop culture in Japan.

The film is by pilots @kazifpv and @thatbanana, and it's released by Static Massive, an FPV lifestyle brand born out of guerrilla whooping. The film comes on a thumb drive with a printed zine of Kazi's photos, stickers and behind-the-scenes stories, designed by ThatBanana.
