“Street riding is a hassle—driving around, shoveling, talking to authorities and agitated passerbys, finding speed, identifying aesthetics. These factors tend to split the pursuit into two groups: meticulous and reckless. Stefi can’t be categorized by typical descriptors and probably wouldn’t even consider herself a street rider. On this day, she chauffeured the crew through Otaru while we searched for spots, shoveled and encouraged when we found ’em, tapped in for this trick, then deftly evaded police behind the wheel before delivering us all to the onsen to recharge.” Photo: Taylor Boyd
