On his first day, of his first trip to Japan, Cheyne Horan introduces Christian Fletcher to Nisi.

Christian Fletcher第一次来到日本时，Cheyne Horan向他介绍了Nisi，他对Nisi的第一印象就是开着福特Falcon的Bruce Lee，他们一行人包括Mat Archabold，Dino Andino一起挤在车里去滑板，而这开始便是一辈子的友谊，Nisi从那时起也成为了Christian的偶像。
Nisi不仅仅因为他的滑板被人熟知，还因为他的丰富无比的创造力，尤其是他的摄影作品和艺术作品，他还创办过Cxyborg杂志，这里记录着滑板、冲浪、艺术、和朋克摇滚的各种点滴。

Christian来到日本为老友送别，他去了Nisi的老家Shikoku，他们在这里发现了一条废弃的船，便将Nisi的骨灰洒在船里和海里，之后这条船便谜一样消失了，而在葬礼后不久，太平洋的另一边，Jay Adam也与世界告别。
Christian Fletcher | 一路走好，Nisi
Nishioka ‘Devil Nisi’ Masanori was the first and only Japanese member of the Dog Town Z boys. Having spent years in the U.S, his sidekicks included Christian Hosoi, Jay Adams and the entire crew from the period.
Not only was Nisi respected for his skating, he was also renowned for his creative abilities. Well known for his photography and art, he also published the magazine Cxyborg, a photographic journal of skating, surfing, art and punk rock.
It was on this trip almost 27 years later that Christian would re-visit Japan only not to be able to hook up with his old friend. Nisi passed away on the 23rd of July, aged 62.
Christian came to Japan to bid farewell, traveling to Nisi’s original home town of Shikoku where they found an abandoned boat, from which they spread the last of his ashes in the sea. Ironically on the same day on the other side of the Pacific, Jay Adam’s paddle out was happening. After scattering the ashes the boat mysteriously disappears, as if he drifted off into the horizon, possibly to meet up with Jay half way, together grinding in the sky.
