There is a nice skate park in Osaka under a freeway if you like transitions. The street section is OK (tho I haven't been there in over 10 years so it might have changed). Sorry I forget the name 🤔

As a non-skater, the slowmo clips are incredible. It looks amazing/crazy in regular speed too but when it's slowed down and I can see what they are actually doing by manipulating the board with their feet with godlike precision it becomes mind blowing. Skating's future is in good hands.

It gives me chills to think of how proud Rodney must be for paving the way for all these awesome new variants of tricks that even he couldn’t have imagined.
I really appreciate Jonny's enthusiasm for these young skaters. His constant praising may be what they need after their rigorous daily training. I know most Asian cultures hold their own to a high standard which is why we see, truly, how great they can be at whatever profession they undertake. Kudos to these 3!

Watching you and Isamu both not being very good at the opposing language but helping eachother out with how to say or pronounce things and using a translating app too was so genuine and heartwarming, just good people trying their best and having a laugh.
Yuzuki Kawasaki is disgustingly smooth! These kids are a clear example of how the amazing Japanese people are the best at finding the things that their children gravitate towards naturally and nurturing the ones that they excel at. Some of the kids in this video could skate street along some of our greats here in the states in my opinion. Awesome video Jonny! Though everything has to come from somewhere, many cultures/lifestyles are truly borderless and are naturally loved and/or perfected by people of any nation, ultimately revealing that we're all the same thing with minor differences. This video was an excellent example of that! Thanks for making it!
This might be the most impressive skateboarding skill display recorded in history. Mullen was always different. But in this one video, we can see MULTIPLE kids with more potential than most anyone ever recorded except a handful of people.. but they're still kids!!! The future of skateboarding is bright with talents like those young folks 👌🤟 Amazing video!

@@MikeyAce45 ok so physics is inarguable. Nobody will be traveling past the speed of light, transmuting materials, or breaking gravity. You’re right about a generalization, so I should add context. While sheer physics is limiting, physicality in the athletic sense isn’t. Recall before the 1940’s there was no physical possibility of a one minute mile till there was. Point being, will power, physical prowess, and mad coordination have a lot to say about the achievable, physics aside. Learning from what we see defines the next impossible thing. It’s the core of innovation and these kids have a whole life to innovate. But maybe their just parrots with no ideas and they just keep doing what’s done, time will tell.

this video is awesome man i love it!!! crazy tricks wonderful people
I've been thinking about this video for months since I first watched it. So so so good
Late 90s I was just kid at my local skate park in Seattle, WA. This old head that had to be in his 40s at the time would come in full gear and throw it down old school pimp tight freestyle. The whole park would stop just to watch him strut his stuff. Really cool to see a lost art coming back with vengeance. I couldn’t disagree more that this isn’t real skating, it’s even more challenging and technical using every aspect of your complete deck. My favorite was the pogo, to a handstand pogo, to a handstand manual. Dude was a beast on his hands or feet 😅
Those kids are amazing, what talent and skill!
Made me smile the whole way thru. Awesome
Just love their styles
