The kid in the camo trucker hat reminds me of a little Jerry Hsu. Almost the same style with the feet and legs. I just rewatched his bag of suck part the other day. I will never get over that switch flip over the rail into that small bank. Best switch flip ever done. It was a thing of beauty. But yeah, that kid has it.
Those Take Flight homies giving off big Chad Fernandez in Grind energy. EDIT: Also, your "What kind of board is that Issac?" is exactly what I've been asking myself the whole time I've been watching Tampa Am stuff. Lol
You know there's a good skater doing his thing when at the park nearly no other skaters are going in after 20 just went and everyone stays silent to just watch that 1 dude smash some tricks in
We went from mall grabbing posers to competition skaters having no style, lol 😂 Their style is competition skating. It’s like street fighting vs boxing? Both fighters but different styles, goals and, experiences. I love skating and you should too!❤👊🏽
A whole lot of dudes were biting Antwuan after his Baker part dropped and you could always tell that their styles were fake. Aimu doesn't appear to be in that boat.
Anyone who does willy grinds has dookie style. And calling them bennet grinds doesn't change a thing. Doing them nollie is a lot less of a lazy cop out, though.
Unpopular opinion on Aimu Yamazuki: I think the fact he has his arms glued to his body does not make it a "relaxed" good style. If anything it seems to me it's kind of forced. The positioning of your arms can make skating look stylish and flowy. Landing shit clean does not necessarily make it look good. Sometimes a little sketch is cool to watch (helps it look more natural) Also I would not take smiling all the time as stylish (even though is nice to see he's having fun) I can smile all day while skating and I still fucking suck. Style is subjective though. Maybe I am just an old motherfucker
Aimu Yamazuki.....i Love his style sooooo much.......and he is smiling all the time, which ist very rare. Massive goosebumps.
Yeah, he looks like he's just chilling and having fun.
I think he literally has the smoothest and dopest style of anyone right now.
Big Tom Penny vibes
Dude makes skating look so easy
remind me of akiro jimbo a drummer from japan, always smiles even in the most intense drum solo's lol maybe they related.
Aimu looks like he isn't even trying. I love his style and flip tricks looks so effortless. The dude is smiling his entire run.
Aimu has one of if not the best style I've ever seen! He's just a natural, the embodiment of steez.
He's like Penny mixed with Twuan
How do you even judge this? All of these kids are incredible.
Easy who was more confident in tricks and did more
I love your commentary Dan, don't ever stop.

Aimu's style and tricks stood above the rest for me too! Stoked you thought the same.
Bro, thanks for posting so much, always brightening up my days here in cloudy Connecticut!
Same for me, in CT too 🤙
So stoked to see Aimu at one of these things. His style is tailor made for modern media. Any one of his tricks is an awesome slo-mo loop.
Good to see the Jawbreaker tshirt make an appearance. Someone’s dad used to skate in the 90s and introduced his kids to good music.

So Isaac is not on Powell anymore Im guessing
@@reportedstolen3603 He left a month or so ago
@@reportedstolen3603 Came to the comments myself seeking more of the story 😂
I kinda wish Dan would say when someone isn't riding for powell anymore but I get its not his business to put out there
Yamazuki's style is the best, it looks so effortless.
really been enjoying this tampa coverage
you nailed it, GP had so much board control, he was fun to film cause he was so consistent, could risk the lens without question
Any raw tapes from back then for us please?
Love the commentary! Little girl in the pink shirt is a certified ripper! So many talented kids there!
Robots
Heelflip to backside 50-50 is difficult
Dan got me wanting to learn slappy noseslides on curbs. Thanks Dan

Aimu is the king. Taken media attention over
I only clicked on this video because aimu was on the thumbnail 🫡
It’s crazy some of these kids are already professional type level.. the abilities some of these kids have is absolutely ridiculous.
Isaac skating to Adolescents! Fuck yeah
Your commentary for skating is the equivalent to Joe Rogan and MMA in my books Dan. Keep up the good work and stay Rad.
12:19 that was so smooth
Aimu, in my opinion, has surpassed the likes of O'Neill and Ribeiro in terms of style. He is fucking mesmerising to watch.
Aimu Yamazuki is the only one who didn't do crazy-hard tricks. He did stylish 1 of 1 tricks.
I love that Dan spotted the Jawbreaker shirt!
A one on one jam seems so damn tense. I’d love to do this

13:41 Is This Good Style?
He should win tampa just on style alone
So good!!! Thanks for this!
Verry good man with eveytime smile good sunnshineman with style
The level of skating in this, is incredible. Am's???? 🤯
Are skate contests like violin recitals for little kids who take lessons??
The style 14:19
18:58 Looks indeed like the pressure flip underflip done in the game of skate between Shaun Hover and Sean Davis
It's insane where skateboarding is at..
that was a hell of a skate vid
For anyone wondering, dude with the godly calves is named Calvin Metcalf. He's a local at Calvary skatepark down in Albuquerque.
Nah that’s the boxer you’re thinking of 😂
Calfvin*
Yup Ive known Calvin for years. He only wears calfskin shoes and drinks caffeine free pepsi or decaffeinated coffee. Best friends.
juni and toa in the same heat is crazy lmao
All those new park kings together is real cool thing to watch
Homie shoes look like jet packs like they help boost or something lol
Yeah it is good
Style is subjective.
This isn't style at all. This shit is pure class and text book
12:20 kid actually gave him creds
who is the guy in the camo cap at 6:00? His style is so good. Super confident and steezy
It’s so funny to see how baggy everyone’s pants are now. Style really is cyclical.
those guys are insane!
12:37 Beavis, is that you?!
Dans Coverage is legendary
The Kid from the 90s came and he was looking for that Bullet 37 Special Wheels.
Been wondering where Isaac has been in the vids. Bummer
Sheesh 🖤
i can't trust this always smiling japenese robotic kid 😀!
Why is no one eating pickles with Grillo's as a sponsor? I wanna see five gallon buckets full of them.
13:22 for Thumbnail topic
Skateboarding Fight Club.
every style is good, as long as its not phoned in like the fake steeze a lot of the japanese kids had a few years back.
08:21 🤣
I think you meant Miss Cleo instead of Cleopatra lol 😂
BaRLEyGrInD!
and his fucking fit on fucking point
It's 2024, ANYTHING goes except jorts, not even once.
Anyone who does willy grinds has dookie style.
