      Ginwoo has ZERO style. every time he lands a trick and throws his hands up he looks right at his father, who probably beats him and tells him his family will lose their honor if they don't land tricks😅😅
      pathetic.
      those kids have no love of skating they only care Abt winning a contest
      Ginwoo had the WORST style at the X Games period.
      re watch it and try to argue that.
      😅😅😅😅 GINWOO, NO RICE FOR YOU, U STEAL OUR FAMILY HONOR! (SLAP, SLAP)😅😅😅😅
      thankfully real skate media like thrasher could give a shit less about little kids w no style landing tricks in a perfectly built park, but only cares about real skating, something those little kids will NEVER take over😅cuz they got no style.
      trust me, thrasher will make sure of that. real street skaters don't care about a contest, they care about getting the best shots on the toughest obstacles on the streets, WITH STYLE.

    I'd like to make a point at a more subjective interpretation on how 'out of the blue' there's so many great japanese skaters. And it is due to Yuto Horigome. See Brazil's case (I'm brazillian). People used to say: "What is in brazil water? How are they so good at skateboarding?" If you stop no think, there's no reason for brazillians been good at skateboarding. We did not invented the sport, we are so far away from the country where it is more popular (USA)... and yet... we are top 3 country. You know why? Because back them we had Bob Burnquist winning X Games over and over again in open TV, for every brazillian kid to watch. Thats the same for Japan. And for other countries... all they need is a big inspiration to boost the scene at the country.

      Eae blz?
      Só uma observação:
      Antes do Bob ser o maior medalhista do xgames , o ele foi o primeiro a ganhar uma etapa do circuito de vertical. Antes dele tivemos o grande Lincoln Ueda que foi o primeiro a ficar entre os 3 finalistas numa etapa Vert na Alemanha em 88/89 .
      Em outras palavras...
      Se hj o skate brasileiro é respeitado e sempre surge alguém fora da curva , é por causa desses caras da antiga.

      One random and weird thought/correlation about the USA, Brazil, and Japan seemingly dominating skateboarding....isn't it odd that baseball seems VERY similar? The Japanese league used to be viewed as maybe equivalent to AAA minor leagues in the USA, but nowadays the level is much closer to MLB according to a lot of fans. And more and more Japanese stars are moving to the MLB. And there are many south and central Americans dominating on the MLB stage too, just like the Street League Skateboarding events have progressed over recent years.

Skateboarding allows pretty much any age to go pro or skate in pro contests as long as they wear a helmet and make the cut. So, with that said it makes sense for jpn to raise their kids very young. Once they go pro the money and sponsorships start flowing in.

    Nyjah is to skateboarding what Tom Brady was to American Football. He dominated so hard for so long that he heavily skews all of the stats.
    It's also so hard to analyze something like skateboarding where you can develop at your own pace from any age. You can't exactly practice football at age 3 o 4 and you can't be better than most adults by age 10-12 like in skating(Nyjah, Ginwoo, Sheckler, etc).
    It's also weird to realize that competitive skating is now no different than baseball imo. You need to live in a place with a great skate scene and have places to ride nearby. America is so big and the population so spread out outside of major metros, that most people do not grow up with great skating spots. Not sure how that compares to Japan. Nowadays, skaters have coaches and regimented diets and exercising, whereas back in the day, it was just skate rats drinking booze to make wizard sticks to swing around on a lit up halfpipe lmao. Crazy to see the changes and progression.

    I really like your coverage of various competitions and other content, but my dumb animal brain can't keep up with a lot of the info being presented on-screen. So I feel emboldened to leave some feedback this time. . .
    - I'd like to see graphics that are easier to comprehend at a glance, such as colorful bar charts and pie graphs (which you use sometimes) rather than spreadsheets
    - The spread sheets can be very hard to read, especially when the screen shot is stretched out, scrolling/zooming, and given little space next to the skateboarding
    - Like someone else already mentioned, giving more spotlight to the data itself would be rad
    - You have a wonderful narration voice, but at times it feels like you're rifling off info at a constant speed. I wish the pacing was better by breaking up some of the info into easily digestable sections with sub headers or something.
    I've always felt this channel has a lot of potential and I'm generally excited when you decide to cover a recent event.

    Ye I think when USA gets competitive re skating it will dominate again. Skating is so much more creative and style oriented in the states than raw athleticism. People geek out over how a skater does a kick flip more than the complexity of a skaters skating. Generalising I know. Imagine if all those amazing US skaters focussed on athleticism over style. I get more inspired by a Tom penny frontside flip than a super complex flip in, flip out trick. Just saying. Tom Penny was English but you get the point haha

    Why is there no 18 and up/18 and down divisions? Or even 16 and up? I just don’t think seeing a child, even a really talented one, skate should be measured the same. Like Ginwoo has ability, but doesn’t have any style yet and he has to tense his whole body or pause and wind up for a big trick. But then again, Momiji is probably 12 or something and has the best style in the women’s division.

      @@bodymechanics9211 ideally. But I think the younger the kid, the more of a pass they get for things like not having style, or pausing on the coping, or huge ugly wind ups. Even hard tricks need to be judged on the finesse they are executed with. That could be allowed for if they had their own division, instead giving the same score to a beautifully executed trick, vs one that was just eeked out

      dude Ginwoo is so tense because he knows if he misses tricks, he's gonna have to eat only rice for a month straight, lose his phone, get beaten and have to deal with the embarrassment his father puts on him that he destroyed his whole families honor😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
      and I can assure you it's only gonna get worse as he gets older.
      his style is the worst I maybe have ever seen, for SURE worst style x games has ever seen.
      the kid can't skate switch at all every time he lands Fakie he pivots back to regular w the quickness.
      so someone SUPER stuff n tense who looks like a mater from 91 the way he lands everything, can't skate switch, and they're saying he had the best run at x games....
      who paid who to make that happen dude, c'mon now.

      I understand why people say that, I’ve never seen anyone change that much. Any great artist learns to be great from critique. Time will tell. If your old enough to skate like that, your old enough to have better style as well. Now is the time to learn, not later once set in your ways.

      @@lronhubbard8580 I don’t believe style comes naturally. Jagger, Woo, Nyjah, even Mullen compared against Yuto is interesting. Nyjah actually worked stuff out from people saying he was too robotic at 16. Jagger was probably “coached.” Yuto had a childhood skate buddy. Makes me wonder about these things. Woo is so different, friendship probably doesn’t come easy.

    japan wont ever surpass a certain level because it is inspired by american skateboarding, the style the clothes, none of it is original its all american copied. at Ginwoos age, Nyjah was doing bigger and more things and i believe nyjah still holds record for earliest x games win. as well as another 11 year old kid.
    also japanese skaters have no originality or soul to their skating , its just very technical, they come and go as fast as they improve. yuto is good at comps but still doesnt hold a candle to Nyjahs street parts

    Its weird how everyone chooses to ignore that it took literally the entire rest of the world, including America, damn near 20 years to even just catch up to Nyjah, because its not like he never wins now, he just doesnt win 5 times in a row now. And thats ignoring all the times he was robbed of the win cause he was a little kid before his domination began (chris cole winning maloof, with like almost half as many tricks, and literally 1 flip grind that left his feet - i was all about Cole, but Nyjah got screwed for years). Has double digits x games golds, god knows how many sls golds, ignoring all the others medals that werent 1st, all while basically raising the bar of gnar skating every time he drops a part, which are all like 10+ min of real footage every time, not these corball 2-3 minute parts. No wonder yall hate him. In the meantime, we got hoefler with 1 part ever, Jagger with 1 part ever, Ginwoo with 0 parts after Nyjah had like 8 by his age, hell at least Yuto's dropping parts not complete slacking in the streets, while still dropping these average 3 minute parts.
