      I agree, I was impressed. It's super respectful too. If you're going to go to another country I feel like you should at least try to learn a little of the language. Jonny did a great job. I'm currently learning Japanese on my own and I really appreciated the hiragana subtitles when they were doing the interview.

She ended up putting down the board for a while. Lately I've been using my deck any moment I can. On our way from the school bus stop today I asked if she wanted to get on and I would help guide her. She got on, I held her hand, and a bright smile brightened her face. Just a casual stroll.

    Japan is absolutely a bucket list place to visit for me. And let me tell ya, it's _preeeeetty_ high up on that list! Everything from the people, food, cities, wildlife, and the way of life in general over there is so intriguing and downright serene.
    I grew up as a city boy, but I think have this desire to be a mixture of the country & city mouse. There's advantages to enjoying the city lifestyle, but nothing will ever beat the magnificence of mother nature. Japan, like a handful of other countries in this world, does a spectacular job of maintaining a great balance between them both.

      Go, it's incredibly accessible. Hotels and food at local spots is super affordable. Stay in Yokohama tho, way more affordable and chill than tokyo and like 15 to 20 minutes on the train to anywhere in Tokyo. Airfare is the worst part, but obsess about checking travel sites and you'll find a deal.

      Japan has a law regarding recording video of people in public where it's one thing to have the people in the shot that have agreed to it, but if you have others in it that you don't have permission from you can be fined for it if it shows their face in it.

    HE IS AMAZING 4 SURE. YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE SKATER JOHNNY. I AM GLAD YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SKATE WITH SUCH A PROLIFIC SKATER.

    Incredible skating from Masahiro (and Jonny); love the creativity.
    Can we start a petition to get @RodneyMullen on the Jonny Giger show? Invite Masahiro too

    His skating looks super Rodney Mullen, even how he just skates around and has fun. Absolutely not clickbait
