Meet Japan's Freestyle Skateboarding World Champion | Isamu Yamamoto 

i could watch a whole hour of him doing this

This kid is the Rodney Mullen for his generation. That's some impressive flatland!

This kid is insane!!!! That rail flip 180 to primo was bonkers!!

I have never seen such technical skating since Rodney Mullen and Daewong Song! Both of you are fkn rad! Makes me want to skate again. So dope!

I’ve been watching this kid since he was LITTLE LITTLE! Crazy how he stills got the handstands ON LOCK. Isuma should be world famous. 👌🏼

Man, I had a permanent smile the whole video just because how excited you were during the whole thing genuinely. Really look like you had a good time. Pure madness how that young man shreds.

Rodney Mullen must be so proud. It also kind of looks like he learned a lot of tricks directly from the Tony Hawk games. And most importantly HE'S HAVING FUN! He's not being arrogant or trying to be cool. He's just chill and having fun, which inspires those around him to do the same. I love it.

Isamu is fantastic,. my mind is officially blown.,. You guys are AMAZING 🦅🫰👉👈

This kid is inhuman levels of cool.

7:18 "how did he go that way" LOL

It's amazing watching skating evolve, ever still. When Rodney vs Daewon Round 1 came out, Rodney blew everyone away. He was hands down the best technical skater. Just around 20 years later, and this kid has unarguably exceeded Mullen's ability at least in flatground tricks, perhaps not in all around skill, for now I wonder now if THIS kid is paving the way for another phenom in another 20 years.

i can't even stand on a skateboard without falling off I can't even put words to what he does WOW

I have cramps in my jaw after dropping it for 10 minutes straight 😱

Haha, Isamu is a God, but I love your reactions, Jason

His crativity is crazy. I watch a lot of freestyle but his style and consistency. And gis flow is insane. Truly amazing. I feel just like the camera man continuously completly stunned.

could not stop smiling while watching - wow

This guy skates as if the board is a legit part of is body , he skates better than most people walk , and makes it look SO EASY when some of this is so impressive I don't have words

Looking forward to all the Japan videos Never seen anyone do a primo slide on a mini ramp before

My two favorite skaters in the same video! Let's go!

This guy is amazing and you can tell he practices like Rodney mullen used to smh. What a talent and the guy fanboying out is an amazing talent as well(yes you Mr. Potato 🥔 😂👏)this was awesome and I am so glad you got to hang out and also show this to us Jason 😎👌

this dude's balance is a superpower

I'm picking my jaw off the ground. 😲 That was hard to believe. I want to know how he practices.

Kudos to Japan for constantly producing top talent all over the place. Had a once in a generation male gymnast, absolutely dominant female olympic wrestler, Shohei Ohtani whose no doubt in anyone's mind the greatest thing to happen to baseball since Babe Ruth (Arguably better than the Babe), and obviously this kid.

Still so underrated!! Awesome video guys 🔥

Amazing vid, love u both ! Thanks for inspiring us !

the control he had is incredibly fxking awesome, the entire of video is just me jaw dropping, he's so awesome man damn

dude i love the THPS sound effects you put in! and the little finger to finger zaps

This is blowing my mind. I thought the trick was over and then he does something even more crazy!

he is the one of the best young skater nowadays......in his age he is still a long way to go...the next rodney mullen..

bro what! That skill is insane, huge respect and huge props to Isamu!

Amazing yo.. what a mad kid.. the Japanese street skaters and freestylers are killing it

That 720 gazelle combo was bonkers! No setup time in between. That takes incredible consistency

Best vibes, best tricks, best creativity

Wow this is just mind-blowing, and at each trick, I found myself involuntarily uttering, "NO WAY, THAT'S INSANE!". Unbelievable talent - this is high art, in my opinion, BRAVO ISAMU! 👏. And he's so humble and nice too. No arrogance. I've subscribed to his Insta and RU-vid. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece 😊. Btw I also subbed to your channel, Jason, after seeing your cool tricks (you're quite good and impressive too. Those were creative tricks you did! You weren't just an interviewer). You also seem like a really nice dude with a good sense of humour. Cheers ✌️

Most mind blowing thing: it was harder to translate the names of the tricks from Japanese to English than for him to perform the trick

So incredible and so consistent and so humble amazing

I've seen Isamu in the past, and I am familiar with his insane tricks but he still made my jaw drop!! Who the hell would do a primoslide on a mini?? Absolute joy to watch, thank you for the share 'Ma'name Jason'

i had to sub just for him filming and posting this absolute all time banger!

so used to Jason being the one doing all the crazy stuff that people stare at in awe. was cool to see him staring jaw dropped at someone else doing the crazy stuff. i'm sure Isamu got some ideas from Jason as well!

That dude is on another level

His hand and eye coordination is insane, cheat code pro skater 2 vibes. Like watching a video game, makes it look effortless, thousands of hours to get to that level, so sick

My brain just kept melting, this was crazy to watch!! Insane!!! So so good

This actually is mind-blowing 🔥🔥🔥

THIS IS THE MOST ENTERTAINING THING IVE SEEN IN SO LONG didnt realize caps was on and not retyping that

Insane skills, so much talent and dedication, found him a few years ago searching for free-skating tutorials, but nope - nevermind...not a chance in hell to do his tricks - just mad! Best freestyle AND free-skater skates - legend in the making - thanks for the vid, was he on Jonny's Channel already? Lets go! Jonny & Andy A vs Jason & Isamu when?

So incredible. Gifted lad!

Getting to live the dream!! Go Jason go!!!!

That pop-shuvit late flip thing at about 1:28 was amazing & a thing of beauty 😮 ironically it’s probably one of his easier tricks. Also, he seems like a really nice, friendly & humble person. Top quality all round 👍

freeskate and the skateboard combo! impressive

This dude is the next big thing. Calling it now. I’m amazed.

Wow, that was really impressive!

Jason cannot help but make the pleasure noises when he sees the good skate

Some of his new stuff is so creative.

Loved him. And you represented Jas.

isamu is a beast i love seeing his clips

He just might be the best...i want to see him skate other stuff! Hes definitely rad at everything

Oh that’s at Komazawa skatepark, I used to skate there for years when living in Tokyo! Miss that place so much…❤

This was dope ash

Isamu is a prodigy. The practice and dedication are the keys.

Wtf! Seriously my jaw dropped watching this, Isamu Yamamoto is amazing.

bahaha that thps special move sound effect got me so good

Definitely gonna try some of those myself.

Terrific, man.

what a pleasure to watch

He is so smooth!

amazing!

Just crazy everything you can do with a board that was awesome

Whaaaaaaaaaa 👀 never seen anyone this smooth He’s ice skating!! How can he be that graceful Literally never seen anything like this

Unreal! So sick!

I love Isamu, he's really incredibly good ! on a skate and on free skates too :)

That was awesome

whether it is freestyle bmx or freestyle skateboarding itll always blow my mind 🤯🤯

My mind _melted_ *SO GOOD*

I love seeing new tricks

To which crazy place have you traveled to, jason? Your videos have often amazed me and this one seems like from another planet :O not one or two mindblowing tricks but the whole video stacked with insane and unimaginable tricks by isamu, truly amazing!

Handstand pivoting is something we just cant even picture how hard it is

very much love to all of you

That’s really cool maybe one day I will learn this ✌🏼

What a beast!

Kinda hard to skate next to this kid haha, but you also had some really nice tricks. The under flip and dark stall were sick on the mini ramp.

Rodney Mullen will forever be the King of Street Skateboarding, not saying this kid doesn't have the skills cos he definitely does and he is the Rodney Mullen of this generation, but Rodney was doing these tricks over 30 years ago, so the creativity and innovation go's to him.

Fantastic

That was so good

10 minutes of high quality content

Isamu flip fuckin dislocated my jaw straight underground. HOLY FUCKIN SHIT WHAT

Sick man

Amazing!

AMAZING!!

ripper! has me seriously reconsidering my notion of what a god is.

The coordination is unreal. Inhuman

Amazing

Calling it now, greatest skater of all time! Isamu

That was unreal!

i remember finding out about this kid when he was like 7 or 8 I knew he would be even more amazing once he developed strength later in life. glad i was right, i vaguely remember crying watching a video of him meeting rodney mullen

So crazy!

That moment when cameraman says “wait how did he go that way” was the moment Isamu confirmed he’s literally a magician

The special trick sound from the TH games were fun but given. Then boom solar beam lmao

I don't watch skateboarding, but this was in my recommended. I think its pretty awesome.

Well done, Isamu !

Legendary.
