Skateboard Vert Best Trick: FULL COMPETITION | X Games Japan 2023 

just wait till he hits his prime

​@@glyndonsprofessionaldetail7429 yup

First time i saw this lil fella, i thought the exact same thing! He gonna be big one day!

He was robbed... 5x 900's and got 7th

Never heard of him

It's more than inspiration... it is GOAT stuff.

His son is way better than he ever was. But yeah, he's still okay

Riley is good but tony is a legend.

Antoine Evenson is the best

he's only 50 and a half

Cos it's scary 😆

I like skateboard park better or snowboard pipe better..

Big air is the best

@@judderzm2252 Exactly lol! It doesnt get nearly the love as street and its suuuuper scary and dangerous.

I did both street & vert skating. Personally i felt like both are just awesome. It's the stokeness that gets to you each time. People supporting eachother and doing the most crazy stuff of the moment. Something to live for.

The skate is folks

Just visit your local skatepark and your mind will be changed.

I can't find the video but I'm sure he invented the trick over 30 years ago. Likewise with the Kickflip McTwist, Stalefish McTwist, alley oop-cab lipslide, ollie 360 nosegrind revert, and so on, tricks seen in best trick and the vert contest today. He didn't invent the heelflip 720, though ... :D

Encyclopedia Tonanica

Agree

For adults and teenagers who are tall almost impossible. Danny Way explained it once. It was easier for him to do spins when he was a kid compared to being an adult.

Just real quick, Mitchie got the best score for his 1260, that year the total Big Air score was the score of your trick over the flat+your QP trick -- Mitchie did a stock-standard 180 over the flat to give himself the best chance of hitting the 1260. Good for the fans, bad for Mitchie's chances of winning the event.

you're missing his point, since it was an NBD he should've won either way, it feels wrong otherwise@@krolik1157

He never retired.

@@r0binIsntAmish1669 He retired from competition

Would have been better if he didn't just come back from a broken femur.

Yeah I'm also confused on that one!

Do you see a lot of grown skaters do 900s?! Nope because they will tell you it is almost impossible to do 900s once you are fully grown. Danny Way already spoke on it.

Because he didn't do a 540 kickflip. He did a Heelflip cab 720, or a "720 from fakie with a Heelflip". It's a much more technical trick, you're not just holding onto the board and praying you have to do the flip catch it and pull it back all whilst spinning. Also like people have said Danny way has spoken it's easier to spin higher rotations when you're younger.

@@thomaspickin9376 I'm talking about Moto's trick. The one that got silver.

@thomaspickin9376 Well, yeah, and there are many other things that are easier to do when you're a grown-up, like getting more air, for example. And some people find spinning frontside way easier, too. Tricks should be judged objectively, without taking into account how short, tall, old, or young the rider is.

Backside ollie varial, aka backside shove it.

@@noah122804thank you for doing the job of the commentators 😁😆

Gary Rodgers is a moron, he is objectively bad at commentating.

uhm...Tony started last, so there is no next guy after him...shows your deficit in attention

No. That is the pure Kickflip McTwist, with a mute grab, invented by Tony Hawk in 1995. Probably one of the hardest tricks ever done. Most skaters does it with some kind of varial. Catching it mute after a full flip while spinning in the air is a bit harder, since very few have done it ... And also, you might be right with the upside down spin. Very beautiful! And in front of the inventor.

a 900 whether nollie or regular is still a spin trick and you only see kids who aren't fully grown do it. Most adults have difficulties doing it Not because they cannot pull it off but it has something to do with the body. Danny Way explained it in one of his documentaries that it was easier for him to do all sorts of spin tricks when he was young and his body hasn't been fully developed.

@rikkidgermano9640 i get that but i feel like that brings up a debate. Should he be punished just for being young. What if there was just a really short skater. Say if hypothetically tall skaters get more air, should they not get better scores for doing a trick with more air than another one cause hes taller than the other guy Figure skaters and gymnists are all wicked young cause of the same thing, they dontbget points taken off for being younger or smaller. Its something only done in skateboarding. No other sport punishes someone for having certain physical traits. My view. Its hard to say but in the end if someones out killing it doing something no else can touch...idk seems a bit not fair. I think every sakter should be equally judged. Becomes a subject of ageism. I know where your coming from but you have to admit that hardly any, if not no other sports discrimnate the same way.. idk (:

Guys he didn't do a kickflip Mctwist. He did a Heelflip cab 720, or a "720 from fakie with a Heelflip". It's a much more technical trick, you're not just holding onto the board and praying you have to do the flip catch it and pull it back all whilst spinning. Also like people have said Danny way has spoken it's easier to spin higher rotations when you're younger.

hah so i wasnt the only one wondering if thats bob at first xD

So does 99% of people 😅 😊

In my opinion he should have won. Not a big fan of this fast spinning tricks like the winner.

Kinda surprised he didn’t even place that looks harder to land considering he’s basically anticipating where his board is gonna be

😂😂😂

Great idea.

then they'd get tired though, the time in between lets them recooperate

@@ewillathaflippa yeah but it must be hard to start and stop like that. At least give em like 1 minute

It's great how it is. It will only take forever with each skater having 5 mins.

Inline is rad. I was always a BMX rider, but had a couple of buddies who did inline and it was really cool to watch. Especially if someone can tear up a bowl on them and have that floaty style to it.

I'm 46. Got back on a board this year. Haven't felt this good in years.

watch the year prior’s best trick and you’ll know why. Gui is not well liked by anybody.

Awesome

surely it's broadcast on sat/cable?

They did stream it, every event I think, but all '23 Japan streams have been set to private and reuploaded as stand alone videos. Decent amount of speculation as to why, but won't add to the fire.

@@0harris0 today they put highlights on espn disney only owns 49%

@@richskater disney owns 49% MSP capital owns 51% they probably want to reorder some stuff

Looks like kickflip varial 900. A NBD! He will probably land it sometime soon. Spins very fast!

@@augustvong7057 super rad.. kid is crazy good

55

And then Tony proceeds to throw away his helmet as well. :D

@@punumoi He probably tried to throw it up to Schaar. He haven't practiced his helmet-throwing skills in a while. :D
