Tampa AM 2018 Winning Run | Ikeda Daisuke 1st Place 

Im predicting Japan takes gold in the Olympics

I think this is spot on, important to note that weather plays a large part in skateboard development, the more decent weather year round the more kids can get out to the local park and the more they develop. I would assume japan has a lot of indoor parks but that makes a huge difference. Its also important to note that the Japanese approach things in such a methodical and precise way that makes them prime candidates to take over whatever sport they try.

You've called it so far. 1st and 2nd place at Tampa Am 2019 were both Japanese. They're just on another level with the trick difficulty and consistency.

@@andrewpaffen8560 But you couldn't of predicted the covid cancelled the olympics dang it...

@@GrowingDownUnder haha this thread is nutty

thank you

No, when he knew he was the winner, it was like his way to celebrate.

pull urself up by the bootstraps and get buck then. Ain't nobody holding u back.

@@saxenas that comment is racist, but only if the person you said it to is not white... because it's ok to be racist to white people now. We won't do anything about it.

The comments not racist at all like i said nobodys holding anybody back which is what racism is. Stop being so sensitive

Dont forget the europeans 😆

Lmao

if it was busentiz doing the same exact run u'd prolly jizz ur pants.

he doesnt have that good a style. And his speed is unnecessary. Plus hed never do 540 melons like ikeda.

@Anon Ymity As are all the comments dumb fuck. Who the fuck charges at every obstacle obnoxiously like that anyway, that's what immature 12 year olds do.

@Anon Ymity well when he goes super fast sometimes it look wack as fuck. and it looks unncessary a lot of times. You suck at skating just get over it. We don't need to know about your imaginary sponsors. Yes my flick is pretty good. And i'm not fat....

@Anon Ymity my skating's pretty good actually imo. If you don't like it so be it. I talk shit when necesssary. The skate community is obsessed with skating fast to the point that they bully other skaters into skating that way. Then sometimes that leads to skaters getting hurt. skating slow is not a crime it's actually a great way to learn the trick properly and to maintain your style. Because a lot of time you lose your style with the arms flailing and all that when going super fast. Yes a lot of obstacles require speed but not all obstacles.

Hater

Yea the kids style actually is pretty smooth

Ricky Oyola was good back in the day, he wouldnt make it in this time the standards are off the charts

That last trick had so much fucken steez wtf

Agree, I thought the same. And if these haters don’t like your comment, they just don’t get Oyola’s teachings... the fs flip + aftermath was unnecessary.

You cant skate guaranteed

Yeah back 270 lip 270 out, 540, treflip lip, tre flip front 50, and back 270 kickflip lip are all boring tricks. Gtfo of here w that hater ass shit

He’s tech and smooth, tech is the wave right now, plus he hit that smooth 540!!! Fast and confident run
