- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Growing up on the third floor of a Tokyo apartment building, halfway across the globe from the skateboarding mecca of Los Angeles, Yuto Horigome quickly built himself up as one of the best street skateboarders in Japan. Not satisfied, he moved to Los Angeles as a teen all by himself to chase his dream of becoming the best in the world. But little did he know he would prove it not in the US, but back in his home country... at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games.

Yuto just got gold again at Paris 2024!
I know 🔥🔥🔥
YES SAW THAT, this guy is incredible, its now double gold for japan street skateboarding
pls make yuto part 2 man, your documentaries are awesome!!!
we need a part 2 🙏
What a legend.
wow, this dude just woke up one day and said: "I'll make the best and most profoundly emotional skateboarding documentary ever today". Bravo.
you think this was made in one day? prob took months
@@njm92495 u dumb?
bro u never watched rising son
Yuto got another gold medal in Paris. I love both Huston and Yuto. Huston is the legend, Yuto is a new star.
Amazing editing and story structure, dude. This had me fighting back tears at work. Time to go skate
I'm literally the same rn
Tears? Cringe.
@@KatzProductionsYT whats ur problem
@@twentyonethousanddudes a loser lol. Probably had noone be proud of him before, so doesnt know what it means to be almost brought to tears seeing someone else’s success
im glad someone said it. Im by myself at 12:24am and for some reason this made me cry within 10 minutes.
Amazing transitions from emotional skateboarding backstory to technically breaking down SLS scores. It’s just enough for anyone with or without skateboarding knowledge. They should fly you to Japan and let you interview Yuto and his fam for this great work👏
Truly an amazing video, made me tear up and as someone who just watches skating and didnt know much about the competitive scene this video taught me so much.
A father who introduced him into skateboarding and taught him techniques, a family friend who mentored him, a best friend / rival who accompanied him everywhere in his youth, and a world-wide journey that helped him hone his skills, win recognition, and introduce him into the culture? Yuto is literally a shonen sports manga protagonist. And I think that's wonderful.
EDIT:
Then we get a comradery with the most dominant skater in the world, the Olympics itself where Yuto's dad steps out to avoid jinxing his son and prays for his victory at the old bridge where he once brought Yuto to skate, a reflection of reputation and propriety and the fight for respect, an impossibly thin margins for success, and a glorious run to victory. You can not make this up.
I wish a skateboard fan manga artist will make a manga with this
Mark my words: the next great sports shounen will be about skateboarding.
That edit made me tear up. That’s so sweet.
Anyone else tear up?
"This Is Skateboarding At It's Best"
❤Impossible not to tear. My eyes are wet and my vision is blurred and my nose is stuffy. So much emotion especially at the end for every skater competing.
At the end there was no stopping it.
Tears down my face at the end...
When he put the gold medal on his father's neck... And his father saying his son taught him rather than him raising his son... did it
@@diabolusvincitIt's the best, skateboarding at its best.
Yup got a little emotional
bro never stop editing and making documentries not everyone is capable of doing something like this with time people will recognize you just don't stop
seriously the mental fortitude and staying completely unbiased is something 95%+ of people could never attain. Along with the dreading hours of research this probably took. He's gonna make it big with these skate docs
@@aidinlayne This doc is not unbiased at all! But that's good, because we can feel the filmaker's love for Yuto and this story in every minute of the film.
Teared up at the end. I am so touched by Yuto's relationship with his father. He taught me..Wow.
Hard not to tear up, it was Mr. Hayakawa saying that about him, not his father, but both relationships are touching for sure
Same I got very choked up, its the success story of it all truly touching.
As a 55 year old skater from Los Angeles you got me to tear up GREAT vid THANKS
I don't even skate and I teared up
This is by far one of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen. I was not expecting to run into this tonight but man this is what i needed. Thank you.
Proud to be here before this channel blows up. Bright future ahead of you dog!
Thank You for this beautiful documentary, I teared up, my father passed away in March 2020, I remember I rooted for Yuto to win this Olympic and at that time I was still in recovery from the lost of my beloved father, I remember I was jump and shout in happiness to see him winning. skateboarding was the only outlet I have and it will forever be. The story of Yuto’s and his Dad is something that every man would ever want. Thank You again.
I'm sorry for your loss homie. Losing my parents is honestly my biggest fear and is something we could never truly prepare for. Hope life is treating you well ❤
This is probably my favorite RUclips video I have ever watched. Just the editing, story telling and the inspiration behind the story itself. Thanks man.
Such a masterfully crafted story. The music selection, clip edits, sound bites, and pacing were all so impactful. Thank you for your passion. Cant wait to see what you continue to create. I’m happy to subscribe
I saw this in my recommended and thought "oh cool, I used to skate". Then, seeing it was about an hour long, decided I was going to watch maybe 5 minutes and skip to the ending, but man, I sat through the whole thing and an hour flew by like it was nothing. Had me on the verge of tears, amazing what you've put together, and what a story!
Thank you for this!
As a skateboarder who has seen the progression of the sport from the 80s and 90s 00s till now, it is great that is is now accepted and kids who want to express themselves in this way now can and also have a future. When I was young skaters were seen as burn outs who would amount to nothing and this was not true but labels hurt and it is good to see change.
I'm yutos age it's interesting too see a new generation thrive they got all the RUclipsrs and internet tips I wish I had but me and my frends where the only people in my small town doing it really was good for me growing up and I know alot of others felt the same, it's allways inspireing to see people thrive it takes alot of skill and courage to progress in this sport.
That scene of you skateboarding with your sister at the end was the nail in the coffin. Had me tearing up man.
I started watching this video without realizing it’s 1 hour long and yet I watched it until the very end! Amazing storytelling! Very emotional! Deserves millions of views! Hats off to you and Yuto and all the good and hardworking people featured in this video! It’s inspirational even beyond skateboarding ❤
Oh dang I only just realized it was an hr long when I read your comment. Felt more like 20 minutes for me.
I did not know yuto needed only 8.1 for gold and went for 9.3 and made it. That makes me cry. Good skateboarder spirit.
As someone who doesn't skateboard, I can say that this video was extremely well done. I was fully invested in Yuto's story and I was holding back tears at the end. You deserved yourself a like and a subscribe I hope your channel blows up.
The documentary is awesome, your research in on point and you brought to light a really compelling story. Continue making these.
Everybodys a hero in their unique way, in their own not that heroic way.
This documentary made me break down in tears, Honestly I never knew how deep competitive skateboarding got. It really is a soul grabbing sport and to make it to the olympics just gonna expand the sport’s beauty.
What a small world, a kid I grew up with who used to skate to and from school since elementary who's so dedicated that he's now traveling the world with Yuto and almost got into the Olympics. Shay Sandiford, I feel embarrassed being out of the scene for so long that I didn't even realize how pivotal Yuto is.
That’s such a cool thing to be able to say. Much love man
i teared up in the end, been watching yuto's skatebording competitions, but to watch this whole documentary, dude you really completed a puzzle that i don't know i need to see, amazing job!
That little snippet, discussing his father right before the finals segment is so wonderful and got me tearing up.
Ok, now the end has me straight up crying. Wonderful video.
dude this is such an underrated channel holy bro, this is one of the best documentaries ive seen man keep up the good work!
Its refreshing to see original and creative content and not feel like ive watched over 400 movies with overused stock footage. Keep up the good work and be original and youll be hitting 1mil subs within a year or 2.
I recently attended XGames Ventura 2023 and I was amazed how consistent Yuto was in practice! I even got to meet him and get a picture with him after him winning 1st place Gold at XGames! He was so humble and down to earth and wishing him all the success! I also have his winning run on my RUclips channel too!
This channel is so incredible. Got me over here crying over a random skateboarder that I didn't even know of until an hour ago. Can't wait for you to get some well deserved exposure on this channel.
I love your SSBM videos but damn this was next level! Watching Yuto win SLS multiple times was an absolute thrill and he has such a smooth beautiful style. So to see you make this wonderful video felt right, thanks for that!
It's feels kinda crazy there's at least one other guy on youtube who happens to like both skating and melee. It's a small world.
Absolutely beautiful documentary! I very much appreciate the respect you showed to all of the skaters, esp Nyjah and Yuto. Thank you so much for helping me better understand Yuto. I've been away from skating for some time and this documentary was perfect for filling in some gaps.
Everybodys a hero in their unique way, in their own not that heroic way.
Hold on, this editing?? Little things like the "2nd" being on the screen at 0:29 -- you've evolved SO much in videomaking since your first few videos, and I loved those!! :D
I'll continue when I've watched the whole video, but wow, your enthusiasm and love for the subject never stops shining through.
HA! I love that you used the footage from the Ricta thing. Yuto was living with me at the time when he first came to America. His bed was 3 sleeping bags on top of each other in the corner of the livingroom. I was asked to film that and it was the first time a US company wanted to put something out of Yuto. So random you found that edit!
Woah that’s crazy!
@@FlameIsLucky I was living with Tomo and Micky. Tomo randomly came home with him one day and the rest is history hahah
HE JUST WON THE 2ND EVER SKATBOARDING OLYMPICS
Thank you so much for making this! This is up there with the best video essays I've ever watched and it held my attention the whole time with perfect pacing and background music :)
the tears started flowing when his father visited the same park he practiced with his son in honor of his finals😭😭😭
当時、毎日のように動画を観ながら、涙を流して観ていました。ハートが何個あっても足りないくらいのプレッシャーの中で、1番の味方だけど、ある時は敵で。 自分と闘っていたんだなって、また涙が出てきました。 この動画と出会えてよかった😊 ありがとうございます❣️
man, even if im not a part of the skateboarding community and have close to nothing knowledge about skateboarding i literally understands everything on this video, what a great documentary. it made me tear up like i personally know yuto and i am part of his life.
This was an amazing film! Seriously one of the greatest sports documentaries I have ever seen
Best documentary ever 👏
I like the fact that you included a bit of other skaters , its unfortunate that Olympics didnt have skate before , Nyjah certainly would have a gold but lets see 2024
Both Yuto and Nyjah my favs
Is rly dope how freely yuto skates and i was happy to heard his story and rise
Btw the Naruto music was on point😅👌
and he does it again
You have the skillset and the amount of views needed to turn this into a lucrative career. I hope you keep making videos and I hope you keep picking subjects that people respond to.
Bro this is way too good. I don't know anything about skateboarding, but this video hooked me all the way from start to finish. The stories, the pacing, the music, everything. I.. I feel like I should pay for this quality of content
Its such a beautiful culture. Thank you for respecting it! were all family.
HERE RIGHT AFTER HIS 97 IN THE OLYMPICS! WOW
fr that was so clean
I have zero interest in skateboarding, but this really pulled me in, made me emotional, and suddenly an hour is gone and I wanna go skating myself. Absolutely outstanding work on this documentary, really rare that I find these gems on youtube. Well done
Not sure how you only have 3.6k subs when the quality of this documentary was phenomenal! Love yuto as a skater and this made me love him so much more
Everyone is complaining about how Nyjah got robbed at Paris. They just can’t handle the fact that Yuto is better than
Growing up skating in the early 90's watching any skate video the local movie rental house had at that time it was all we had. The world is so different and being able to see what others are doing around the globe is key as well as inspiring. I remember the 1st time we seen a kid do a kickflip, it blew my mind and had to stick it! In my late 40's now, those being some of the best times in my life, skating with my crew!
amazing video man usually docs this long on youtube don't capitate my attention so well. love the storytelling and it reminded of the smash brothers documentary a bit, then i check ur channel and ofc ur a melee og. would love to see some similar melee docs i'll go watch the others on your channel. you have my sub! also big skate and 100 gecs fan too!
That ending hit me in the feels, incredibly well done!
from searching for Animal Chin to mini films about Andy Anderson to thrasher covers on Natas, I've seen a lot of skate footage, but this is the best skate video I have ever seen and always will be. Also Yuto is steezy as frick.
I saw these comments about crying at the end and I already knew the outcome to the Olympics, but damn bro.. I'm crying too now. Such a great doc! You killed it Flame, keep it up bro
I hadn’t a real interest in skateboarding, but I saw this because I saw Yuto win live on the day.
But your documentary has blown me away and ignited a real interest. Thank you for your hard work and your talent for filmmaking.
what a great documentary I couldn't stop watching the way it was put together from beginning to end
i think "no english, where the hoes at" is my favorite quote of all time
Just watched this for the second time. This video should have millions of views, great stuff❤
I have watched this docoumentary 3 times haha. It is that good and so inspiring. I just started skating not to long ago so time to time i come back to watch this documentary to motivate me and keep pushing. I hope you do a documentary on Nyjah. Great video!
Extremely well put together. Tangents were fun, informative, and contextual!
no because why tf did i cry so hard at the end. your editing is truly amazing thank you for telling his story
Incredible video! I had no idea what an incredible story this is, I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day
This was brilliantly made. Great job man, I can only imagine how many hours you put into this. This got the best of all my emotions, your storytelling is amazing.
Your editing and story telling is remarkable. You are going to blow up on YT! Keep it up
his style is so unique, i knew as soon as i saw him in a comp for the first time he was going to be a big dog in the scene for a long time coming
Such amazing work. Thank you for the inspiring story and informative breakdown of not only Yuto’s backstory but also a simple explanation of competitive skateboarding. This is a true celebration of the skateboarding culture! ❤ you’ve earned my respect, sir!
Its one thing to have me sitting here watching an hour long documentary, its another thing to have me at the edge of my seat rooting for someone I've never heard of in a sport I've never watched. Great video!
Amazing. I’m so glad I came across this, thank you so much.❤️
Yuto is one of the reason's I started skating, he's been nothing but an inspiration to me and other people who want to start skating, I hope he inspires future skaters from now to years to come.
song at 2:25 is "Gyöngyhaju Lany
Omega" also used in this popular video "ruclips.net/video/tLvwgmClQss/видео.html"
What an amazing documentary this is! I can't describe how inspired I feel after watching this video and witnessing just snippets of Yuto's Story. Got me all teary eyed one moment and fired up the next!! GAAAA now I just wanna achieve, succeed and excel in not just skateboarding but anything I do! 😁
Absolutely one of the best made dokumentarys I ever watched. The music the cuts and the explaining are so good. Thank you for making this 🙏🏻
bro actually a GREAT documentary!! before this i knew absolutely NOTHING about the world of skateboarding, but now i'm legit looking forward to it in the 2024 Olympics!!
also this dude is a BEAST! thank you for highlighting his life, can't wait to see what he does next!
I've always enjoyed Skating culture thanks to Tony Hawk, thanks for making this documentary.
I just clicked on the video and it blew me away. I never thought I would watch a whole documentary of someone I didn't know and of a sport I'm not familiar with. You did amazing with the storytelling and explaining. ❤ I'm definitely more interested in skateboarding and the way you described the concept of skateboarding and Yuto's journey is amazing! 😊
Wow. Amazing and breathtaking storytelling. Keep making documentaries with this style. Thank you.
What a documentary, thanks a lot for the amazing work !
Can't believe this is only sitting at 100k views man, this is one of the most gripping and investing documentaries I have ever watched, and I had no prior knowledge of it. I walk away with newfound respect and wonder for the sport and inspiration to push myself harder. This is truly a work of art, thank you.
Fantastic documentary. Had me gripped all the way through. Also the Yugioh sound effects and Ocarina of Time music 🔥🔥🔥
Really great work. The way you laid out the strings and then tied them altogether so well speaks to your storytelling. Thanks for your hard work!
This is the most beautiful documentary I have ever damn seen. I regret having it on my watch later for 4 months.
Incredible documentary, I'd call it a masterpiece. I have no words, I'm thorougly impressed and inspired by the story you have told. Be proud, this shall be your Magnum Opus
Incredible editing and story telling, keep making videos like this im sure your channel will become huge 😃
I've been seeing this video suggested to me for months and put it off thinking it would just be another poorly put together slideshow with annoying commentary. BOY WAS I WRONG. This was amazingly well done! Awesome story and you told it perfectly! Great job my dude, you have serious talent for this.
12 seconds in and I cannot agree with the statement that the contest was not possible due to an alleged "pandemic". The contest was not possible because of the RESTRICTIONS! And a cough and a law are two very different things.
It's just beatiful, thank you very much, I'm just crying while watching the documentary, Long live skateboarding!
Im here because i have Yuto Horigome dunks. Expensive af, but genuinely beautiful. Turns out the guy behind it is just as illustrious as his shoes
this is amazing! Everything matches together insanely well. I wanna go skate now
Didn't know anything about skating before watching, still an absolutely fantastic documentary!
This is amazing! Outstanding work! Everything!!! The storytelling, editing, sound, feeling… wow! Thanks for this! Again! Amazing work!
Dude thats incredibly good video! I know shit about skateboarding and yet that was interesting as hell! Good job!
Im 3 months late seeing this video but only 10 minutes in I'm hooked. Never skated in my life other than pushing a board around and falling more times than not as a kid but truly appreciate and respect the art and world of skateboarding. Dropping a like and Sub and getting back to the video. Thanks for this banger my guy!
i’m dying at 19:14 “no english where the hoes at” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 amazing seeing his progression from this perspective great video!
this video was amazing and i cant believe i watched the whole thing.
Happened to watch this after seeing your smash documentaries. Wow. Immaculate storytelling!! Brought tears to my eyes and I’ve never even skated before hahaha. Awesome work with this, thanks for sharing Yuto’s story with us :)
Amazing video! I normally don't watch documentary's till the end, but this one kept my attention captivated throughout. What an amazing insight into Yuto's jouney.
My heart wears such a huge smile after watching this. I was a little late finding out about yuto. I found out about my guy about three years ago. Kelvin hofler… when he came out onto the scene I was so hyped. I’m still hyped when I watch him skate. Same with yuto and all the other talent coming out of Brazil and Japan. These two countries are so very humbled which is why they are destined for greatness and prevail on top. I absolutely love what the people from these areas of the world have and will continue to contribute to skateboarding!! 🙌🏼🤙🏽
wow. what tony hawk said at the beginning gave me chills. skating really is beautiful.
After being off the board for 7 years , this really wants me to go back. Great documentary 👏 🎉
ive seen this on the recommended for the past week and wasnt planning on watching it, but my god im glad i gave in and did watch it. ngl i shed a tear during this...
Overall amazing documentary, also amazing soundtrack choice 👍
