I was a volunteer in the Street World Championship in Rome and the last day of the contest I had to bring Yuto to take the antidoping test and he was very kind and smiling, he even showed me the pics of him in Rome. I think he doesn't talk that much because he's not very good at speaking english idk but overall great guy and most impressive skateboarding I've seen in my entire life.
@@ArmyBoiSweat you know..... like performance enhancement drugs. Not saying anyone whos a pro is on anything, buttttt if they were it would be a huge advantage. Something like anavar where they could improve atheleticism, strength, stamina and recovery for performance/injury and barely put on muscle while doing would be a good example!
On Monday ben kadow walks straight into the regional fast food restaurant that I worked at in Connecticut during my last shift asking for ketchup. I said "hold on, ben right???" (Didn't know the proper pronunciation of his name) and he said "yea..." I don't think he is used to being recognized irl to be honest. I shook his hand and told him I loved his skating and he said thanks. Then he walked out that door and it was one of the strangest things that has ever happened to me because wtf was one of my fav skaters doing in Connecticut, let alone the place where I work.
Met him at a spot by wall street in nyc on a skate trip a few years back. He was with william strobeck and sean pablo. Was a quick interaction cause my homies and i didn’t wanna ruin their sesh. he pointed out a frog sticker on my buddies board and said, “nice frog sticker. We got the same one”. Pretty funny lol. The three of them were really nice
started skating a year ago and i go out and have fun. always felt pressure to learn new tricks and what not. you making that comment about not worrying about your progression as much and focus on having fun made me extremly happy and i completly agree
I'm a beginner and I'm still working on my Ollie but my whole goal is to have quality tricks when I get to em and have fun learning the things I wanna learn
@@WetDrainHair well I've been working on my Ollie more but I'm gonna start using my skater trainers for my back shuvs. I'm too cared to try it without em😂😂
@@nicklawery3004 thats a good ass way to learn. Just a tip, when scooping. scoop your foot down and slightly left towards the nose of the board. that helped me get a consistient scoop!
I think the conversation about the half cab into the car wash is about him not popping the trick at all. It was basically a fakie roll in, the same way people do it on quarter pipes.
I think there are better examples for someone that doesn’t deserve to be pro than John hill. He has some awesome street parts and he constantly puts out skating content
I think Ben K has like every trick he just doesn’t do them to be edgy. Nobody just throws out nollie inward or nollie laser after a trick and lands bolts.
it’s pretty exciting, it’s like if ur homie got nollie lazers on lock but never told u and they just throw one down out of nowhere. Especially if you’ve only seen them do more basic flat, you’re like wtf
Bens style is being a big sender and taking big spills. Probably the least technical of anyone on fa/hockey though. Sean is very technical and doesnt send anything. But very clean technical ability. Both leave something to be desired. Mackey is like a mix of them both
Tbh most the “beginner friendly” channels are kinda boring to watch sometimes, I mean sometimes it feels like the vlog type skate channels just seem to be the same with some exceptions in my opinion of course
About begginers not being on this channel: I would call myself a complete begginer since I can't even ollie yet. I found your channel today and this is the first video I've watched. Ngl there are a lot of things and references which i didn't understand at all and sound like another language to me, but I'm sorta used to that by now. The most difficult thing is learning trick names and remembering the names of skateboarders (I'm really bad at names if you haven't noticed.) I'm glad i found this channel tho, seems like a hidden gem and a lot more personal.
You call yourself a hater but you’re really not. You have educational takes on most of the subjects that involve skateboarding. Yeah your opinions might not be popular, but your takes definitely have a pertinence to them and are definitely worth thinking about when it comes to certain subjects
The fact that Joey Obrien and Alex Wilms don't have a pro model out shows how out of wack the industry is and its super frustrating that I have to do more research to find a board's length than I did on my senior thesis project in college. That's the only reason I still go to the kooky skate shop in my town instead of buying online.
but he as much a youtuber as a skater... who knows if he would have made it through the traditional way of becoming pro. And I can't stand his overly-positive tryhard youtuber-persona....
15:57 fuck thats me... can't do double kickflips really but got nightmare flips on lock for some reason and my kickflip is absolute trash lmao. I feel like varial flips you can just cheat into looking "ok for a varial flip" on flat whereas kickflips you actually need to have them good. Thankfully I got a solid heelflip to compensate
Skategoat had a sick street part filmed with Jim Greco before he went by Skategoat. "The Skateboarding of Leandre Sanders and Ludvig Hakansson" is well worth a watch.
People don't skate tech on big boards?! Lol, couldn't be more wrong about that one. The average size in terms of skateboard has been increased the recent decade or two. A lot of people skate 8.25" or even 8.5" decks actually, even when most beginners start out with 8" decks. That's right, most beginners do not even start out with 7.5" or 7.75" decks anymore unless we're talking small kids. For more of an all-round skater, an 8" deck is actually kind of narrow. I'd say 8.25" or 8.5" decks would be even more popular had the wheelbase been the same as an 8" deck honestly.
I don’t think SP has a bad style per say but it can be a bit much at times with the hunchback roll up and wavy arms. I think the part that bothers me the most is the fact that he will have the same style back lipping a 7 stair rail as he does when doing a fs slappy. Like turn it down a notch
Nike/Adidas put shitty insoles in most their (overpriced) shoes, at least throw in something that’ll offer a little more impact absorption. Vans offers “Pop Cush” insoles as a standard for their pro model silhouettes. Also noting, most of their shoes cost less to purchase. Something ain’t right🤔
@@CJRussell which vans model were you skating? I’ve had similar problems like that with eras, but when I tried sk8 lows with pop cush, it felt a lot more comfortable
John hill is highkey really good at skating though, he doesn’t fit the core skater mold but I feel like he could have done that if he actually stuck down that path. He probably makes more money now than he ever would have as a core sponsored skater however. Gotta put respek on my boy’s name 🥸
@@KQKQ23 moot point* and to me John Hill is not very inviting for kids that might not fit in elsewhere and want to find a nice activity with like-minded people. He represents the Cool Jock portion of skating and goes for popularity which I don't really like. I know skating to make money can be very difficult, but it gets a little irritating when someone is a walking self-promotion
@@Lincolnlogsoff Im pretty sure John left the skate industry because it was too jock/frat for him, and he felt out of place. I dont really see how he's a cool jock guy, he's kinda dorky (for lack of a better word) and a very introverted guy. I do agree though that he can come across as a walking promotion with his thumbnails, titles, etc
Not on topic, not even sure if you would see this; but what’s your opinion on Bag of Suck? Rewatched it at work yesterday and some of it holds up and some of it kinda falls flat
here a hot take: skaters should stop whining about who is copying people their styles like fr. these kids go crazy when they see someone wear the same t shirt as someone else
I think what he meant by the carwash halfcab not counting, is that he didn't really pop the trick at all. He sort of nudged off the top, like you would doing a halfcab out of a manny
Trying so hard to make something core is the equivalent of not being core at all you don’t skate to be the most skater skater you skate because it’s fun and cool
I disagree with John Hill lacks the skill set to be pro even though I don't necessarily enjoy his videos imo he definitely skates at a pro level especially after watching his video parts (my favorite being a John Hill video part)
“More difficult” maybe but it’s the first fakie trick into the car wash right? Way gnarlier than a regular trick in my opinion. You can miss the pop so easily

Still a perfect example
@@NosnebHaon how he is a talented skateborder
@@NosnebHaon he was even on Birdhouse
Thats what i thought, John Hill's old parts are extremely worthy of being a pro
John hill has some technical tricks but 0 style, awful trick selection
I think Ben K has like every trick he just doesn’t do them to be edgy. Nobody just throws out nollie inward or nollie laser after a trick and lands bolts.
True, shit wild when he throws one down
it’s pretty exciting, it’s like if ur homie got nollie lazers on lock but never told u and they just throw one down out of nowhere. Especially if you’ve only seen them do more basic flat, you’re like wtf
Nollie lasers🤢
Bens style is being a big sender and taking big spills. Probably the least technical of anyone on fa/hockey though. Sean is very technical and doesnt send anything. But very clean technical ability. Both leave something to be desired. Mackey is like a mix of them both

Yea frfr sometimes I just wanna see real heavy skating with real brutal commentary frfr. It just seems more organic sometimes
and so many ppl do/did lists like "10 Types of"
Those are just RUclips channels that happen to be about skating, not skating channels that happen to be on RUclips

Extra crispy nyc makes videos like that where it’s just skating with the homies and commentary his videos are raw

Wow that's a long ass comment for not basically saying anything
Playing Skate 3 helped me with learning trick names a lot also the more tricks you learn irl the more you'll know.
I met yuto after the dew tour back in 2019. He is extremely humble, kind, shy, and fun to be around.
