More skate videos & interviews from Tokyo:
After a jammed-pack year of action, the street skateboarding season will head towards its conclusion with the World Skateboarding Tour: Street World Championships 2023 in Toyko, Japan. Given the contest is doubling up as a World Championship, the points on offer in Tokyo will be worth more than at a typical tour stop, adding an extra dash of excitement to proceedings.
Out to defend her title in the women’s event will be Brazil’s Rayssa Leal, who recently claimed victory at Street League Skateboarding’s Super Crown in Sao Paulo, while in the men’s division, a new champion will be crowned with Aurelien Giraud withdrawing from the contest for personal reasons.
Among those expected to compete will be Nyjah Huston, who holds an impressive perfect record at the World Skate events he has attended, reigning Olympic champions Nishiya Momiji and Horigome Yuto, and Australian teen star Chloe Covell.

idk much but i think momiji should have scored way higher for the crook nollie heel thing
How tf are you supposed to judge this type of skateboarding?? It’s a circus
Sora is a like an evil androgyn anime character
Kairi is becoming one of my favorite skaters from this generation. Zero was smart to pick him up, that is crucial exposure that Zero needs
Editors: Tough to see flip tricks on the quarterpipes when the camera angle is from back on the deck. Also, when all slo-mo replays are super zoomed on the feet, you can't see the skater's body and, therefore, no sense of the style in the trick.
How is Ginwoo's double flip front board not a 90 or better? His second run score doesn't add up either.
Looks like Ginwoo got robbed a few times on his scores. Seems they dock him a bit for his size and age. Maybe style but that’s very subjective. He had some of the top technical tricks and was crazy consistent. But Sora definitely deserved to win. The US and Brazil arent able to keep up with Japan.

진짜 일본이 다 해먹는구나
Ginwoo got robbed. Do they dock him points for being little? I used to think maybe he did too many of the same type of tricks, but so do others.
His second run and I don’t know what more someone could have done and he didn’t get 90.
Maybe they want more switch tricks? Or more pop? They shouldn’t dock him cuz he’s little. He’s amazing.
this dude called netsuke's nollie inward heelflip front board a "nollie varial heelflip switch front board" …. ummm get new analysts.
Please get a new commentator….
Built to spill – carry the zero – kairi
pesadíssimo. parabéns pessoal, foi uma grande festa
insane!
congratulation to all the winners you deserved hard work ..🛹🛹
56:17 pretty badass
caramba o nível dessas meninas está cada dia mais incrível
Built to Spill – Carry the Zero during Kairi Netsuke first run… lets go!!
I saw on Chris Joslins IG that he was skating this park but I dont see him anywhere in this competition
why does ginwoo always get robbed?
Cara, só vi esse último mas, cadê o Kelvin? Ele não ia competir, impossível ter saído nas preliminares.
Why the SCORING for that Australian skater girl is always higher then it should be even when she does the same trick 2x
Ginwoo didn't get any score higher than 90.00? Something is wrong with this jury
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏁
GINWOO ROBBED
Can someone explain the Nike shirt with the ASICS shoes?
Está na hora de fazer uma auditoria nessas planilhas de notas, e identificar o juiz ou juizes que estão agindo de forma desproporcional, prejudicando o vento e os atletas. Deveriam retirar a menor nota e maior nota dada.
BRAVO le Japon, viva Japan !
p.s:pourquoi les gommes des trucks sont si tendres ? le style c'est s'engager et avoir du cul au bagou ? :o)
p.s2:c'est quand le fin de la peine de mort au Japon ? vous ne savez plus y faire avec vos codes sociétaux ?
What have the judges got against #GinwooOnodera ??? #robbed
Rayssa second trick should be more than 90
What are these stretched out, compressed 1080 frames? Rumble 1080 quality street league competitions look way better.
These judges really underscored Ginwoo during best trick. It's actually ridiculous.
ginwoo gettin robbed
Well, that was insane!
As a male in my mid 40's who used to skate in the 90's, I have to say watching these young women do things I could never dream of on a skateboard is the most incredible and humbling thing to experience. Hats off to these young skaters leading the next gen of skateboarding!
Stoked to see Pastras hosting
fakie heel board higher than heel back noseblunt??
Ginwoo was stolen twice.
Japan fully deserves the whole podium.
