🚨 Watch tomorrow’s 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 on our website: 🚨
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.

LOVE Alex White's commentary – informed, articulate, sharp and quick. She calls the moves (the guys don't!)
Judges need to take some notes from SLS judging
Some of the best skaters in the world where is the crowd? !?!?!
First run of the night at 11:51 yeww enjoy
Why is Kairi Netsuke wearing a Nike SB shirt, when he skates for DC? Did he run out of shirts? Lol 😂😂🤷♂️🤦♂️ Because at Street league he's always wearing a DC shirt. Why is it different at this competition ? 🤔
SORA SHIRAI run was stunning !!! Total BS to the judge ugh booooo
How tf a kickflip fs blunt go a 89?
Ginwoos style is hilarious. Wonder what he'll skate like when he grows a little bit
Bring Jamie Foy back, he was great!
If that 1:08:35 perfect yutornado is not a 10 I didn't know what will be a 10, doesn't even make sense to have a 10
Jamie Foy best skate commentator to date
9s being throw around like candy at a parade
Estão roubando o Onodera na cara dura….
Need Tom Penny 1995 to show up and shut that place down. 😅 And before judges finish tallying the scores he just leaves like hes done before..first place and hes MIA. Yup.
2:02:30 how is that a nollie Bs heel 😂must be blind
Run are very underscored – many deserved an extra 15 points. Tricks repeated in best trick are often scored far higher than entire runs which contained the same trick. It's very frustrating to watch.
That was wild! Much better than the last few Street Leage stops. Can’t wait to see the finals
great commentary team, Marc and Dune , where is skating going to be in 10yrs? the mind boggles
GINWOO #1
Yuto loves those true religion trucker hats from the early 2000s. Lol. Makes me think of Dennis Rodman every time.
The scores are so arbitrary, its crazy!
hearing them talk about coaching is so insane im dying inside
Incrivel como os juizes tiram pontos do Onodera com manobras que claramente sao 91-92. E estou analisando pelos fatos.
Bring Jamie Foy back as commentator for the whole day on finals. He did amazing!
What dida miss?
The overscored nyjah. Pfft
The overlooked nyjah
How does these standings work? Who moves on to the next day?
The Austin Powers theme tune playing while everyone bails 😆
13:04 Peru CSM
Esse FLIP do RUSSEL no corrimão foi ridiculo… arrepiou!! 51:58
THAT HEELFLIP FRONT NOSEBLUNT HAD TO BE A 96.00 FFS ROOOOOBBED!! Shout out to you Richard, that is an NBD on a rail like that, at leeeaast in an effing contest. APPLAUSE from Holland
Lowkey want Gary Rogers on the commentary
I wonder how they actually judge 😂
thank you!
Sam is so cool 😊
These judges are smoking crack!!
I thought I couldn’t dislike someone’s swag more than nyjah til I had to look at cordano Russell lol
First heat Lines section got well underscored. Sad to see Vincent get pushed out.
Fakie heel back lip is booooooooooooooooonkers Cordano!!! GODDAMNNNNNN
Can Yuto do flips? Too many spins, 0 flips
#gustavoribeiro
vincent robbed on his line score
these american judgest always under scoring japanese skaters
This was an insane competition!
2:33:28 :O
I can't be the only one who heard that😂
Ginwoo should have been first but nyjah has plot armour
Whole first heats runs were underscored made zero sense
Would love to see Middle win the whole thing 🫡
