I'd like to make a point at a more subjective interpretation on how 'out of the blue' there's so many great japanese skaters. And it is due to Yuto Horigome. See Brazil's case (I'm brazillian). People used to say: "What is in brazil water? How are they so good at skateboarding?" If you stop no think, there's no reason for brazillians been good at skateboarding. We did not invented the sport, we are so far away from the country where it is more popular (USA)... and yet... we are top 3 country. You know why? Because back them we had Bob Burnquist winning X Games over and over again in open TV, for every brazillian kid to watch. Thats the same for Japan. And for other countries... all they need is a big inspiration to boost the scene at the country.
Eae blz? Só uma observação: Antes do Bob ser o maior medalhista do xgames , o ele foi o primeiro a ganhar uma etapa do circuito de vertical. Antes dele tivemos o grande Lincoln Ueda que foi o primeiro a ficar entre os 3 finalistas numa etapa Vert na Alemanha em 88/89 . Em outras palavras... Se hj o skate brasileiro é respeitado e sempre surge alguém fora da curva , é por causa desses caras da antiga.
One random and weird thought/correlation about the USA, Brazil, and Japan seemingly dominating skateboarding....isn't it odd that baseball seems VERY similar? The Japanese league used to be viewed as maybe equivalent to AAA minor leagues in the USA, but nowadays the level is much closer to MLB according to a lot of fans. And more and more Japanese stars are moving to the MLB. And there are many south and central Americans dominating on the MLB stage too, just like the Street League Skateboarding events have progressed over recent years.
Chris Lilly predicted this 12 years ago with his show “Angry Boys”. One of his characters was a Japanese skate mom who forced her son (a professional contest skater) to identify as gay for extra sponsorship deals. This show aired in 2011 -2012 and i cant stop thinking about it.

Your name speaks for itself! The Japanese have always been good at skateboarding. With that said, besides Yuto and a few others, kids like Gin and pretty much all of the Japanese kids who win contests have the worst style known to man! They could care less about the love of skateboarding its all about winning. I fucking cringe every time they land a trick and throw up their hands like they just scored a goal.
no shit, ZERO style😅 I bet their fathers force them to eat nothing but rice and practice 10 hours a day, and if they don't get tricks, their dad probably beats them and says they are taking their family honor 😅 or some dumb shit😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Yuto IS one of the only ones with any style😅 Tampa Am winning podium this year ALL has no style it was disgusting.
@@ARCANODESINE dude just stop. everyone from everywhere can have style skating. skate style is not location specific. Luan looks dope AF skating. so does Sewa. do does Aurelian so does Shane. so does Chris Cole or Koston. SO DOES YUTO just went around the world, Named the best Japanese skater who has DOPE style both clothing wise AND on a board, and proved your little bullshit feelings speech wrong. NEXT.
They treat it as a JOB at a very young age. I don’t think jpn would even be mentioned here if there wasn’t any money to make and I stand by that. They’d see it as a waste of time and train their kids in some other sport as a CAREER
@ARCANODESINE and a lot of kids, especially Japanese kids, look at it like a sport. Not skateboarding! My point is that kids like Gin are wack as fuck no matter how good they are!
Hey, haven t even seen the video yet , just wann say thanks. cause i was thinking about this , few days and weeks ago. and here you are right on point.
shit like this is why I love data, through some analysis you can analyze trends and in turn, make those predictions into content, seeing stuff like this is so cool and satisfies the nerd and skateboarder inside me simultaneously. Keep doing your thing man 👌👌
Yea jpn is there to stay. Unlike other sports such as NFL or NBA, or really any other physical sport. Skateboarding allows pretty much any age to go pro or skate in pro contests as long as they wear a helmet and make the cut. So, with that said it makes sense for jpn to raise their kids very young. Once they go pro the money and sponsorships start flowing in.
Nyjah is to skateboarding what Tom Brady was to American Football. He dominated so hard for so long that he heavily skews all of the stats. It's also so hard to analyze something like skateboarding where you can develop at your own pace from any age. You can't exactly practice football at age 3 o 4 and you can't be better than most adults by age 10-12 like in skating(Nyjah, Ginwoo, Sheckler, etc). It's also weird to realize that competitive skating is now no different than baseball imo. You need to live in a place with a great skate scene and have places to ride nearby. America is so big and the population so spread out outside of major metros, that most people do not grow up with great skating spots. Not sure how that compares to Japan. Nowadays, skaters have coaches and regimented diets and exercising, whereas back in the day, it was just skate rats drinking booze to make wizard sticks to swing around on a lit up halfpipe lmao. Crazy to see the changes and progression.
japan is like brazil, the skaters are good they come and go but even luan and others never seemed to beat nyjah or overall the american skaters when it comes to street parts , originality and style, however i grew up on the FLIP video and that was no american skaters lol
I know you were only talking about direct contest earnings but Malto mentioned that back in the day Monster and Nike match contest earnings for big contests like Dew Tour or SLS Xgames yada yada. So Luan's 200k might have even gotten to 400k in that year.
I really like your coverage of various competitions and other content, but my dumb animal brain can't keep up with a lot of the info being presented on-screen. So I feel emboldened to leave some feedback this time. . . - I'd like to see graphics that are easier to comprehend at a glance, such as colorful bar charts and pie graphs (which you use sometimes) rather than spreadsheets - The spread sheets can be very hard to read, especially when the screen shot is stretched out, scrolling/zooming, and given little space next to the skateboarding - Like someone else already mentioned, giving more spotlight to the data itself would be rad - You have a wonderful narration voice, but at times it feels like you're rifling off info at a constant speed. I wish the pacing was better by breaking up some of the info into easily digestable sections with sub headers or something. I've always felt this channel has a lot of potential and I'm generally excited when you decide to cover a recent event.
I already made a mild criticizing comment earlier and immediately got into positive constructive criticism mode. I didn't want to seem like a jerk by over-posting criticism, but I'm glad you got a lot of the same takes I had. It's good to see that he untangled himself from the "drama" algorithm's temptation. Data is neutral.
I love your videos so much, I am sooo interested to know & understand how you calculate or do the analysis for these videos. I can’t comprehend it, I would honestly pay to see a video of you explaining how these statistics are formulated. The only way I can think of is having a set list of 100 + things to look out for and then meticulously going through every single video on the subject and gathering the data but that must take foreverrr & you upload a bit so I am fascinated with how your able to pump out so mNy. Soo how do you do it ?
lol all the best skaters live in so cal, so they are really all american, felipe mota is always in socal, they dont really skate brazil that much they skate here
Ye I think when USA gets competitive re skating it will dominate again. Skating is so much more creative and style oriented in the states than raw athleticism. People geek out over how a skater does a kick flip more than the complexity of a skaters skating. Generalising I know. Imagine if all those amazing US skaters focussed on athleticism over style. I get more inspired by a Tom penny frontside flip than a super complex flip in, flip out trick. Just saying. Tom Penny was English but you get the point haha
They only skate indoors over there and barely do shit in the real streets (outside of cali). Pretty simple to get. Huck enough at a 1’ bump to bar I’m sure you’ll land anything
And? Most American "street" skater is more worried about video parts than going to the Olympics.. yes Japanese "street" (where are quarter pipes in the actual streets?) Contest skaters are talent AF but their priority is contests. Btw you are hopefully splitting the money from this video with Rob from the Boardr , considering it seems you built a channel from HIS work.. Like its been said . Nyjah at Rome? Yeah ...
Yeah well the Jap’s are making more than your favorite pro…. It does kill me that Kelvin Hoeffler is making more than some of the best street skaters 🤦
@@RealSkateStories dont disagree with that. But considering this channel does get their information from Robs back end work , just trying to give the credit where it is due. Obviously Rob dont CARE because this is still going on. I was fortunate to have one interaction with him(running the front counter? ) At the SPOT .. Nice guy then and one now..
dude, they will never get revenge for that😅 we killed like a wtf million people they got vaporized in the blink of an eye. if u think we care about some kid getting beat by his dad and only fed rice to get tricks or else he will ruin his family's honor, ur sadly mistaken. 😅😅😅😅
Australia is better then japan in women’s skateboarding. Australia only has 25 million people compared to japan’s population which it over 100 million . Per capita Australia is better
japan wont ever surpass a certain level because it is inspired by american skateboarding, the style the clothes, none of it is original its all american copied. at Ginwoos age, Nyjah was doing bigger and more things and i believe nyjah still holds record for earliest x games win. as well as another 11 year old kid. also japanese skaters have no originality or soul to their skating , its just very technical, they come and go as fast as they improve. yuto is good at comps but still doesnt hold a candle to Nyjahs street parts
exactly. it's cuz they don't have the passion. they skate cuz their dad beats them and only feeds him rice if he don't land tricks😅😅😅😅😅😅 Ginwoo has the worst style literally that I've ever seen in a contest and I've been watching skating since the mid 90s watch his run lmfao every time he lands switch he has to pivot back to regular😅😅😅😅😅😅 worst style ever u see better style in 80s skate videos😅😅😅😅😅😅 nobody gives a shit about ppl who only skate in perfectly built indoor parks. that ain't street skating wtf?????
Why is there no 18 and up/18 and down divisions? Or even 16 and up? I just don’t think seeing a child, even a really talented one, skate should be measured the same. Like Ginwoo has ability, but doesn’t have any style yet and he has to tense his whole body or pause and wind up for a big trick. But then again, Momiji is probably 12 or something and has the best style in the women’s division.
I think that’s what makes skateboarding special, everyone is judged against the status quo. Any age, any gender etc, it boils down to can you skate well.
@@bodymechanics9211 ideally. But I think the younger the kid, the more of a pass they get for things like not having style, or pausing on the coping, or huge ugly wind ups. Even hard tricks need to be judged on the finesse they are executed with. That could be allowed for if they had their own division, instead giving the same score to a beautifully executed trick, vs one that was just eeked out
@@Heavilymoderated I completely agree that they get a pass. I think we learn to excel early, when the pass is not given.l, when the bar is set for everyone just the same.
dude Ginwoo is so tense because he knows if he misses tricks, he's gonna have to eat only rice for a month straight, lose his phone, get beaten and have to deal with the embarrassment his father puts on him that he destroyed his whole families honor😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 and I can assure you it's only gonna get worse as he gets older. his style is the worst I maybe have ever seen, for SURE worst style x games has ever seen. the kid can't skate switch at all every time he lands Fakie he pivots back to regular w the quickness. so someone SUPER stuff n tense who looks like a mater from 91 the way he lands everything, can't skate switch, and they're saying he had the best run at x games.... who paid who to make that happen dude, c'mon now.
I understand why people say that, I’ve never seen anyone change that much. Any great artist learns to be great from critique. Time will tell. If your old enough to skate like that, your old enough to have better style as well. Now is the time to learn, not later once set in your ways.
@@lronhubbard8580 I don’t believe style comes naturally. Jagger, Woo, Nyjah, even Mullen compared against Yuto is interesting. Nyjah actually worked stuff out from people saying he was too robotic at 16. Jagger was probably “coached.” Yuto had a childhood skate buddy. Makes me wonder about these things. Woo is so different, friendship probably doesn’t come easy.
greetings everyone! great content congrats! really this generation of Japanese skaters are amazing! but I would like you to think about the possibility of making a video telling it, trying to understand, why skaters from Brazil are so consistent, they have been fighting for podiums in the United States with you Americans for decades, and in the great championships in Europe. in brazil skateboarding is the sport most practiced by young people. and if this is possible today it was because of brazilians like Lincoln Ueda, bob burnquist, mineirinho, luan oliveira etc. since the first street league we have brazilians in the final stages. same thing tampa pro . world tournament etc USA Brazil Japan
Its weird how everyone chooses to ignore that it took literally the entire rest of the world, including America, damn near 20 years to even just catch up to Nyjah, because its not like he never wins now, he just doesnt win 5 times in a row now. And thats ignoring all the times he was robbed of the win cause he was a little kid before his domination began (chris cole winning maloof, with like almost half as many tricks, and literally 1 flip grind that left his feet - i was all about Cole, but Nyjah got screwed for years). Has double digits x games golds, god knows how many sls golds, ignoring all the others medals that werent 1st, all while basically raising the bar of gnar skating every time he drops a part, which are all like 10+ min of real footage every time, not these corball 2-3 minute parts. No wonder yall hate him. In the meantime, we got hoefler with 1 part ever, Jagger with 1 part ever, Ginwoo with 0 parts after Nyjah had like 8 by his age, hell at least Yuto's dropping parts not complete slacking in the streets, while still dropping these average 3 minute parts.
As a statistician I have to say: this channel satisfies my curiosity for skateboarding on a level I cannot even express in words!
in numbers maybe ?
Dumb Data is an international treasure. Skateboarding's abacus ❤ thanks for your service

That couldnt have been said better
I'd like to make a point at a more subjective interpretation on how 'out of the blue' there's so many great japanese skaters. And it is due to Yuto Horigome. See Brazil's case (I'm brazillian). People used to say: "What is in brazil water? How are they so good at skateboarding?" If you stop no think, there's no reason for brazillians been good at skateboarding. We did not invented the sport, we are so far away from the country where it is more popular (USA)... and yet... we are top 3 country. You know why?

hey, in the earliest skate game with sewa, he says he never winned a roshambo, can you analise that please?
No wonder they were worried about invading the main land
They only skate indoors over there and barely do shit in the real streets (outside of cali). Pretty simple to get. Huck enough at a 1’ bump to bar I’m sure you’ll land anything
I wonder what Letitia sponsorship money is . I bet it dwarfs earnings from skating alone .
Bronusing power bi, amazing info
I feel like COVID skewed numbers for a year or 2
I miss 2015/16 Luan
watching this video makes me wonder... is skating even fun anymore?
Probably not for some of them
@@61936 skating is not fun anymore.
And? Most American "street" skater is more worried about video parts than going to the Olympics.. yes Japanese "street" (where are quarter pipes in the actual streets?) Contest skaters are talent AF but their priority is contests. Btw you are hopefully splitting the money from this video with Rob from the Boardr , considering it seems you built a channel from HIS work..
Like its been said . Nyjah at Rome? Yeah ...
splitting money with rob and the boardr? really?LOL
Yeah well the Jap’s are making more than your favorite pro…. It does kill me that Kelvin Hoeffler is making more than some of the best street skaters 🤦
12 k views money? Yeah split it and buy one Pepsi each
@@RealSkateStories dont disagree with that. But considering this channel does get their information from Robs back end work , just trying to give the credit where it is due. Obviously Rob dont CARE because this is still going on. I was fortunate to have one interaction with him(running the front counter? ) At the SPOT .. Nice guy then and one now..

Robs favorite song? 🤔🤷♂️😂
they don't skate for money.. they skate for passion.. on the flip side.. north american womens soccer players play for all the wrong reasons
Revenge for Hiroshima
dude, they will never get revenge for that😅 we killed like a wtf million people they got vaporized in the blink of an eye.
if u think we care about some kid getting beat by his dad and only fed rice to get tricks or else he will ruin his family's honor, ur sadly mistaken. 😅😅😅😅
World industries new world order...erased is following the same concept they used.
Carlyle group

Park skating and especially indoor park skating counts for nothing to anyone over 14yrs old
Street skating was created to get us away from park and parents. World industries new world order
IKR? Danny and Colin were good reflections of a time where people skated all things well. I miss that
For the OGs in the 70's skateparks were everything.
Australia is better then japan in women’s skateboarding. Australia only has 25 million people compared to japan’s population which it over 100 million . Per capita Australia is better
idk why Shane and Carlos are still competiting, they been messing up for a while now... give a chance for other rookies
Because they’re big names in skateboarding that sell tickets. Im not buying a sls ticket to see a Rodrigo Tx or Yuto clone.
japan wont ever surpass a certain level because it is inspired by american skateboarding, the style the clothes, none of it is original its all american copied. at Ginwoos age, Nyjah was doing bigger and more things and i believe nyjah still holds record for earliest x games win. as well as another 11 year old kid.
also japanese skaters have no originality or soul to their skating , its just very technical, they come and go as fast as they improve. yuto is good at comps but still doesnt hold a candle to Nyjahs street parts
exactly.
it's cuz they don't have the passion.
they skate cuz their dad beats them and only feeds him rice if he don't land tricks😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ginwoo has the worst style literally that I've ever seen in a contest and I've been watching skating since the mid 90s
watch his run lmfao every time he lands switch he has to pivot back to regular😅😅😅😅😅😅 worst style ever u see better style in 80s skate videos😅😅😅😅😅😅
nobody gives a shit about ppl who only skate in perfectly built indoor parks.
that ain't street skating wtf?????
Why is there no 18 and up/18 and down divisions? Or even 16 and up? I just don’t think seeing a child, even a really talented one, skate should be measured the same. Like Ginwoo has ability, but doesn’t have any style yet and he has to tense his whole body or pause and wind up for a big trick. But then again, Momiji is probably 12 or something and has the best style in the women’s division.
Because some kids are just as good as adults. Look at bowl and ramp skating.
I think that’s what makes skateboarding special, everyone is judged against the status quo. Any age, any gender etc, it boils down to can you skate well.
@@bodymechanics9211 ideally. But I think the younger the kid, the more of a pass they get for things like not having style, or pausing on the coping, or huge ugly wind ups. Even hard tricks need to be judged on the finesse they are executed with. That could be allowed for if they had their own division, instead giving the same score to a beautifully executed trick, vs one that was just eeked out
@@Heavilymoderated I completely agree that they get a pass. I think we learn to excel early, when the pass is not given.l, when the bar is set for everyone just the same.
dude Ginwoo is so tense because he knows if he misses tricks, he's gonna have to eat only rice for a month straight, lose his phone, get beaten and have to deal with the embarrassment his father puts on him that he destroyed his whole families honor😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
and I can assure you it's only gonna get worse as he gets older.
his style is the worst I maybe have ever seen, for SURE worst style x games has ever seen.
the kid can't skate switch at all every time he lands Fakie he pivots back to regular w the quickness.
so someone SUPER stuff n tense who looks like a mater from 91 the way he lands everything, can't skate switch, and they're saying he had the best run at x games....
who paid who to make that happen dude, c'mon now.
stop disrespecting the GOAT
don't act like you think I don't love Nyjah
Gin Woo will have a short career once he gets old enough and people finally speak openly about how ugly his skating looks. 🤷
He's young his style will evolve.
He’s 14 lol he’s gonna grow better style
I understand why people say that, I’ve never seen anyone change that much. Any great artist learns to be great from critique. Time will tell. If your old enough to skate like that, your old enough to have better style as well. Now is the time to learn, not later once set in your ways.
@@bodymechanics9211 the more a skater skates the more his or her style will evolve.
@@lronhubbard8580 I don’t believe style comes naturally. Jagger, Woo, Nyjah, even Mullen compared against Yuto is interesting. Nyjah actually worked stuff out from people saying he was too robotic at 16. Jagger was probably “coached.” Yuto had a childhood skate buddy. Makes me wonder about these things. Woo is so different, friendship probably doesn’t come easy.
greetings everyone! great content congrats! really this generation of Japanese skaters are amazing! but I would like you to think about the possibility of making a video telling it, trying to understand, why skaters from Brazil are so consistent, they have been fighting for podiums in the United States with you Americans for decades, and in the great championships in Europe. in brazil skateboarding is the sport most practiced by young people. and if this is possible today it was because of brazilians like Lincoln Ueda, bob burnquist, mineirinho, luan oliveira etc. since the first street league we have brazilians in the final stages. same thing tampa pro . world tournament etc USA Brazil Japan
Its weird how everyone chooses to ignore that it took literally the entire rest of the world, including America, damn near 20 years to even just catch up to Nyjah, because its not like he never wins now, he just doesnt win 5 times in a row now. And thats ignoring all the times he was robbed of the win cause he was a little kid before his domination began (chris cole winning maloof, with like almost half as many tricks, and literally 1 flip grind that left his feet - i was all about Cole, but Nyjah got screwed for years). Has double digits x games golds, god knows how many sls golds, ignoring all the others medals that werent 1st, all while basically raising the bar of gnar skating every time he drops a part, which are all like 10+ min of real footage every time, not these corball 2-3 minute parts. No wonder yall hate him. In the meantime, we got hoefler with 1 part ever, Jagger with 1 part ever, Ginwoo with 0 parts after Nyjah had like 8 by his age, hell at least Yuto's dropping parts not complete slacking in the streets, while still dropping these average 3 minute parts.
The data is cool but I was hoping to hear why you think it's happening and not just percentages.
Contest skating sucks
