Japan

[hentihero]

Japan was cool... lots of spots scattered around the Tokyo area.?  I ended up just hitting up the Shibuya park since it was so easy.?  Anyone ever see any footage on these quarters in Ueno park??  Skating it during the day would be impossible with all the people around.?  You'd also need to have some big, soft wheels.

Nice.
I can't recall where I've seen those quarter-banks but I've definitely seen them somewhere. They look like fun. Will have to hit those up next time I'm in Tokyo. That would sick to get a lipslide through the water ala Rowley in Sorry.
I wonder if it's possible to drop in on the banked ledge and clear the gutter into the quarter...

Yeah I'm pretty sure those have been in quite a few Japanese videos.  I know for sure Deshi has done some tricks on them.  I think in the African JAG video.  This is the same spot in his old Traffic report right?

Looks really fun.

Nara had a couple of spots.  Unfortunately I was only there for a 1 night stay and just did the tourist thing.

Street gap to thread the needle between the posts.


Smooth run up to long boardslide out to the street?  The other side of that rail was at least a 20 foot drop.


Osaka was also cool... takoyaki is soooooo damn oishi.

Someone call Jaws and tell um they've got a set he needs to kickflip mellon in Nara.

And a couple shit pics of the Shibuya park I took through the fence.  I was a bit surprised that the place wasn't packed.

What does that mean?  That is my bosses last name.

I found it tough to skate in Japan for a number of reasons and definately think its worth having an agenda.

Top of the list for me was the big wave thing called Brazil. It sounds ridiculous, but its actually Brazil's entry at the world expo site in Osaka, right in the middle of the park. Its in a secluded bit, so you shouldn't have any problems skating it, even in the middle of the day.

When you're done, check out the aquarium.

If something tastes good you say "oishi".  There's so much awesome food in Japan.

Brazil is mad fun! They cleared out a lot bushes and trees so it's not as secluded as it used to be but still hassle free.

What did you find tough about skating in Japan?

I need to skate that Brazil spot in Osaka before I die.
