Watching Ginwoo is crazy because you're like "ew this kid sucks" then he does a backside doubleflip on transition in a run, where most people do a kickturn or just get off their board, and it should be gross but it's a backside double flip transition in a run and you're like "whaaa?"

Then he does a blunt bigspin, and a laser boardslide or something and it all looks like shit but... it's kinda crazy like.

And he annoys a lot of people for how he looks and his tricks. And he wins a lot. And he is sponsored by Jart. None of it makes sense.

I think I'm a fan.

This cracked me the fuck up.
I was watching a Tampa run of his to get a sense of his style/trick selection people were talking about in here and had a moment during a bs double flip where I thought there's no way that was a Jart board. But yah, there we go. Jart. Ginweird.

Yeah the fact that this combination of skater has a real chance to win the Olympics is hilarious, and we should all be supporting it.

Weird.  I can navigate to that link, but the copy/paste link doesn't work.

Olympics Skateboarding YouTube, but you gotta click the Live tab, not Videos:

Here's the street men's final:
