Insane how he lands dead bolts perfect on 98% of his tricks. Like mathematically the best anything could possibly be landed; while also skating huge shit and doing extremely difficult tricks.
Anyways, I when I was watching, I was wondering about the language barrier. It looks like he’s got a little bit of English, but maybe not enough to fully express himself. (Of course, I could be dead wrong and he speaks English just fine for all I know).
Does he hang out with other Japanese speakers? I’d imagine it might be a little lonely for him if he is only around English speakers. There’s a big difference between having some useful phrases and being able to have an in-depth, nuanced conversation about your life, beliefs, worldview etc.
I used to teach ESL, so I know that English can be a real bitch to learn as it’s a cobbled-together mess of nonsense, broken rules and exceptions; so Im always impressed when someone gains any degree of proficiency at all.
