Yuto Horigome's "Spitfire" Part

[Donatello]

Fucking hilarious reading some of the reactions on here. "Song sucks" who the fuck cares? People have different tastes. Yuto can like what he likes. "No emotion" "his skating does nothing for me" LMAO get a fucking life, Yuto's skill, style and trick selection are all elite.  This is what top tier street skating looks like in 2021.  Nobody gives a fuck that it didn't make you cry or whatever AA does to you.

That said as dope as this was I think as a whole I prefer his vx part from earlier this year.

they hate the song because their strict white parents wouldn't allow them to listen to this type of music let alone have fun to it when it comes on somewhere else. daddy's about to hit you with his belt again guys.

Lol are you saying that people not liking the music is a race issue ? Lol

I'd say you'd be hard pushed to find people on here that don't adore skating with 90s east coast hip hop.

Their white daddy's must have been fine with that music though.....

true but I wonder why would you HAVE to mute a song to even finish a 3 min part? thats crazy to me. "reminiscing over some better old days" that were never actually there. they love 90s rap music and want it in their videos because of skate videos that had 90s rap music in it not because they were actual fans of the music first. you dont like baggy pants and puffy shoes because of the designers or rap music in that era. you like it because of people like josh kalis in the dc video.
there are barley any Griselda records skate edits but always the same old wu tang or gangstarr ones. 
while I know that a lot of old heads dont like trap drums or the message they are promoting.. I think its not as cringe as a alternative folk or soul song that you've never enjoyed before skate edits.
it might be the stiff drums that have some electronic music influence and the epicness it creates while some guy mumbles some ignorant lyrics into the mic. but its fun and not to take literal all the time. I dont listen to future while I clean my gun.

that was sick. dude clearly is incredible on a board, he can do everything.
my additional take away point is: too much zoom/emphasis on the dunks.
come on, this is a spitfire WHEELS part, show us some fucking WHEELS.

Would've upped the hype for sure.

Dudes are acting like he picked the most offensively abrasive Soundcloud underground mumble trap of all time. Its just a generic Future song; sounds like something that could've been put over a middle part of some full-length in 2011. Fred Gall SOTY but this part might've convinced me that Yuto should get second place. For how much Suciu is pushing I still remember Yuto's insane first part more than anything Mark's put out, and I feel like this one's gonna stand out more too. That plus the Olympics, he's definitely had a hell of a year and would deserve it.

He is essentially Koston. Won every contest (you know Koston would have won that shit in like 1998-2004 if the Olympics happened back then). Put out multiple parts pushing the boundaries of what’s possible but with good/perfect style. Has all the best sponsors. Thrasher covers. Loved worldwide. Rips a demo with ease. Can do anything. I think he should win.

Imagine the SoTY trip. Probably Koston, Shane, Yuto, Dashawn, Ishod, and the gang. Incredible output. Nostalgic of like Koston and CK1 and grant going with Ishod on his SOTY trip.

Because it is shitty trap with autotune and it is horrible to listen to.

[exlurker]

I detect an undercurrent of anti-popshuvit sentiment in this thread, and that disturbs me.

Cut to Dunks...pan out for trick...zoom in on Dunks

[BALARGUE]

Cut to skateboard / rough ground, pan out for trick, zoom in on skateboard/roll away

confirmation bias about dunks

complain about strobeck if you want
but why complain about a pretty classic pattern in SKATEBOARDING videos

Sidenote A: i dislike Dunks
Sidenote B: are you guys serious about wanting to see wheels ?

[Donkey Lips]

Does anyone else remember a video of Yuto talking shit to Nyjah or somehow flexing after he won the gold medal? Maybe he’s at a hotel or something? Can’t remember but would be funny to see again if anyone knows where to find it.

Sure. Here it is.

[Dark Knight]

His nonchalant style and even bowl cut reminds me of the best Penny era, and I’m all for it.  Konichiwa bitches

[Sarcasm]

You know to each their own or whatever, a lot of people like future and that's cool, but it's hard for me to appreciate a singer who mumbles jibberish like,

"catching cold feelings can be a bummer
that's why I drive my audi in the summer"

but all I hear is..

"cashun oldfeely cnb mer
thats I arrive audi in thumber"

That being said skating was impressive and I don't need to wish Yuto the best because it appears that he's already there.

[cosmicgypsies]

Yuto is very good

This video was not good. The music and editing is so hilariously bad it actually makes me laugh.

Anyways, switch back shuv over the street gap was insane. Awesome clip

abd in a bronze vid 5 years back

[apport]

love future but EVOL was a low point imo, out of his entire catalog why that song

[Frank and Fred]

Fucking hilarious reading some of the reactions on here. "Song sucks" who the fuck cares? People have different tastes. Yuto can like what he likes. "No emotion" "his skating does nothing for me" LMAO get a fucking life, Yuto's skill, style and trick selection are all elite.  This is what top tier street skating looks like in 2021.  Nobody gives a fuck that it didn't make you cry or whatever AA does to you.

That said as dope as this was I think as a whole I prefer his vx part from earlier this year.

"Top Tier?" What even is skateboarding in 2021? haha... man... The day skateboarding stops involving personality, approach, subjectivity, taste and opinion and becomes more about set-prices, "tiers" and robotic routines, is the day its done... I care.

Top tier? Is that a foreign concept to you?l? The idea that skaters can be better or worse than each other? Maybe Andy Shrock nosesliding a tiny ledge is more "relatable" to you. Stick to remive and braille imo.

I'm sorry yutos part didn't make you bawl your eyes out because he didn't slam enough or didn't have a dadbod or dorky clothes. Personality, am I right?

Sarcasm aside, how the fuck is this japanese kid Yuto Horigome the most divisive skater Slap has ever seen?

Round and round we could go but really its  b/c skateboarding has a tradition of being subjective and harshly judgmental from the days of Hawk Vs Hosoi. A lot of people were more interested in Hosoi doing an overhead backside air than Hawk doing a Madonna revert. Right or wrong it was because of style and personality. a lot of what attracted them to skateboarding in the first place. I know skateboarding is moving closer to points, rules, objectivity and so on but it will never fully be without irrational harsh critics like myself.

Just being honest but Yuto's part did not make me want to skate... maybe that's what it boils down to... relatability. it is a big factor in inspiration for many...

Someone like Joey O'Brien and his Untitled part, for instance, just fucking oozed personality and inspiration and got me amped to get out there.
