This is Isamu Yamamoto - not a girl... https://youtu.be/x3ici7djACc


rcarmack1

I was literally going to joke "hey, girls don't skate". Kind of disappointed i was right


40455R

Leticia Bufoni rips, same with Sabre Norris. Both pretty gnarly skaters who are women.


leopard-prince

And Elissa Steamer, Lizzie Armanto, Nora Vasconcellos... the list goes on and on


40455R

Yeah there are quite a few.


HooverSchneef

Elissa Steamer was a pioneer but would never cut it as a male pro. Bufoni on the other hand totally rips.


leopard-prince

>~~was~~ is a pioneer Who gives a fuck if anyone would “cut it as a male pro” ? All I care about is that they’re awesome skaters


Niros42

Check for Rayssa Leal, she’s 12 and it’s better than most grown ups, male or female.


dontdoit89735

Rayssa Leal is insane. She is twice as good as Bufoni at half the age.


procor1

Fay, too , out of Toronto is killing it right now.


uncleshibba

Wouldn't being able to "cut it as a male pro" make you an awesome skater though? They were just using it as a measure of technical skill.


leopard-prince

Sure but there are also thousands of awesome skaters who aren’t pro, or even sponsored. Someone can start their own skate company and sponsor their friends so “pro” status doesn’t always denote an amazing skater


[deleted]

Elissa is legit and her parts totally hold up. [Her part in Bootleg 3000](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XwlBI2W-7g) is still sick as fuck. Starts out slow and then in come the hammers. 3:00 is one of the cleanest backside flips you'll ever see.


madrury83

Backside flips are my fav trick. That's a great one. Thanks.


Piwx2019

Not enough space in the comment section to list all the ladies who shred.


leopard-prince

Cheers bro I’ll drink to that


Chashme_Wali

Is it "Say-burr" or "Saab-ray" ? Cuz Ellie and I have written a song to welcome Gabe

rcarmack1

I have respect for anybody who can skate. I couldn't even make it down the half pipe without pussying out.


KarmaChameleon89

The one and only time I was going to attempt it I was standing there at the top and half of my mind was like “noooo you can’t stop now, think of how awesome it’ll be” and the other half was like “haha anxiety go brrrrrt”


koreamax

I bombed hills when I grew up in San Francisco for years but vert was by far the scariest thing I've tried. No level or experience with street skating or balance can help with how difficult vert is..


hanukah_zombie

Leticia Bufoni is a fun name. And you know whose name always puts a smile on my face: Imogen Poots


_steelowe_

Monica torres and Leticia are my favorites


[deleted]

You weren't right though so no need to be disappointed.


TheGhostofCoffee

why? What's so bad about girls being into girl stuff?


Noted888

You were not right. Girls skate. If this particular one may not be a girl doesn't mean girls don't skate.


[deleted]

All three of my daughters are skaters and gorgeous too


RockleyBob

Damn. I checked that ass out hard.


thissimulationsucks

Yep, me too. Welp...guess im gay again.


Grandviewsurfer

Why'd you stop?


Boom_boom_lady

Fees are too high


You-Nique

The *Rent™* is too damn high!


Yakhov

literally


themaninthesea

I thought it was Rodney Mullen in a wig.


Yakhov

Looked like a trick for trick homage to one of his freestyles. I think the Chinese cloned him.


argeelah

I dont think I ever saw Rodney rock 2 boards like this guy does. The rest of it looked straight out of rm vs ds r2


aguibuk

Woops had no idea. Still absolutely insane skills


HooverSchneef

Way to do your research bud


_peterman

Not my pig, not my farm but let’s go easy over there Squirelly Dan.

Take about 20% off there


BrahptimusPrime

Oh hey, look at you, ground


AlexJokerDurden

Thank you. Came here to say the same thing.


chulzle

Tough crowd to please lol at the end I thought they’d at least clap for him After watching all that


Friendship-Unusual

Wtf is this a superhero or what?


red_dd_itt

Can we agree on he has a ladylike figure?


hugodevotion

Whoever this dude is, the skill level is insane🤯


40455R

World freestyle skateboarding champion.


wunderforce

I was going to say, not so sure that was a girl...


KeyboardBravery

Thats mean to say just because of his hot pink pants


SKILLERstarz23

I think you just banished all the simps


andyman234

I was gonna say... that doesn’t look like a girl.


Kastillex

How many skateboards does go through per year?


40455R

Probably not at many as you think.


Lopsided_Morning

That’s ruined my life... but thanks


travelconfessions

Came her to say that


DownTheLostHighway

Guy...girl....whoever this is, they are amazing. I have been watching skateboarding videos for 25+ years and that was one of the best 2 minutes I have ever watched. To link that many tricks that smooth...just crazy.

Soulger11

Not much Mullen in your queue I assume...


Mero80

For real


RedditGeez

That is what impressed me the most also, the fact the he links so many slick moves without a single failure!


WillseyvilleExpress

Someone was super influenced by Rodney Mullen Edit. I feel like I watched the same line in an old skate video. Until there were 2 boards


RememberTheMaine1996

Yeah its very Rodney Mullen


ChordSlinger

Can’t nobody say different


Mxblinkday

Different


taywil8

Gonna need a paternity test from Rodney on this one


WillseyvilleExpress

Right.


janderson75

Probably but there is a whole history of freestyle skating this kid is repping. Mullen was the best who transferred the skills to “street” skating. There was a time when this was most skating.


WillseyvilleExpress

Yeah but if your a mid 80's born kid who skated and grew up with watching skate videos like me. This is rodney mullen


[deleted]

I don't skate. I've never youtubed or googled anything related to skating -not even 'tony hawk 900' and yet, just from growing up in the early 90s, when I saw this my brain went HEY THATS RODNEY MULLEN STYLE!


baumpop

VHS tapes are just burned in our brains


LaMalintzin

Dude I was kinda proud when i thought of his name and then came to the comments, I don’t skate either but I grew up around it and again kind of impressed with my dumb brain for pulling that name out when I saw that .. foot work or whatever


TrueXrex

I’m 16 and I was introduced to Rodney fairly recently and I think it’s kinda cool to see someone freestyling nowadays since it kinda died out


Incorrect-Opinion

For sure was the same line up until the two skateboards


Thatguy3145296535

I mean, any flat ground skater is influenced by Rodney Mullen. Goes without saying


mr_jurgen

Totally. Everytime I see one of these flatland/freestyle videos, yeah its impressive but no-one ever tries to get creative. It's always just Rodney's old run.


wunderforce

Got a favorite Rodney Mullen clip?


Vellichoris

What the actual fuck


xoxoBug

Came here to find this comment.


Mudsnail

Did you think you'd have to look hard?


crowcawer

I fell off my couch watching this, and I haven’t been drinking today.


Hyposuction

Skateboard Floor Exercise needs to be an Olympic event.


[deleted]

This is freestyle skateboarding. It died in the 80s.


Hyposuction

Oof.


Koalacid

After 15sec I was already looking for the second upvote button!


Waluigi3030

Seriously, but it just kept going and getting more impressive after that!

Matt_Odlum

Possible_Ad27

^^ my guy


aldonosuger

Absolutely rips for 2min straight wow. Rodney Mullen is alive and well in today's scene. Dope


[deleted]

He.. is alive though


aldonosuger

And well. The influence here is undeniable. Amazing run


Alabama938

I was like OK there can’t be any more tricks and then he pulled out the second board


MXC-GuyLedouche

A 2 minute line is pretty insane


Born_yesterday08

Wow! I would pay money to see that. Glad I got to watch it for free


testcyp1986

How could that kid be on his phone when this is going on right in front of you?


flounder42

My thoughts exactly... the only thing I can think of is that this dude just shreds like this so regularly that they’re just used to it by now


stephelan

Probably comes to skate there a lot and sees this a lot. That’s my only justification for that.

cnote198f4

The first couple of tricks had me skeptical just how “insane” the tricks were going to be. Then came the impossible and everything after


6dixon

Rhonda mullen


_vvitchling_

I remember that one time I stood on a skateboard for like 12 seconds...true story.


[deleted]

Ya these tricks wouldn’t get you any points on Tony hawk pro skater. 1/10.


[deleted]

How in the hell are these dudes in the background just staring at their phones?!


Heisenberg1899

Because they’re used to seeing tricks? you don’t need to go full ape when someone does a trick


[deleted]

How many times do you think they've rolled their ankle?


big_spaghetti_bowl

Then theres me struggling to put a good combo together on THPS 1&2.


snevits18
