Budspencer has a point, Japan really is one of the only places doing anything new. Only other notable mention would be France/Bordeuax in particular, but they're friends/influenced by the Japs anyway.

Sickest in the sense of showing off? Not even.
Here we have the Australian, better version of this.
The best part of any video, ever. I HATE tech shit, but this steals the top spot for most innovative video part ever, and its just off cuts from his main part....
i always loved the zoo york est vids, amateur skating at it's best and i think i made it on one of em (plus some ams that made it to big pros now) wtf happened to chad muska?
fuct random acts of kindness was another fave vhs i had from the skate shop, can't find it in any form now

Why is everyone shouting about other skaters doing 'better' stuff? This is about Gou's technicality and skill. Let's just appreciate him rather than saying other people are somehow 'better'
