2024 SLS Tokyo: Men’s Final

[@Yuri_1JZ]

Chris Joslin is a bloody legend. Really hope he gets a win next time.

[@SmokinJoe3]

Legit, deserves it too. Such good competition though, I know he can get er' done ❤

[@MrEL91N]

Happy for the winners but its so frustrating to see him kill it like he did but then Sora and Yuto pop off as well. I was hoping he'd finally get a win!

[@NaptownKM]

My final thought is that exactly...Joslin needs a win! We need at least one Joslin win.

[@TheFarthan]

Joslin is awesome for sure.. But how about Ryan fucking Decenzo? The guy is the oldest contestant here by far. He's a veteran who's been skating in these events for over a decade. It's remarkable that he even still makes finals at his age, against all these younger-arguably "more athletic"-contestants. In 2023, Decenzo almost won first place at an event in Chicago. But he lost to Kelvin Hoeffler, who just _had_ to land the final trick that kept Decenzo from winning first. I feel like if I had been Kelvin in that situation-and I knew I was going to steal a win from a guy who's in his late 30s and probably won't be able to compete for much longer-I would have found some way to "throw" my last trick; especially considering this wasn't Kelvin's one and only chance to come in first place (he had already done it before).

[@steven4217]

Sora Shirai is such a hard worker. He wants the win so so bad and you can tell when considering all the risks he takes- he really puts it all on the line! I wanted Joslin to win but I’m so happy to see Sora get what he deserves!

[@PeterOrmiston]

Yeah I wanted joslin to take it. He was so good. But that last trick by the samurai was frikkin sick!!!!!

[@3mptyskull]

yeah.., needed a 9 to get the lead, but wanted a 9.5 nevertheless !! Best trick, best skate mentality.He deserves it !

[@Astrohhh]

Japanese skaters are just on a different level. They've completely taken over the sport and I'm here for it.

[@dealarr]

It's the seaweed that they eat. Japanese and generally Asians eat alot of Seaweed. Seaweed has lots of ammonia in it, which lowers the voltage required for electrolysis for hydrogen production in the gut. Hydrogen is incredible for the human body, it is the highest in production when we are toddlers and when we are young. It gets all messed up with modern eating. It improves brain function, is the catalyst for energy in the body, and reverses aging.

[@AngryWalter]

I ve supported them since i started watching the SLS. I remember Yuto s first SLS i think it was Munich 2017 or Lausanne with a second place. The girls are very nearly there too, they need being a bit more daring to tackle Rayssa and Chloe but they will get there

[@LiminalMan777]

Dude it's legit

[@AngryWalter]

GG SORA! This was such a good contest. I think yuto didnt expect his first trick to be an 8.7 and it made it more difficult for him. And Joslin, he finished the qualifies with like 5 9s in a row and went straight to an 8.9 and 5 other 9s! Thats almost 10 nines in a row, no bails. Congrats to everyone

[@depaulmadigan1993]

Finally goddamn sls, you guys are slackers, you know how hard it is to avoid everything on social media so I dont know who won so I can watch it fresh? Be quicker next time

Joslin doing it for the raddy daddies..legend

[@ItzBrxndonnHD]

joslin got robbed of a 9 on his first run idc what anyone says... they could've gave him the 9 flat

[@zodiacx2308]

Dude I totally agree I’m literally in disbelief on how he didn’t get a 9

[@JamesLove-eg1jd]

Bro definitely got a 9 overall solid run. Str8 up snub if you ask me 💯✅️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@AngryWalter]

Nothing would have changed that way

[@moonchees3]

9 is a clear cut off point. Everything has to be near perfect. That switch heel ender was unfortunately a tiny bit on the sloppy side so 8.9 is totally understandable from judging pov (coming from a huge Joslin fan btw)

[@ItzBrxndonnHD]

@@AngryWalter well of course obviously.. I was just saying what my opinion was that’s all.

[@freshzinn]

I'll root for Joslin and Decenzo on every single SLS from now on. THEY HAVE TO GET ONE !!!

[@tomkuzik7]

Appreciate the upload love getting to see these 🙏😤🙌

[@LiminalMan777]

Skating is so freaking good now, Sora hitting tricks like THPS2

[@black9085]

Really hoping joslin and decenzo wins one of these

[@AJG2649]

Yeh man

[@MOSTxDOPE]

its insane how often joslin clips but still rides away perfect like he didnt. dude commits everytime

[@Meeooowwww33]

Paul and Sean as a duo looking like Cotton and Pepper from Dodgeball. Straight up need to be introduced like we’re on ESPN 8 The Ocho.

[@zookyChill]

The way that Sora Shirai got his trick done on the last attempt, that's so amazing , I don't even think he could put that down, so much pressure there ,wonderfull, also so much respect to others skaters Joslin,Yuto,Midler...

[@Corinthians-kjv]

This comp was stacked ! Sora congratulations!

[@mikemelara9591]

Japan is on some next level. Daike…. Kaire… I don’t know if I’m writing those names out right but I’m sure daike ikeda and kaire netsuke are among a few of the Japanese top skaters that come to any skateboarders mind when they think of Japan.

[@bcoyne12345]

check out primitives latest full length if you haven't already, Aimu yamazuki and kyonosuke yamashita are killing it on the streets, japanese skaters are raising the bar everywhere fr

[@charlesdimos2617]

Joslin!!! 🎉

[@ToyTen]

Thank you for this joyfull moment Team !

[@Collin-ic9ct]

The level of skating is so insane. Nice to see DeCenzo absolutely killing it as well.

[@HechanovaArkitektura]

Sora's final trick was so clutch! well-deserved win.

[@misternewbould]

Malto is a great commentator.

[@SkateseenPh]

Underrated Midler!!

[@brandonmiranda3412]

grateful for the judges finally stepping up

[@LukeDwornikComedy]

I love that Chris says "f*cking beast" to Sora. All 3 of those guys skated amazingly.

[@DreadShredder11]

I genuinely respect this comp as an old school skater, you can tell it’s real judgment and fair play just by yuto’s first run that they gave a 9 and Sora who had a great run first go that they gave a 9.1. You can tell this comp is Fair and managed properly and it’s about real raw skate talent being displayed under pressure.😁👍

[@gradyturnbull1137]

Judging was WILD this round

[@Yuri_1JZ]

Betting on Felipe Gustavo missing all his tricks are the safest odds you’ll find in sports

Joslin like should’ve been 9.1, the nollie inward 180 should’ve been 9.2-9.3. And sora and yuto got 0.1-0.3 too much for every trick they landed

Absolutely

What a contest. great skating

[@La_Ferreira]

by far in top 3 for best SLS Final🥂

[@leefchapman]

Well deserved win - gripping final. Thanks SLS Toyko

[@MikeBusby3773]

That last attempt by yuto was so scary! He almost died, I'm glad he didn't slam. Sora Is a modern day cold blooded samurai! And Joslin is a beast! And descenzo is my old age so he deserves some serious respect for still being able skate with these guys.

[@mikemelara9591]

Yeaaa I couldn’t possibly imagine having his caliber skill at soon to be 39… just 3 months away. Even if I was to get back on a board to claim all of my flat ground skills would be a challenge I feel.

[@ZoiusGM]

Wdym he almost died? He wasn't close to hitting his head or anything.

[@AngryWalter]

Absolutely, respect to all of them, today was a great show

Stop blowing yuto he doesn’t flip his board down anything and plays it safe. The judges shafted Joslin like they always do. I can imagine people are getting tired of watching anymore with biased judges.

[@Glenn-hm8sb]

Shirai is insane.., but those tricks are harder to follow up.. But he is a powerful gambler..

seeing that slam by gonzalas in the super crown final was gnarly. dude took a spot from one of the japanese skaters and fucking slams harder than anyone has in the history of sls. crazy

[@duhrellrl]

Nah you’re biased m8. If you judge the runs trick for trick (what the judges should be doing) then yuto and sora’s runs come out a bit better.

[@pistolen87]

no, sora's tricks are more technical

[@nocturnalron69]

Joslin stay getting robbed

[@Skateboardfreakist]

no i think he deserved the 3rd place. Both Yutos and Sora's tricks were higher risk. Jumping down a long stair is less scary then doing blindsided tricks down these long rails and hubbas that both sora and yuto did. However i love that Joslin is the one jumping stairs so well deserved 3rd place.

[@pistolen87]

Joslin must improve his rails to become number one

[@r0mmst3rs]

I’m so sick of Joslin not winning simply because he is the only one going out there and going for broke with massive flip tricks while everyone else score hints with rail tricks. Wish they did a Comp where is was only flip tricks allowed. Joslin would punish them

So with scoring you can do the exact same run twice. Get a 9. Do the same run and change 1 trick and get a better score. Got it now
