6:42 It's funny how Jasper falls off, and Hyojoo just runs after her long board. Priorities 🤣

[@chouettemachin7361]

Frank M I noticed that too !!! I laughed so much seen that 😂😂😂 imagine her choose between board and boyfriend 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tawaifu760]

As an skater yes borad comes first always 🤣🤣

[@oreoorva]

Lol she's probably worried it'll fall into somewhere or hit someone. He didn't fall badly anyway.

[@r8bior]

I thought that was funny too

[@ptiotfromage5071]

One time i tried to teach my gf how to longboard and she was falling so i catched her, (normally i would run to the longboard when i teach someone) long story short my longboard has now a big dent in the nose cause it hits the curb. You can't imagine how hard it is to see your longboard damaged, if you're not an owner of it ahah

[@ammonha]

@@ptiotfromage5071 Something similar happened to me and now you've got to look at that dent for the rest of your boards lifespan. Sucks :'(

Lmaoo

[@yukuhana]

11:56 "I don't want people to see me and get encouraged to just irresponsibly quit what they're doing right now to chase their dreams." Good reality check. Not everyone could work out as well as she did. It's important to make that leap only after you do well and see prospect to succeed.

[@vivoslibertos]

Just like any korean HRD says, you're not trying hard enough, you lack of effort, and you're an ungrateful being it's always easy to get replacement. I bet she had this hardships when she quit.

[@stochastic24]

Lots of people have been successful otherwise. Bill Gates comes to mind.

[@CynicalDuty]

@@stochastic24 Bill Gates worked his ass off though. It's all about hard work and work ethic. Most people who wish to follow their passions aren't trying hard enough.

[@imiande5417]

They picked such a great guy for this- he's so sincere and had no qualms about a girl being better than him at something... and likewise, she's a confident teacher.

[@pepelepep8848]

Props to her brother for convincing her parents to let her pursue her dream

[@user-os7be5zn7i]

[@ayakra7441]

It's funny when the host fell and instead of going to help him she went running to catch her longboard

[@batmanlikespizza2541]

The board was still rolling and he wasn’t badly hurt.

[@zozoc5795]

Comedic - I laughed so hard.

[@dyjixgraff9474]

Rider reflex

[@fuzetsu]

🤣 Funny, but definitely rider reflex. Falling is expected and running over isn't going to help. A fast rolling board on the other hand could mean it going into water, the road, someones shin, etc.

[@MllesBrash]

As someone who knows how to longboard he did so so well for his first time trying!!!

[@nofanfelani6924]

@danturbo316 I tried skateboard once, can't even last 3 seconds on top of it.

[@squiggs1002]

If he had skateboarded as a kid he would have looked way better. It was painful watching him fall just going in a straight line .

[@Mharriscreations]

Yeah he did good for the first time. It usually takes most people who start later at least a day to learn how to stand and ride on the board without many issues.

[@wennmagdatanzt3333]

To be honest, I've started longboarding because of Quarantine and I'm like a week in now ( I do it about an hour per day) and I was way worse than jasper to begin with, now I can do carves and I'm starting to learn some easy steps - it really just takes time and patience to be honest

[@laurenchung7975]

It’s actually not that hard I just tried for my first time today and I can turn and go in a straight line

[@claylover9845]

When she suddenly pushes him......lmao!

[@zozoc5795]

Lol

[@JustDebz]

She's looks so happy and free on that long board. Her answers are also so poised and realistic. A lot of people on KZbin tell you to quit your day job to follow your dreams, but this girl realizes that's not always realistic for everyone-very mature.

[@oiification]

She just gives it an air of elegance and beauty.

[@Krob039]

What I most appreciate about her is that younger generations are bringing back old school stuff and making it popular again, by adding their own touch and style to something that use to be so fun for me as a kid and even earlier generations...

[@dev_minsu]

[@glenninn]

What is very telling in this video is that HyoJoo found herself in the activity. It wasn’t like she knew before she started long boarding that it would become this huge passion and life assignment. She spoke wisely about not chasing dreams because they may not really reflect who you are. Try different things that will give you a path to find the thing that resonates with your character. A very poignant video this one…!

[@sudharanikb4331]

Very Well Said Dear.... You Expressed It In A Better Way..... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@john78tv]

It's incredible she's been doing this without wearing any gear and not getting hurt.

The fact that they went straight to tricks and positions and it took me rough 6 hours to just just get kinda comfortable on the board Conclusion: get comfortable before you do tricks, that way it will be WAY easier!!

[@dylanvickers7953]

She’s more comfortable on a long board than I am on my feet, she’s just so damn natural and playful.

[@meh4062]

What a cool brother she has. Pretty meaningful considering how strict Asian parents are/can be.

[@KorehannahBuitenlander]

I’m so jealous that she has almost zero bruise on her legs while longboarding amazingly and gracefully . I got all the bruises, pains and shames after 15mins skating...😭😆

You say you wanted to know what you looked like longboarding. You are the essence of style and femininity. You float and sway with the wind. I so enjoy watching you. Good job young lady.

[@riss337]

Followed her immediately when she first went viral. She's inspired so many people to try longboarding 💕

[@littlesailor1533]

the longboarding might look easy, but don't be mistaken this is really hard

Longboard dancing is hard, but cruising on a longboard is very easy it takes like a week to learn basics

I’ve been watching her longboard dance for about 2 years and I can’t get enough of her🤍 love you Hyojoo

[@tongsllc]

4:33 I love it when she pushed him - to find out his stance.

I remember seeing her video when it went viral. I know it's hard work, but she made it look so effortless. And Jason, you were doing great!

Aw man. She almost cried while explaining the situation with her parents 🥺 Parents can either crush your dreams by giving you a reality check, or support you fully. There's never anything in between. 😞

[@Yatsua]

When I first saw her videos, I was really amazed by her moves and I really wanted to try longboarding as well ! Many years passed and I still haven't tried it but I still think about it. And it was so sweet of her brother to defend her ! I'm sure she is way happier now and wish her success :D

[@mel_sj]

She went for the longboard instead of the guy when he fell haha

[@disneytwiLOVE]

I like was she said: "I don't want people to see me and get encouraged to irresponsibly quit what they're doing right now to chase their dreams...After trying all I could career wise, I thought it was time to try something new". Great answer!!

She looks so beautiful and free as she glides along. Like a moving piece of artwork. Enjoy your life.

[@nataliaoc2877]

Such a nice girl. She looks so cool and elegant in her skateboard!!!

[@soapfoam]

Those "step 180's" she does remind me of the old school freestyle stuff that Rodney Mullen did. I think the only problem the interviewer had was trying to learn that many things in one day. Just learning to push while keeping balance can take a while. I'd also love to see Hyojoo out of her element on a shortboard, trying to learn an ollie or a drop-in.

[@GoodtoGo8]
