Isamu Yamamoto World Freestyle Round Up '23 - 1st Place

[@JonnyPlaysKhaen]

Rodney Mullen is smiling for sure. The tricks with two skateboards is very creative and takes a lot of skill.

[@burger1113]

I normally would cringe at anyone mentioning Mullen with freestyle footage, but the difficulty and consistency on this one is definitely worthy of it. Damn

[@DJRockyStyles]

Well damn. He killed it last year, but this year he straight crushed that shit. What will we see next year. This dude is on another level. Powell Peralta knows how to pick ‘em for sure.

[@NkaVidsSkateboarding]

This was amazing to watch in Person 😎

[@mpancho808]

The crazy thing is he so young still. Can you imagine what he will come up with in the next decade? And then another after that! Amazing! Keep up the great filming ❤🔥🔥🔥

[@dieseldabz7104]

Anything is better in person except for going to the RMV😂

[@dieseldabz7104]

​@@mpancho808 As long as nothing happens to him so can continue skating for another 20-30 year's I agree

You can hear you laughing haha

Sounds like Nigel is loving it :)

Yeah there's literally only one guy who laughs like that hahaha. Awesome stuff.

Just having Fun 😊

[@DeemMalicious]

Powell is continuing to stay at the top of their game in every style of skateboarding and it's awesome! Promoting fresh, new talent while taking care of the old heads. Constantly innovating skate technology. Maintaining the old school ethos while incorporating new styles and ideas. It's truly a business model to aspire for. Thanks for the upload, guys and gals.

[@fernandoagustin2143]

Enhorabuena... sigue asi Isamu!🎉🎉🎉

[@LeetTrance]

I love Isamu so much, been watching him for years. There's one freestyle I can't find again though, and it's one where he uses two regular sakteboards, a longboard and freewheels all in one set. I watched it on facebook and didn't like it so its lost to the abyss :( Years back after i first saw him ride two boards at once I've nearly always carried two on me at all times, my special is doing a caveman and switching between them while riding

[@loganryansmith]

WOW. Well done.

Sick. Very creative. Well deserved win.

Pretty sick.. much love.. :)

[@dieseldabz7104]

Definitely talented kid. Few tricks hadn't seen before and liked the originality of his run and usage of 2 boards. Definitely not your typical freestyle run. Wondering what Andy and Mike Osterman think?

[@ryanrowe1975]

Well done

Powell used to make an amazing freestyle wheel that all of the street dudes used to ride and I was into it. Freestyle wheels for the win

Rodney needs a new distributor . . time to add a brand to skate one

[@NkaVidsSkateboarding]

What do you think this run should have scored ? I think at least a 96. 🤓

That was some actutate depictions, with flair, including originality. 98.

Per's freestyle deck outsells all of PP's current pro models except Andy and Cab but they can't put out a 2nd freestyle board? Also it looks like they fired a couple pros so there's room for some NEW product, right?

[@velofixed]

skateboarding it's no circus

[@kianr2200]

Talk about board control

[@TeddCookerly]

In my opinion, freestyle should only involve the use of one board. Including a second board makes it seem more like street skateboarding or a different activity altogether. The focus should be on utilizing the full potential of the one board available.

[@ragnarsilverboard6803]

2 boards = 2,000% stupiderest

[@linsch1064]

In my opinion freestyle should be freestyle aka you're free to do whatever you want as long as its impressive and on a board lul

[@dieseldabz7104]

Well that's your opinion

[@JesusProtects]

I mean, it's impressive but doesn't look smooth. I rather watch someone doing really smooth moves one one skateboard.

[@callumwoulahan7681]

This is beyond skill ofc but I prefered some of his runs from previous years. The two board stuff is bonkers but a lot of it didn't look that good to me, sort of awkward. I'd rather he use it as a flourish for a run and not a foundation. Still that's just my tastes and I do love anyone who gets weird with it. Maybe with more practice he could be as smooth with 2 boards as he is with one, which would be fucking bananas

[@Flatsumaki]

Needs to be disqualified for toe drag

[@bobafett5607]

Weak

[@wfmc202]

[@user-wl7dt1uw2e]

I dunno. I'm just not that impressed. If a guy in the 80's cannot really be bettered in 2023 there I think that says something. If this is impressive then go watch Rodney's old footage. Yes, nobody is Rodney. However, degree of difficulty was minimal in this run. Two skateboards? Not sure. Is that impressive? Sort of like a prop to me. Doesn't really do anything much for me. I think the issue is that nobody for the most part is doing freestyle. It's not advancing. In all other aspects of skating you can see evolution. I don't see any evolution here. Just viewers who haven't watched enough real freestyle when it was a thing. Aside from that, have a great day everyone!

[@jeromelongin6565]

you don't look up the 2 days of contest.sorry for you.
