Japan Skate Tour with The Squad | Red Bull Drop In Japan Tour

Japan has exploded into the wider consciousness of the skateboarding world in recent years. Whether through the internet-busting antics of Gou Miyagi, the Far Eastern Skate Network’s distinctive and innovative video output, the lore of the Osaka Daggers or the domination of the women’s contest circuit, Japan is a bigger part of skateboarding’s cultural soup than at any time before now.
Within that context, it was perhaps inevitable that Red Bull’s world-cruising Drop-In Tour would rock up in the land of the rising sun having already blazed a trail through the US and Europe hitherto. August 2023, therefore, saw a grip of our international skate squadron assemble to put on two ballistic skate demos in the cities of Tokyo and Osaka and hit the banks, railings and assorted street furniture we could find along the way on a 500 kilometre whistle-stop tour of this fantastic country in the height of summer.
The demos at Tokyo’s Murasaki and Osaka’s Tiger Rack skateparks bookended the journey with a lot of excited Japanese skateboarders getting the chance to be up close and personal with Zion Wright, Ryan Decenzo, Torey Pudwill, Margie Didal, Alex Sorgente, Jake Wooten and Max Habanec in both cities, where a lot of new friendships were formed, autographs signed and stokage freely distributed in a tour that seems sure to become part of Japanese skate history. Watch all the excitement from a wild skatebarding roadtrip across summertime Japan up above.
The Red Bull Drop-In Tour continues: but where to, next?

As someone who lived for skating, now in my mid-30's, I cannot express how much respect and admiration I have for Decenzo and Pudwell. That frontside flip by Decenzo.... legendary.

[@smokeyfrog210]

That shit went hard forsure. I'm mid 30s myself and been a skater since I was 10 years old, I love this too. Wish I could still skate hard but I just roll around now and do a kick flip here and there every now and then.

[@firstlast4516]

Ryan and Torey are still ripping so hard!

[@luisfraga2514]

And they will continue ❤️‍🔥. Really appreciate how they show how AGE doesn’t determine what you’re capable of doing on your skateboard.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Skating in extreme heat is one of the hardest things. It just zaps your energy. It's dope Ryan reps Red Dragon 🀄 That crook Torey did around that curve rail was sick.

[@Jmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjm1]

Red Bull gives you aiiiids.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great video

[@shainedupuis2649]

Toreys kickflip over the rail still-shot is insane. Shows the instant he catches and how high and boned out he gets. 15:13

[@JosephACampbellJr]

Another One ☝️

[@MITUS]

Can't wait for the Sydney trip!

[@TundeEszlari]

Cool video.

[@thomaslobjois3981]

I don't understand how Torey can keep his beanie on in the Japanese heat.

[@tomwindsor7491]

Skate trips are the best!!

[@130world1]

[@notacloutchaser7407]

That camera though …. Reminds me of 1994.

[@ThisIsDownstate]

i've been living out here a decade and i can tell you that this summer was absolutely BRUTALLY hot and humid. The worst one i can remember. Massive props to these guys for shreddin' in that insane heat. I literally didn't go skate for 6 weeks because even at 6am it was just insanely hot and zapped my energy in ten minutes. Bummed that i missed the Jam in Tachikawa because of work grrrrr. Respect guys, that was an awesome video !

[@Mista_Gate]

[@patrikpanek1953]

[@cristianalejandrocastro1983]

[@stevenknoble1361]

I'm surprised they went to Japan with how strict the skateboarding rules are

[@skuiff7578]

[@EDCsteals]

Margie has always been super cool but man she’s been doing the same few tricks for like the last 6-7 years AT LEAST. 50-50 to kickflip, tre flip or heelflip out

[@ganta73]

RedBullは企業としてコーポレートコンプライアンスは、ここに日本においていったいどうなっているのいか理解できているのだろうか？グローバル企業としての在り方を問う。

[@adamjeria619]
