I have been skating since i was 12 years old (im 40 now) and i can never do what that girl did. She has immense talent. Protect her at all costs!

[@nnoir]

times are changing old man

[@Archimedesu]

The vibes of this video were incredible hahaha

[@SuperDoctorprofessor]

Giger vids like a fresh lemonade next to a quiet stream

[@godtlik5077]

Right?? Was thinking the same thing. Just so good and relaxing to watch it's amazing

[@EmilWestrum]

Almost 18 minutes of pure skateboarding joy, love it! Most inspirational stuff I've seen in a looong time

[@drbjr8223]

bro on her last trick i said ''what the eff'' out loud, that little bounce to primo was so smooooooth. just amazing.

[@dunne4f]

Rodney Mullen will be amazed of this kid 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Ascendancy-]

i am really loving these Japan videos man. you are so talented, multilingual, piano, pro skater, amazing filmer and editor. wow

[@matthewcharboneau733]

That girl is amazing!!! Incredible!!!! I skated for over 10 years and could never do anything she just did!

[@elquepasadeti]

Ni aunque patines 50 años más! 😅

[@twt1524]

Same here! I skated for 15 years and if she’d have been skating at the same time, I could’ve spent more time doing something I was actually good at😂

[@michaelwaynemartin3291]

She has exceptional skate i.q.

[@Sammy31Dee]

Its like Japan is having its 90s era in skateboarding where all the kids are bout it....Its awesome...gonna be wild in a decade ...theyre gonna have insane comp tricks...already seeing some now

[@tungstenwhizard4361]

Also helped by the Olympics. So many young Japanese contestants ranked really well.

[@dvdnewman82]

In absolute tears especially from that wheel edge primo slide.. if thats what you call it. Great music too! Lots of great flip tricks too

[@TravisBlack]

that shit was bonkers

[@ChronicSkater]

1 foot Coconut wheelie

[@anemiapwns1]

Good Skateboarding, good vibes, and good editing. Way to go Mr. Giger.

[@coliimusic]

I've followed a lot of these kids for a long time already since they're so good at freestyle and its so cool seeing them with you Jonny😂😂

[@ottyo0512]

日本に来てくれてありがとうございます。スケートボードをおりて10年以上経ちますが、動画はよく見ます。 これからも動画を楽しませてください。

[@skatedad9794]

I want to learn freestyle skating now after seeing her skate. So good!

[@MPdub]

This is a video that makes me wish I could 'thumbs up' multiple parts. So many awesome moments.

[@random40s]

Absolutely crazy to see such huge talent for such young kids. Awesome skate scene there with the parents supporting the kids like that! 👍 👍

[@Deuce1550]

Thank you Johnny. I just watched this over breakfast with my 5&3 year olds. So inspiring to see and also share with the next generation.

[@Cavery1984]

Incredible video, I'm more than a decade removed from skateboarding but I felt this video in my ankles. Childhood is alive and well in Japan!

[@yannickvanhoof9328]

dude, this whole serie in Japan is AMAZING! thanks for sharing it

[@nomusician4737]

Kai Tanabe has got so much swag! Every time she lands something it is like "yeah, I know. I'm awesome." Oh, and her tiger socks had a f*ing tail! The other kids can't be any older than her and omfg!

[@nickhunsaker3810]

She is so good it's crazy and will only get better! Coming from a 31 year old man trying to get back into skating after a ten year hiatus don't know if I'm inspired or discouraged lol! Either way thanks for the awesome videos Jonny!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Incredible. Thanks for shining a light on these incredible kids and spreading joy. I'd love to see these kinds of vibes and attitudes spread to young skaters in the West.

[@noNdeSCRIpt732]

I'm in my 40's and don't skate anymore, but it was a big part of my life for almost 2 decades, so I like to revisit the community from time to time via youtube. Jonny's videos show up on my feed on occasion with perfect frequency (as the algorithm would have it) and I always watch. He's younger and focuses on the up and coming , but also presents with what I interpret as an appreciation for the previous gens insofar as production. It seems to be filmed, edited and scored in a way that is accessible to skaters of any generation and Jonny is crazy good! Quality.

[@Meet_Me_In_The_Pit]

I watched the 10 tricks she did a few times now and holy crap shes already at legendary status...put her in a new tony hawk game asap

[@tsloth1390]

Incredible skating and awesome skate community they have there! That girl needs heavy sponsorships if she doesn’t have it already

[@jimmyday9634]

Dam bro this video you put up is stupendous..that young lady is Rodney Mullen point 12 years old..so freaking dope my man!

[@mattscimeca4288]

the fact that a 12 year old would think that it's a reasonable idea to throw a 360 down that bank is insane to me... these kids are seriously on another level

[@pascalschwager1467]

Einfach Jonny vor der Haustür am skaten... bin hingegangen mit meinem Hybrid Skate/Longboard und hab um nen Trick gebeten... Dankeschön, made my day 👍

[@RustyGonzo]

Very cozy video! And that girl's flatground is insaaaane! And for her age?! Jesus, lol.

[@TheIggyTech]

These kids are mind blowingly good. Great vibes and editing, enjoy your time in Japan!

[@Shuimizu]

Johnny's skating is what I sought for, mastery in flatgrounds

[@BossmanRich28]

Dude!!! Her freestyle is ridiculously nastyyy 💙💜🔥🔥

[@MrVert83]

Those flip outs were jaw dropping!

[@coyster530]

That girl is amazing and not just for her age she's a badass skater

[@nomenestomen3452]

Wow, this girl is truly a future Olympic contender and will win multiple international contests as an adult for sure if she keeps this pace and passion! 😲🤩

[@morgellon7877]

So cool to see skateboarding be at a place like this in 2023. Kids I've never heard of doing stuff I thought was impossible 20 years ago. Girls throwing 720's on vert. So much awesomeness. Japan definitely has a unique skate scene; a lot of the coolest stuff I've seen for a minute has been coming out of Japan. Also, was that a crooked to nollie hospital Giger threw so casually? He really is the modern-day Rodney Mullen. I say that as a long-time Mullen fan.

[@chasingsunset9801]

It's really inspirational when kids show us possibilities...especially disciplined and well mannered kids...

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Much love and respect to you and your channel Jonny Giger. I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends and I hope that all of your dreams and aspirations come true and that you are safe during your travels, vacations, adventures and while skateboarding and recording your videos and going live on KZbin.

[@devdeque7846]

she's got the touch. the vibe for sure.

[@crustophiles]

Magnificent video. Amazing skating across the board. Thanks, Jonny!

[@evolblue8614]

You're videos are always so well put together and fun to watch dude.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Believe in yourselves and each other and never give up on your dreams and aspirations and remember to be kind and uplifting to each other and open minded and genuine and respectful and humble.

[@LordVedad]

that was so wholesome and pure. Thank you for sharing this!

[@danielr9112]

Dude great videos! And truly inspirational. I haven't skated in the last 5 years and now jumping back thanks to your awesome videos. Feels amazing, thank you!

[@njkf]

So cool, these kids shred and damn she is talented !

[@zelgaming3647]

Hey jonny I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do man. I am old skater I just started picking it up again. Last summer I watched your how to do a hard flip video and it took me a while to learn. But I finally landed it and now i know again why I love skating so much. I have so much love for skating and you give off the vibe of skaters back in the day. It's the true passion and feel of everything skateboarding is. So thank you man. I'm going to keep skating and doing what I love. I hope to meet you one day and lay down a game of skate. When I get better. Till then keep kicking ass man and thank you again.

[@shonentokyo]

日本へよこそう！ Hope you’re enjoying Japan!

[@hokage0092]

Shes got the most "flow like water" style ive ever seen. Beautiful ❤

[@advaitawho]

Love it, great skateboarding and Johnny ! Sick! ☯

[@D.M.D.17]

Jonny you are hands down one of my favorite skaters and I've always dreamed of skating in Japan! Love this video man, thanks for posting

[@Catthepunk]

I LOVE the pacing in this video!

[@matthewzimmers1097]

Love this channel

[@Skakovsky]

Not sure if I can reach even 10% of their skills during the whole life. UNBELIEVABLE

[@bflippsytrance]

Such skill at such a young age! Jawdropping. Also great their parents are supporting them all the way. Nice video! Thanks!

[@adamjohnhurley]

I can't believe what I just witnessed. Absolutely unbelievable.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

I hope that all is well for everyone here and I hope that you all have a great day today.

[@celestialaeonproject]

Oh man I miss Japan so much

[@jurgenwerndl1139]

Deine Videos holen mich jedes mal so extrem ab....👍❤️🇦🇹 Grüsse aus Österreich.

[@panic_dodge]

Beautiful scenery, amazing tricks and perfect editing. 👍

[@OM3N1R]

Jonny learning Japanese is awesome. Japan is absolutely dominating, and I love to see it. They are pushing skating into the next era

[@dYna77]

Love all of this! ❤

[@adoredpariah]

SO impressive, great to see the parents supporting it too, I hope the world can recognize the skill involved here and make some great events for all the kids skating their hearts out like this. Enough with the toxic bs, time to respect the form.

[@EyeOpenerProd]

Jonny, a pretty decent skateboarder, humble guy, friendly and fun to be around, and WHO SPEAKS JAPANESE. 私はジャンニの友達になりたい。Kudos to you, Jonny!

[@lacabala31]

Incredible. I have enjoyed it like the old Mullen videos...

[@rollingfunskateboarding561]

[@ryryzam79]

[@David-kc2sj]

[@AbenteuerWildnis]

[@jackbuff_I]

[@honza8313]

Amazing, such a good vibes and unreal skills

[@krono5el]

The new generation is certainly here, now all we need is a wicked Skate anime with the energy of 'The Kids Story' in the Animatrix : D

[@CR00SWIJK]

Japan looks so peacefull

[@hajuto6719]

These kids are living a dream. What a great place to skate and live.

[@shalabazertheboltstruck8645]

One leged coconut wheelies? I almost threw my board out the window

[@xvln]

What a dream session!

[@ryanrowe1975]

Good skateboarding sessions

[@srbrunoav]

Gotta love these kids! 😊

[@gerryfriedle416]

I like the japan videos

[@hajuto6719]

14:07 Amazing trick, watched it multiple times

[@mihancic]

Wow, that was amazing!

[@dxsaigon]

@jonnyGiger is that a pump track in the background? I'm looking for parks in Kansai that would be fun play on my surfskate. If you've seen any good bowls or pump tracks while you were here, I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

[@E7point4]

Mullens' vibes with said young grasshopper. I know her parents are proud.

[@beetsmcskeets4333]

Giger is the word. And those kids are sooo dope

[@arikuusela6716]

These kids are really good!

[@mho...]

Dayum Girl! Rodney would be Proud!

[@nickolascuartero7854]

@Johnny Giger What brand ankle stablizer do you use eveyone ive tried feels funky in my shoe and well im not getting any younger.

[@signalpathproductions]

Do you always skate with ankle stabilizers? what brand do you use? I sprained my ankle really bad last year then re sprained it less sever multiple times after. guessing it never healed proper. I think i need some of those stabilizers.

[@trickiscool]

On top of the skating, this video was edited perfectly.

[@NaTas57250]

Full love on this mood

[@MrBlackbergk]

Her one footed coconut wheelie in the beginning

[@drutang]

talented kids!! 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@morgellon7877]

What was the trick Yuzuk Ikarin threw over the pq to flat? 8:13 That kid has awesome style and a cool bag of tricks. I thought one of those was a 360 pressure, which is normally a trick I don't think looks good, but he made it look super cool. Unless that was something else. Edit: the 360 pressure was the previous time stamp; the question was about the trick at 8:43 How does he make 360 pressures look so cool? Holy crap, the one at 11:35 was bonkers. I used to do some similar tricks i didn't know the names for back in the day. I really like that idea of not popping into flips; something different.

[@unoit4715]

That girl is amazing!!
