Tampa Am 2024: Juni Kang's Winning Run

[@ramseyaaronr]

The emotions at the end were so real. Love it

[@Sounds71109]

Came here to say the same. A moment he'll remember forever.

[@cult2]

of course its am

[@TheBrechbuehler]

@@Sounds71109 he'll show this to his grandkids. "look, that was me!"

[@soundsbitter]

The sound of the nollie 270 heel board and the way he clapped and was hyped was awesome I love when I see excellence like this

[@Mr_Zzzeee]

wow. that run could have won Tampa Pro

[@igomk]

It has been quite some time since Tampa Am has the same level as Tampa Pro, or even higher. What defines Am and Pro is beyond what you can fit in a 60 second run :)

[@MickyThunderV]

Am runs are kinda better than the pros aren't they?

[@brunofranca3718]

No doubt!!!

[@HexYzeE]

Am have nothing to lose, they just go all in. While pro's have nothing to prove they already did it

[@kenji875]

This might be the best run ever done to be quite honest

[@Cloax]

Those tears at the end Gave me tears!!!! fucking shredddddder!! big GRATS JUNI!!!

[@PeepGamePopoff]

Nah fr

[@zoltthebolt217]

for real, you can tell how much practice went into this moment!

[@blance2069]

Yupppp 😂

[@NickZoOoR]

What the actual fck, nollie 270 heelflip backlip in a run!!! Insaneeee, he's got a serious Yuto vibe to him

[@Mephistobr]

It`s a bs boardslide. Not that it takes anything away from that insane trick.

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

@@MephistobrSure?

[@amundruu]

@@Mephistobr nah its a switch fakie frontside 270 heel to switch lip to switch fakie

[@tmjones212]

@@Mephistobr I'm not an expert but if a lipslide is when the back truck goes over the rail, how is it even possible to 270 boardslide without both trucks going over the rail

[@Makabert.Abylon]

Lipslide you spin away from the rail, he spins towards the rail so it should be nollie 270 heel boardslide right? If you would have done the same trick but with the rail frontside id say its a lipslide

[@tysonswanson]

whatever bro told him before he rolled in, it worked lol

[@Jas0nj0nes1]

He said “it’s a long flight back to Korea”

[@sloshercd]

He said "we have your whole family underneath the kickers, if you don't win we're torching the place"

[@OhhBrace]

@@Jas0nj0nes1 hes korean

[@JonasPolsky]

"Land every single trick"

[@BeeWilliamsSkate]

“If you no land run, whole family disown you”

[@zdzichuZ]

Tampa am is the best competition of the year. The amount of moments I was amazed by skills and steez were uncountable. You see so many new faces with the level (or even better) of SLS pros.

[@RexDavis415]

Facts. The Ams are hungry for that #1 spot and more exposure.

[@troidberg]

Damn am is the only comp i watch

[@Skateboardfreakist]

totally agree, The Peru Crew, the Brazil crew, the Japan crew, Some French, so sick to see the young guys shredding

[@Nomad_Skateboarding]

I love that the hype just kept him going for 3 more bangers! That was awesome!

[@kevinVersus]

His special bar was full

[@lvparm]

This had me going “Okay Nice.. Alright, Damn!!! Ohhh what the fffff And then finished by 😢

[@rafsoto]

That raw emotion at the end! Last run of the finals to wrap up the 30th Tampa Am! What an electric weekend, so hyped for the broadcast so I could tune in from Vermont!

[@rastaskate4546]

The first time in years I have seen a contest with a CLEAR winner. That run was flawless and very versatile.

[@pierrearr]

@@rastaskate4546 Not that clear tbh. Taiga had an insane run as well and he flowed way better because he did transition tricks.

[@DoomedCDN]

I have probably watched this 10 times. This is just so magical and inspiring. I really hope he gets signed with some top tier Sponsors and starts putting out parts. Hell, head straight to SLS because that run is 9 club material.

[@mrboics]

Run was an absolute banger!

[@AllHandlesTaken91]

Holy crap the stamina and technical ability is crazy. Such a young guy too. The raw emotion at the end was so cool to see, too. Congrats dude that was very well earned

[@kundalinimacaroni]

this is legit better than any tampa pro run ever lmao

[@Kvargkvarg]

Pros tend to play it safer. 🤔

[@zszszszszszszszzszsxzszszz6248]

Fax 😂

[@tomlotti240]

He looked so stoked. Nice run.

[@zszszszszszszszzszsxzszszz6248]

Nice?? Nice????

[@DoomedCDN]

This is special. This provides the goosebumps. This provides the energy. This is skateboarding. This is also the next evolution of skateboarding. This kid is going to be a big name in the coming years. Mark this. Magic happening at a magical place. During a magical event. During a magical time. The future of skateboarding is oh so bright.

[@johnperry3918]

That might be the best run I've ever seen at Tampa

[@ErikHill1]

Pure heart. That dude deserved it. WOW.

[@crondigady]

That is the best run I've ever seen in the contest's history IMO. Am or Pro

[@pierrearr]

It's the best run in any contest ever

[@mylast949]

this is tastefullness run

[@joshjones6254]

ginwoo vs juni hmmmmmm

[@Yungbeck]

Goosebumps AND tears? Nah this one got me

[@MarginWalker]

Well-deserved Juni! Glad I was able to make it out there and watch it live.

[@DenielCramer]

This is the best contest run that has ever been done in skateboarding history. Absolutely insane

[@MaatStile]

[@Skateboardfreakist]

[@toshioyamada3311]

I'm balling over here!

[@someoneelse293]

[@Lostin2024]

“That went hard” would be an understatement!!

[@AnthonySal]

What. A. Run. His excitement and emotion at the end says it all. Big ups to him man. Well deserved.

[@rahansk8200]

Tampa is the most important competition in my eyes. I've been watching her since her debut. 411 and now ytb.

[@butwhytharum]

The luan effect, just keep going till you cant the banger for the timed run was nuts my jaw dropped.

[@Getithowyoulive863]

That was probably one of the best skatepark of Tampa contest runs I've ever seen and I've been watching it for 15 years. Pro or Am. That's just my opinion hell yeah this dude needs to be pro now.

[@so.topzera]

Awesome, bro! 🔥🛹🤘

[@ddean8395]

[@donovanhays]

Fckin insane run 🔥🔥🔥

[@adrianp5465]

Parts of that run looked like someone playing a skate video game for the first time, a bit janky, but still good.... then it all goes a bit "move over Yuto, there's a new guy in town"

[@magicgenius45]

SICK!!!!

[@G00s7-i3x]

Love it

This was a great ending to a great few days
