[@MikeyAce45]

@@phlogistonstudio8261 Yes. But starting from pinnacle (Mullen) makes it really hard to push thru. Ergo, you're making a generalization (which is already factually misplaced if not just being some wishful thinking) in a context where physics limits matter.

[@phlogistonstudio8261]

@@MikeyAce45 ok so physics is inarguable. Nobody will be traveling past the speed of light, transmuting materials, or breaking gravity. You’re right about a generalization, so I should add context. While sheer physics is limiting, physicality in the athletic sense isn’t. Recall before the 1940’s there was no physical possibility of a one minute mile till there was. Point being, will power, physical prowess, and mad coordination have a lot to say about the achievable, physics aside. Learning from what we see defines the next impossible thing. It’s the core of innovation and these kids have a whole life to innovate. But maybe their just parrots with no ideas and they just keep doing what’s done, time will tell.

[@jle1654]

Yuzuki Kawasaki is disgustingly smooth! These kids are a clear example of how the amazing Japanese people are the best at finding the things that their children gravitate towards naturally and nurturing the ones that they excel at. Some of the kids in this video could skate street along some of our greats here in the states in my opinion. Awesome video Jonny! Though everything has to come from somewhere, many cultures/lifestyles are truly borderless and are naturally loved and/or perfected by people of any nation, ultimately revealing that we're all the same thing with minor differences. This video was an excellent example of that! Thanks for making it!
