Japan is taking over men's street league skateboarding!!!

See where Aimu goes. I mean, I think the world wants to see this Varial heal. The best! It is the best. If you didn't see it happen live, you might think it's AI. Yeah, we have to get a slow-mo on that. Just look at how fast, and then it just glues to his feet. Fast flick. I guess, like, you could call him AI-mu. AI-mu? I like that. He's got it right there. Man, that Varial heal. It's outrageous. Best in the biz. 8.1. Alright, next in. Keyaki Ike. Coming in Nali. Oh no, what happened right then? That was like, Nali back 180. Switch front side. Feeble. I don't know how to react to that trick. That was really, really unusual. That's a really unusual, awkward trick that I've never really seen anybody do. Backside Nali over to switch frontside Feeble. These judges, what are they going to do with that? That's never been seen before, right? 8.9. That's what the judges do with it. Oh, the 540 lip slide. 270 lip, 270. There's a bunch of 540s going on. It's going to be a big score. 270 lip, and then he just pins it to the ground and pushes it around. Look at him just spotting, spotting where he is all the way around. Just keep turning those shoulders. Good work, Daiki. Daiki trying to up that paycheck. Get him, Sinclair. What's it going to be? 3. And Daiki, just like that, becomes a member of the club. Welcome to the club, young ledge. Take to the next round. Kairi Natsuki came out swinging 9.4. What does he got? Okay. Now that should be in the club. How does that stack up to what Daiki did? I mean, both big spins out. Both big spins out. You just don't see the heel flip back tail that often. I personally think heel flip back tail big spin is harder. I'm going to agree with you. He didn't land it as good as Daiki, but it has to be close. I think they're going to let him in. I think his name is on the list. They got to let him in. That'd be two in a row for him. No, that's wild. And a 9.3. I mean, we saw Yuto get four nines one time. Maybe he didn't have to dye his hair after all. All I'm saying is this is group number one. Heel flip back tail big spin. They're hungry, man. Okay, two more attempts. Top of the order, Towa Sasaki. Oh my god. I'm not even going to say what I think the score is, but I think we all know. That's nine club, bro. That's the club for sure. A hundred percent. Nollie and barley back to regular. Talk us through this trick. You don't see a lot of people do this. For a reason. It's so easy to lose control and miss the front smith or go to lip or whatever. It's an awkward tweak of your body. You got to pop so high. You got to spin and then rewind back out. There we go. That's what I'm talking about. 9.4. That is what I'm talking about. Towa right now closing that gap. He's got a 26.2. Sean, why do you think it is that these wild card skaters come in and they can just... You know, they just come in and they're so comfortable. Well, I mean, they've got a good footing of the course through that wild card jam. And then I think they're just hungry. I think it's a big opportunity and they know they have to take advantage. He is able to put down a nine or better. Coming in fakie. Switch. Oh! Switch heel flip front nose. Big spin out. What do you think, Sean? His dad is hyped. Riley, baby. And Mr. Onodera. They're like, we don't even know each other. Riley has that effect on people. Ginwu. Here we go. Switch heel front nose. Very, very hard trick. Big spin out. The only thing I can say that might come into the judges' heads here is just a lot of big spins out. It's getting a little repetitive with the trick out. But switch heel front nose is definitely crazy to go in. It should be a great score. Just don't know if they're going to dock it a touch. And I still think that could even be docked a little bit. He looks solid in practice. It's just not coming together for him. See if Yuto can go five nines in a row. Flash! I really didn't think we'd see that. No, I didn't. I mean, I guess I did kind of call the hub out, but I didn't see him try that at all. That is insane. Here we go. Yuto-nay-toe. Riley, 270. No slide. 270. That's crazy. Broke the internet with that one and then does it first try in the contest. 37.2 overall score. I mean... He has four nines. Well up in the nines. 0.8 ahead of Yukito. He still has two more attempts. That was shocking. Cavalierial sugar cane. Taking it back to regular. Cavalierial sugar cane. We've never seen it at SLS. That was totally stepping up the level of skating. Here's that visible replay. Talk us through this trick here. I mean, over 270, almost a 360 rotation before he lands into that sugar cane and then rips it all the way back 180 from that. Where do you think the score is going to be on that? He's dropping the 9.1, I think. That's a 9. If that's not a 9, I'm going to go down and see the judges myself. That was a gnarly trick. That is so incredibly difficult. 9.8! Look at that, Sora Shirai. 27.7. I mean, that right there is on par for some of the highest scores in street league history. And this is the qualifier, but that's what it takes. That is the level of trick that we're looking for. Well, that is the tech and the gnar. That was a full 360 rotation before he landed in the grind and then a full 180 ripped the opposite way out.
