    You wanted more, we got you more. Which Asian skater's style influenced you the most?

  • @halconsurf
    @halconsurf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    man, i cant stop watching these videos now that he is gone!.... so sad, rip Mr Grosso! we love u... :(

  • @motodorkjen
    @motodorkjen 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I really appreciate these two videos because growing up, I felt like I was the only Asian into skating and then I started seeing clips of Lincoln Ueda, Daewon Song, Christian Hosoi, and Eric Koston. I am, however, disappointed that female skaters weren't on the list. Peggy Oki was a pioneer back in the day for women's skating, and Allysha Le is ripping it up these days.

      good point... we definitely messed up there -

    being Asian on a skateboard in Colorado in the 90's was like being a alien.

    9:39 just saw my old Coeur d'Alene sk8 park. I learned to drop in on that metal half pipe. In the summer if you fell on it, you would slide on your melted skin. Man, good times!

    • @speedhead
      @speedhead 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      surprised, i believe he is Taiwanese , they showed a few pics but i guess he gets enough promotion LOL

    • @big3ye378

      Taking a stand against NIKE skaters is my guess

    • @rocferdable
      @rocferdable 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Koston was born in Bangkok, Thailand, so he's likely Thai.

    • @brycenielsen2919

    Sam Myhre was doing "willy grinds" on vert before Derek Williams so I'm told! In an old ad of Sam someone called it the "Sam" grind. But thats not for sure a fact that it was before but just what I'm told! Great episode!

    That Hartsel quote made me think of a good topic for an episode of this show: Best Quotes and Captions from mags and videos. "Ed "Eggs' Templeton got his nickname by frontside bluntsliding a carton of eggs without breaking a single one."

      @fintanoclery2698 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Monkstar1 Black Label had footie for a video that for numerous reasons wasn't getting finished/released, Lucero gave the footage to spitfire and they released it. There's more to it then that but that's a starting point.

    • @rocferdable
      @rocferdable 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ken Armstrong Yeah, I didn't know Kenny Anderson was part Japanese until a few years ago.

    • @KenArmstrong_
      @KenArmstrong_ 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      i thought he was half Korean ? I must have been oblivious , like i didnt ever consider and think Hawaiian skaters could be seen as asian skaters, then other so cal dudes i didnt know were asian this whole time. Even tho don nguyens names clearly asian , i always got the notion that he was native american? Im thinking now , was this so that he wouldnt be put on blast cause he's Asian ? you know , i also wish i skated like Kenny Anderson too , OG smoothest style!

    • @rocferdable
      @rocferdable 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I watched this video that was like a day in the life/interview thing from one of his sponsors, I think. He mentioned he was Japanese. I always thought he looked mixed, but didn't know with what.
