that trick is cool and kinda new but it's really not that hard. every one does switch heels and a switch front nose is basically a backside tailslide stance. I don't think the trick is that insane. With that being said, he definitely does get robbed other times. And also, raimu is the one who really got robbed this time. Switch 270 front blunt much rawer than nyjahs halfcab flip crook.
@@Subaruuu12 he's right. I would need 100 years to land nollie big heel back tail and like around 300 years to land half cab flip crook. But trick difficulty is extremely subjective at this level of skateboarding.
This was the most exciting best trick contest in a hot minute! I called Keyaki winning when i seen him on this list. Cordano is wild! Those young japanese stunners are so technical its like stuff we dreamed was possible but couldnt do it 20+ years ago before they were even born. P.S. i thought the announcers did better than they have in the past.

@@nedtempleton4873 you're correcting people sure but it comes across preachy and know it all. Also, half cab and full cab are terms used by many people including pros. It makes total sense. Nollie cab is obviously not a thing but half cab/full cab is fine.
@@englishharry594 Wrong. 'Nollie cab' is also used by many people, including pros. However, it is incorrect. 'Full cab' is also incorrect. It's *Caballerial. *Caballerial is the only correct term for a Fakie backside 360.
Iv been entertained by Nyjah since he was what 13 14, and I also watched the flying tomato threw his years of dominants, just tell Mr.Huston he is better and has more summer medals and be done with it lol 🤘
Cordanos hardway 270 to board is absolutely diabolical. This was a WILDLY UNDERRATED and under appreciated stunt. This is a Tony Hawks Pro Skater Special move GTFOH.
cordono had gold twice if he can clean up the lands.. the hand on ground and the other he was wobbly and on his toes.. Ike trick was CLEAN all the way through. that’s all Cordono needed
I wish that we could watch the competition with full sound but without the commentary, because they talk too much and they ruin it for me. Just show the runs and the scores with the crowd interaction.
The dead silence from the announcers when a nollie big heel back tail goes down was crazy… if it was woo they would have lost their minds. That always irritates me about commentators, they always put way too much favor into a few skaters.
These announcers are really bad. They don't even get the stance right half the time. Also in the eliminations the man kept referring to keyaki as Toas brother😂
Why is Raimu's SW 270 Bluntslide 5th? It's better than Nyjah's Half Cab Flip Crooked and on par with Cordano's Fakie 270 Noseslide. Ginwoo's SW Heel FS Noseslide is also better than Nyjah's trick (and better than Cordano's Fakie Heel FS Boardslide which scored higher than Ginwoo). And is Ginwoo's SW Heel FS Noseslide worse than Cordano's Fakie 270 Noseslide and Fakie FS Flip Noseslide? They scored Ginwoo higher than Raimu. I call this bad judging.
@@danielsmekss6453 yeah, I think cordano s tricks, specifically the fakie 270 tail is absolutely ridiculous and deserves to be right up there. I agree though that nyjahs trick shouldn't be podium. I can't do any of the tricks that they did but half cab flip crook feels like, the least scary one to go for out of all of them.
Nah, fakie 270 tail is arguably the hardest trick done imo. I would say the switch 270 blunt and the cab hurricane should've been 3rd place contenders though.
@@englishharry594 My question is-what's better-a 270 slide or a SW Heel slide? I think it's a tough question. But for me those are better than Nyjah's trick.
I don't understand japanese but when he crossed his arms while looking at him after the kid missed the trick he looked kinda pissed, also kid looked like he doesn't even wanna talk to him between every try.
@@ahmedabouayyad witnessed in fact similiar behaviour at another event, kid wanted to high fives him after landing a trick, but he waited for the score to do so, it seemed and he didn't do it in the end. It's speculation, but maybe cause he was disappointed. Japanese mentality is harsh. Not allowed to show emotions like crying in the public or at work. they even got specialists who can be hired by firms to make their employes crying with some fictionated story with the intention make them work better after beeing mentaly relieved. insane.
@@ahmedabouayyad Asians are usually tough and strict yes, and maybe some of them are harsh, but maybe not all of them. I'm not saying he's not getting any pressure but we're speculating based on body language and there may be more to it than that. I'm not going to watch it again to check if he's getting what looks like pressure or not and how much if he is but a little bit of pressure is good because it can make you perform better. If he's getting that it reflects why he's so good and is such a 'machine' for his age. And you know how teenagers are, they don't want to talk to their parents in public and they don't want to be seen in public with their parents. He is 14, maybe turning 15 this year, approaching the time of initial teenage rebellion. Also, Ginwoo may not like the cameraman filming that close.
When did the names of these tricks become so long... It just sounds so weird when a trick is called a front side kickflip nose grind fakie shove it out into a backflip corkscrew. Or at least that's how ridiculous it sounds
That's exactly it he's a kid he won't be doing those tricks much longer when gets older and bigger. Less body length less to spin board around lower center of gravity everything comes easier when smaller
The commentary for these always sounds so corny. It sounds like they are trying to get your grandmother to like "extreme" sports or something. How does this continue to keep happening? Doesn't anyone say something?
X games really need better announcers. They don’t know half the tricks. Hire some old pro skaters to commentate that know the tricks and difficulties of these tricks.
No way they even had a replay and couldn't call that fakie laser flip, first she called it a fakie big heel then a nollie variel, anyone that knows anything about skating could've told you that was a laser flip
@@BOOSETO naw she's really good typically. It's not easy to have the stance of every skater she commentates on memorized. I see people get stances wrong all the time.
@WitlessMean she said "nollie cab" in the best trick section. And fs and bs aren't a skaters stance. She's clueless.. Don't defend this spit in the face of skateboarding. Your avg 13yo at a skatepark could commentate better than this.
Hearing "your next level" from nyjah, is better than gold. Imo
if u understood, yeah then for sure!
Truth
Sounds like my aunt and uncle are seeing skateboarding for the first time
Dude I'm probably older than them and I feel the same way
im 34 and they make me feel like a teenager
it bothers me so much lol why not geoff and malto at least?!?!
😂
These announcers are trash..
i feel like ginwoo never gets any love in ANY comp hes ever in... always get lowball scored. and i think that switch heel front nose was super gnarly
Facts
It was sick. But I don’t think it was better than the top 3. Maybe 3rd at best.

Halfcabflip crook is way heavier than nollie bigheel back tail, skateboarders know!
@@jeroenretsok well it depends , each of them couldn't do the other ones trick. sw heel fs noseslide was insane too
@@jeroenretsok Wrong! Try a Halfcab kickflip crooked grind and then try a Nollie bigspin heelflip backside tailslide, the latter is way harder.
