Miyu Ito is really progressing. Has very good style with a Pamela Rosa like fast style, great consistency and good technical trick selection. Well deserved win. She made history as a rookie.🎉
Yeah Miyu showed some great progress at WST finals. She had the aggressive Pamela Rosa energy, went very fast on the course and used the course more like blunt stalls on the quarter pipe etc instead of stepping off and did flip tricks I’m so glad for her winning Gold as a rookie, she didn’t make it to the Olympics with so many people competing for 3 spots but man did she do well here. Her 2nd and 3rd runs were flawless, I loved seeing how much the crowd cheered for her ending line. 🎉
@@Heavilymoderated it’s funny how they all have different styles. Momiji: hands down by side relaxed like aneuan Dixon Yumeka Oda: She always crouches long before she pops the board, with her hands clenched into a fist low down almost at board level. Liz Akama: She bounces a lot like she’s on a trampoline before every trick. Like how someone would prep themselves when trying to hop over a wall. But I also like her high consistency, no one else smashes fs 270 switch board and flat ground fs big heels like she does in a run bolts. Funa Nakayama: She is like paige. Funa when skating has a tendency to hold her arms far ahead of her like she is pushing a shopping cart. But to be honest after seeing her heelflip to back lip final try at the WST final in Budapest I think people should cut her a break for her style, she’s a high tech queen! Paige: As stated it’s strange that she used her arms almost as if she’s only just stepped on a skateboard, while simultaneous skating switch in a more proficient manner than most of the other skaters. With how she used her arms it’s always a shock when she lands a totally clean and steely crook grind etc
It's awesome to see how much Paige has improved over the last year! She's looking so much more comfortable and busting out some sick tricks! It's only a short matter of time until she is winning golds! 🙏🔥
The Japanese skaters just skates at such a high level of professionalism. Their entire runs are all shredding. Good showing from many skaters but these top 3 are really amazing
Feel like Leticia has maybe a year or 2 left. She hasn't really brought anything new to her runs. Same tricks for 10 years. The new generation has already passed her up.
They passed her years ago I really think they invite her for her popularity/media presence and just probably to support and show up for the youth which isn’t a bad thing. Didn’t watch elimination but idk if she should make the final event lol still a fan of course
The thing is I don’t understand it… She has skated for more than ten years she has total board control and feel. There’s nothing stopping her drilling a few hours a week and learning to kickflip fs boardslide. Nothing stopping her learning fs blunt shuv out. Nothing stopping her doing the fattest kickflip over the funbix, She just couldn’t be bothered to keep evolving. If leticia put in half the work Nyjah does she’d still likely have won medals including gold at times. She’d be one of the top skaters and the nyjah of the women’s best skaters even if it’s only a few moves she uses every contest. It’s a waste of talent. Sad thing is Aori Nishimura loved skating and would probably have done that but she tore her ACLs twice and never got close to her original leg strength and had to stop skating contests at the same level as she physically Can’t a tragic story,
Am i tripping or is leticia not even manualing on top of the bus, looks like the tail is touching all the way. Compared to margie who actually manuals. She really lost it.. too busy being an influencer now and racing cars, too bad, if she still skated much and actually learned new stuff then maybe she could keep up!
@@hevvyserve She doesn't skate anymore, why would she learn new tricks? She has paved the way, now it's time for the younger generation to step up the game.
@@jakubbriza7274obviously she still skates. She made it to the women’s final in x games. You ain’t going to the finals if you ain’t skating. You gotta be skating quite a bit.
@@Blane_be_fishin Have you seen the competition here? All the good female skaters are concentrating on Olympics. Where is Rayssa, Chloe, Momiji, Funa, etc?
I have been a fan of X Games forever. That said, I have a couple of questions. Grinding. When they're approaching a rail, why are they only grinding approx 2 feet of it? The guys do this, too. Do they not have enough space to gain speed and grind the whole, or at least half the rail? The ramps in the corners. They're not using them for tricks. They're using them to "reset". Again, I've seen the guys do these things, too. No shade meant. I'm curious. Thanks 🙂
you need a lot of speed to grind the whole rail and that is just harder and more risky. the ramps and quarter pipes in the corners are mostly used to turn around which i find unfortunate... i guess people dont want to risk it with a quarter pipe trick since it is not technically part of the street skating discipline. but when they do tricks on the quarter pipes, like miyu did the blunt 180, it gets rewarded by the judges.
precisely. she was the most dominant at the time. now that the Japanese came to the competitions, she had no chance against them. plus she’s getting older
I can tolerate the ridiculously amateur skating from the girls but I can' t tolerate the non-stop vomit inducing pandering, patronizing and excuse making from these dishonest politically motivated announcers.
@@MH-wt4yr like 5 years ago a fs lip slide or gap fs 180 would win the women’s contest, you’d have to listen to announcers hyping up an Ollie. Now the ladies start out runs with kickflip fs board, they have a deep bag of tricks. At WST FINALS in Budapest Funa finished off with a heelflip back lip. There were mantle flips into slides and grinds. A few years ago at SLS malto doing a flip out of a crook had the crowd screaming, now you have Momiji Nishiya who would also do the same trick in her runs. Come on bro, denigrating the women at this point is rich. They grew massively, with Japan leading because the women are treated equally in Japan. At the skateboarding clubs the older people encourage the girls just as much as the boys. Even now by next Olympics it’s going to be insane because atm the 10 year olds that will be around the age of this lot in for years are showing a higher baseline, showing they use switch as much as regular.. I’ve seen video of some random totally unknown 12 year Japanese girl doing an Ollie LATE BACK FOOT TRIPLE FLIP up a ramp as if it was nothing. I have a feeling when women’s skateboarding grows even more in a few years, you’ll still be ragging on them man. Between that and you being the lone person complaining about “politically motivated announcers” it feels like you have a big chip on your shoulder and have no real love for skateboarding.

I’m surprised they keep inviting her
@@DJG623 because she sells
She's 100% scraping across the entire bus. It's a little embarrassing, honestly. No reason to invite her if she's not even really skating anymore.
Let’s go page!!!
i wish i was that good at skateboarding
the girls are getting better by the minute. love it!! very excited to see whats coming in the next years
leticia hasnt learned a new trick in a decade
apparently she has forgotten a few though
Now that she's practically retired from skateboarding, she's not going to learn at all !!! She became a race car driver!!!
@@hevvyserve She doesn't skate anymore, why would she learn new tricks? She has paved the way, now it's time for the younger generation to step up the game.

Y’all don’t have to juice those manny scrapes. This is a respected sport now. It’s important to point out what makes a trick properly executed.
💙💪Satisfaction rules! Watching the girls displayed outstanding skills💙💪
Judges not appreciating skating switch is ridiculous 😭🤦♂️
A q te refieres?
45 seconds is not enough for a run 1 minute is what it should be
I was just wondering, what do they actually do when it starts raining?
Girls have improved so much, so quickly. ❤🤘

Big ups to Ito. Her final run was crazy.
The flake cup seems to be tomorrow actually.
Boa sorte a todos sk8
Where are they getting these commentators...? Terriible.
The women killin' it as usual. Good skating!
27:04 YUMEKA ROBBED !!!! that was a solid second run she deserved a higher score
Disagree. Still a lot of good tricks but didn't do a ton of tricks. 84.00 was judged correctly.
@@4drturbo85 You're right. Love Yumeka and she had some bangers, but there was also a lot of dead air in her run.
Congratulations miyu ito for winning the x games in women's skateboarding
26:04 so Yumeka Oda is basically sponsored by Hello Kitty
Leticia Bufoni will get another shot at the X Games. She always does. Even at X Games Chiba.
What did leticia did to her face
Too much filler and botex
she’s also hella skinny now.
Hopefully the Olympics has some better names competing.
Leti 👑🖤❤
Tried to watch but had to bail. The production of the broadcast was horrendous!
Leticia didn’t see the bar high, there just wasn’t any talent until now.
precisely. she was the most dominant at the time. now that the Japanese came to the competitions, she had no chance against them. plus she’s getting older
Please new commentary for next xgames 😂
Yo where Rayssa?
Olympics bound? not sure
Skipped this to prepare for Olympics along with a few others.
Where TF is the audio?
What's wrong this year... I didn't know y'all were fox sports...
Letucia is genuinely not good at skating
i mean.. she made it to finals..
Gotta love Botox.. not really.
Letecia..the only real woman here
