Hanging Out With... Asics in NYC
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- A couple of weeks ago Asics hit us up (cats out the bag, we’re working with them) letting us know that two of their Japanese riders, brothers Takuya and Yuta Ishizuka, would be visiting New York City.
While we scribbled down must-see spots, we gathered a crew of local Asics friends, including Evan Wasser, Kyota Umeki, and Joey Marrone, and geared up for tour guide mode.

Something non skate related, like hanging out with Gino
That’s kind of all I wanted to see, just a regular sit down with Luigi to discuss what’s going on with the Asics family.
You should watch some type of vlog channel that isn’t related to skating if you want non skated related content
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Asics Skateboarding team in California doing non skate related stuff be like:
Eating at Pizzanista.
Stopped into Cafe Bella a couple years ago having no idea who owned the place and got very confused when the only decoration on the wall was a picture of Gino.
You literally had nothing to lose asking.
I love this video, 2:40 was crazy! But Asics should've gotten a translator for them. They're in NYC, must be loads of people who can speak both Japanese and English.
but bro! he doesn't speak english! that means the rules don't apply to him and he's too dumb to know any better! as if it's any different in america than it is in japan! don't you know how that's how us westerners gotta infantilize everybody like that now? we treat everyone as if they're children!
I think that was just psychological warfare against the security guard
I thought the same thing.
They could also just get google translate on their phone and fully communicate back and forth .
@@andylowe447 1:48 "Things were definitely lost in Google Translation", so.. not fully communicating back and forth.
It's a shit substitute for a real translator, especially with the difference in English to Japanese. Sure you can say words, but whole sentences.. nah.
Crazy, didn't even know Asics had a skate team
For some months
one of the best teams atm
They recently put out a video part on thrasher a while ago kind of announcing it. It's pretty sick!
*Edit*
It's called TOTAL ACTUAL COMFORT and it's on thrasher
every corporation has a skate team now
O
this made me want a pair of Asics
Just skated a pair for the first time and they’re pretty damn good shoes
"It's like better than a Street League trophy"
Damn TRUE!
Good to see Takuya come back from that leg injury.
That framed photo of the backside Ollie is at Stony Brook University in Long Island. I grew up skating there and I gotta tell you that bank was steep as hell, short, no tranny at the bottom at all. As far as I know Gino is the only person who ever did anything out of it like that. He also did a BS nose slide on the top of the vert wall. Most people just carved the bank without ever getting to the vert part. It had inside corners and assorted angle hips. I was the only one in my crew to drop in on it and get a lil edger grind on the top of the vert. But to Ollie out of it is totally insane and was unthinkable back then. They bulldozes it years back, but before they did the "Lecture Center" was the shit. Also had a three level pyramid all waxed up nice and tons of other great spots on that campus. Parking garages with Manny pads and curbs when it rained. Also had great live shows there. Saw The Ramones, Biggie, Siousie and the Banshees, They Might be Giants... many more. When I think of the spots there in the context of what skaters are doing nowadays my mind goes nuts with the possibilities. Hubbas all over, stairs, double sets, did my first handrail there as well. I'm stoked he has that photo hanging up. Gino was a local hero along with Ben Liversedge and Matt Bell. But Gino is still Gino.
Front tail as well in chocolate tour
@@flapstones wow.
Zander is such a beast! Best style, def one to watch out for
how did he not completely destroy this knee on that bail, that was insane!
Totally, I thought he was done done for the trip after that fall. Ahhh to be young
@@Thisisdarkdata young and Japanese. they're built different.
Bro…everyone coming out of Japan just killin it! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
“Better than a Street League trophy”😂😂
Kinda crazy someone somewhere in the pipeline (Asics, jenkem, a fuckin local) didn’t get a translator involved; it’s NYC every language in the world is spoken here, it’s just kinda inconsiderate and alienating to willfully bring these homies around strangers and a new city and not do all you can to get em more fully integrated
Asics, a Japanese company with branches around the world. It's insane lol. Just get the cheapest translator, wtf are these guys even thinking.
Joey’s blunt flip out was fucking nuts. Should not have been dropped in this video like a throwaway clip
I mean it kinda is when non sponsored skate rats were doing it in 2006.
"he doesn't speak any English" well you tell him. "I don't speak Japanese either" LMAO
"better than a sls trophy" sure! hahah soo good
Good to see GINO. IANUCCI.💛
Music selection on this is fuckin nice 👍
dope team.
last comment, gold.
You need somebody like me on the team, speaking fluent Japanese, English, and another Asian language, U.S. educated, MBA degree, skating for 20 years.
came for the Zander
Very enjoyable! Thanks a Million!
Glad you guys chose the first song.
3:00 super rare bail the front splits_especially for steezy mcgee over here
how does jenkem not have access to even one japanese guy in new york to hang out with them for a day
Let’s go! Kyota clips🙌🙌🙌😎
Zander is on a another level! I am just subscribed to your channel from The Nine Club 💯👍🔔
"He doesn't speak any English."
"Well then you tell him!"
"I don't speak Japanese either."
Discovered that Mark Humienik a few months back. Wow, what an excellent skateboarder.
The end 😂
I remember skating that big ass handrail at 1 POLICE PLAZA. same thing cops tryin to kick you out &
I watched Harold Hunter just blasted the nicest nose slide down it … this was the days just as Zoo / Supreme days was startin to blow up. Good memories.

Walker moved from NYC late in 2023 and I think he moved back to his home town. He would of made this video Soo great I agree
