Skating Japan 🇯🇵 | Sakura Sake Tour Episode 1

Leo Heinert, Brandon “Bonestalone” Bonner, Caroline Duerr, Eugenia Ginepro, JJ Colõn,
Jefferson “Yiyo” Obando, Blair Alley, Richie Löffler, Rodrigo Cabrejas & our Taiwanese filmer FIVE
touched down in Tokyo in episode 1.
The timing was perfect as the cherry blossom season kicked in full gear the first day we hit the streets. There were literally Sakura trees blooming every where you looked. Leo Takayama from Osaka was our guest skater for the tour. We linked up close to our hotel at a nearby plaza with perfect marble blocks. After a full session on the Aka Banks in Asakusa we crossed the bridge to Setagaya at the golden hour where Bonestalone snuck by security and knocked out the first NBD of the trip with a lofty ollie over a 14 stair. The Sakura Sake Tour was off to an epic start!

Skating a Wok-Shaped Bowl in a Taiwan Restaurant | Jackpots and Bullet Trains Tour Episode 5

Taichung, Taiwan is a beautiful and fascinating city with a strong Japanese architectural influence. Isun Chen introduced us to Charly Costello who operates Wan Bon Bar and invited our crew to skate the bowl inside his high-end restaurant. After an all-day session in the streets, we arrived at this magical spot and spent the entire night skating the painted, wok-shaped bowl with new friends.

Queen and King of Paris: Leticia Bufoni and Trevor McClung | RED BULL PARIS CONQUEST

Red Bull Paris Conquest was the rowdiest contest in recent memory, bringing new obstacle layouts, a head-to-head eliminator format and new energies to Paris’ Trocadero right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower today.

We should naturally begin by congratulating Trevor McClung and Leticia Bufoni for being crowned the king and queen of Paris respectively, but a widening of the lens will show a superb event with a strong local showing and a raucous throng of a crowd who clearly had their favourites and let them know who they were.

Certainly high among those was TJ Rogers, who has made himself no end of new friends in the city over the last few days and delivered a clinic in buttery ledge tech and showcased what is undeniably the best switch frontside 360 ollie in the game. His consistency and trick bag were enough for fourth place but could have placed him higher had he not been drawn in the semi’s against Aurelien Giraud who would have won had he not broken three boards with that stupendous power of his, meaning he effectively skated the semi-finals and finals on several borrowed boards. He would be wise to bring a quiver of identical set-ups going forward. Nonetheless, he remarkably managed to power his way to second with a repertoire of big block hammers, transition wonders and a hardlflip late kickflip unseen outside of Youtube and in the wild. The man he beat into third was crowd favourite Vincent Milou who has seemingly become the most popular skater in France over the last year. He also snapped a board against TJ Rogers in the run-off for third, but TJ showed a lot of class by not trying to seize the advantage while Vincent sorted out a new board against the buzzer. By contrast Trevor McClung managed to hold onto enough moves like a switch backside 360 down the Bercy 5 block without needing timeouts and held on for first place.

If pole position was closely contested for the men’s contest, it was less so for the women’s. Leticia Bufoni demonstrated some of the strength in depth that marks out her talent by powering through to first place mixing the ability to go big with a consistency that is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, Leticia’s scheduled final rival Aori Nishimura had to withdraw from competing after an ankle injury with her last trick of the semi-final having already secured a guaranteed second place, and so a spontaneous three-way skate-off was held to decide the rest of the final four positions.

This saw Leticia roll out against both the impressive and effervescent local Charlotte Hym who rode the crowd’s energy to an excellent third place and Argentina’s Eugenia Ginepro who used her transition skills to solid effect on the melting house and wave spots particularly and took a solid fourth place on what was a terrific platform for where the women’s event scene is headed in terms of calibre and skill level.

Many thanks to Flo, Jeremy Grynblat, Greg Poissonnier, Ben Powell, Etnies and all our friends in Paris for helping make this unique event go with the bang it surely did!
