Japanese Skaters Are Dominating

Back when the contest was non-corporate, American professional skateboarders were always in the heat of the moment, snagging trophies and medals back and forth, with Nyjah Huston taking home all the cash prizes.

Then, the Brazilians took over the contest, including Luan Oliveira, Felipe Gustavo, Kelvin Hofler, Ryssa Leal, and more.

After skateboarding became a too corporate, more and more Japanese skaters, such as Yuto Horigome, Momiji Nishiya, Yumeka Oda, and other gnarly homegrown Japanese riders, were on the rise.

World Skate SB and WST went to Dubai on Sunday to help with their contest.

As a result, four Japanese skaters, one Brazilian and one Australian, took home the victory.

Gustavo Ribeiro, Chloe Covell, Rizu Akama, Kairi Netsuke, Coco Yoshizawa, and Sora Shira posted up on the stage of glory to show that they all received their awards.

This demonstrates how cutthroat the corporate skateboarding industry has become, as even Horigome fails to make the list.

The Olympics will be held in June, and Japanese skateboarders will likely win all the championships.
