Damn Am Japan 2018 Qualifiers Photos
Posted on Friday, May 4, 2018 by Chris
Qualifiers at Damn Am Japan were like watching the kids' version of Tampa Pro. That's how good these guys are... And if that wasn't enough, the Indy Best Trick took it to a whole other level. These little rippers may be small, but they're doing big tricks on an even bigger course. Check the photos...

Apparently KF Frontside Boards on this rail is second nature for a lot of these kids. Kento Urano is one of them.
Some things never change wherever you go: little padded air babies doin’ Canadian Flyouts alive and well way out East.
We’ve been kinda runnin’ Frontside Air overkill here and had to call it quits but had to relapse on this one done by Yamato Kosuzu as he went F&%kin Huge!!
Yuto Kojima!! You gotta let us know whats up with the porno mags, pretty sure I’ve seen you on a T-shirt holding a Porn mag and now here you are again. What’s up with it?!
In our 25 years of doing this we have never seen such a well-behaved Best Trick contest in our lives. It was as if these dudes had a sixth sense to know when who was going, as there were no pile-ups as everyone patiently waited their turn; also, not to mention, no media goons and/or crazed fans in the landing.
Yukito Aoki bangs out a Tre Lip no prob, he also stuck it with Bigspin Out as well but suffered from some classic board breakage.
Sora Shirai got 3rd Place in BT with a Blizzard Flip but a photo of that would just be obnoxious so here’s a photo of a Frontside 180 to S/S Backside 50/50 instead.
Keyaki Ike midway through Switch 270 F/S Board, milliseconds before Bigspinning Out; ultimately granting him with 2nd Place in the BT contest.
Then Daisuke had to go ahead and duped everybody with the Back 270 Flip Lip for the win via Best Trick Competition.
