I’ll introduce a man who is a Japanese skateboarder. He is Shinpei Ueno. His skateboarding style and his videos display originality. He was born in Osaka. He encountered skateboarding was when he was in elementary school. One day he went to a warehouse and there was a skateboard in there. But his friends gradually stopped doing skateboarding.
Recently skateboarding was chosen to bean official event of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Then skateboarders are seen as a pro riders by the public now but Shinpei Ueno often skateboards on the street to take a video as a pro rider. The public said, “The Professional riders don’t play such around here. You are causing trouble for other professional riders.” But he doesn’t care. He talked “Street style is something that involves inevitability and necessity.” And he loves and follows the good old skateboard culture on the street.
I found his video on Instagram. This video makes me feel impressed. I’m not good at doing skateboarding, so I admire him. My favorite of his skills is the nose manual. If you have time, you should watch the video. He loves doing skateboarding on the street. Certainly there is a possibility a dangerous incident, but the players enjoy the skateboarding.
