Yeah! I’m so excited! I went to a skatepark in Japan a few weeks ago and I had a session with like, 7 girls. I thought it was awesome to see them out there skating.

Right!?!?! Did you see the ages in comparison to the men? Oldest woman was 23.

It got me thinking about Olympics, specifically gymnasts. The age spread is similar, where women compete at the highest levels much earlier than men, and they also don’t carry their careers as late into adulthood as men. (I’m going off years of anecdotal evidence, I have no citations.) I’m hoping to see all these female skaters doing even better in 10 years, and still able to crush it after another 10, but time will tell.

this is why I watch this rather than the men, this is so exciting every single time.

Right! I'm 41 and I've lost almost all of my tricks. 😢

Ah yes, privileged people complaining about delays in their digital media.

​@antoniodominguezjr4734 SLS was on YT then moved to Rumble and made a worse experience for skaters to watch it. No one can say anything about that or it's okay for you to criticize them? Cool.

@@Ender_FPV I’m criticizing your whininess. If you just stated it generally, I wouldn’t have. It’s how petty and entitled you sound.

I live in France. Rumble is unavailable in France 🥲

its a scam to push influence towards Australia since alot of influence is already in japan/china Momiji is miles better then Chole cheese tricks thats all im going to say the judges scoring that cheese that way is disrespectful

yeah that was massive too, guess home crowd advantage doesn't apply here

I agree. At first glance it looked like an 8.8ish but after looking at the slow motion replay it looked like it'd be much less but it didn't really affect the ride away.

i'm with u but the clutch switch flip sealed it

The WNBA should be taking notes.

the real enjoy was the time if a woman do an gap ollie and got a 8.9 for it lol

@@skateboyelement Yeah that was years ago.. I was rooting for their progression back then (well here we are now) but it was kind of embarrassing back in 2012 watching womens skateboarding events. Ten years and it's progressed massively, great to watch and relatable. Hugely technical skateboarders, outside of contest a lot of them have great tricks. Funa does ollie late back foot flips up gaps. Momiji posted on her instagram a nose slide nollie 270 heel out

❤❤❤❤ I agree.those two were easily flippable in the points.

Tailslide def got a low score, but I completely disagree that imperfect landings should be docked. I think they were doing the right thing in early SLS: if the landing was very dirty, the docked it hard, the trick could get like a 5 that would've gotten a 9 if landed perfectly; but otherwise dirty landings weren't docked at all and got a full score. I like that much more. Skateboarding is not gymnastics. It's hard, it's sketchy, and sometimes sketchiness can look even cooler than a perfect trick. E.g. I'm surprised by Malto's commentary on some of the imperfect landings. Chloe's switch flip had a powerslide, so what? It's so much sicker to see that she landed it first try while not having it on lock like a robot! Thankfully the judges agreed here and didn't lower the score at all.

They robbed funa so hard, at another sls she did a nosebluntslide they docked so many points from her and she didn’t even toe drag she was just wobbly.. she lost to Leal by like 0.3, when she deserved maybe 2 more points.

You are amazing. Single? 🫶🏾

For real😢

I had so many tears along the way, especially at the end. Epic af.

Yea right? A nine for a kickflip? In the SLS mens series this wouldn't even get a six...

Covell would have won even if they only gave her _switch_ Kickflip a 7.8. Even the men would likely have gotten at least a 7.8 for a switch Kickflip down an 11 stair.

Spoiler

Her name is Momiji

@@Rimey oops. I misspelled.

SPOILERS UGH lol

Never read the comments prior to watching. #DUH

Yea right? How was the kickflip down the stairs a friggin nine????

@@thallrudedjentstorm1756yea I don’t agree with giving her the trophy before announcing she won, kind of disrespectful to Momiji. As for her trick, it wasn’t just a kick flip , she did it switch down an 11 stair…for women that’s huge. I don’t think it would be scored that high if it was men’s. I think if they would’ve docked Chloe’s toe drag from her previous trick Momiji would have won for sure!

Mas se a Rayssa vencer na Australia,eu querover a sua cara,aqui em Tokio a Rayssa nitidamente,abriu mão de um podium,ele só queria a vitória,ou um nine club,em2 oportunidades,ele precisava de um 8. mas arriscou o nine club,por isso perdeu 3 tricks,isso acontece com quem arisca,a Momiji em Roma ficou em 8º porque arriscou tudo,e ninguem criticou

@@joo664 que loucura é essa aqui! Se a rayssa ganhar eu vou ficar super feliz por ela! Isso que eu acho mais foda nela, ela quer vencer, ela ñ quer um 2° ou 3° lugar, isso são pra poucas no mundo! Por isso q ela é quem é! Por isso que ela já tá na história!

😂😢😂 Same! So intense.

they stay robbing her

Yea true lol

How is a normal kickflip a 7

Age plays a part in it. How many 13 year olds can switchflip? How many of them could do it on this stage under this pressure? There's only a handful of skaters at our local parks that can make the flip down a gap.

so if a 16 year old does a switchflip it should get scored lower? No way thats the case (should be the case) in a SLS contest.

@@backstabbingpotato I didn't say it should, but it appears that it does.

What? She didn't even place lol.

It was a switch kick flip, it wouldn’t be a 9 if it were the men’s finals. Because it’s women’s and it was down a big set and it wasn’t done previous by her or other skaters is why it scored so high.

It's switch flip over 11 stairs and it's NBD especially for women who rarely skate switch

Plus, she is only how old?

um no💀

@@skeley1167 wow what a great argument… is 1167 the amount of brain cells you possess? The girls in SLS are just as admired by the fans as the men. Name another sport that has the same balance…

Lmao, those people are there to see the men's final. Women's Soccer/Football is obviously the most spectated female sport in the world, it's also the highest paying. Probably followed by Tennis. Women's skateboarding wouldn't even register in the top 10. This video doesn't even have 50,000 views

😅 what

sadly this is me for momiji XD
