This is Gou Miyagi’s part in something called “Overground Broadcasting,” a film by The Far East Skate Network. FESN apears to be based out of Japan, but the video has a lot of European and US footage as well. I was hooked on this video in the first 50 seconds. Watching Gou Miyagi immediately brought to mind Natas as well Patrick Melcher and Richie Jackson. Call me shallow, but that’s who I thought of. Although that may be because that list exhausts every street skater that I can claim any knowledge of having a particular style. I especially dug the shove it Natas spin. I suppose if I don’t say “Mark Gonzales,” someone will rant at me in the comments. There’s a lot of show stoppers in the vid, but I don’t want to spoil them. Just watch it, you won’t be disappointed. Great skating, good editing and presentation as well. I need to track down this video.
– Thanks to Casey Morrow for the tip.

WOW! That was effing awesome! Such good skating! I was even more stoked when I saw Haebaru Skatepark (1:42). Go Okinawa!

amazing skating, but irritating editing.

That was awesome, it’s like an Asian version of a Mark Gonzales video part. All so innovative… but maybe not all for the best. It might encourage groms to slick up grindable surfaces with KY Jelly instead of their normal over zealous waxing.

Yep. Thanks for this one. Beautiful skating.

that was neat-o, made cheese and crackers look like “drive” on fueltv.
that track they played in there-was that little guitar lick from “for those about to rock”?
