Yuto Horigome — Next New Wave
One of the most exciting things about ushering in the Next New Wave this month has been sharing footage of skaters who seem to be almost impossibly diverse. Take Yuto Horigome. The Tokyo teen easily puts down some of the most complex ledge combos we’ve seen, he grinds twenty-stair rails, and then just when we think, “Wow, he’s pretty good at street,” POW! He blasts an impeccable McTwist on vert. How do Tokyo teens even know about McTwists? And then, just when we think we’ve seen it all, there are even more surprises. But we won’t give it away—you’ll just have to see for yourself.
