J-Arena S2019E12 - Skateboarding

With skateboarding set to make its Olympic debut at next summer's Tokyo Games, Japan's top talent have been showing off their dazzling skills at the national championships. The event was held at a brand new publicly funded skatepark in Niigata Prefecture, on Japan's northern coast. The indoor venue is one of Japan's largest skateboarding facilities, and one of the few whose "skateboard park" course, with its deep and varied bowls, meets international competition standards.
