Welcoming Fikri Fauzi, and Koya Miyasaka
The influence of skate never ends, and the associated culture surrounding it, be it the stereotypical bouts of rebelliousness, and lack of any danger awareness somewhat still retains, as can be seen with several routs with security guards and park managers as the Vans team proceed to jump, grind, ollie, and kickflip in every possible corner.
Vans welcomes then, the arrival of Fikri Fauzi, and Koya Miayasaka, two new groundbreaking talent in the world of skateboarding to the official Vans teams, as they showcase their abilities in the video above.
Fikri has been skating for sometime, and after coming in fifth at SKATE4ACAUSE, it was clear that his abilities can be honed into a sharper knife. Fikri also bagged best trick at Temerloh Skate Jantan Warrior 2017 after performing the Big Spin Frontside Boardslide. The same can be said for Koya, as he’s spent years honing his tricks and attempting bigger, more daring stunts in public places, all in a bid to vying for a spot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Check the video above to witness their abilities.
With that said, skate will never die, as long as people like these hold the torch to keep the flame alive for other budding skaters out there.
