Skateboarding has its own waves, and Kairi Netsuke has caught a huge one right now. Had he not hit a bad luck streak mid-Best Trick at Lausanne, he would have been on the podium; but with that said, he got his feet back on a Heelflip Backside Tailslide Bigspin Out on a 9-stair handrail. In Lausanne, Kairi made two Run scores above 85 and two Best Tricks above 88, AND he was unlucky. A modern Heelflip great already and frighteningly good all-around, he debuted for Zero Skateboards in 2022.
