Watch Them Fly - Exclusive Interview with The Yasutoko Brothers (2002). by Venus Rae
My first initial thought of the Yasutoko’s brothers was graceful. I just arrived at the photographers’ ramp - and at that moment a blur motion in gray whizzed through the air directly in front of me. It took me a second to realize that this is one of the Yasutoko brothers - I’m not sure which one he was suspended in the air. He stayed there for a while, as if flying and then as fast and he got up he went down again, skating within the vertpipe.
Needless to say, I was already impressed. But who am I kidding, we’re talking about the Yasutoko brothers.
A brief history about them. Born and raised in Japan (although, growing up, they spend more time overseas than at their homeland), they got involved in the skating world at a very young age. Fast forward to their teenage years, they became instant hit in the world of agressive in-line skating, competing with the best the sport has to offer.
