Yasutaka Takamine: 40+ Years Of Vertical Roller Skating In Japan

Really early on, the vertical roller skating scene in Japan was flourishing though widely unrecognized by the western world. The distance, language barriers and no internet played a big role here. But this does not mean that information did not make its way around the globe. After Yasutaka Takamine saw a video of Fred Blood competing against Duke Rennie and Greg O’Neil he immediately got himself a pair of quads. “Roller skating in Japan hit its peak in the 1970’s. I began a little late in ‘79,” Yasutaka recalls. This did not stop him from achieving a high level of skill in no time. In 1982, there was a national tournament for the first time in Japan. “I entered and won,” he says. Watching old video footage which Yasutaka saved and digitalized is pure pleasure and fun; his inverts, flips and laybacks are brilliant.
