We first met Juni Kang in 2023 at Damn Am Japan in Murakami City. He was the only skater from South Korea to make the contest and just missed the finals. Fast forward to 2024, Juni flies to the US and joins us for Damn Am Costa Mesa at Volcom HQ, bringing an updated style and bag of tricks to the contest. Juni secured a win during the Best Trick Contest AND made the finals, just barely missing the top with a third place finish overall. Just three months later, he traveled to Tampa from South Korea, where he showcased his skills to the world. Congratulations to Juni Kang for winning the 30th annual Tampa Am!

Cmon things are getting silly
that was insane
Yuto already has inspired the next generation.
Way to go bro!
To the skateboarding history archive
This guy is amazing!! What a kid from 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
this dude was gnarly. way better than any anderson doing flatland the entire time
Just wondering , how this run stacks up against Yuto's run? but if Juni was at the pro finals , i think Yuto would push himself even more.
VEry NICE
Kid moves like Jerry Hsu 🥹
Wow. So stoked for this kid
Its pretty much over for anyone that isn't Japanese, these guys are getting better by the day
what is going on ???? omfG
As a non skaterboarder, why was this impressive?
No way is that Yu2 Hurigome?!
juni was so frustrated with himself up until the very end, and to pull out a perfect run?? insane. let loose juni cmonn dude

Bro just kept landin trick after trick insane run!!!
korea's number two skater.
Show this to the pros 20 years ago and they wouldn't believe it
Good lord, what's in the kids drinking water these days. I skated surf-style, just carving when I was a kid, never even landed a kickflip. The skill of these kids now is absolutely insane.
What an incredible performance; amazing trick selection!
Greatest street skateboarding display ever…
한국인이 탐파 우승이라니!! 감개무량하다!
Coming out of that bs board slide it looked like he was gonna fall, but that was the position he needed to kick flip out of it….the kid is a total monster..
Wtf!!!
Great run but not number one
Pulled up to this in person. Best kept fl secret, not as crowded as years before but still insane to witness
