GX1000 pulled off a proper surprise for Taihou Tokura—better known as T4—with his bump to the pro ranks while the crew was already deep into a Japan trip.
The surprise was flawless, the trip was productive as hell and there's no denying T4 deserved the bump. Peep the moment it happened below, along with a ripping edit from the whole GX squad in the streets of Japan.
The edit features T4, Jeff Carlyle, Sean Greene, Zack Krull, Rob Bootes, Junnosouke Hasegawa, Willow Vogues Fernandes, Shine Hikaru, Ayahiro Uratsuka and Eddie Cernicky. Yep, all the usual suspects are here and each of them absolutely brought it. Everyone gets their shine, and the energy never stops.
GX1000 edits never get old, and this one in particular feels special. T4 is an absolute beast and this edit alone provides enough proof. But if you happen to be unfamiliar with his skating, all I can say is do your homework! Best assignment ever.
Shoutout to Cody Thompson, Otto Ray, and Masanori Uruma for capturing all the stoke (without overcomplicating it) as always.
Huge congrats to T4 for entering the pro ranks. Turning pro is a huge deal, and GX treated it the right way—celebrate quickly, then get back to ripping. Peep the edit. Buy his board. Go skate. Boom!
