The level of technical skill Yuto Horigome possesses on a skateboard is pretty unbelievable. It’s not easy to one up yourself when you’re already one of the best.
But when he casually drops stuff like this on Instagram, I guess I’ll just eat my words and watch in awe.

He asks us, “What's the name of this trick?” and it’s funny because that’s been happening a lot lately. All these NBD tricks, some easier on the eyes than others, are just sprouting up like weeds! Not just specifically with Yuto—just talented skaters across the globe in general.
This is a wild one though, mainly because he adds that extra little 270 at the end. There’s a lot going on here! Besides the obvious difficulty of this trick, I’d have to imagine trying it over and over would literally make you properly dizzy.
If anyone is going to one up Yuto, it’s going to be Yuto. And that’s clearly the case here.
Anyways, do you have a name for it? Remind Insoles commented, "Spin to win!" and I liked that. There are some gems. But I’ve definitely never seen this trick on a handrail. The progression is real and Yuto, along with a few select others, continue to raise the bar.
