Yuki is one of Japan's new super talents, and when we say new, we mean 15 years new. Yuki took out the biggest slopestyle contest in Japan, The Slopestyle Japan Open, this year rocketing himself from a relatively unknown kid ripping up the local park to the semi-pro he is today. It didn’t take Yuki very long before he, and the rest of the world, realized he wasn’t just any ordinary kid who loved to snowboard. Yuki has a supernatural talent that he unleashed at the Ride Shakedown events as well as Snowboarders Super Park, and to top it all off, kicked off the TTR rankings for 2011-12 season in 5th place thanks to his 5th place finish at the 5-Star Ante Up event in Whistler B.C. Its going to be real fun watching this kid grow into his skills and he should be on track for a spot on the 2014 Japanese Olympic Snowboard team.
