DANIEL SHIMIZU

Bio:

As skateboarding continues to labor down its path of progression into worlds of mind-numbing precision and death-defying decisions, it is easy to forget that it’s all about fun. Daniel Shimizu is one of those skaters who serve as a constant reminder of that little fact. Blessed with an effortless, loose style, Daniel makes amazing skateboarding look like just another easygoing part of his always-enjoyable daily routine. For a guy known for hurricaning handrails on a whole ‘nother level, Daniel avoids stagnation by simply opting out of that same trick-bigger spot formula in favor of a constant overhaul in mental approach and trick selection with every video part. Fortunately for us, that great style remains constant and continues to shine.
