Momiji Nishiya is one of the greatest female skaters on the planet, Chris Mulhern is one of the finest skate-filmmakers and this video was three years in the making. To say the content they've produced is high quality is an understatement of epic proportions!
As an Olympic gold medal winner, Momiji's first full part was always going to be the focus of the world's attention. But such pressure, in the wrong hands, often leads to disappointing results, so adidas Skateboarding tasked arguably the pre-eminent skateboard filmer of the age with getting the most out of Ms Nishiya. Together they really have produced a magnificent piece of skateboarding history.
