Yurin Fujii has been on an absolute tear lately, but I had no idea she had all these clips chilling on ice! Her new Grit & Glam video part for OJ Wheels is an instant classic and gives us a proper look at just how ripping this Japanese powerhouse truly is. Style. Power. Creativity. There are more than a few rewind-worthy clips peppered into this banger. Stop what you're doing and press play. 

Fujii is known for her raw approach and fearless ability to tackle some seriously crusty terrain, and we see her take on some of West Coast’s gnarliest transitions, DIY slabs and heavy parks in this part—handling them like they were built in her backyard. 

She skates fast and technical. And the entire part balances her raw aggression with her envious style, giving it a perfect mix of grit and glam like the title promises. Honestly, I don't know what else to say besides I genuinely enjoyed this part. 

Sometimes a skateboarder simply lets their skating do the talking. Seems to me like Yurin has that figured out. She's definitely someone to keep your eyes on, that's for sure. Her progression is undeniable, and more importantly, you can easily tell she's out there enjoying every slam, make and session she's on. 

Fujii has a bright future ahead. Keep this part on repeat and go slash some pool coping.
