About Sk8 the Infinity

Sk8 the Infinity takes place in Okinawa, Japan, and follows a group of skateboarders who compete in an underground competition known as “S.” When Canadian newcomer Langa Hasegawa moves to Japan, he is quickly befriended by the free-spirited skateboarder/skateboard designer, Reki Kyan.

Among these skaters is Kaoru Sakurayashiki, better known by his “S” alias: Cherry Blossom. By day, Kaoru is a renowned calligrapher. But by night, he becomes Cherry, “S” founding member and celebrity. With his trusty AI Carla and longtime frenemy Joe at his side, Cherry proves to be a fierce skater with an even fiercer amount of sassiness.

Here are some of the best Cherry quotes from Sk8 the Infinity.
