Ishod Wair & Daiki Ikeda | Shadow Day

15-year-old Monster Army recruit Daiki Ikeda from Japan hitting spots in Downtown Los Angeles alongside his idol, Monster Energy pro rider Ishod Wair. Two years ago, Ikeda first turned heads in the U.S. by winning the gold medal in the Next X Skateboard Street contest at X Games Minneapolis 2019 at age 13. Competing in the Tampa AmDemic contest last year, the young Monster Army rider dropped consistent technical moves to claim 2nd place overall. Much like the first installment, the new ‘Shadow Day’ edit shines a light on the brand’s platform for nurturing the next generation of action sports talent: The Monster Army is Monster Energy’s athlete development program that supports athletes ages 13-21 years old in skate, motocross, BMX, mountain bike, surf, snowboard, and ski.
