Japanese crossword «Skateboarder»

Very shit crossword. Without hint never solve

MAN was that a difficult puzzle. I got a whole section from top to bottom done on the far right side and thought things were going smoothly, then just got completely stuck. I had to walk away for a couple days and come back with fresh eyes. Still really tough, but then suddenly I figured out literally 2 pixels and had a breakthrough, and managed to get through the rest from there. Was definitely tempted to hit that hint button for a while but I really wanted to see if I could manage the logic, and then when I did it felt so good to figure it out. Disagree with the previous commenter that this devalues the puzzle, frankly I appreciate the extreme challenge and being able to overcome it.
