15.16 PSA ASIA Snowboard Pro Tour round 3
Wednesday, February 2016, 2 PSA Pro Tour Round 24
The 5th year MBA, a freestyle straight jump competition, will be held at Meiho Ski Resort in Gifu Prefecture.
Due to an unprecedented lack of snow nationwide in recent years, the MBA, which was originally supposed to be held on January 23, was canceled, and as a result of discussions, the repartition was postponed and the event was held on the above schedule. became.
Unfortunately, there were some players who couldn't participate due to the change from the originally planned schedule, but first of all, I was able to hold the tournament safely with the support of many people and players by postponing instead of canceling. Thank you more.
The weather on the day of the event was snowy and then sunny.
The temperature in the morning was -XNUMX degrees Celsius, which was colder than the warm temperature of the previous day, and the snow flickers in the state where the burn was closed, and the morning came in a state where the opposite was blowing on average.
The course layout is also a straight jump, and there is one kicker with a table length of about 14m, standing in a place that can be clearly seen from the lift of the slope.
The liner seems to be a little shallow, but it doesn't feel like it's hard to stand.
The difference between this MBA and the previous year is that the angle of the lip is facing upwards compared to before, so it is a very trick with a launch angle that makes the trajectory that was a liner up to now be launched upward and fly to landing with a beautiful trajectory. It can be said that it is an easy platform to put out.
With this kicker, last year's MBA champions Masakaze Yoshida (kissmark) and Teru Ogawa (NOVEMBER) of the yellow bibs will show what kind of battle, and what kind of tricks the riders who follow it will do, and a very exciting battle will start.
Men74 (HEAT1,2), Women25 (HEAT1) qualifying to fight in a two-run best point system, Men are the top two from each heat AB and two from the overall points of the heat, a total of 2 people x 2 HEAT total 6 people Will win.
First of all, HEAT1, attention players include defending champion Masakaze Yoshida, final regular Yumaru Ogawa, and Kaito Shinmiyaji, who won second place in the match against Ama the day before.
A hot trick battle was fought from the place where Masakaze Yoshida, the first runner, made a beautiful Cab Double 900 while the burn was not loosened yet, and from HEAT900-A, Atsuhiro Suzuki who decided a beautiful Backside 900, also decided the Backside 2. Yota Tsuji, Kazuki Nakamura who decided Swich Backside 900 from HEAT720-B, Kaoru Sato who decided big Backside 900 from amateur, Yumaru Ogawa who decided beautiful Backside 900 from overalls, Daichi Nishioka who decided Frontside XNUMX advance to the final To decide.
Men HEAT 2 begins in the gradually loosening burn.
From the HEAT2-A heat, Yahiro Waki who decided Backside W Cork 1080, Soki Wakita who also decided Backside W Cork 1080, Yutaro Miyazawa of Backside W Cork 1080 from B heat, and Ken Otsuka of Cab W Cork 900, overalls Then, Yusho Yamane who decided Backside 900 and Yuhito Yoshimoto who decided Swich Backside 900 advanced the piece to the final.
In the Women's qualifying, 1 people from HEAT6 only will go to the final.
Reira Iwabuchi who made the Cab 720 perfectly, Rina Yoshiya who made the Cab 540, Akiko Furukawa of the Frontside 540, Mao Aizawa of the Cab 540, Teru Ogawa of the Backside 540, and Yukiko who decided the Frontside 360 will advance to the final.
We have adopted a system that both players and venues can enjoy the final, where the sunny days start and the wind is settled from the qualifying and the conditions are good, and the points of the first run are announced before the second run.
The first woman, Rina Yoshiya, makes a perfect make-up for Frontside 1, which has never been done before, and puts pressure on the following.After that, Akiko Furukawa and the pressured used river decided the same Frontside 720 as in the qualifying, and Reira Iwabuchi, who was the final runner, perfectly stomped the wonderful Cab540 and danced to the top as in the qualifying.
Except for Teru Ogawa who became DNS, if Yukiko puts out Frontside 2, Rina Yoshiya will be Backside 540, Mao Aizawa will be Cab900, Akiko Furukawa will be Frontside 540, and Reira Iwabuchi will be Backside 720. However, in the second run, no one made up and the trial was completed without changing the ranking announced in the first run.
The Men Final is an exchange of extremely difficult tricks.
Eight of the 12 final players played W Cork 8, and seven of them performed a high-difficult trick called W Cork on the Backside. ..
I entered at a speed that I thought it would be a little faster at the approach speed, and while rotating the Backside W cork on the mellow, I stomped it brilliantly and hit the top point.
The first and second place is Atsuhiro Suzuki's Perfect Backside 900.
Guy Sato, the only amateur to win, came in third with a Backside 720.There is no reason not to burn after hearing this result.
The second approach requires a precise speed control because the approach is shaded and the rider is able to run further.
While there are many players who try to raise the difficulty level of each player's trick but fail, on the contrary, Yusho Yamane who lowered the difficulty level from the first Backside W Cork 1 and decided the indie of Backside 1080 perfectly, and the only Frontside of this tournament. Ken Otsuka, who made a wonderful stomp on W Cork 900, extends the points.
I met in a situation where I was thrilled to watch the final result with a sigh of sigh, but the result just before the award ceremony was announced by Yusho Yamane in 50rd place and Ken Otsuka in 20nd place. And Yutaro Miyazawa, who played a humiliation last year, won the prize of XNUMX yen, and Reira Iwabuchi, who won the Women's prize, was sent a prize of XNUMX yen.

Looking back on this tournament, I am grateful that we were able to hold the event with the cooperation of a large number of people, including the Meiho Ski Resort, so that we could postpone it and repartition it instead of deciding to cancel due to lack of snow. I hope that the XNUMXth year MBA will be held on the Pro Tour, and I would like to look to the next tournament.
