Round 10 Nekoma Slopestyle Session

NEKOMA SlopeStyle Session

After the Kandatsu SJ was over, the players headed for Nekoma.
By the time I left Kandatsu, the rain was flickering a little.
Explosive cyclogenesis ... Hokkaido is so rough that you have to refrain from going out

Of course, Fukushima Prefecture, which is about to go, is no exception.We took an inn in Yuzawa and left the next day.

The wind is terrible with the information received from various places!It was said that.
When I left Yuzawa, the weather was not so rough, and as soon as I thought it was the beginning of a comfortable drive, the truck in front of me was shaking on the highway.As we passed near Sanjo, Niigata, a gust of wind struck us, as if the wind would blow the car.
If you don't hold the handle firmly, it will stick into the guardrail as it is.I've never experienced such a wind.
The situation is the same everywhere in Japan.Nekoma is no exception.
I got information that Nekomadake was closed by contact from the site.

The players were worried about where and what they were doing.
We also headed for Nekoma Ski Resort in a strong wind.
He was informed that he couldn't do anything even if he came, and he decided to stay in Aizuwakamatsu and set up the tournament the next day.
And the day before the tournament, the players are gathering at Nekoma to practice for the tournament, but the road to Nekoma and all the ski resorts are white out.
The ski resort was forced to close all day.
The players completed the registration and returned to the inn.

What was that yesterday on the day of the tournament?The fine weather gently wrapped up this tournament.The snow that had blown off was tight and the tournament started in the best conditions.

Since I couldn't practice before the tournament, I took a long time for public practice, and the format of the tournament was cut down.
This is a method that was often used in old professional games.

First of all, all the men's qualifying rounds fly.
First of all, the top XNUMX will go to the final.
And from 7th to 24th place will advance to the semi-final.
The top 6 in this semi-final will be in the final.
Some players can only fly one.
Similarly for girls, the first 4rd place in the qualifying will go to the final, and the 12th to 3th place will go to the semi-final.It is a system to go to the final of three people in the semi-final.

The final is an on-parade of techniques.
Techniques that girls can't think of as girls are unfolded one after another.

Teru Ogawa, who came in 3rd place, was very impressed with the beautiful CABXNUMX.

Second place was Aoi Takahashi, who showed a stable B2 from the qualifying.

Mitsuri Yoshizawa, who won the championship brilliantly, decided to use B720F720 and climbed to the top despite being covered with a happening that took off his shoulder during the first public practice.

Although he missed the prize, he showed off a wonderful trick of XNUMX OUT from Mao Aizawa's down rail front lip.
