SlopeStyle '04 in SAPPORO
MAKOMANAI SKI AREA

In 2004, the snowboarders in Hokkaido were extremely high.Following TOYOTA BIG AIR, which has already become a staple of Hokkaido, SlopeStyle, which has reached its fifth time, has landed in Hokkaido.
How many times have you seen the happy smiles of Hokkaido horse snowboarders saying, "It's great to see two such big festivals in Hokkaido !!"
On the morning of the first day of SlopeStyle, when I stood in the parking lot of Makonai Ski Resort, there was a section filled with the soul of SNOW PARK TECHNOLOGIES in front of me.
Unfortunately, heavy clouds hung in the sky for two days.The snow fluttered, and it was mixed with rain ... every time it was chilled.Suddenly the clouds break and the warm sunlight begins to melt the snow.After noon, a strong wind packs the section hard and hard, then blows coldly on the riders attacking the park.

SlopeStyle04 was at the mercy of difficult course conditions that changed facial expressions.The person who controls this condition controls the Slope Style.It was a severe battle.

The sky is still gray on the third day.However, as if waiting for the time of RAIL JAM, a gentle light that could not be thought of as Hokkaido in February shined on the double kink.
Riders will enter JAM SESSION first.The riders who entered are self-judgment styles who vote for No. 1, so they push each other from beginning to end and go up.We who were watching were constantly cheering.
Every time the weather changed, I was forced to change the schedule, and this tournament never came to my liking.Still, the Slope Stylers showed us the best style and smiles.
We are happiest to be able to feel this competition live, which is sure to be engraved in the history of the snowboarding scene.
SPECIAL THANKS for the best SlopeStylers !!
