AKA AK
While saying
Valdez, AK. I really wanted to come.
When I was a junior high school student, a video called Valdez, AK appeared, and I couldn't even understand the meaning of AK.
I'm glad to come.
AK is the third time, but Valdez is the first time
Various timings overlap,
Is it an entry for the tournament?
Anything is fine, I'll go.
I've been planning to go on an Alaska trip with my Japanese friends for a long time,
Every year something happened and I couldn't go.
This year, I have no choice but to go alone and hang out with the guys over there!
With that kind of feeling, I'm going to Alaska anyway.
I arrived.
I flew from Jackson to Anchorage, where I met a Swiss, and the next day I met a Colorado skier and rented a car to Valdez. Drive for XNUMX-XNUMX hours.
I found a FLOW tent in the parking lot of the pass.
For the time being, it seems that I can sleep there.
I promised to share a motorhome (camper) with Will Bromelsiek of King of the Hill, who became a friend in NZ last year.
Will is also driving from Tahoe to Alaska, and the tires of the rear car carrying the mobile are both derailed and stuck, or it takes about XNUMX weeks while doing a great adventure, and it still takes about XNUMX days. So ...
With that feeling, the trip to Alaska began with everything undecided. ..
This time, the report on the day of the FLOW WORLD EXTREME FREERIDING CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament
It should appear in Japanese magazines, but I will briefly introduce it.
Venue of Contest
From this left side ...
To the right
It's not completely reflected, but
Anywhere
Glide freely.
A contest called.
Actually, I think about various things and slide to get points from the judges.Otherwise it will be a free ride for free.
Even that's fine
I don't have a sponsor and I'm not coming to play.
the first.
Go up on the mobile, hike the steep slopes, reach the ridgeline,
Tell the staff where to drop and walk there.
I'm aiming to drop it about XNUMXm further than that Sakicho.
Standing over there is a Russian named Sergei from Kamchatka.Tame year.
I want to go to Kamchatka.
But the relationship between countries is tingling
I and Sergey are not in a very tingling relationship either.
So, for my first one, some people took a video, but I haven't got it yet,
As expected, the snow slumped thinly, and in the meantime, I hit the seppi and flew the cliff, and when I finished slipping, many people ran and it was interesting.
But on the way, I got stuck and felt that the points wouldn't increase.
The second one, will you go to Vaticon!
The second one is from the rightmost peak when viewed from the bottom.
This photo is when I'm wearing a board at the drop point. ..
Brandon Reid, who finally became the king this time, has started to slide forward.
Alaska Snowboard Guides, a helicopter company guide.
At this moment, I just pray that the line between myself and the person does not overlap.
It's not a pleasure to wear a line as a snowboarder, more than a contest.
Mike Basich. The second one.
Bib?Number?What do you call it
It's free paper and taped to the front legs.
A crew running up to a friend who has finished slipping.
Oh, this photo, the leftmost, three-step drop line is my first one.
The second one went down to the borders left from the rightmost peak, went to the right under the cliff, and flew the middle cliff.
The snow was not good on the sunny side.
I didn't know that either.
After all, it is an important point to have a comfortable slide to see.
California crew.
Gabe on the left ... it's bad.
It jumps too much. A surfer, alpinist, snowboarder, chef and artist from Santa Cruz. ..
It's too funny.
It's so jumpy that other foreigners are silent.
Drop with Contour on the head and smoke while emitting red smoke.
Beer at the goal.
The most exciting part of the tournament.
I have no choice but to laugh
It is said that Everest is also climbing with Mr. ○○, a famous Japanese skier.
In the middle is Justin of Japanese American.
Both are a family of motor homes.
The result of the first day.
You can get to the final by riding a helicopter up to XNUMXth place.
So, it ’s XNUMXth place!
Will is in XNUMXth place. ..
Mikey and Rob Kingwill are even lower. ..
If I could understand the criteria of the judges more, I could aim for a slip that I liked.
It's a difficult part of the contest.
