the CIRCUS

circus_01“the CIRCUS” was held on March 3th at Washigatake Ski Resort in Gifu.
RAIL JAM contest sponsored by DOLL OUTERWEAR and RICE28.
As the name “circus” suggests, this competition is a small, limited space where the performers (participants), the audience (customers) who liven things up, and the staff who support them behind the scenes (piste staff, shops, media, staff) come together as one. Let's complete one SHOW in a condensed place next to each other! !
It was done with the intention of
A festival that is completely handmade on the slopes.

5:00 in the morning.
The snow that had been falling all night from the previous day had already exceeded 30 cm.
AKof.C staff continued to manage the park throughout the night so that as many participants as possible could enjoy and be satisfied.Perhaps that wish came true, the sun began to appear even though it was snowing at the start of the tournament.

The judges this time are four of the many guest riders.
- Hijiri Okamoto “HIJIRI” (DOLL OUTERWEAR)
- Ryo Kikuchi (DOLL OUTERWEAR)
Yutaka Nagamori “YOUNG” (DOLL OUTERWEAR/RICE28)
- Keiichiro Tomoda (RICE28)

Under the signal of MC Tatsunori Nakajo and MC Kenta Taguchi, jam sessions will be held for 30 minutes in each category.It seems that the judge riders couldn't hide their surprise at the high level of the participants.Guest riders who are not familiar with RAIL usually received considerable stimulation and enjoyed themselves.

In between the competitions, riders could be seen enjoying freeriding with the participants and spectators.In addition, coffee and isobeyaki were distributed free of charge not only to the participants but also to everyone who was present at the tent side, making it truly a festival on the slopes.

With the number of big tournaments increasing year by year, the warm atmosphere of “the CIRCUS” was truly a refreshing tournament.I could tell just by watching that all the participants laughed and regretted each other, even though they couldn't put on makeup, and they genuinely enjoyed skating.Win or lose, enjoy skiing!It was a tournament that was exactly what “the CIRCUS” was looking for.
The organizers, DOLL and RICE28, awarded luxurious prizes for each category.
1st place is the right to order the 05/06 model.A great present that you can choose one set of next season's wear and one snowboard from the catalog as you like.
2nd place was 04 set of 05/1 model wear, 1 snowboard, and 3rd place.Naturally, the excitement was not half-hearted.And there was a wish for the development and growth of young riders in the future.
Both participants and riders had a lot of fun, and we heard many voices saying that they would like to share a fun time at “the CIRCUS” next year as well.
