TOYOTA BIG AIR 12th
2008.2.10 (Sun) "TOYOTA BIG AIR", which is celebrating its 12th anniversary this year, has become an event that can be said to be a winter tradition in Sapporo.
This time, the jumping platform was significantly renewed, and the Makomanai Sekisui Heim Stadium, which was overcrowded with 2 people, became a venue full of enthusiasm.
The qualifying was held with a total of 4 people including invited riders, including Masatake Yamamoto, Shuji Ito, Takumi Suzuki, and Choco Vanilla Ball Arai, who passed the Japanese qualifying.
Akifumi Hiraoka, a regular at the tournament, sealed the double flip and was unfortunately defeated in the CAB900 in 9th place in qualifying.The only Japanese to advance to the tournament is Masatake Yamamoto, who finished 900rd in the qualifying with a high CAB3.Last year's champion, CAB1, was Kevin Pearce in first place in qualifying.
