TOYOTA BIG AIR 2004 REPORT
2004.2.21 @makomanai
In Makomanai on February 2, "It's the first time I've been born in February so warm ...", the air was so loose that even the old man in the local taxi sighed.
Meanwhile, the Makomanai Open Stadium was tinged with even hotter air.A huge 38m high jumping platform emerges in the light.The distance between the rider and the spectators' seats is so close that the rider who jumps out of the jumping platform feels like it's falling on his head, and the landing snow splashes on his cheeks. rice field.A big cheer rises right next to the riding, and the riders rush towards the cheer.
I wondered what kind of feeling the rider was feeling at such a time.But for me, it's a feeling that I'll probably never know.It was very interesting, so this time I will ask Katsushi Matsui to report on TOYOTA BIG AIR from Rider's Eye (from the perspective of the rider).
The day before the TBA qualifying, Katsushi Matsui said that he wanted to win because it was an event with a particularly strong feeling of "local".As the word says, I passed the Japanese qualifying in 1st place.
— What was the qualifying like?
As a result, whenever the result is good, I'm not feeling well.This time too.I cried for an injury and couldn't stand even in public practice.The second Japanese qualifying run with no end.At the start, I was so nervous that I could hear the sound of my heart.When I heard everyone's cheers, I was convinced that I could go now.At that moment, Vitabita Cab 2. "Come !!!!" I was screaming in my heart.
-Yeah, what's worrisome there is what it feels like when you jump into that cheer?
I don't know where to look.Ask me from various directions.But I'm happy.I was unconditionally happy.
— How did you spend your time until the finals?Were you nervous?
I was so happy that I wasn't nervous.I've been calling my parents for the first time since I became a professional (Teru)
— What is the start gate of the final round?
It was a lot different from the daytime atmosphere and it was fun.The Völkl guys are teaching gag.It was lively. (Ah, by the way, did you remember that Mark Andre Tale was constantly yelling "Gets" during the victory interview?)
When I got to the start, it was a super nice look.There are only a few Japanese people who can enjoy this feeling, so I wonder if I've come this far (Shimijimi).
— What was the jumping platform this time?
If you were to run, it was the most interesting jumping platform that was wide and the easiest to fly.
-By the way, who was the coolest rider for Mr. Matsui?
After all JP (Solberg) was cool! JP's Switch B9 is the best trick.
Thank you very much~~~.
I hope you read this comment and feel that TOYOTA BIG AIR is a little different from usual.

The three remaining in the Super Final, aggressively attacking from the first one, Mark made the cab 3 with Vitabita.Even though I'm always sick everywhere, I feel like I'm in the climax.Aero makes SB rodeo again on BIG, but does not reach the mark and faces the second one.The remaining Daniel challenged 1 from the heel side but failed due to omission. The ranking did not move in the second run, and it was decided that Mark Andre Tale, a bright Canadian, won the TOYOTA BIG AIR 900th!
