X-TRAIL JAM IN TOKYO DOME
This day has finally arrived this year! Only two of the 365 days are the days when hot snowboarders gather at Tokyo Dome.
The drama began on Saturday, December 12th at 13:6 PM.That is exactly the "drama without plot".
When I asked some people before arriving at the venue, Haku Suzuki, who was by far the most popular, lost the quarterpipe qualifying.It also fell with the kicker at the top and could not enter the quarter, marking the lowest 1 points in the history of X-TRAIL. (← It seems that you can't score unless you enter the quarter.) In a sense, it's a record that can't be rewritten.Well, I'm sure Haku will be fascinated by tomorrow's straight jump, so let's do it.
Haku's qualifying defeat was just a drama prologue for all of us watching.With the appearance of the finalists and overseas invited players, the stands will heat up.When Terrier's face was projected on the screen, the air inside the dome was already vibrating with cheers.
This quarterpipe session.It is no exaggeration to say that Rio Tahara left the strongest impression on the stand. Final JAM SESSION For the last 20 seconds, we did it as expected, our general, Rio !! Take off all your upper body, and make a slapstick, of course, a sloppy make-up !!!! Its height is 5M40.Needless to say, the audience was caught in a whirlpool of cheers ... My son Neo also appeared on the screen with great joy (?).
With great excitement, the stage went to Super Final.As high-level sessions continued, Rio, who was in very good shape, suddenly fell.While being supported by the staff, he seems to be unable to stand on his own feet, but climbs further up.Between whether it was okay and relieved.Fall again.What if I was injured in the appearance of dragging my legs?I was worried.Still crawling and still climbing the slope.How can I put the board on again?I seemed to hear such a cry that I would continue to slide as long as my consciousness continued.The appearance impressed everyone.Claps spring up from the stand.The last jump of the day I hoped for with one vibration at the venue.It collapsed at the same time as landing.The fact that Terrier flew with him along with the final jump may have been evidence of his respect for Rio.And Travis put his crown on Rio on the awards stage.Everyone respected Rio.Yes, Rio Tahara couldn't get on the podium, but he took off the new "Highest Air" from this year and returned to the podium with the Terriers.No worried injuries, lack of oxygen for the first time in my life!It seems that it was.The results are as follows.
Winner: Champion, revival of dignity!Terje Håkonsen (Norway)
Runner-up: Be sure to participate in the champagne fight!Travis Rice (USA)
XNUMXrd place: X-TRAIL JAM Make it a new face!Markku Koski (Finland)
Highest Air: Defeat "the tallest man in the world" Heiki!Rio Tahara (Japan) / 5M40
By the way, the right to participate in the Arctic Challenge was decided by Rio and Travis, who was given the right directly from Terrier. (Travis looks happy !!)

On Sunday, December 12th, when the straight jump was held, the temperature of the venue was higher than yesterday.The venue is already excited.The second day began with a loud cheer at the same time as the lights went out.
At the end of the qualifying round, eight people remained in the final round.Notable players such as defending champion Travis and Terrier who won the quarterpipe the day before were already disappearing from the final list, and big air with a high level from the qualifying was flying around the dome.
Of those eight, four are Japanese !! Tadashi Fuse has been active in SBN as well as Haku Suzuki and Mutsuo Yamaguchi, who are the seeds, with Tadashi Fuse taking the lead. Akifumi Hiraoka was on the list.By the way, another Japanese seed player, Teruhiko Ando, dived in Santa Claus in the introduction jump before the competition, and it seems that he smashed his head and sank into the landing while keeping the venue excited.Since I missed the competition, there were only two Japanese seed players. (It was a shame for the fans who were expecting a big jump from Terikobu, but I'm relieved that I wasn't injured.)
By the way, from this time, Final became a jam session, and it was a very spectacular session.Some players put their spins on the number of revolutions and smoothness, while others say that snowboarding isn't just about the number of revolutions. Mmm ... Pushing each other, enjoying skiing, competing, and going up steadily.For 180 minutes, I was so happy at the stand that I forgot to breathe.Waiting for the result while being thrilled in such a situation that it is not strange for anyone to leave.As a result, Gian Simmen, Haku Suzuki, and DCP got the ticket to the Super Final.
The Super Final was greeted with a strange excitement.Among them, when Haku Suzuki, who was the only Japanese person and remained in the Super Final for three consecutive years and became a regular in the Super Final, appeared at the start gate, the stand was all standing!The venue shook with clapping with Haku Cole !! As if to answer it, the cab 900 that everyone wanted to see was a clean hit !!! The venue and Haku himself were overjoyed.
I remember and got excited again by myself.If you calm down a little and tell the result of the straight jump,
Winner: Overwhelming Backside 900!Gian Simmen (Switzerland)
Runner-up: Runner-up for the third consecutive year, commenting that he is "miracle"!Haku Suzuki (Japan)
3rd place: DCP style always pleased the venue! DCP (Canada)
And Tadashi Fuse's Switch backside 720 was selected as the "Most Impressive Rider" newly established this year.Tadashi's big mountain style was also really cool.
The drama that showed the most excitement was in response to the call from the winner, Gian Simmen, "It wasn't the power of oneself, but the power of all the riders! Everyone should come to the stage !!" The curtain was closed with a champagne fight with all the riders.
It was often said that "reality is stranger than novels", and this year too, various dramas colored the history of X-TRAIL JAM.
Respect for all riders, all staff, and all the snowboarders who came to the venue!
Postscript: I found a person with a red SBN hoodie in the venue.Thank you to everyone who arrived !!!! I was very happy.
