happy New Year!
I opened this blog at the end of last year.
I would like to report another announcement that was decided at the same time.
Since a senior rider who was a director of PSA (Pro Snowboarders Association) resigned from the board of directors last year, an election was held among PSA members at the recommendation of other directors, and I myself am also an association. I became a board member and took up the post of Deputy Director of Freestyle.
We JSBA (Japan Snowboarding Association) officially certified professional snowboarders
Each of them belongs to PSA and has a license as a professional snowboarder and works individually.
What is PSA?
Alpine lace
Border cross
One-make jump, slopestyle, half-pipe freestyle event, etc.
It is a professional snowboarding association that holds a pro tour with a total prize pool of over XNUMX million yen.
It's been over 40 years since snowboarding was born.It's been almost 20 years since the Olympics.
There are as many ways to enjoy snowboarding as there are snowboard enthusiasts.
I think that snowboarding as a competition is one of the ways to enjoy it.
I started participating in snowboarding as a competition when I was XNUMX years old. I participated in the JSBA official competition and aimed to acquire professional qualifications.
Hmm?I wonder why?
Did you want to be a professional athlete?
Maybe I wanted people around me to recognize me because I'm fine but I don't have the means to express myself.
Did you want to be mixed with the senior riders who were active at that time?
That's it.At that time, there was a world snowboarding association that held the World Cup called ISF (International Snowboard Federation). The top PSA tour rankings were fighting the world on behalf of Japan.
cool.He has been active in competitions and has been featured in the media, and in magazines and videos, he conveys the fun and coolness of snowboarding to people he never actually meets.Because the seniors were very dazzling.So maybe I jumped into that world too.
Now
Due to my injury in XNUMX, I am still rehabilitating, so I cannot participate in the tour as a player.
There seems to be an opportunity to visit the competition field in a different way.I would like to write about those things again here.
Today is one of the professional activities I have been doing for more than XNUMX years
I will write the way of thinking as a professional snowboarder who participates in the Pro Tour.
I thought, but it has become unexpectedly long, so I will write it again next time w
Thank you again this year!
