"Owarai tarento," "snowboarder," and "professional wrestler." Interview with Dotechin Iwahara, who has three titles.We asked him what he was thinking about when he was doing each activity.
— What kind of activities are you doing these days?
Dotechin: My activity is like "Owarai tarento is snowboarding" and "Owarai tarento" is the subject.So, everything is centered around "laughing entertainers".Based on that, I try not to forget that "snowboarding" is a cool sport, and that "professional wrestling" stands in the sacred ring.
— When thinking about "showing technology to people," I think that "laughter" is the axis for laughter, "coolness" for snowboarding, and "strength" for professional wrestling, but laughter, snowboarders, and professional wrestlers. Do you feel that there is something in common, such as the ideas that are common to all of you?
Dotechin: Comedy, snowboarding, wrestling.What all three have in common is "a job that conveys technology and appeal to people."Therefore, I think that we must expose all of our efforts, failures, successes, and hardships to become "an existence that is supported by people."
-So what do you think is necessary to become a "good comedian," "good snowboarder," and "good professional wrestler"?
Dotechin: After all, I think it's "humanity".I do a prominent job, but all of them are supported by a lot of staff.Therefore, I think that people who can remember that feeling and turn it into power are considered "good".
— Then, I think that I would like to further improve my technique as I continue to snowboard.What kind of technique do you want to improve?
Dotechin: While focusing on flying a big kicker, I would like to try gratis and terrain tricks so that even beginners can show techniques that make snowboarding familiar.
— By the way, what gear are you using now?
Dotechin: The board is headARCHITECT148, Boolean is headEIGHT BOA, Binding is SP BindingsLAB.ONEis. ARCHITECT has a wide board repulsive force, nose and tail, so I like the fact that if you wait firmly with the kicker, it will ollie and your feet will be attracted. EIGHT BOA is a soft boot that is as close as possible to hard boots.It firmly conveys power to the board even at high speeds and rough terrain. Since sLAB.ONE has a wire high back, I like the fact that it supports your movements as if it sticks to your feet.It is reinforced with a plate and the response is improved, so it is the best because the edge switching from high speed snaps into place.
— What kind of person do you recommend?
Dotechin: ARCHITECT is for those who want to operate the board from side to side and up and down, such as freestyle, free run, and gratri, EIGHT BOA is for those who emphasize high speed response such as pipes and carving, and sLAB.ONE is for beginners and non-pipes. Recommended for those who are.

-I think you will continue to challenge various things, but what kind of "Dotechin Iwahara" is your ideal image?
Dotechin: I want to get the strongest body in the snowboarding world.I want to reign as an emperor with the strongest body, which is unrivaled, has an aura that is inevitable for people, and is twisted down with the body instead of words.
