Dirty PimpGANGSTA JIB SESSION has been held by FREE RUN in a tag team.The VOL.3 will be held on Saturday, February 2th at Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort. This event has been held for two years, but I would like to reiterate the concept here.This event is a session, not a jib contest.The key is how much you can express your skills and style with the special jib item.Jiba and Audience from all over the country,Dirty PimpCrew, Filmer & Photographer.How much did everyone at the venue get excited about this stage?That is all the answer.In this article, I'll look back at the session with photos and highlight movies.We asked the producer of Dirty Pimp about his thoughts on holding this event.

This GANGSTA JIB SESSION was planned as a place where the cutting-edge jib scene can be expressed not only by riders but also by jibers from all over the country.He approached me to talk about this eventDirty Pimp..Needless to say, this crew, whose main members are Masato Toda, Ryoki Ogawa, Shouma Takao, 34, and Yuya Akata, is a group of riders who are leading the Japanese street and jib scene.Featured in this season's FREE RUN magazineDirty PimpYoung Guns, Kairin Onozaki, Toichi Suzuki, and Satoshi Yoneno were also recognized by the crew, and a young rider who jumped into the world of video from last season.Some of them have been recognized for their success in this GANGSTA JIB SESSION and have become members of Dirty Pimp.
If you can play an active part in this event, you will have a chance to work with the best crew in the jib and street scene, and you will have the possibility to grow into a rider who will spark a new jib movement.
The guy who decided the cool technique, the guy who attacked, the guy who pulled out, the guy who is purely crazy.If you make a good technique, everyone will get excited.Everyone on the spot praises it.It doesn't matter if it's a rider or a general jibber.Just show off your style purely and make the venue excited.That style is what this session emphasizes.Results and prizes are of course available, but that's not all.The guy who was fascinated by the coolness here always has a future.In this session as well, I was able to find a dangerous next-generation rider.
From here, he is the organizer of GANGSTA JIB SESSION.This session was given to Mr. DP Yutaro Hirakami, producer and filmer of Dirty Pimp.Have them look back from a realistic perspective and hold an eventI heard your feelings.
-How did you want to hold this event in the first place?
As the number of jib events is decreasing in Japan, I wanted to liven up the jib scene by holding a session event where both amateurs and professionals can get excited together.Besides, I also like to see and shoot people attacking rails and boxes in various styles.
Every year, the highlight movies and photos of this event are published in the SBN FREERUN article, so I would like you to aim to appear here.
This is the highlight movie!
-This is the third time this year, but what are the points you were aware of in this section?
Recently, the number of overseas street videos that shoot two or more items like skating is increasing, but the current situation is that you can't really enjoy such a section in Japanese parks.So, at this event, I wanted to experience the layout, so while placing the main Don Quijote rail in the center, I installed line rails on the left and right.How do you get creative in this section?That is the point I was conscious of.
-You also prepared the Dirty Pimp Crew Award. The DP riders were also getting hot and had a session.Why is that?
Judging between crew members is difficult because it's hard to see.Also, if all the winners were DP crews, I thought it wouldn't be interesting for those who participated.However, I wanted the DP riders to slip seriously, so instead of being judged in the open class, I prepared a prize money in the crew saying, "Be the one who excited me the most!"
After all, I think it's a good place to ride sideways when a lot of people watch it and when someone decides a great trick, "I'll do it too!".It's my ideal to have an event that everyone, including the organizer, can enjoy, so I think it was great to feel the heat of the event and to feel it nearby.
-Tell us what you felt in this session?
It's the same every year, but after all everyone was attacking this year as well.I have the impression that there were many people who were very good at the amateur class.The level of the open class was high, and I was happy that I skated happily.
This year, I had a lot of snow on the spot so that I could pump in front of the items to run the board, but I wonder if there were many people struggling with that.Also, from the middleI had the impression that it was harder than expected because it snowed and the board did not run as expected.Next time, I would like to consider that and make it a more enjoyable section.
-Did you find any riders interested in this session?Please tell me the reason.
Is it Yamamoto Conrad?Even though I'm only 16 years old, my style is cool and good. He was in good shape at FINAL and he won the championship after all.From this year, we will be shooting the streets of Dirty Pimp together, so please look forward to the video!
-What do you think of the current jib scene?Tell us about the jib scenes and parks of general snowboarders, not the street scenes of riders.
I feel that the number of people doing jib is increasing recently.With this trend, if more interesting parks are created in various areas, I think that the number of people who play rails will increase and the jib scene will be lively.I think that there are many places in Japanese parks that emphasize safety, but even if the item is easy, I think that the fun will change considerably depending on the installation, so first install it differently at events etc. and it will be resident. I hope that many people will be addicted to the fun and depth of jib.
-Do you have any plans for what you want to do with this GANGSTA JIB SESSION in the future?
Regarding the installation, we will attack the fun and difficult limit that everyone can enjoy.After that, I would like to prepare an invitation frame other than the DP crew and gather various riders for this event.I want to have a session with everyone and take good pictures!
