2/8 (Friday).Bryan Iguchi has arrived at the Hakuba Tsugaike Kogen Ski Resort.The purpose is to participate in "Ride With GUCH".Gucci, who seemed to like Hakuba for the first time last year and was looking forward to coming to Japan this time.This year, his family (wife and two sons) came to Japan with him and participated in the event.Gucci always has a calm atmosphere and an impressive smile, but this time it was a precious day where you can see a gentle face not only as a rider but also as a father because he is with his family.

Participants also aggravated the appearance and greetings of Mr. Gucci at the opening ceremony, and moved to the mountaintop with that atmosphere.After taking a commemorative photo, riding started.The weather on this day was sunny at the beginning.The best view overlooking the sea of ​​clouds.The slopes were a little windy and a little hard-packed, but the participants and the Brian family didn't have to worry about it, and they skated in a harmonious atmosphere.Gucci slides on a comfortable line while keeping the speed that everyone can keep up with in a wide open burn.Participants also chase from behind so as not to overlook Gucci's slip.After skiing several of the same course, head to Parkburn.Gucci is also mixed in the line waiting for the kicker, picking up the terrain on the side, and the sense of distance with the participants is close.And I was able to see Gucci's old tweak while flowing through the park!Impressed !!

During the event, there was a scene where he was concerned about his two sons, and the adults around him smiled and watched over him.Of course, I could see that he was paying attention to the fans and thinking about whether everyone was having fun, and I felt the goodness of his personality even more.When I talked to the participants who were with me on the way, it seemed that I was biting the joy and preciousness of slipping with Gucci.
