The other day, at 12:14 on December 11, the award ceremony "RIDRES POLL 18" was held by TRANSWORLD SNOWBOARDING, which attracts the attention of snowboarders all over the world, to praise the efforts and achievements of professional snowboarders. Kazuhiro Kokubo, who had been nominated for the video recorded in "STRONGER." In the MEN'S VIDEO PART OF THE YEAR category, won the award over Board Merrill and Scott Stevens!
This is the first Japanese snowboarder to achieve this in all categories of the award ceremony.
The award ceremony was held at the Breckenridge Riverwalk Center in Colorado, and Kokubo, who went up to the stage of the award ceremony, said, "Thank you. Finally, I'm ichiban." I used the word "Ichiban" to say hello to joy.
Kazu spent all his time shooting this "STRONGER." Last season.In the last few years, he answered in an interview with our magazine that he has been sticking to the full part of the video and seriously thinking about what kind of slip he should attract and what he should convey.
Winning this award is a proof that snowboarders all over the world have recognized the full part, which was taken with great care and realized those things realistically.
In fact, Kazuhiro Kokubo has become the number one snowboarder in the world.
I'm proud that he is the same Japanese as us and that he is the best snowboarder in the world.
Congratulation Kazu!
