Based in Hokkaido, Yuta Kiyohara expresses aggressiveness in smooth riding.
He has a gentle personality in the atmosphere, but he is also a playful rider who makes me laugh a lot, and he has a great sense of humor.In fact, I spent several weeks together, but it was very interesting, and I was a nice guy who could be happy and natural without getting tired.
Yuta Kiyohara is a remarkable rider who enjoys living with his beloved dog, Haru, while taking the outdoors as his stage throughout the year, such as snowboarding, skateboarding and mountain climbing.

2013) How was the 2014-XNUMX season?What kind of season did you spend?

In the 2013-2014 season, I was moving in search of good snow and good slopes.
This year, I moved mainly in Hokkaido, and in December and January, I enjoyed guiding in Niseko, going to the eastern Hokkaido area with a coif, and going to shoot in a tent at Men's Car Complex.

He smiles all the time. And we know he will.

XNUMX) I had a shoulder surgery this spring, why did you decide to have it now?

I dislocated for the first time last summer, and when I thought I was cured, I dislocated again during the season and became a habit. .. ..
When the pain subsided, I slipped to slip, so I was slipping while rehabilitating, but I was dislocated during shooting or removed it before the trip, so I was not feeling well, so I decided to operate because I wanted to heal well and slip. I did.

Also He is humorist. Such as nice guy.

2012,2013) You participated in the World Heli Challenge in XNUMX, XNUMX and New Zealand. How did you feel after participating?

The tournament lasts for about two weeks, and during that time you can slide and chill with the riders who will be in the tournament, and I think it's a tournament that you can enjoy in a wonderful atmosphere.
Above all, helicopters will take you to the dangerous slopes and you will be able to slide!And I enjoyed the simplicity that the guy who likes it slides on his LINE.

It was also a tournament for filmers and photographers, and I realized that it was an event in which ordinary people who could see the work in a place like a movie theater also participated.

2012,2013 he competed The World Heli Challenge.

He was really close to the podium of WHC. got 4th, but good work!

2013) And in XNUMX, it was canceled due to unstable snow on Extreme DAY, and it was only Freestyle DAY and it was unfortunately XNUMXth place.

Freestyle DAY was like pack powder because it didn't snow easily, and 3.4 times it was a course where you could hit a cliff or a wind lip.
When I started to slide, I could jump, and it was quite long and my legs were fluttering.Lol
All the foreign riders are stiff and stiff, but they are quite tough and I enjoyed watching them, but I have to be strong against hard fields ...

Lots of international riders are respect him.you know why? you can tell from this photo!

Awesome Tweak! He enjoyed WHC2013.

Also, Taisuke, who is the same age as the skier, was skiing well and was afraid!
It can't be helped that there isn't enough snow or the condition is bad due to the play with nature, but it was a shock that Extreme DAY disappeared.
I wanted to slide on the slopes of Extreme Day rather than the ranking or the tournament, and I felt that I could go to a pretty good place if it was actually held.

2) Two years before Antti Autti decided to shoot in Niigata, he said, "I want to slide with Yuta Kiyohara," and how did you feel when you had a session with him who expressed freestyle in BC?

Ante came to the powder company several times in winter and had the timing to slip, and even slipped on a world helicopter.He is quite fond of Japan and has a terrain that he wants to slip on and things that he wants to do, so it was a place I had never slipped in Niigata, but I enjoyed the session.

I'm sure it's the same age as me, but I'm working on my own project by making a film crew with my friends, and even young Finnish people are hooking up and working, and they are doing good things that will lead to the next generation. thought.

When Antti Autti did shooting in Niigata, Yuta joined his filming as well.

XNUMX) You are known as a "dog lover" in the streets, but do you go to the snowy mountains with Harucho (your dog)?

Rather than going to the snowy mountains together, we are always together!It feels like a good partner for staying in a car or traveling for a long time.
I don't take it when it's cold for shooting, but the attendance rate is high after the warm spring.By all means, it appears in magazines and overseas DVDs, so please find it!

“Don't leave me YUTA!”

His lovely dog, HARU. Yuta is always with HARU.

XNUMX) Yuta has been using CAPiTA for a long time and seems to be on good terms with the president, Blue Montgomery. What made you decide?

I haven't seen him for a long time recently, and sometimes I email him, but the reason was that I had a company that was a distributor of CAPiTA support boots and bindings, but The Slope was an event. Wonder?Take me.
At that time, I was drinking and slipping with Blue who came to work in Japan, and that was the trigger.
At that time, I was riding Libtech, but I didn't expect to ride CAPiTA in a few years.It was just when my snowboard brand was disbanded, so the timing was good, and Blue remembered me and talked to me, so I'm still riding CAPiTA.

He is riding for CAPiTA, and where does he normally riding? Yeah like this field!

XNUMX) And Kazuhiro Kokubo, who is a leader in Stonep, is now a teammate.

is not it!I'm glad that Kazu has been working with me since I was little!
In the previous story, when I met Blue, I introduced Kazu and skated with him, so I think it's a very natural flow now.

XNUMX) Is there a snowboarding style that Yuta is aiming for?

Is it snowboarding that you can level up forever and enjoy snowboarding with your friends?

Fun riding with Kohei Kudo. Looks fun bro!
