Interview with Kazushi Yamauchi

His style created from a unique atmosphere cannot be expressed in a single word.
It may not be possible to imagine, but in fact, he interviewed Kazushi Yamauchi about how he changed his lifestyle and how he was shooting in Sweetgrass, as he was skating in a different field around the tournament. I will send it.

XNUMX) I think Hokkaido was blessed with a lot of snow last season, but what kind of activities were you doing?

Hokkaido was full of blessings of snow (laughs) It feels like I was shooting regularly with a lot of powder.There were many times when the snow and the weather were perfect, so the shooting was fulfilling.In the first half of the season, I went to Niseko and went to the road side and mountains with the car housing complex crew and BLUE BLOOD crew, and I guessed a good place.Honshu didn't have a chance to go.Because the condition of Hokkaido was good. When we had a session with the BLUEBLOOD crew and were shooting, we also checked the development of the wear and tested it together.BLUE BLOOD next year is in very good shape.Please look forward to it.


XNUMX) When you think of Mr. Yama, I think that some people have the image of people who have been slipping for a long time and have been spinning around in competitions, but the image has changed a lot compared to those days.

Certainly (laughs) the genre has changed.I think it changed because I was fascinated by the mountains.Of course I've always liked powder, but when I first went to Alaska or Jackson, I honestly thought "mountains are okay".After that, it was very big to start riding Gentem.The turn turned into a snow surfing slide. I am very grateful to Gentem.We asked them to expand the possibilities and enjoyment of grooming, hitting walls, and sliding in the mountains.

3) By the way, do you seem to have become a part of your lifestyle in India and yoga?

I was injured and stretched at first, but yoga was approaching from various places.While I was doing yoga myself, I realized that I was snow surfing and that yoga was a great match.It's not a movement but a rhythm.It is interesting that when you are doing yoga, you will inevitably meet good conditions and good time.The timing is all getting better.I think surfing is the same, but first of all, "meeting there is the first thing", so it is very important for me to be guided to good conditions.

XNUMX) By the way, have you ever been to India?

There are several times in India.Recently it was 4-4 years ago.I'm thinking of taking a pilgrimage tour of Indians from Nepal if the timing is right this summer.It's quite dangerous to go alone.I'm heading to Mt. Kangrinboqe, but it takes 4500 to XNUMX days to drive around the Trans Himalayas at an altitude of about XNUMXm.Kangrinboqe is said to be the best place in yoga philosophy.

2) Valhalla, the new Sweetgrass work for the first time in two years, will be released this fall.Mr. Yama participated as a rider, but what was the shooting like?

I stayed in the town of Nelson for one month last year and one month this year. I also went to Golden.I took a helicopter to the mountain lodge and stayed there for about a week.The weather was a bit unfavorable last month, but the conditions were very good this year.
The terrain was like a mountain swamp, and I wanted to choose a place where I could slip.When you get down to the bottom, there is a forest belt, and there is a big slope like Alaska that you often imagine. It was a situation where I could access quite a lot of places if I hike for about 2 hours. I think the second shoot went pretty well. The staff at Seetgrass was amazing.
How to use the RED camera and spotlight, and the story composition are wonderful.My shooting was like yoga in the morning sun and the setting sun, which was a lifestyle shot, and a scene where I was able to slide comfortably.I am also looking forward to seeing the final version.After that, I think I was able to make a good move by participating in the Gentem Bowl.
