Round 9
half pipe
PSA halfpipe in Nango 40th Anniversary
Following the slopestyle of Round8, a half-pipe pro-Am open match was held at Nango Ski Resort.
The Aizu Kogen Nango Ski Resort, which became the main tournament, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, and it is blessed with sufficient snowfall unlike last season when there was a shortage of snow, and each player is expected to face the tournament in the best condition. I've done it.
However, due to the influx of extremely strong chills, the tournament suffered from blizzards as it did last year.
Due to the strong wind, the women's public practice started one hour later due to whiteout, and even after the strong wind blew and the start call was made, some players could not start easily.
Six girls and 12 boys passed the qualifying round, and the final was contested.
Even in bad weather, the players who definitely decided their routine were able to advance to the final.
The final starts from girls.The weather was still very severe with poor visibility in the blizzard.
The men's final was also a high-level battle, with strong winds and heavy snowfall, and the finalists playing big tricks one after another despite the bad weather in the situation where the board did not run.
The winner is Masakaze Yoshida.From the back site 540 to the front 720, cab 720, rodeo 540, Yoshida also achieved consecutive victories. Second place is Shuichiro Shigeno, front 2-back side 900-front 540-cab 720-indie grab.The high-impact front 720 was put into the first technique to excite the venue, and the podium from the amateur was decided. Hironori Nagata is in 900rd place.He made a backside 3, a rodeo 4, a cavalerial, and a rodeo 720 from the indie grab and decided to win the prize. 540th is Reo Otsuka and Rodeo 5-Cabaret Real-Indy-Backside 900. 360th is Riki Maeda and Frontside Mute Grab-Backside Mute Grab-Front 540-Backside Mute Grab-Front 540. 900 Ryota Yabu decided the backside XNUMX-front XNUMX-backside XNUMX from the air.

2nd place Shuichiro Shigeno (amateur)
3rd place Hironori Nagata
4th place Reo Otsuka
5th place Riki Maeda (amateur)
6th place Ryota Yabu (amateur)
First place is Mitsuki Ono. From cab1, he won the indie-backside 720-front 540 and achieved consecutive victories. With a spectacular slip, such as deciding the cab360, he won the top spot in both the qualifying finals. In 720nd place was Kazumasa Kita, who was indie grab-tweak-front 540-mute grab-front 360, and was able to beat the pros in a trial from an amateur and smashed into 3nd place. 360rd place is Mie Uchiyama.Mute Grab-Indy Grab-Tweak-Front XNUMX-Cabaret Real, despite the first time in three years due to the height and stability of the dantotsu, he won the prize.
Winner Mitsuki Ono
2nd place Kaori Kita (amateur)
3rd place Mie Uchiyama
While there were some players who couldn't put out their abilities due to bad weather, I hope that Ono and Yoshida, who have definitely put out their abilities and attracted the victory, will lead the PSA ASIA Pro Tour in the future.
