YOROI was used as the costume for the battle scene in the violent action movie starring Dean Fujioka. This body protector, which combines a rugged appearance and functional beauty, has been around for over 20 years and has protected the bodies of many snowboarders.
However, BAYLEAF, the company that develops and sells YOROI, is not only concerned with ``physically reducing injuries,'' but also produces items that ``reduce injuries through improved technology.'' This is a long skateboard that helps you improve your snowboarding turning skills. In fact, the company has been involved in skateboard development for over 20 years and has a wide range of know-how. And, in the current lineup, there are many long skates that can be used to train your carving sense.
In the first place, off-training using a skateboard is said to sharpen the sense of balance necessary for riding a snowboard, and is also useful for strengthening the core of the body used when riding. The design focuses on these elements.Here we will introduce two new models.
First of all, we are familiar with "Snowboarding Sensei"Favored by Kenichi TakizawaFUSING 41-LP-WB. model nameIt is a long ski that is suitable for fast turns like a wind god, and is designed to allow you to enjoy everything from powerful downhills using centrifugal force to carving with small turns.

▷Size: 104.1cm × 25.4cm
▷Price: 61,818JPY
The other model is the RISING 1-PP, which is good at riding with lightning-like quickness, sharpness, and good rotational performance. This is a model supervised by Takanori Shirakawa, who is the motion analysis coach for the Japanese national snowboard halfpipe team. It uses a surfskate-style upstruck that gives a feeling when turning that is very similar to carving on snow, and provides a new ride comfort that allows you to enjoy the torsion of a snowboard due to the narrowing of the waist.

▷Price: 39,800JPY
Both wheels use an offset (core part is closer to the inside) structure that exquisitely brings out the sensation of bounce when turning, and the structure and thickness of the deck material are matched to the length of each model's track and deck. This makes it an item that will lead to more effective off-training by enjoying snowboarding activities such as carving, sliding, and grazing while keeping in mind snowboarding.
Train your snowboard turning skills during the season without snow. At first glance, training may seem like a contradiction, butYOROI Skateboards will make that a reality.
The biggest feature is that it is equipped with water bones, a truck joint part imported from California, USA. If you equip the nose with the Waterbone Surf Adapter, the movement of twisting your body forward will become more natural! By simply rotating the blue coin-shaped part, the height of the dogleg part can be customized in three ways, and can be adjusted up to 3 degrees. This allows you to adjust the depth of the curve to your preference and terrain. In addition, the water bone rail adapter installed on the tail adds a suspension function that makes it easy to balance according to the swing of the nose. This makes it difficult for your body to fall off the board even if the board is tilted. The bend of this tail is directly connected to the ease of riding, and it is said that even those with no skateboarding experience can master this model in as little as 10 minutes.
``The quality of my turns has improved dramatically since I started doing off-training on a long skate.FUSING is especially recommended for improving carving skills.Because you can practice in a stance similar to a snowboard, you can improve your carving posture. Because you can skate while imagining it.You can practice turning while being conscious of your body axis and trunk.If you equip the tail side with a water bone rail adapter, it is perfect for practicing stepping into the board with your back foot. If you equip the nose side with the Waterbone Surf Adapter, you can develop a feeling similar to short turns.The biggest advantage of skateboarding is that you can practice repeatedly in an environment with little change.Check the movements necessary for carving in detail. However, you can practice over and over again, so you can hone your carving skills even in seasons without snow.I also recommend it because it's more compact than the JUJU I've been using, making it more convenient to carry.''
Motion analysis research by Takanori Shirakawa, who is currently the coach of the Japanese national team, has shown that surf skates are effective for off-training, such as adjusting the stance position of a snowboard and movements that lead to drop-ins. is also used in lessons by the Japan team. It seems that the feeling of pressing down hard when carving is very similar to the feeling of turning on snow, and it has received high praise. The RISING 36-PP deck has an exquisite balance of bamboo, glass fiber, and maple thickness to maximize the combination with this upstruck, and has a deep flex when you step on it, and a bouncy flex on return (repulsion). It has been finished.
``RISING has a length of 91.4cm, a waist width of 25.4cm, and a cambered deck that generates rebound from bending and accelerates with each turn.A slightly higher riser pad is standard equipment. Because of this, the amount of inward tilt of the board is large, and its rotational performance is higher than that of FUSING.This model is recommended for those who want to make deeper and smaller bends.
