Last season, there was a lack of snow, which left many people feeling like they hadn't quite gotten their fill.
As the news reports, the La Niña phenomenon is predicted to occur from December 2024 to February 12 this season, and I'm sure it will be a fun winter.
If that's the case, the desire to improve your snowboarding skills will be even stronger this season. Many people will start preparing their gear first.
I have a suggestion for people like you.
It's important to have the right gear for you.
But how seriously do you take your own physical safety?
Challenge is essential to improve.
How can I face and master things that I have not been able to do until now?
In other words"Without challenges there can be no improvement"'S.
However, there is no point in taking on a challenge if you are afraid of failure.
Fear makes the body tense and stiff, making movements awkward and less conducive to success.
In other words, How do you eliminate fear and relax to improve?
For thatThe peace of mind that even if you fail, it's okay and it won't hurtTo obtain.
That's why protectors are so effective.
Protectors greatly reduce the impact of falls, such as hitting your waist when landing from a jump or hitting your buttocks on a jib item.
But here's another thing to note.
"If the protector doesn't have good performance, it's meaningless."
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of poor quality protectors on the market that are just made with low-quality urethane sewn in and don't provide much in the way of shock absorption.
If that's the case, no matter how much you wear it, it won't be effective enough and it probably won't fit well.
(1) It is very important that the protector is equipped with padding that can absorb shocks well.
(2) Does the mask fit your body securely and is it designed to keep the pad in place?
(3) Does it make it difficult to move when you wear it? Does it become stuffy or uncomfortable when you sweat after wearing it for a long time?
By getting good quality protectors, you will improve much faster.
What is a trustworthy protector?
As expected, it's best to choose from high-performance protector brands that are used by professional riders.
ARK is a brand that has always earned a high level of trust and is used by many professional riders, including the world's top riders, sisters Sena and Ruki Tomita, Haruna Matsumoto, Kaito Hamada, and Yuuri Okubo, who has recently been active in free riding.
The reason is that we receive feedback from riders, constantly make improvements, and continue to evolve into better products.
Development is constantly ongoing, paying particular attention to not only the materials used for the pads, but also fine-tuning the stitching, the actual fit, the silhouette when worn, and the texture and design of the protector itself.
