If you go to Nagano, you will find Obuse Kings.SNOVA if you return to Kanto.
I mainly use these two facilities during this off-season.
Obuse Kings is a facility owned by Poseur's Production (President Yasuhiro Sato), the parent company of our team "FIRST CHILDREN".
SNOVA Mizonokuchi is a sponsor facility that was invited and supported when professional activities got on track to some extent.
Mr. Yasu has been watching the activities since I started running, so he shows a great understanding of going back and forth between SNOVA and Obuse.
At the time of the contract, the SNOVA side also made the contract after understanding my opinion that "I will go to other facilities so that the range of activities will not be narrowed even if I contract."
So, if you use both, it's not as simple as simply calling it an "off-season facility."
First of all, SNOVA still has a snow surface (though not snow).You can feel the snowy mountains closest to you.You can know the completion of the technique, the risk of falling, the feeling of stepping on the snow, everything.
The jib tricks that I have taken more often these days and the improvement of the perfection of the park jump so far are all learned by SNOVA.
Kings, on the other hand, can challenge tricks that he can't usually do.
Easy to practice high-risk big tricks.
It would have been impossible without Kings to be able to do double cork in the snowy mountains.
You can practice basic body positioning on the snow surface, and if you can do that, you can have a brush approach with a high degree of freedom.
Also, even if it's not a big skill, if you can fall well on the mat, it's easy to try anything.
I think it's a place where you can really enjoy pop music as much as the fear of jumping becomes easier.
So from the time I started practicing at Kobe Kings
1 "Practice some big tricks with Kings"
↓
2 "Practice with SNOVA when the landing posture is stable"
↓
3 "Challenge in the snowy mountains"
I am doing it in the flow of.
As expected, double cork is unlikely to be possible with the SNOVA kicker, so I hit it in the snowy mountains.
However, a number of tricks such as the misaligned BS900 tail and SB rodeo can now be done in this way.
Currently, the Underflip 900 is in stage 2 and is stable, so I'm waiting to try it in winter.
What is difficult to try in the snowy mountains is that it is difficult to "concentrate only on that technique" that you do in the flow of sliding a long distance in the snowy mountain park, and the conditions are different every day, so it is repeated. It's hard to practice.
Before that, I feel like I'm going to have a pain if I haven't been able to do it with SNOVA to some extent.
And even if I try it with SNOVA, I will be spoiled because the landing of Kings is matte, and even if I try it with SNOVA or snowy mountains while jumping ignoring the landing forever, I will see pain someday.
As a bad example
... When the SB rodeo was able to land on the Kings from his feet, I immediately went to try it without improving the accuracy.At that time, I thought it was okay because I was getting off my feet, but I did it with the upper body covered badly at the time of landing, so I could not control the board after landing and I felt intensely painful at the reverse edge. did.
・ ・ ・ Double back flip that could be simply turned around.Try with SNOVA even more recklessly without remembering the flight time and rotation control. → Abara fracture with a single blow.
The bad case is also an experience.So
・ I don't have the courage to start on the snow.
・ Skill up with SNOVA for "landing", which is only within the imagination whether it was made or not on the mat.
And if it ’s a maniac place
Positioning such as how to use the upper body is Kings.
The feeling of the soles of the snow is SNOVA.
Roughly speaking, raise the accuracy of the technique up to XNUMX% with Kings, and the remaining XNUMX% with SNOVA.
The technique that SNOVA can't do is Kings, and after finishing the first XNUMX% to a level that can be done with humming, the remaining XNUMX% is tried with a spirit in the snowy mountains.
I think this is the best way for me to spend my time safely in the snowy mountains with less injuries and to improve steadily.
A bold young man may be able to step from 1 to 3.
Some people may suddenly start from 3.
However, even though I was a professional, I started snowboarding at the age of 20. There is no snowy mountain anywhere. A person who grew up in a normal middle-class family from Saitama.
He is a person who has no talent or pedigree for snowboarding.
Do 1 → 2 → 3 in order, but overwhelmingly in a short time.Do it honestly.
As a result, I would like to do my best so that I can line up in the same place as other professional riders.
So far my story.
It is natural that it is a major premise to convey the fun and how to enjoy it.
However, that plus, after all, it supports me as a professional rider, so I think it is absolutely necessary for me to improve my abilities in a real way.
However, I want people who come to enjoy each stance.
Not everyone needs to aim for double cork.
I just want to fly to my heart's content in a size that I wouldn't normally fly, so I'll fly with Kings!
Some people say.
I'm only doing jib, so I'm not interested in jumping, and I'm full with only the SNOVA rails! !!
Some people say.
It's fun because I have friends if I go!
But it's okay.
I think it is best for each person who goes there to discover the meaning and value of going there and enjoy it.

I wanted to say this.
