The second LIBTECH VOLCANO TEAM TRIAL was held on March 3th in a pleasant sunny day.This was the first time in two seasons that the event was not held last year due to lack of snow.Many participants were looking forward to this tournament.The item is the same special kicker & VOLCANO as last time.Speaking of Yuzawa's digger, they worked on the SNOW CASE crew.The venue this time is the Okusoechi area, which has a lot of snow in Maiko Snow Resort.It's a place where you can enjoy deep powder during the high season.Due to the abundance of snow this time, a section with even more power than the previous time was created.The kicker has a wide lip so that three people can fly at the same time.It's a pretty huge kicker, reminiscent of the X Games kicker.And following the kicker is the regular hexahedron VOLCANO. VOLCANO was also the first in two years and had evolved even further.

Following the team trial, individual competitions were also held this year.First of all, from the jam session of the team battle, 8 teams will be decided to win in this jam session.First of all, check the kicker and VOLCANO from the public practice.Teamwork is the key to this event. No matter how good one person slips, if he doesn't breathe, it won't be a good evaluation.And how to use VOLCANO is also the key.After all it is flashy to show breathtaking jumps from the left, front, and right.You can use only the front, but it's better to play all three sides.

The sense of approach is also a very important point!

At first, the speed of the approach, the timing to fly VOLCANO, and the participants who were confused about the trick choice also adjusted well as the number flew.Rigel and KMY, who are locally composed in Uonuma, showed good teamwork from the jam session.All of Riguel hold hands and approach the kicker at the same time, showing a good style. In KMY, the timing of each approach speed was perfectly matched.If you get out of the kicker at the right time, you can easily get the timing of VOLCANO.Eight teams, excluding the team operator, won the jam session.To the final tournament of knockdown.

The key to individual battles is how well you can show off your style and successfully capture VOLCANO.Unlike team battles, I was playing VOLCANO in the form of my own feelings.The young slope styler showed a high rotation in VOLCANO, and there was a different kind of fun from the style-based team battle.
