The Rite of Spring MINAKAMI VIBES will be held again this year for two days from April 4th (Sat) to April 14th (Sun).At Tenjindaira Ski Resort in Gunma PrefectureIt was held.The annual giant VIBES PARK created by Naonori Katsuyama and Minaka Midigers.What kind of session was this year?
The attraction of this event, which has entered its 8th year as MINAKAMI VIBES, is the park quality that is surprising every year."Giant VIBES PARK" created by Naonori Katsuyama & Minaka Midigers who lead the scene of Gunma and Mt. Tanigawa.The park began construction 12 days before the event. FBOfficial pageLooking at, the progress is introduced with photos, but Naonori Katsuyama decided the whole picture of the park,Naoto Morota, who is in charge of the operator and is a famous master, collects snow and starts work.afterwardsMinaka Midi Guards shape small bank lines and sometimesWhile working at nightThe best stage was prepared.
A park that is safer and smoother with new ideas
This year, the amount of snow during this period was less than usual, but even in such a situation, a huge terrain PARK, which is a good example every year, was completed.Like this event, the flow from the bank line that can accelerate speedily to the big size end bowl is still alive this year.And not only the lines connecting by the terrain but also the jump section that attracts fleece is collaborated, so it is worth seeing.It goes without saying that all the participating riders praise it as "the best line that can be connected smoothly at top speed", but you can actually slide and experience the speed and the best G you feel in the bank. did it.
Moreover, this year, the end bowl was upgraded with a drainage ditch-like tunnel hole.With this escape line, you can safely and smoothly get out of the park.I felt that this safety design was a very important factor because the participation of kids in this event has been increasing in recent years.With this idea, even if you enter the park with a train of about XNUMX people during the session, everyone can get out smoothly.Needless to say, the feeling of a session with friends has improved dramatically.
A style that pursues what you like
It didn't rain on the first day, but there was a lot of time covered with gas. On the second day, due to the passage of a low pressure system, the forecast for Tenjindaira was all-day rain forecast, but the rain on that day was miraculously unnoticeable.The gas and wind were a little strong, but I managed to play.Meanwhile, Naonori Katsuyama frequently calls out with MC's microphone, "Minakami Vibes that is in harmony with nature, not to be defeated by rain, not to be defeated by wind, and not to be defeated by gas."There is a VIBES event of the stone. If you look up the word VIBES in a dictionary, you will find "feelings, atmosphere".Yes, this event is irresistible because I like snowboarding, and no matter what the conditions, I will continue to enjoy what I like.It is an event where snowboarders with such "feelings" named VIBES gather from all over the country.That's why the gathered participants enjoyed snowboarding purely by slipping through the best parks for two full days without worrying about the weather.
Since it is an event that puts such a slipper first, Naonori Katsuyama and others want to make the time to slide as long as possible, so during the session, the prize presentation time from the sponsoring brand that was held at the end of the event every year changed.The people in charge of the brands behind the event will present presents on the spot to those who ride cool during the session.By changing the system, you can enjoy the session until the last minute when the ropeway ends.The new idea around here is also the best because the slipper organizes the event, and the event feeling of "slip-oriented" is very strong.
The impression that there were many participants this year, especially in the dual wield style of snowboarding and snow skating.In addition, a session on a special snowboard course that Atsushi Gomei suddenly created at the end of the park in one hour was also lively, and it seems that the evolution of snowboarding & snowboarding & snowboarding and horizontal nori culture on snow has permeated users. Felt.
This event is filled with the real thrill of spring snowboarding.In the background, water locals and riders work together to create the best park and atmosphere, and send real snowboarding to Bing.That is why the participants who gathered here also firmly felt the VIBES released by this site, and once again felt that it was an event where real snowboarders gathered.Evolve little by little year by yearMINAKAMI VIBES.I'm looking forward to seeing what new ideas will be introduced next year.
