Owen

Sorry I made you wait! In 2017, I want to try Gratley's most popular "Owen"
by Kenichi Takizawa (Kenichi Takizawa: Rider introduction movie
Every time I do this "Owen" lesson, it's a trick that asks me to teach.
However, the road to makeup is not so easy.
This "Owen" can be said to be the culmination of Gratley's basic skills.
If you can do it smoothly, you will be a member of the advanced Gratley!

This is Owen's head family, "Jonah Owen", a tech nine rider.
Please check the linked video ♪
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=155&v=gSVzdaN-6jU&start=02:32&end=02:36
It's cool ~ ♪
This is the world's first recognized "Owen".
Maybe he doesn't know that his name is Gratri's name in Japan (laughs).

To be honest, Owen is a trick that is difficult to understand.Rather, the correct answer is disappearing because various people are doing it in various ways.
Originally, Gratley is not a competition, so there are no rules like regular acting, so the current situation is that arrangements are being added more and more according to individual interpretation.
The shape of my "Owen" has changed a lot when I watched the video of the head family after a long time.
Let's try to understand the basic movement of "Owen"!

Now, let me tell you about Owen's basic body movements.The point of Owen's makeup is the first step that is important to understand with your head!

Rotate the XNUMX degree plate toward the front and ride on the forefoot axis
First is the first rotation.Basically, it was entered from Aliexpress, but recently, some people enter from Aliexpress.

Stop the rotation after turning it XNUMX degrees.
The posture at this time is rewinding at the head family, but recently, the number of people who have become the tail press posture and keep the press posture is increasing.

XNUMX. While inserting the shuffle, change the shaft leg to the hind leg.
This is the key to "Owen".
I think you can see that the head family has firmly put in the shuffle (the action of reversing the rotation and shaking the board).
However, because this shuffle is difficult, it is also called Owen to stop the rotation and replace only the shaft foot without shuffling.
Also, without stopping the rotation, turning XNUMX degrees and then changing the shaft legs [Owen Modoki] is also an effective practice for making Owen.

XNUMX, change the axis foot and play
After changing the shaft foot to the hind foot, play using the repulsion of the board.
The feeling of playing is close to that of a guillotine, and when it is played, the board turns freely.
Some people do not play at this time, but go on a ride and delay one tempo, or start spinning with a pivot.

XNUMX. Play and turn the remaining rotations and make a total of XNUMX times.
From the beginning to the end of the technique, it will be rotated XNUMX degrees (one and a half rotations) in total.
The evolution of techniques has not stopped, and recently, it has been applied to various techniques such as those who connect to combos from here, and those who enter from other techniques and combo and occupy Owen.

These are the basic movements of Owen.
There are various styles, so even if you derail a little, it tends to be put together as Owen.

In fact, Owen is much easier to enter from the switch stance than to enter from the main instance.
I am also good at Owen, who usually enters from Switch.
Why? Take a look at the video [Four tricks needed for Owen].
・ Switch rewind
・ XNUMXin switch tail press
·guillotine
・ Owen-like

However, the first two, Switch Rewind and XNUMXin Switch Tail Press, are difficult.
Even if the rewand and tail press are made of main instance, it becomes difficult as soon as it becomes a switch.
I'm not very good at switch front tail press, so I've been practicing recently (laughs)
Switch rewind is not yet in a state where it can be shown to people (laughs)
Guillotine is actually better at switch entry.
There are many people who are better at nory front spin and switch entry for some reason ♪
As such, when you switch on, you have the advantage of being able to incorporate the techniques you are accustomed to.

If you're a fan of Norry Front Spins that's easier to switch on, Owen is also encouraged to start practicing with Switch Entry ♪
Let's understand Owen's movements first, then check each movement and practice!
Other late riders are giving detailed one-point advice, so please check it out ♪

In recent years, Speaking of Gratley, Owen is a trick that has become established by hearing the voice ♪
First, the stability of the pivot and the stability of the front tail press!
Front tail press from with pivot!
If you can't do this, you can't do Owen!
Let's practice until the front tail from the pivot is stable ♪
Secondly, make good use of the line of sight and the twist of the upper body!
From the front tail press with the pivot, I change the axle legs, but first of all, look!
It's a trick that stops for a moment in the form of a front tail press, so your body won't work well without this line of sight!
The upper body can be twisted by leading in the direction of turning the line of sight.
At this point, shift the axis to the reverse leg at once and turn it!
Let's be aware of Norry's backside spin ♪
Thirdly, the flow of the whole trick is important!
The most important thing for Owen!
Perfect the image of the whole flow!is!
At first, do not play the parts that you play and spin, but practice with the board on the snow surface.
Once you have a firm grasp of the overall flow, let's step in and chew on the cool Owen ♪
With the above three points, you too are Owen Master ♪

Junji Yamamoto (Junji Yamamoto: Rider introduction movie
When you stop at 1 270, the more you squeeze the lower and upper body, the cooler it is!
(Looking at the upper body firmly to the valley side. Lower body to the mountain side)
2 The higher the board, the cooler it is!
3 Good tempo!
The above 3 points are all!
The higher the degree of perfection as a technique, the higher the risk of falling.
However, this kind of technique is what makes it unique.
Let's pursue perfection and make a difference to our rivals!

Kenichi Jimbo (Kenichi Jimbo: Rider introduction movie
Think separately by 1 270 + 270
First, let's disassemble and check each movement.First, the nose compass 270, then change and return 270.
If you try this movement with the board on the ground, it will be easier to understand Owen's movement.
Move your eyes at the same time as changing the two legs
The line of sight at the first 270 is the front, and let's turn it once at the timing of changing and look at the front again.
Check to see if your eyes are down.
3 legs with 270 in the direction of rotation, then in the opposite direction of rotation
By making a reverse aperture with the lower body and upper body, stop at 270, change the load and return 270.
Especially if you are conscious of your feet, you can step on them when you put them on firmly and return them easily.
Try practicing with an understanding of your movements and keeping your eyes on it!
When Owen is made, the width of Gratley will expand, so let's arrange it in various ways! !!

Daiki Yoshitake (Daiki Yoshitake: Rider introduction movie
Owen is a difficult trick,
It's a complex of various tricks, so break it down and understand each one.
I think it's a good idea to practice.
1 First, the position of 270 degrees from the F compass (pivot).
This is the posture of the SW front tail, so let's make the posture of the W front tail by stopping and shifting only the upper body after turning 180 degrees.
2 The regular front tail will be when the next leg is replaced.
At this time, if you tap to the valley side while slightly returning from 270 to the reverse rotation, it will be easier to create a naturally squeezed front tail posture.
3 It is the last 270 out, but when you tap to the valley side while returning a little as explained in ㈪
If the upper body is not squeezed properly, the final XNUMX out will not be decided neatly, so please be aware of getting repulsion from the tightly squeezed front tail!

Owen combines an F compass (pivot) and a front tail press in both directions, so practice this basic trick firmly ☆
Also, since the upper and lower body are always twisted in the opposite direction, please practice while being aware of getting the next rotational force by twisting firmly ☆


Kazuki Tanaka (Paul Kazuki Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
This technique is quite difficult, so you need to be sure to understand the movement without the board.
The most important point is to play the video many times and analyze it patiently.
Start with the switch, be sure to follow this, and a total of 270 tricks in 270 + 540 combinations.
It should be your main instance when you start from the switch and finish the trick.

When you do the first 270 from the switch, you should be on the toes of your right foot, your line of sight is in the direction of travel.Keep the state.

Change your foot, get on the toes of your left foot, turn your right elbow clockwise, and turn your gaze clockwise in the direction of travel.Keep the state.

I play this left foot and turn it 270 times, but this is difficult at first, so please turn it with the press.The way to turn is the same for pressing and playing, so please remember the movement of the board firmly with the press.

Also, by keeping the condition, your feet will be stable and the feeling of stepping on the board will be naturally nurtured.It will be a simple exercise to change the press, but please practice well.
Also, if the timing to turn the right elbow is linked to the change and stepping, it will turn lightly, so please look for the timing while keeping the way of looking and how to use the right elbow.

Yohei Muroi (Yohei Muroi: Rider introduction movie
Be aware of twisting your upper body the first time you make 270 turns
Here, it is important to twist the upper body in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation to make a firm tame!
If you can't turn up to 270, be aware of the reverse lead of pulling your back hand and foot before starting the technique!

Hideki Kishinami (Hideki Kishinami: Rider introduction movie
Owen's trick is to be able to create a style for a moment at 270 °.
It is difficult to raise the board high from the beginning, so it is recommended to do it with butter at first.
If it stops for a moment at 270 °, return it 90 ° and attach the board.
By turning it back on, the body is twisted, so you can keep the rotational force until the end.

Rei Takahashi (Rei Takahashi: Rider introduction movie
Pivot 270 → Foot replacement → Tap 270
A technique that contains many important elements in riding, remounting, tapping, turning, and gratri.
What I think is the most important thing in Owen is how to use the upper body.

1 Stop rotation at pivot 270
2 Turn 270 with a tap after remounting
In order to do these two points properly, it is important to reverse the movements of the upper and lower body, and to operate the [Aperture].

1 By the time you reach Pivot 270, squeeze your upper body toward the valley.
2 Since the rotation is stopped here, put your foot on it and tap it, and at the same time, open your upper body and pull your body so that you can bring it to the target rotation direction.
Perhaps Owen will be completed with just this movement.

After that, you can create an original Owen by changing the way you enter, how you ride, and the rhythm.
It's an applied technique, so let's try various things ♪

Hyodo Ryu (Ryu Hyodo: Rider introduction movie
The way to enter is the same as the entry of Norry Spin peculiar to Gratley, but the usage of the body is front 270 in tap 270 out in jib
It's similar to the Shuffle Front 540 for slack and jumps.
I think the timing of the reverse twist and the timing of the tap are difficult, so let's watch the video carefully and imitate.
The point is to keep your eyes on the direction of travel up to 270.

Ryota Tanaka (Ryota Tanaka: Rider introduction movie
Part XNUMX Break down the movement
Do not turn your body beyond the second line of sight
XNUMX Break down the movement
When it comes to advanced tricks, it's a mixture of multiple tricks.
Practice carefully one by one to complete Owen

XNUMX Do not turn your body beyond your line of sight
If you turn your body beyond your line of sight, the next movement will be delayed or the board will shift too much, and you will lose the sharpness.
Stop where you want to stop.
Move / play where you move.When
Please be aware of the sharp Owen.
