This season has been blessed with snow since December, and powder news has arrived from all over the country, but from the day before, a moist southerly wind flowed toward the front that crosses Japan, and it was raining.Well?
However, the number of participants who gathered because it had nothing to do with some rain was 58 boys and 18 girls, a total of 76 people.It's wonderful everyone.
January 2006, 1 The Snow Bancho Road to RJC in Iizuna Resort was held on the day when the snow season began in earnest as the New Year began.
This is the third round of the Road to RJC series.
Let me introduce it just in case.
RJC (RAIL JAM CALLANGE) is RAIL's strongest amateur deciding match held the day before SlopeStyle, and the battle for the right to participate in this RJC is the Road to RJC series.
This season has been blessed with snow since December, and powder news has arrived from all over the country, but from the day before, a moist southerly wind flowed toward the front that crosses Japan, and it was raining.Well?
However, the number of participants who gathered because it had nothing to do with some rain was 58 boys and 18 girls, a total of 76 people.It's wonderful everyone.
And it was the AREA 51s digger crew who produced Yukibancho Park at Iizuna Resort that built the contest venue this time.You're doing a good job ~.
The installed items are 2WAY, flat-down rails and up-flat-up-down M-shaped boxes.It's a fashionable item that can be styled no matter which one you choose.
In addition, two people from FC, ZAPPE (Kazuhiko Iwamura) and Tagken (Kenji Taguri), will judge the contest.Bruise in the rain!

Session starts with MC TAKA's mellow call!
The number of people gathered this time is large, but the level is also high.Even though it's an approach that is a little slow, including rain, everyone comes out with a precise style.Difficult techniques were also bang-bang, and there were many switch entries.Participants who make up while taking selfies with a camera installed on the helmet, and participants who did not advance to the final but made 270in270out perfectly on the rails.
In the qualifying round, 3 men each in 6 sessions for boys won.The girls were scheduled to win 2 people each in 5 sessions, but 6 people won because there was a tie in the B session.
Well, in the final, during the course maintenance after qualifying, the AREA51s crew made an approach for side-in with Sokko.This will increase the variety of tricks.
First of all, the women's final.At the final level, the men around there are dented.The rails and boxes are squeezed tightly to bring out the style, and 180in or 270out from the switch is lightly made.
The men's final is also cool!Even though it's a difficult approach to speed, full ollie transfer, pretzel out from the front board and backside lip slide! !!It's too high tech to keep up.
The rain that I was worried about stopped a little during the contest, and there was not much effect on the rain, and I was able to make up to the final safely.
The final result is as follows.

Right: WOMEN 1st: Mitori Otomi

Some of them may be able to fight professional riders with the SlopeStyle Rail Jam.

During the tournament, we confirmed the safety using a transceiver made by "Icom".This transceiver is a type that can be used by amateurs, and is very active in snowy mountains. (Courtesy: Sunshine Talk Co., Ltd.)
