15.16 PSA ASIA Snowboard Pro Tour round 2
2016/1/31 PSA ASIA Pro Tour Round 2
"Muscle rectification method TAKAHIRO Memorial CUP SNOWBOARD CROSS" which is a memorial tournament of Mr. Takahiro Oguchi held every year
At Kurumayama Kogen Ski Resort.
The weather is sunny.
Good visibility.
It was a perfect day for the tournament.
The course is a speedy course that requires vertical sections and carving skills.
Immediately after the start, it is necessary to make adjustments with soft movements, and in the second half, skill to run the board, line taking, and polite landing are required.
The four men who advanced to the men's final were Kohei Motoki, Yuki Motoki, Daisuke Watanabe, and Shoki Iino.
Kohei Motoki, who was showing the fastest speed from the vertical section of the first half, went forward from the start and won the championship as it was without danger.
His younger brother, Yuki Motoki, came in second, making it his first brother's one-two finish.
Daisuke Watanabe and Shoki Iino also showed stable slips, but they couldn't match the speed of today's Motoki brothers.
Win Kohei Motoki
2nd place Yuki Motoki
XNUMXrd place Daisuke Watanabe
XNUMXth place Shoki Iino
XNUMXth place Kyohei Takahashi
XNUMXth place Motofumi Makieda
In the women's final, Maria Tomita, who has shown a tremendous speed from the first round, Kanae Maeda who has been riding every time, Hiromi Konno, a finalist, and Tomoko Kamada, who was 4th last time.
Maria Tomita, who is still stable, jumped out of the start.
Tomita slowed down at the second bank due to an edging mistake.
Maeda, who successfully passed by, dances to the top.
However, Tomita who rebuilt the system is chasing after.
In the latter half of the race, Tomita lined up again with Maeda, but Maeda blocked the line well and escaped as it was, and Maeda won the first victory.
Win Kanae Maeda
2nd place Maria Tomita
XNUMXrd place Hiromi Konno
We would like to thank Mr. Oguchi and Mr. Kurumayama Kogen who have sponsored the tournament for many years.
It was the best tournament.
