RIDE FOR SMILE vol.4 Akakura White Costume Story
Professional snowboarder Itaru Fujinuma and self-proclaimed entertainment world No. 1 snowboarder comedian Iwa-chan continue to rehabilitate with the aim of recovering from a serious injury that was said to be difficult to walk.
Strangely, they were born on the same day.
The XNUMXth enjoyable snowy mountain trip where two people who have something in common, snowboarding and Sagittarius men who like laughter, travel in search of snow, laughter and fun.
This time, there was a request from Iwata who likes snowboard jumping so much that he worked hard at off-training at mat jump facilities such as Saitama Quest during the off-season. I visited Akakura Kanko Resort Ski Resort.
At Myoko / Akakura Kanko Ski Resort
Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, where powder freaks gather from all over the world every year.Among them, Akakura Kanko Resort Ski Resort is one of my favorite ski resorts that I have been indebted to for various shootings.
In recent years, in the top season of sightseeing in Akakura, when you enter the base cafe Primos with the intention of taking a break, most of the customers are foreigners, which makes you forget that you are in Japan.
However, even in the Akakura area, which was crowded with many skiers and snowboarders from the Southern Hemisphere and Western countries in search of the finest deep powder, many foreign customers return to their home countries in the spring. is.Instead, Japanese customers come from various areas of Japan in search of residual snow.
Until now, Madarao Kogen has been seeking powder, and Yunomaru has continued to make trips aimed at improving carving power, but this time in response to Iwata's request to fly a lot of jumps in the spring weather, the total I went to check out the spring park of Akakura sightseeing, which was rumored to be able to fly eight jumps.
▲ Spring Park (Main Park)
▲ Spring Park (Hotel and kicker)
LATE members and fun rides
What has been waiting for us on the slopes is Ryuta Tanaka (FANATIC, Liu), who has maintained the park as an AKAKAN digger during the season and is also active as a member of the popular snowboard How to movie production "LATE project" in recent years. Two people, Yui Kimura (SABRINA, Kim unnie), who is a bomb sister in the west who makes people laugh with a loose Kansai dialect and also participates in the tournament.
They asked the two people who knew all about Akakan Park to attend, saying that the cooperation of the two people was indispensable for the successful shooting in Akakan.
Iwa-chan and Ryu & Kim unnie who will meet for the first time.After exchanging a light greeting, the search began as soon as possible.
"But both of them are sober in clothing for professionals. Riders also have a job to stand out !? How about white clothing like me? It stands out and raises the tension."
"No, the top and bottom white is a little ..."
"It's a little white ... it gets dirty."The greetings ended with the two guest riders dismissing Iwata's proposed clothing top and bottom white plans, and we went to the slopes.
On the way to the gondola, we were surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere.It took about 15 minutes to withstand such air, and when we started slipping on the summit, our wear was white on the top and bottom (laughs).
In the first place, the project started with the story of wanting to fly a lot of jumps in the spring weather, but the upper part of the ski resort on that day was in the worst condition of visibility in the clouds. Even though it's mid-April ...
When you get off the gondola, you can see the scenery of midwinter ...It's snowing and the area is gas.
I was guided by the Diggers to the spring park, but it was hard to see the front.Meanwhile, I started to chase after Ryu, Kim, and Iwata.
Suddenly, Liu, the commander of the kamikaze unit, stops.
When I saw it, there was a sign that says "PARK".
"Is this a park?"
"This is the park. Can you see it? There is a jump over there."
"No, it looks like a hot spring (laughs)"
"It seems that the park was closed due to poor visibility!"
"OK! Spring park is over! Thank you for your hard work!"-

Hey hey hey! !! !! !! !! !!
No, I can't go home without taking a picture after slipping!I'm still talking in the parking lot and talking with Akakura Legend Mitsunobu Inagawa (OGASAKA) (laughs)
A little down the park, Captain Yoshinoman of AKAKAN Digger was closing the section.
Yoshinoman "I think the gas will clear up in a little while, so why don't you slip a few or take a break? I'll open the section from where it can be opened."
We were encouraged by the powerful comments of Captain Digger, and we went on a fun ride toward the gondola platform.
Speaking of which, maybe it's because of the white clothing, it seems that everyone is feeling uplifted and making a loud voice than usual?
Kim unnie made a very good voice on the bump slope (laughs)
After that, after encountering Makoto Tsuruta (NOVEMBER) next to the gondola platform, taking a lunch break, playing a little on the wall beside the course, and heading to Spring Park again, as Captain Yoshinoman said, kickers and boxes etc. Was open.
Due to the influence of the wet snow that had been falling from the morning, the deceleration on the approach was large, and the visibility was still unclear, so we gave up shooting the park and said that we would be on one narrow box at the same timing. When we focused on shooting and achieved that, the white group shouted with joy and the shooting was over.
▲ * (Note)
The three riders on the box did it perfectly, but it has been fixed due to the facial NG.
At a later date, AKAKAN Diggers sent me a movie showing the whole picture of the main park and spring park aiming for a sunny day.
Please see along with the day we spent laughing on this day.
