It's been a little over a year since MyPage (commonly known as Maipe), an SNS for SBN members, was created, but communication using Maipe far exceeded the expectations of our staff, and new circles of snowboarding friends appeared all over the country. It seems to be spreading.By the way, this time I will mainly report on the sessions with such "Maipe-san".
<Left: Kome.Mr. ＞
A long-time SBN fan, he has been an aniki-like person who brings together Maipe-san in the Kanto region since My Page was created.He has a lot of friends on wakeboarding and snowboarding, and he's hated for his ability to act, such as setting up a wakeboarding jib contest last summer and creating opportunities for snowboarders to experience wakeboarding!
<Right: ikuw-chan>
ikuw is a professional wakeboarder.But snowboarding is still the 10th beginner.It's the same horizontal play, but it seems that there are many differences in how to use the body, and it seems that there are new discoveries every time.In other words, I think every snowboarder has experience, but it's the most fun thing right now.Such ikuw-chan is assaulting Alz for the first time!
I probably did snowboarding for the first time about 10 years ago.He rented all the equipment and went to the mountains for the time being, but I don't have much good memories.I didn't find it interesting at that time.
After that, I met a wakeboard, got hooked, and went into the water even in the middle of winter.Perhaps the effort paid off, I was able to decide to be promoted to the 8 professional class in the 2006th season.Now that we have decided to participate in the Pro Tour from next season, I wonder why I suddenly decided to start snowboarding, and I think that I should be doing my best and wake up more than ever.
That was when I met some snowboarders last summer because of the wake.Yes, this.Was the trigger.I made some friends there, had the opportunity to be invited to snowboard, and this winter I fell in love with snowboarding as if rolling down. (Ikuw)
SBN's "Maipe" allows you to exchange information with other snowboarders on a daily basis (conversational) through your diary.Also, I often meet people who have similar styles, hobbies, and frequent slopes.The session with Maipe is definitely fun!That's why I often go out to the snowy mountains with people I met at Maipe.
When I ran into the meeting place I wrote in my diary in advance, I was waved by Maipe-san, who I met for the first time in a long time.It's strange that some people know that they've been skating together only once or twice, but they're like best friends for ten years.On Maipe, when I met Maipe for the first time, even though I knew each other well, I was a little shy with "Nice to meet you!" And even delighted with "I finally met!".
This time, we will meet at Alts Bandai, where big competitions such as NIPPON OPEN and SLOPE STYLE will be held.I'm looking forward to what kind of session this time will be. (Kome.)
Ikuw-chan, who completely likes the entry park.
I decided to join the dismembered friends and go to the indie park.
After leaving the entry park, the next goal was an indie park.
It was a park for beginners, and it started with a small kicker and was arranged so that tables, trees for putting, flat boxes, curve boxes, rainbows, etc. could flow and slide.It seems that the good people who went with me also liked this park, so I think that even advanced people can enjoy it.All you need is courage.The pamphlet said that the park was designed to be safe for beginners, so I took the courage to enter the park.
In a word, the impression is "amusement park".
Start with the first kicker and slide through to the last box.There is nothing difficult.So when I tried my best, it seemed like I was able to do it unexpectedly.While I was playing, my fear disappeared and I was able to try various items.However, I just go beyond the items on this day.I was thrilled to see good people rubbing cool and doing 360 and grabs with kickers.
Now I'm wondering if I'll be able to do something like that just by crossing it. (Ikuw)
When Maipe and his friends get together, they board the lift all at once and start the session!
Have a good person teach you, show each other's skills, shoot, make up, and you're good to go! !!If you talk to each other, the tension will rise lightly about XNUMX times as much as usual.Even jib and kicker who are not good at it, everyone will support you, so let's challenge from simple things!I have the courage.If there are enough people to think that they have jacked the slopes, it's really fun just to run free.At breaks and lunch, there is no doubt that the usual story of Maipe and laughter will make you laugh.There are various ways to attack and enjoy depending on the slope and course, but if there is Maipe who goes to that slope, you can enjoy the round efficiently.Next is this!Next is over there!I went to all the delicious places. (Kome.)
With ikuw-chan, you're improving steadily in a short period of time.Is it because of the park design that is easy to enter?
Oh yeah, it's important to have friends who slide together.I want to be more humorous because we can stimulate each other.Of course, it's not overkill, but there are many parts that improve naturally just by sliding together.It would be nice if the Maipes who skated together could enjoy together by entering the park or free-running next to the park, depending on the level of the run.
With that, I was completely in hungry mode and gathered at The Rider's in front of the center park for lunch. (Continue···)
When I entered The Rider's, which overlooks the beautifully arranged center park, I was told "Welcome to Riders!" And a chic BAR-style cafe appeared in front of me.If you look closely, there is even a pool bar on the skateboard ramp!I have forgotten that I was rubbing JIB with a snowboard until I was in a space where I could mistake it for Roppongi or Europe and America. When I went up to the second floor, there was a white-based dining space in the bright interior where the light came in through the windows.A lot of sessions today.Choose a menu that everyone can share and take a seat.Oops, I was about to forget Bandai Commons Beer.
All menus are volume MAX.The arrangement by the foreign staff was fun just by looking at it, and the KOYANAGI salad was so colorful that it was difficult to put the fork in. The BBQ chicken plate and rodeo plate replenished the lost power.
When I was hungry, I looked out the window and saw the world of the park in front of me. I enjoyed chatting with my friends while watching the cool tricks, but as I watched it, I gradually began to be stimulated, and before I knew it, I was passing through the sleeves of my clothes.
Yeah, by the way, I came to slip! (Kome.)
By the way, when I'm full, I'm in the afternoon!
Well, it's the afternoon session.
In the afternoon, it split into a free-run unit and a park unit.I dared to join the park unit.There are 4 participants including me. All three are really good.Apparently it's slipping a lot indoors.I think I was playing with these people at the center park in front of Rider's for about an hour.The only item I used was a flat box of less than 3m.I tried not only to go straight out here, but also to face the front and lie down on the board, but ... it was sunk.I couldn't do it no matter how many times I tried.
When I was on the lift, I asked the three people who took the plunge and participated in the park group together. "How can I be cool?"He taught me various things.How to use the upper body and how to get the center of gravity.
After Rider's front park, I went to see Black Diamond Park.This is a park for advanced players.Compared to the indie park, the kicker, table, box, and rails are all bigger, and the difficulty level is higher.
I was just looking ... (Ikuw
It's a little bit better than that.
However, the joy of being able to do it and the regret of not being able to do it are all food for improvement.Don't panic, don't panic.Maipe and his friends, who slipped in small groups, gradually gathered at the base to say goodbye.
Finally, everyone took a photo.It wouldn't be possible to make "ALTS" with human characters and shoot it without Maipe.
And for some reason, I dive from the top of the stage, and for some reason I lifted my body.
It was sad to say goodbye to the friends I played with for a day, but I'm sure we'll meet again in the mountains soon. (Ikuw)
It's a little lonely to end a fun day, but when I get home, one page of memories will be uploaded with Maipe.
It's fun to read this again!It's fun to comment back! !!
That's why Maipe is an essential item for my snow life. (Kome.)
In a blink of an eye, the sky turned red and the course was closed.Bandai is also lit by the setting sun and is slightly pink.
It's a fun slope even if you come to play normally, but it's even more fun if you skate with a lot of friends.
Even the scenery I saw somehow becomes an important memory because I share it with everyone.
"It was Mt. Bandai pink at that time ..."
It was an Alz session one day when I could have such a memory story. (Continued to school, rental, and curry)
"Actually, I feel that it is a foul for me to be taught at school. I was hesitant because I was wondering if it would be a long explanation or something like special training." (Kome.)
"I thought that sports are only self-taught, but I enjoyed it without being able to overcome the obstacles that stand in my way." (Aki)
"I was interested, but I feel embarrassed now ..." (Mr.)
Program with guaranteed progress
A snowboard school with a system that will always clear the goal in time and refund if you can not improve.
I started the lesson with excitement about the phrase "guaranteed improvement" for the first time.
This time, Mr. Ishiuchi, also known as the Alz Snow Academy Cap, taught me.From the greetings, the tension is high and the voice is high!
First of all, since it is from the ollie, we practice the ollie on the burn on a gentle slope.
A word from the cap.All you have to do is raise your arm on the nose side.
I entered the trial park as it was and shed it while practicing ollie with a small kicker.
Next is open 1.It's an open 1 that I'm not really good at, but a word from the cap.
Just open the raising direction of the arm that was the trigger for the ollie.Practice Grand Opening 1 with the flow of backside turns on gentle slopes.He became able to get a chance and reiterated the basics of Switch Run.
Next, I entered Open 3, but I couldn't do it suddenly, and I learned the idea of separating it from Open 1 + Switch B1 and taught the tips of Switch B1 from the cap again.
Leaving the line of sight and returning the board.Turn around with the ground switch B1 on a gentle slope.
Go to the trial park again while turning around at Grand Opening 3.
After two hours, I completed the school when I felt that I was able to do it in a stable manner.
It was a short time because I was pulled by the high tension of the cap from beginning to end and made new discoveries, but it was a fulfilling content.
Of course, after completing the school, we will run a trial park until we get tired of four people and give advice to each other.
Taking lessons in groups is also quite fun.
(AKI)
Impressions of lesson participants
Curriculum of "immediate effect + dekill while having fun".Koreda!Mr. Ishiuchi's explanation of the intra was matched within me, but I thought that the curriculum was well organized.There is no correct answer to the trick or style, but I will accept the advice from the bottom of my heart and try to expand the drawer.I felt that it was a shortcut to further improvement.By the way, the equation is taller than the self-style, and it was decided coolly. (maybe)
By the way, the trick I drew in my delusion is still in my dreams, but I feel that I have definitely come closer to my dreams.If the things you learned this time become almost XNUMX% your own, one more step!I wanted to learn here.Thank you, Mr. Ishiuchi of Intra. (Kome.)
On the 12th day of snowboarding, I made an open 180 make-up.I was so happy that I raised my tension, and after that I practiced Aliexpress Open 360, but I couldn't do it.However, in just 2 hours, I made so many first make-ups, ollie, ollie 180, both switch turns, 180 with a mini kicker.I didn't tell anyone at this time, but the wakeboarder in Kanto had a "rule that you have to buy yakiniku for the person who was on board the ship with you for the first make-up", and I was in my heart. I was wondering, "If this was a wake, how much would it be treated ...". (Ikuw)
"Unlike the camps taught by professional snowboarders, we only spend two hours in contact with our customers, so we can't do a thorough ollie practice. How much accomplishment we have in just two hours. The game is to get them back home, "says Ishiuchi.I see, it's a sense of accomplishment.Certainly there was.Because it removes difficult things and teaches you the tips that are easiest to imagine, and if you do it that way, it's just magic.I don't think what I learned here is all-purpose, but I'm sure it will give me a chance to take the next step.Why don't you get "magic" at this school? (Mr.)
My favorite riding style is powder!Free run using terrain for tree run.Such my board is suitable for powder runs.By taking a freestyle lesson this time, I decided to rent a board for freestyle, so I went to the rental corner of Alz.
"I'm taking a freestyle lesson this time, do you have a board that suits it?"
"There is a Burton Dominant Slick."
"Eh? The one without the edge?"
"No, it's there. It's just not in the middle of the board."
"How about practicing the switch?"
"It's easy to do because it's hard to get a reverse edge."
Please have the stance width and angle adjusted while having such a conversation.
"The binding is a type that can change the angle with one touch, so please adjust it yourself."
I see, I thought rental was a little smaller, but it's pretty solid, and if you want to try something different than usual, you can easily try it, so this is an ant.
