I'm back from Hokkaido.
The schedule is to come from the day before the Sapporo Snow Festival starts and return the day after it ends, so the people at the hotel
"Is this a snow festival enthusiast !?"
You may have thought.
This time I will write for a long time because there are not so many things in my life.
Please read if you have time.
The result of Hokkaido is
Shiroi Koibito Park Air Day XNUMX Winner
TOYOTA BIG AIR Japanese Final Qualifying XNUMXnd place
TOYOTA BIG AIR XNUMXth place
It was a landing.
The goal of TBA itself was to be in the top eight, so I was about to take another step ...
However, I think it was a wonderful experience to be able to participate in the main race for the first time in four years, and to be listed as one of the XNUMX players who participated in the prestigious Sapporo Dome for the first time!
The same was true for the X-TRAIL JAM at Tokyo Dome, which I used to do in the past, but after all the dome gets a lot of tension! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
It's a great view even in qualifying, but when it comes to the main race, it's not good!
This is the time of Japanese qualifying.
so,
This is the main race.
The loud cheers of the audience echo in the space called the dome at a loud volume.
It's strange to be normal with this! !!
If you explain your contents in a step-by-step manner ...
First of all, the Japanese final qualifying.
I think this every year, but I think it can be said that it is the best one-make match in Japan by Japanese riders.
Last year, the starting order was the best, and while I couldn't read the situation, I was hit by a terrible headwind and both of them were forced to lick the bittern of falling.
But this year it's a dome! !! !! !! !! !!
It has nothing to do with the weather or the wind. !! !! !! !!
First of all, last year's revenge.Be sure to stand the SB900 that you couldn't stand!I set the goal.
Maybe this foreigner is in the double cork era.I was wondering if all the Japanese would play 1080 games, but I wanted to get rid of myself last year.
Moreover, counting from the time of Park Air, SB900 has never been bita-made since I came to Hokkaido!Anyway, I wanted to decide the landing and get a score.
The race is XNUMXth out of XNUMX people.
The four people up to me haven't scored very well.
I want to make a perfect decision here and get out of the way! !!
So, the first one, SB900, was decided! !!
I'm awkward until last year, goodbye in an instant! !!Yay! !! !!
What is the score of XNUMX?
I'm thrilled and wait for the score to come out.
It's quite long.
It came out! !! !!
,,,,,
Nihyakuyonjuden! !!
Yes, 242 points!
This is pretty good! ??
Guts pose while thinking.
To be honest, I'm still not sure how good the score is because of the early turn.
But it shouldn't be a bad score!
When the first run is over, it will take a long time until the second run, so return to the waiting room and go alone
"OK! OK!"
I was delighted.
And the score was high after all.
After the first round, Toshiki Yamane broke through to the top with the perfect BS Double Cork 1080, but after the first round, he was provisionally second.
In the final qualifying, the first round will start in a randomly determined order, but the second round will start from the person with the lowest score in the first round.
That's why I'm the penultimate run for the second run.
So, except for Toshiki, no one was overtaken until my turn on the second floor came around, and it was decided that the final qualifying would end in XNUMXnd place without waiting for the second jump.
This is an interview after the tournament.
I'm so happy that I've been in the main race for the first time in four years, and I don't really remember what I said except Mao's story.
At night, the final qualifying was broadcast on HTB, so I watched it on TV.
So, Sunday is the main and last stage.
TOYOTA BIG AIR! !! !! !! !! !!
After all, the number of people is different from the time of the final qualifying! !!
It seems that a large audience of nearly XNUMX people came! !! !!
It's a great tournament.
I thought it was a tournament that should never be lost for the Japanese snowboarding world.
And the biggest mountain for the big goal of entering the best XNUMX of the main race
Two jumps in a qualification round that narrows down from XNUMX to XNUMX people.
What do you do with those two?
After worrying, one did the SB900 with confidence.
I think I used to play SWBS Double Cork 1080, which I had been practicing for a long time.
I don't know if I've done it even now.
But I wrote it on my blog at the time of X-Trail Jam a long time ago.
I definitely want to stand one.
Isn't it useless to fall down and see it in anyone's eyes?
The voice that echoes in the venue at the moment of falling
"Ahh~~~"
Voice.
Whether it's 360 or triple cork, the reaction is the same if you fall.
But I want to entertain the customers.
Moreover, I have many friends, sponsors, and fans who came all the way from Honshu just for support.
There are some junior riders who came to the northern land together, but were defeated before the main race and went to support me.
There are even more people who support us by relaying from PCs in distant places.
You should never fall down on both of them.
Stand firmly,
"Yeah !!"
I want everyone to be thrilled with me and wait for the score to come out.
I think that is the real pleasure of watching the tournament.
So, especially this time, I want to enjoy this fun thrill with the guy who wanted to stand together on this stage while enjoying the feelings with everyone.
If you carry the feelings of others and are supported by everyone, then it is the professional rider who will give back your favor.
If you have two special attacks just for yourself, one is enough.
That's why I chose the SB900, which was able to get a high score in the Japanese qualifying, as the first one.
I set it up safely.
Great cheers from the arena and stands! !!
Yes, this is it!
This is good! !! !! !! !!
It feels good! !! !! !! !! !!
However, the grab was a touch grab (I couldn't grasp it firmly and touched it only for a moment).
The TBA makes decisions while watching the judging system in slow motion, so there is no deception.The aerial posture that I'm not good at is revealed in the Aurora Vision ...
That's why 17 points! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
But the score is good.The appearance of the spectators who got really excited by standing up rather than the score was a high score for me!
However, the last one.I want to stay in the best XNUMX anyway.
This one will fly for you!
Switchback Double Cork 1080 exits! !!
I was enthusiastic.
For this moment, I even prepared a helmet to reduce the mental burden.
And even Japanese people who decided BS Double Cork 1080, Toshiki Yamane and Hiroki Matsuura (because both were practicing at KINGS) asked about the strength of the axis compared to KINGS, and it was perfect.
And the second one, drop-in.
Add double cork.
However, the moment I got out, it turned completely different from double cork! !!
... Yes, this is the usual flat spin axis! !! !! !! !!Lol
So, urgently spin the flat spin in the air with all your might. Turns up to 1260.
It seemed to stand up unexpectedly, but after landing, the board completely drove about one turn.
That's no surprise.Lol
Contrary to my expectation, the second run was a mistake of SB1260 and the result was 103 points.
Later, to Atsushi Ishikawa senior
"Banibo, I was expecting to do double cork because I wore Met, but why is it a flat spin! Doesn't it mean Met !!"
They said.
Tohoho.You're right.
However, for some reason, there were many people who fell in the first run, so the ranking was provisionally in XNUMXth place for a while.
But well, the world's best riders are gathering.I was handed over to Mr. Helgerson's BS Double Cork 1080, and after that, Mr. Gourdemond interrupted me ...
The final result was 10th place.
It was TOYOTA BIG AIR 2012!
I was really nervous and very happy!
I was able to leave the regret that I wasn't satisfied with my goal by doing my best, and I enjoyed it all together! !! !!
Mao Yanagihara's Beanie.
Mao was known to the tournament from an interview with Park Air.
This time I flew with this beanie all the time.
When I flew one by one, I touched my hat to calm myself down.
Oh, but
"Mao, please help me !!"
It's not like that!
I'm nervous, I don't want to slip uncool, and so on.
On the contrary, I'll show you how amazing I am!Look silently! !!The target.
Anyway, as a senior rider, I wanted people to see the cool appearance at the nearest place and have fun together at the nearest place.
But in the end, I wonder if it helped me to be inspired by it.
Moreover, when aiming for the last double, surely
"Please help me !!!"
I put my heart into it.Lol
But since it's a big stage, I wrote it like this, but I think I'll still skate together this season.Whether it's a tournament or shooting.
The season is still in the middle of the season!
I will continue to work hard! !!
I'll do it! !!
