This year, the second time, more than 2 participants gathered, and many guest riders who did not convene last time were also gathered.Among them are influencers, riders who are active mainly on SNS, and riders who are active in the media by leaving images such as streets in the core.Riders who want to liven up the snowboarding industry are gathered together, although the places and methods of transmission are different, and they talked to each other with the hope that they could absorb the good points of each and hold hands. ..

Items prepared for this RAIL JAM.Various sections were prepared from wide boxes to deformed items

The scoring standard is that those who leave "bad things as images" are evaluated.This is a scoring method unique to WAKUWAKU, a film crew.They continue to shoot with hot vibes to leave the best one cut on the street, and they are keenly aware of the importance of that one cut.Concentration, enthusiasm, a desire to keep trying ... this format was adopted to share those things with the participants.

I will never forget the feeling of having fun while I am serious.That is the WAKUWAKU style

Participants boldly challenge various items prepared at the venue to respond to it.As each session progresses, the enthusiasm increases in order to work hard with each other and leave a good cut.Guest riders are also mixed among the participants to show off their riding.Seeing the riders slipping in front of me was also a good stimulus for the participants.Taking the example of advanced skiing, feel the feeling of riding and steal skills.It was a unique opportunity for snowboarders looking to improve.

Message to leave snow in the future

The event also had an environmental approach.The WAKUWAKU crew, who felt through snowboarding that the snow was getting less due to the influence of the warm winter, sold eco bags, made homemade posters, and served vegan sweets to the participants. I would like to face this issue and share my thoughts.Even if it's not perfect, if I can act as much as I can ... I will deliver a message from WAKUWAKU that thinks so.

"There is an atmosphere in Japan that we have to be perfect, but we are not vegan, and our lives are gradually changing so that we do not eat meat as much as possible and do not produce much garbage. It is a warm winter. I felt that the amount of snow was decreasing directly through snowboarding. Environmental problems and snowboarding are inseparable problems. So I hope that more people will live kindly to the earth as much as I can, and I will share these actions as well. I am.
People in the mountains, such as BC, have a sensitive image of environmental issues, but I don't think they have penetrated much into people who like jib. I think that WAKUWAKU can be conveyed to people of that genre, and I am doing as much as I can.I hope everyone can work hard to leave snowboarding for the next generation. "-Kenji Igarashi

WAKUWAKU noticed "what we can do".Use something that can be reused rather than disposable.Use it carefully while repairing it.Don't wrap the toilet paper too much!You can start with small things in your daily life
Homemade poster.Avoid unnecessary waste by making only what you need.It takes more time than asking a contractor, but it is important to change consciousness from these small things.
A vegan sweet that arrived from a friend of Yakushima.Studies have shown that the meat-growing livestock industry emits a large amount of greenhouse gases, which is said to be one of the causes of global warming, and some argue that vegetarianism is a measure against global warming.
