My snowboarding mates from Nara and me went to Shirao snowpark which is my friend Fukunaka-san is working as a digger.
Couple weeks ago Fukunaka-san called me up and said, Hey ken! hows ur snowboarding is going lately? wanna come up for my park?
It was a begning of going to Shirao with my mates.
Actually we all pracise snowboarding in Daigo indoor dome.
Most of guys from Daigo are cool. cuz Daigo was pretty small indoor.
we got to know ppl so quickly! besides ppl who come for snowboarding in summer time is really hardcore as u can tell.
so its eary to know ppl ( because i used to be a real hardcore 24/7 thinking for riding) LOL
anyway I thuoght its a good time to do a jump session with my daigo mates.
we got to the mountain around 9:30. it was really x100 super fine day.
snow is soft like a girls. perfect day for hitting for kickers!
I didnt expected to get a free lift pass. but fukunaka san broght a VIP invitation free lift pass!! Ohhh yehhhh sweeeeeett!!
we chatted a little while for the last season and so on.
Getting up to the park, it wasnt massive kickers and rails.
its like 8 m-kicker and 4 rails and 4 boxes.
i was trying to remember how to spin better like 4years ago.
First i did a couple times straight jumps, it went well.
i felt so good when i was frying. want a big jump but i havnt jumped much recently. made a tweak, mute, tail grabs and finally ready for spining for me,
I tried for a 360 for da first rotation jump.
It was long enough and landed little rough but super fun!!
then I thought today is pretty good condition for me!! i can try my best tricks.
I psyched up my mind!
But when i got off from lift, I didnt concentrate for riding.
all the sudden, there was a small bump. my backside edge was just cought!!!
I felt down and handed!! fuck man, my left list was got injured!!
I lost every confidence after that.
so i went to the patrol room to ask a fixing tape.
I rapped up my list as tightly as i can. little felt better.
to get back my confidence, i try to ride fast.
donno why but sometimes when i ride faster i feel good!!
I did couple times Tyokkari ( riding stright).
Then i tried to hit a kicker but not rough landing.
so i did a straight jump again for cpuple times.
then I finally tried to make a 540.
it wasnt bad i didnt hand to the landing. after i tried 540.
nervus feeling was gone, I could jump after that with out any fear.
but u guys know when its afternoon in spring, snow is really soft.
its easy to mess up the landing.
but luckly Fukunaka san fixed the landing by the pisten car.
he could drive the big pisten car cuz of this is in charge of the park.
he just did it for us. we closed the kicker and fixed it.
Oh-yeh after fixed the landing, landing was so good.
soft and clean!! I tired to 540 again.
but it was strange, my rotation was like 3D corksqurew.
I landed roughly but it was kinda cool i think.
scared thing was i just didnt meant to do!!
anyway im getting tired to write,,too long blog for me...
it was great session, but other guys were pretty good!!
I decided to practice more kickers in this summer!!
Thank for the red carpet treatment, Fukunaka san!
it was great to see u and see u better park rider!!
keep on jibbing guys
