I just came back so called ken`s snowboarding camp.
Actually the attendance is only me! hahahha
Because I was supposed to go Hokkaido to see Dawn and Cheech there with powder snow. Unfortunately all the flight was booked out due to the biggest and most famous snow festa in Sapporo hokkaido.
Thats why I decided to go snowboarding in Gifu by myself.
And I called my trip a snowboarding camp!
Day 1,
It was pretty sunny, nice weather good halfpipe.
This day I think I improved a little bit of halfpipe, but still shit...
After riding, I headed back to Minsyuku which is the cheap japanese style hotel.
I brought a DVD, so I started to watch Da Vinch Code.
Yeh it was interested movie I reckon. I still understand half of it though.
I drunk heap of bourbon coke, and passed out.hahhaa
Day 2,
It was fog day. All the morning was foged out.
But I could see about 10m long, so the Half pipe was opened.
The soft spring snow made me psyche up!
Usually I scared to go first and drop into halfpipe, but this time I try my best to do it. As a result, I could get little bit higher jump!
I finally could jump out of the halfpipe. But you know some Pros jump over 3M high compared with them, I am like little shit of ants.
Halfpipe always closed at 14:00, cuz of the snow condition.
After 14pm, I went to the one-make jump.
Yah I was so happy, my all the 360 jump were perfect.
I didnt fall down, not even handed or anything. I feel I was improved so much.
Jump was not so big, it was 8m long. Good size.
I made heaps of tricks, and so happy that I didnt fall.
After that, I headed to Onsen.
Oh-yah Onsen was so good, and Sauna was nice too.
Thats about my 2nd day.
Day 3,
I caught up with my mates Tanaka-san, Katou-san, and Ueda-san.
They are all over 35 years old, but they are hard core snowboarder,specially Katou-san... He is the man of snowboarder!
Anyway we did halfpipe most of the time, and it was fun time, we met our old mate there, he is now super good rider.
But today was another warm day, snow got slashy from afternoon.
And then tempature went down from 2pm. Snow became a bit harder.
Then they wanna see my one-make jump. I told them I was really good
yesterday. So they set a camera and now its time for me to drop in!!!
Yes for the first jump, i missed it. I landed on the corner of the landing part, not enough speed. And then next jump, Oh--my gosh!!!!
I droped in a faster speed and what happened to me?!?!
I badly landed from my ass!!! I thuogth my ass crached by 4 pcs!!LOL
I couldnt stand up for 5 second,,,, and my left hand is also a bit in pain somehow, I didnt touch the ground though.
Anyway thats it, I finished snowboarding.
Checked up my jump by a camera, Oh--man, it was so scary!
It looked like its gonna be OK for the first place and then I lost my balance...
I will update my pics soon, I wanna update my video though!
So thats about it of my camp!!
It was all good except for the last jump!
I came back and called my girlfriend about my last jump, she get fumed of my dangerous jump. Because I told her before I didnt do any dangerous jump....Sorry babe.
Anyway Im still alive, I can work out hard not to miss a jump next time! hahaha
