Last night at Jiyukaoka, we had a screening of a private DVD by Toku-san, who shoots and edits the riding videos for this website. This DVD is an annual project in which Toku-san's friends and acquaintances, both professional and amateur, film their riding and are shown together.
The title is Japanese and is called "Shokunin".
Everyone watches intently during the screening.
Recently, Zuccho Pro has also been participating in this project, and he rushed over from Chiba to attend the screening. He got drunk and left saying, "Let's go to Cloud 9 this year!"
(Quite seriously)
Toku is in the center, and Zuccho, who has won the Grand Champion title three times, is on the left.
(No explanation needed?)
Shinbo from Kawasaki Colors, pictured in the center, also appears in the DVD, so he rushed over after closing up his shop. And Haru from "SOS," pictured on the right, who provided the venue for the screening, has also been a member of this project since its inception. It might be easier to understand if I call him Haru from Sri Lanka, who is in the Trip Experts section of the BMC mobile wave information site. http://www.sossportswear.com/rider.html He is also a snowboarding expert and a shop staff member at SOS.
At the end, Toku got so excited that he jumped into the pond in the courtyard. What a fool he was, especially in the middle of that freezing cold night.
I'm sure there are people like this around you too!
