Today, three members of Team Miyazaki stopped by and stayed at the Nishii house on their way back from the selection tournament to decide Japan's representative for the AM World Championships, which was held this weekend at Kitaizumi P in Fukushima Prefecture.

Kaji Yoshikazu, still a teenager at 19 years old, came in second place in this tournament and was selected as the representative of BB.

Hirosawa Sachiko won the All Japan Championships and this year's selection tournament, becoming the first Japanese Amateur Grand Champion in Ladies' Longboarding in 2007, but it seems there is no Ladies' Longboarding class in the World Championships.
Why? What a shame. He's a great champion who uses his own chopsticks.

Noda is the Japan Championship Men's Longboard Champion.
He also filmed the DVDs that Nishii has appeared in in the past,
He is also a cameraman who filmed and edited the recent Mentawai DVD.

After checking out Nishii's longboards, he ordered an extremely lightweight competition/maneuver board made by Lost Longboard EPS.
Next year's Amateur World Championship will be held in Portugal.
Good luck to all the national team players!
