xxx 2 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 http://www.snowjapan.com/e/gallery/index-vids.html I thought I'd start a comments thread on the videos. Great idea, love them. I especially like that jump you got going there barok and that latest Plucky one is really cool too. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Plucky, way behind the times here maybe but - you live up there near Appi? Link to post Share on other sites

I live in the general area. Maybe a 1.5 hour drive or quicker with clear roads to Appi. Here's a map of the general area. I made a better one, but it's not up on the web yet. You'll need Acrobat Reader to see this link: Eastern Aomori/Iwate Ski Areas xxx - good idea on the thread... Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Many of them are really cool. My Japanese friends have been very impressed with the quality of rider. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Good question all of those were Back Country kind of. You wont end your run in the resort so gear is advised so is a guide. Link to post Share on other sites

mikazooki 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 the pipe was open last weekend... hit it a couple of times when it first opened, but within 30 minutes, the cues were up to 15 people per side. one would hope it thins out later in the day, but i can't confirm. on weekdays it wil be great.

Fattwins 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I start from the top middle to get more speed plus you bypass half the line up Hey seanbird whats up was on the course with yeah and in the same pit. nice day with Nate that day eh. Seems like nate has a few good vids up here, gotta get that boy to post his. Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 do u mean half way down the pipe after picking up speed, or the middle at the top?...they fenced off the middle (?to disuade beginners from using it?), although it wouldn't stop u riding round the fence Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 no starting from way above the pipe inst there 3 start areas Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Just got a chance to check out some of the new vids that were put up recently - good stuff people! For everyone that has put something up (I'm going to miss a few here - Barok, mikazooki, seanbird, etc...) Is it okay if I use your videos for the SnowJapan video project? Hopefully the formats will be compatable. Should work unless they are quicktime files. Please let me know if you have any problems with me downloading your clips and using them. thanks!

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Fantastic idea, good stuff. I really enjoy watching people - something to aim for, way way better than me. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 just been looking through them all today, and totally cool that SJ went ahead and did that - and so fast too. hip hip hurray! Is anyone interested in seeing plebs like me who are at about 10% of the ability of the people who've already poster?? Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 How about some vids showing resorts themselves - ie not action, but giving other people an idea of what a resort looks like. I'd be interested in seeing some resorts that I haven't been to that way. Link to post Share on other sites
mumbojumbo 0 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 The skiers look way cooler than boarders. I thought it would be the other way round. But not. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 klingklang show what you got in 2 years we will see how much better youve become Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 mumbojumbo, you need to get your boarding prejudice specs on mate. I hear if you modify a pair of Mac-fan spectacles you can repurpose them for seeing snowboard coolness wherever you look. Link to post Share on other sites
METAL 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 good idea klingklang - I wouldn't mind seeing short vids of some resorts I haven't been to. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Nice ones Shimba - nice choice of ongaku too Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 thanks there!! unfortunately, i should have been in bed instead of playing with vids. was pretty tired getting up early for first tracks after late nights fiddling with movie stuff Link to post Share on other sites
RayInJapan 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Just spent the last 2 hours downloading/watching the videos...very cool...definetly creates more of an itch to get out there... Shimba & Jared - Its been a year now since we last went to Geto - are you going this coming weekend? I'm thinking of coming down there either Saturday and Sunday, or Sunday and Monday...would love to hook up with you and have some fun... Low Pressure Lover - the Hakkoda videos are awesome. I haven't been there yet cause I've been going where a beginner friend of mine wanted to go but after this coming weekend, I'm gonna start going back to Hakkoda. Already got my Atlas 12 series snow shoes picked out...I'd love to ride with you guys too - Link to post Share on other sites
