SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 A new Ocean's View feature, "Fujiten Wheelboarding", has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/oceans-view-16.html "On 18 May I went to Fujiten (Fuji Tenjindaira) in Yamanashi Prefecture to ride my Dirtsurfer and check out the mountainboarding scene in Japan at first hand. Although I was very close to Fuji all day, I didn’t catch a single glimpse of it as a chilly fog was hanging low over the hills. This fog had soaked the grass and dirt of the runs at Fujiten, making for hairy but forgiving riding conditions." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/oceans-view-16.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

damian 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 you have been getting right into this 'wheeled thing'. Good stuff. I can't see why it isn't more popular. Could a sport get any better than this: "It was like being repeatedly and insistently goosed in the bum by some wiry old bloke with bony arms. When the goosing gets too much and you fall over, the old bloke gives you a good bitch slapping around the head." Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 From that point of view, rugby's a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Rugby is for blokes with funny shaped balls and who like rough physical contact with other rough blokes PS Nice article as always Ocean Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Nice one Ocean, you should set up shop and start renting your equipment out! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 You're much nearer me now anyways I think Ocean (aren't you??) - perhaps you could take me out and show me your new equipment sometime Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 rach, nearer than before, but scarcely close. I'd love to show you my equipment, indeed let you ride it. But you'd need to protect your lil' knees and put on a helmet as it can all be rather painful. (I can now scratch my back with my right arm after a suspension of service of 4 months.) We stopped in at Kobe port on the way here and it was a splendid if rather gaudy sight from the sea. I'd like to have a look around Kobe at night. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Let me know when you might be able to come to Kobe! Pity about the distance though, I wouldn't mind giving your equipment a ride Link to post Share on other sites
