The Osaka KINGS Circuit race, which had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will also be revived
Osaka KINGS is a place where you can practice using equipment such as kickers even during the off-season when there is no snow. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the facility, and the facility will be renovated to mark the anniversary. The more powerful Osaka KINGS will open on April 22nd. If you haven't had enough time to ski during the season, want to practice more, or are curious about what mat jumping is, why not take this opportunity to visit?
Facility renewal information
The revitalization will mainly involve improvements to the "JIB Zone" and "Super Small" areas, as well as facility renovations
In response to the excitement surrounding recent street jib events such as the Tokyo Snow Festival, X-TRAIL RAIL JAM, and Red Bull HEAVY METAL, the JIB Zone will be improved from approach to landing to make it even more fun and safer
"Super Small" is a practice area for beginners to get used to the brush and enter small kickers. It is designed to be closer to a small kicker, and once you get used to it, the starting position will be changed so that you can drop from a higher position, and it will be upgraded to an item that can also be used for practicing snowboard cross starts
The facility renovation will not only renovate the ski area but the entire facility as well. A new upper rest area will be created, making it more comfortable for spectators during events
Osaka KINGS Circuit Tournament Returns
This event, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has now been revived. It is an annual circuit competition where points are earned based on the rankings in each tournament held once a month, and the top three races are ranked based on the total points. Event information will also be posted on Instagram and the website, so be sure to check there as well
Osaka KINGS also offers a variety of schools and lessons. Even if it's your first time mat jumping, the staff will provide thorough support until you're ready to jump. There are free lessons tailored to your level, lessons for women only, and even free lessons by Keiji Okamoto on weekends. All of these are free to participate in. The comprehensive lessons are one of the attractions of Osaka KINGS
there are also lessons offered by WOOT SNOWBOARD PARK SCHOOL, a park and freestyle snowboarding school run by Daisuke Nishimura, which has produced many professional snowboarders
