In memory of skier Shingo Sasaki, who died in a freak accident while skiing on Rishiri Island last February, this one-day special session will be held on Mt. Teine, where Sasaki spent most of his skiing career.
Old friends and fellow riders will gather to enjoy a passionate jam session accompanied by a DJ/MC.
The event will be held in a jam session format, with a super session with the riders in the morning and a jam session contest in the afternoon.
Cards will be distributed at the time of registration and will be handed out to those who "did the coolest riding", and the rider who collected the most cards will be awarded the Best Riding Award. There will also be a special award chosen by guest riders.
