March 30th ..... Ajigasawa 1st Annual Slopestyle Jam

Rise and shine! After a few hours of shut eye, we woke up and got ready for a day at Ajigasawa ski resort. Toshi came over and picked us up and we headed off for the mountain. I was definitely looking forward to today because it was the first ever Ajigasawa Slopestyle Jam 2008 and all the park riders from near and far came out to play. Of course, I would be there...camera in hand taking pictures.

The event layout was very chill. People riding what ever they wanted with a judge at each position recording score and in the end, the riders with the highest total score would enter the final. Last 4 men and women standing would rock out in the grand finale in classic slopestyle fashion....one complete run to decide it all. No 2nd heat, no redos......winner takes all. Exciting!!

It was nice to see a high level of competitors throwing down at slopestyle in Aomori. Thanks to the NaturaRhythm crew for holding such a well organized event and keeping the park in top form. You guys rock!
