Takasu Snowpark

Japan’s Young Guns Rookie Web Reports

Despite the high temperatures during the whole winter season, the YOUNG GUNS ROOKIE FEST took place in a perfect and well-shaped halfpipe, shrank in sizing but not in quality thanks to the support of Global Snow Design and “tamakoshi”.

I was able to win the YOUNG GUNS ROOKIE FEST 🙇‍♂️
Austria will do its best too! !!
Thank you to all the people who made beautiful pipes in the lack of snow this year and those who have always supported us.
