How long have you guys been skiing in "Chino Par"?
Sugita:. when I was in high school. I'm 28 now, so it's been a long time.
Large flowers:I have been skating here for about 9 years. I have skated here since I started skating.
Miyasaka:Two years ago I was looking for a place to ski and found this place. Everyone was so welcoming, and now I am skiing with everyone here.
What is the appeal of "Chinoper"?
Sugita:I knew it was the work of everyone, led by Mr. Og of the local store "Timeness Pop Store," who poured the concrete to create the store. We put a lot of thought into it. It's exciting to grind on a section that we like.
Large flowers:First of all, the locals are very nice. 9 years I have been skiing almost everyday and I never get tired of it, it's always fun.
Miyasaka:. It's Earl, after all. This is where I first started to ski the are, but the sections are very peculiar. I had a hard time at first, but I've been learning from others.
What kind of impression do you have when you hear the name "Vans"?
Sugita:History. Everyone knows the brand even if they are not skaters.
Large flowers:Riders, both foreign and Japanese, are so cool. I also like to watch the videos.
Miyasaka:A well-known brand. I have been wearing "Vans" shoes since before I started skating. I've worn many different brands of shoes, but I think it's really cool that skaters wear "Vans.
What do you look for when choosing skate shoes?
Sugita:I have wide feet with a high instep, and Vans shoes are wide and stretchy. I choose shoes that suit my feet.
Large flowers:The cushioning and hold of the insole. That's the criteria for choosing shoes.
Miyasaka:I like to fly high, so cushioning is important. And then there is the design.
. Please tell us about the models you wore this time and your impressions of wearing them.
Sugita:I am "Black White". . At first, I was worried about whether I would be able to skate on a brand-new pair, but after a little while, I got used to them. Once the corners are removed, I can do a lot of turning, and they are lightweight and in good shape. The tongue is thick and holds my feet firmly, which is better than I expected.
Large flowers:Black White" for me too. I felt comfortable wearing them. I felt that I could get used to them faster than I thought I could from the first day. It was great.
Miyasaka:I am a "Tyson". It's like being held by your mother (laughs). It has good cushioning and doesn't damage my feet at all.
How did you like the design?
Sugita:From the top, they look like regular "Vans," but the lines on the side give them a high-tech look. . They are high-tech, but the mesh part bends well, making them easy to wear. They are cool.
Large flowers:Vans" has an image of "old school," but I think the mesh is a good accent. It's also breathable, so it makes sense. It's a fusion of high-tech and low-tech.
Miyasaka:. "Tyson" is a nice rasta color. Looks badass (lol). I have been curious about this model since it was released, so much so that I checked to see if "Timeness" had it in stock. So I was happy to be able to participate this time.
By the way, what is your impression of Tyson Peterson?
Large flowers:My ass is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out.
Miyasaka:Super cool. I mean, it's not rough, but it looks rough.
How was the session?
Sugita:We did a death box technique where we had to work a little harder than usual to make it up. I had not had this kind of opportunity recently, so I was very excited and motivated.
Large flowers:. It is pure fun to ski together. And when you get photographed like we did today, the vibes go up, and I'd be happy if there were more opportunities like this.
What do you want to see from VAN'S in the future?
Sugita:I think the sole has been revolutionarily improved since the Skate Pro was replaced by the Skate Classics, and I have skied for 3 months with no holes in the sole at all. The improved durability is enough for me, but if I may say so, competitions and events would motivate me, so I would be happy.
Large flowers:I would like to see events like this in the local area as well. I think it would unify the local community and be a good movement for skating.
Miyasaka:I would like to invite riders from abroad . . since more and more children are starting to skate in the Olympics.
. Then, please give us a few words from "Chinopur".
Sugita:It's an underground park , but everyone is welcome to come!
Large flowers:Everyone is always welcome. I'd love to have a session at "Chino Par." I want everyone to ski!
Miyasaka:I think the sections are getting more powerful every time I come, so come and conquer each section!
