ニュージーランド!!
BURTONシュートでニュージーランドのメスベンにいます。(タダシ)
やっぱり寒いですね〜。。。きのうまで夏だったのに!
今日はですね〜山に上がらなかったのでスケートパークでちょっくら汗をかいてきました。なかなか楽しかったな〜。。
一番上の写真は、学さんと二人で海でバーベキューをした時のやつです。
これもまた良かった〜なんかいやされた。やっぱり波の音はいいですね。

Hey, it’s Tadashi. I’m in Methven, New Zealand for BURTON a shoot.
As I expected it is so cold… I was in summer heat yesterday, you know!
Today, I didn’t go snowboarding but instead went skateboarding for some fun.

This picture was taken when I had a BBQ with Manabu.
That was so nice to have a BBQ at the beach. Hearing the lapping of the waves was really good and I felt comforted...

祝!! Congratulations!!

8月4日はマネージャーのYuhoとDaveの結婚式でした〜〜!!
Yuhoはビデオ編集最終行程で結婚2日前まで頑張ってくれてました。
(ギリギリまで仕事させてしまってゴメンね…)

天気予報は雨だったけど、昼間は晴れてくれて無事に式もできて最高でした。(^^)

On August 4th, Yuho and Dave had their wedding ceremony!!!

Yuho is our manager and she was working with us editing our film until 2days before her wedding.
Yuho, sorry for making you work up to the last minute!

The weather forecast said it was going to be a rainy day, but during the ceremony everyone was blessed with fine weather. It was a really nice ceremony.



  

↓写真は左からナターシャ、デイブ、ユーホ。

From left, Natasza, Dave, Yuho.



  

飼っているラブラドールのミキとルカ(見切れてるけど…笑)もお祝いしてくれました。


Yuho’s baby dogs Miki and Luca celebrated with them too.


  

↓Yuhoの友達の手作りウェディングケーキ。

夜のパーティーは大盛り上がりでした。
ライアンのDJでみんな踊りまくり!
日本の披露宴とは違ってかなり自由な感じでした。(^^)
服装もラフだし、その日仕事だった人は終わってそのままパーティーに参加したり、、、形式にとらわれてなくて面白かったな〜!



Dave & Yuho本当におめでとう!

The wedding cake was handmade by Yuho’s friend.
Two snowboarders were on the top of it.

We had sooooo much fun at the party at night!!
Everybody danced like crazy with DJ Ryan.
It was not like any Japanese wedding...Canadian weddings are kind of casual and freestyle. The people who came in later to the party were like they just came from work.



  

I like the way they party in Canada.

Dave&Yuho, we are all really happy for you two!!! Congratulations!

帰国しました!! We are back!!

どもです!ケイジです。
カナダ編集組(タローさん、ノブ君、自分)みんなそろって日本に帰ってきました〜!
思っていたより暑いスね。。。とけそうです。(苦笑)

最終日は片付けやパッキング、スノーモービルを保管したりでかなりバタバタだったけど、家のみんなワイワイ飲めてよかったな。(^^)

12月からカナダ入りして、半年ガッチリ撮影して編集に2ヶ月。
やっとみなさんにお披露目できる段階になりました!
来週末、19日は東京銀座apple storeで第1発目の試写会です!
皆で盛り上がりましょう!

Hello! This is Keiji.
The editors(Taro, Nobu and me) came back to Japan today.
It’s hotter than we could imagine… I thought I would melt!

We were so busy on the last day in Canada packing, cleaning up and keeping our sleds in appropriate places etc…
But we could have a last drink with our room mates and that was so great.

We got in Canada on December and spent a whole six month filming and two month for editing. Now finally we have reached the stage that we can show you the video...
On August 19, we will have the first preview party at the Applestore in Ginza, Tokyo!
Let’s kick it!!!

夏真っ盛り。 Midsummer!

帰国した次の日に東京湾花火大会がありました!

家の屋上から少しだけ花火みれたんですよ。

ほとんどの花火がビルの影でみれなかったけどきれいでしたね。

写真はその中でもよく撮れた方です。

The day after we came back, there was a fireworks exhibition at Tokyo Bay.
Most of the fireworks were hidden by buildings but the ones I saw from my roof were so beautiful!!

These are the best shots of the fireworks.


  

夏は夏でいいですね!

This is what makes summer so nice!

  

次の日は地元、富岡八幡寓の祭りがやってました。

水をかけられながら町中を練り歩きます。

来年が三年に一度の本祭り。江戸三大祭の一つで、神輿が54基もでちゃうんです。

The next day the festival of the Tomioka-Hachimangu was held in my hometown.

People were carrying Mikoshi (a portable shrine) and were walking around town, and people along the road were carrying water with hoses and buckets. (aka; Watering Festival)

Next year’s festival will be the big one that is held every three years.
Tomioka-Hachiman- Festival is one of the three big festivals of Edo (Tokyo), and there will be 54 Mikoshis in the street next year.



  

  

明日はエディターのノブ君と一緒に、忠の地元の祭りに行ってきます。

毎年やってるんですけど、蔵にとっておいた雪をまいてみんなでsnowboardしちゃうんです!

楽しみですな〜!

blogにもアップするのでお楽しみに!

I’m going to Tadashi’s hometown tomorrow with Nobu to go see the community festival there.

The festival is held annually and this year’s highlight is the snowboarding that will be held there. People will make man made snow and everybody will snowboard in the middle of summer!

I can’t wait to see it!

I’ll post it for you too!

THANKS EVERYONE for the experience and the good and super bad times! Let's party at the premiers and have FUN!

MUNDAKA, Espagne (Mardi 2 Octobre 2007) – Mick Fanning, Kelly Slater et Joel Parkinson se sont tous qualifies directement pour le 3ieme tour aujourd’hui a Bakio.

Parkinson score une combinaison de vagues de 17.83 points, éliminant sur son passage les surfeurs floridiens Cory Lopez et Gabe Kling. L’actuel n.4 mondial a participe aux ¼ de finales et demis a chacune des compétitions de l’année a l’exception d’une. Il manque au palmarès du surfeur une victoire en finale. Le surfeur a conscience qu’il se doit d’enregistrer un bon résultat ici s’il veut garder tout espoir de titre mondial.

“J’étais vraiment très motive” explique Parkinson. « La course du titre n’est pas encore fini, il me faut donc surfer série par série. Je me sens très motive. Je veux surfer et surfer encore. Je veux vraiment garder cette motivation ».

Slater qui a remporte son 8ieme titre mondial ici a Mundaka l’année dernière, s’est donne a fond sur les petites vagues de Bakio et se qualifie pour le 3ieme tour après avoir élimine le surfeur local Hodei Collazo et l’hawaïen Fred Patacchia.

“C’est génial d’éviter le 2nd tour, surtout quand tu dois surfer sur de si petites vagues » explique Slater. « Les conditions n’étaient pas bien différent qu’en Floride aujourd’hui ».

Le surfeur floridien s’était fait éliminé prématurément au 3ieme tour lors de la competition en France la semaine dernière mais est venu ici en Espagne pour gagner. Actuellement a la 2nd place derrière Fanning, Slater et Burrow se doivent a tout prix de terminer a deux round d’écart de Fanning pour garder tout espoir de titre mondial. Burrow qui a perdu le 1er tour aura une seconde chance de qualifications lors du 2nd tour.

A la question s’il s’est lance dans la course à un 9ieme titre mondial, Slater était rapide à répondre : « bien sur, si je suis ici en competition c’est pour me donner à 100% » réplique Slater. « Je ne pense pas que Taj aura trop problème à se qualifier pour le 3ieme tour, mais on ne sait jamais ».

Fanning évite le 2nd tour malgré une série très disputée contre le rookie Kai Otton.

“Kai, en tant que rookie, a surfe très intelligemment » explique Fanning. « Il a déjà éliminé plusieurs grands noms. Tu ne dois jamais le sous-estimer ».

Malgré une victoire en France la semaine dernière et la possibilité de remporter un titre mondial a Mundaka, Fanning reste concentrer.

“Nouveau spot, competition différente” reprend Fanning. “Il faut faire exactement comme avec les autres competition et se repreparer mentalement. Tu ne gagnes pas une competition juste parce que tu as passe le 1er tour. Il faut y aller série par série ».

Malgré une confortable avance dans le classement, Fanning ne se repose pas sur ses lauriers. Il sait que Slater, Burrow, Parkinson et Irons sont encore des challengers.

“Ce n’est pas encore termine. Je ne m’attends pas du tout à ce qu’ils renoncent et il reste encore trois compétitions. Tu peux remporter beaucoup de points en trois compétitions. ».

Le défendant du titre Bobby Martinez se qualifie pour le 3ieme tour après avoir éliminé Ricky Basnett et Mark Occhilupo. Martinez élimine Basnett a seulement 0.10 points d’écart et Occhilupo a .20points. Les scores n’étaient pas disponibles aux surfeurs à cause de problèmes techniques et Martinez pensait avoir été éliminé.

“C’est dur de ne pas entendre les scores, tu es un peu perdu” explique Martinez. « Je pensais que Ricky avait remporte la série. Cette année a été complètement différente de l’année dernière. Je suis content d’avoir passé le 1er tour.”

Le wildcard basque Aritz Aranburu évite le 2nd tour éliminatoire contre Andy Irons et ben Dunn. Arnabau a surfe la competition en France la semaine dernière mais n’avait réussit qu’a surfe jusqu’au 3ieme tour.

“C’est un grand honneur pour moi que de participer à cette competition” explique Aranburu. « C’est un rêve que j’ai depuis que je suis gamin, de surfer ici à Mundaka dans une competition professionnelle. Je suis content du support de Billabong. J’espère que les vagues vont arriver et que je vais pouvoir aller loin dans cette competition ».

Prochaine décision quant au lancement du 2nd tour, demain a Mundaka des 7h.

The “Bastards“ day started out cloudy with the occasional snowstorms but by midday the skies cleared up and the party was on. Jf Pelchat was on early cooking on the BBQ  burgers and dogs for all while Devun Walsh was smoothing and fine tuning the GT cross course. We had over 300 Pilsner beers and five forties of Vodka + endless case of Red bull to keep the boys fueled and energized while racing the GT.  J-bone was doing handplants and Wildcats shirtless on a QP carve on the wall of the snow cave and Devun landed the impossible, a 360 and a bar spin on the GT. “Still Bastards” would like to thanks everyone that showed up and all the sponsors that help with the events: Mount Seymour, Red Bull, Pilsner beer, IS Desgn and Wildcats. This event was a blast and we hope to see you all next year, see the full run down in “Still Bastards” the movie out fall 07. 

Special thanks to Chuky, J-bones, K-man, Gabe and the cat driver you guys rock.

Jeudi, 13:47
Écoute : Ben Harper - Forever
Pensée Du Jour : Pense Au Prochain Avant Toi Même.

   Bon ben euh...j'avais rien a faire en cette belle apres midi pluvieuse, donc j'commence a raconter ma vie a des inconnus sur un blog bidon. J'pense qu'on a droit à plusieurs occassions dans la vie pour justifier notre existence sur Terre. Avec l'age, les occassions se font plus rares, et malheureusement, avec un manque de tact exemplaire, on en manque plusieurs. Pour certains, c'est le boulot, d'autre la santé, moi j'croirais bien par bout que c'est par rapport a la vie que jme plante mais bon, sa srais du pessimisme de dire sa. J'suis quand meme chanceux. J'ai un toit, de quoi m'nourrir, dla poudreuse en abondance durant l,hiver et un été magnifique en compagnie de mes chums. J'tenais just a vous faire remarquer a vous qui lisez ce blog, qu'on est plus que chanceux d'la qualité de vie qu'on a ici. Quand j,regarde autour de moi pourtant, on travaille tous a embellir NOTRE qualité de vie en détruisant celle des autres. Oui, j'connais la base de la liberté("Celle des uns commence ou celle des autres arrete") mais tant qu'a jouer au merdiques petits morveux vivants dans un pays "aisé" pensez plutot à ce que nous fesons a nos prochains et à nos terrains de jeux. En effet, l'effet de serre et le réchauffement de la planete nous atteint NOUS! Dslé tlm, mais on est une crisse de gang d'ignorant! J'souhaiterais que mes enfants et mes petits-enfants puissent rider encore dans 100 ans, alors faites un petit geste chacun pour l'environnement et le réchauffement dla planete(récuperez,éviter de prendre votre auto, peux importe). J'Avoue que j'suis p-e pas le mieux placé pour faire la morale a n'importe qui ici,mais au moins j,essaye de faire ma part chaque jour.

So its now April and the season is starting to drag on!! Well maybe thats because we've been stuck in this overcast weather for the last 5 days. I sure hope it breaks for me in the next day because as of Wed. I am off to AK for 3 weeks of heliing! Yep never thought i'd be getting back up there with a now limited budget and no board sponsor but low and behold I am on my way. Doing this snowboard stunt thing for this feature film "Deep Winter". Pretty good gig too as I make a bit of $$$ and then get to shred some amazing stuff with no huge bill to pay at the end. Also a bonus is I get the raw footage to add to my part in the upcoming Whiteout Films movie so its win win situation. What else is been happening...........Yeah Whistler has been all time this year and I managed to get some real good days around......Singing Pass, and some epic runs in the Kyhbers except the day when Gabe broke his femur!!!! That kinda sucked. I also went to Europe (Romania) which was a once in a lifetime trip......not the best shredding but worth it nonetheless. Okay enough of this its time to get outside and enjoy the day.........well do some cleanup arouund the house its becoming spring quickly and I can see the front of the grass so thats good! Soon it will be bike season and lake time.
