I think it would be pretty sick to see an asian team in next years joss.  the level of freeskiing over there has grown i think its time they get on the stage with the pros we all know and love. thoughts?

Shinji, Kentaro, and Tatsuya are the skiers.

Zizo for the photos.

Sweetgrass dudes shoot the video.

BAM!

I still want the movie from the guys with the turtle logo but I don't think they make one for us players. The urban in that trailer was insane.

The Japanese scene needs to merge with the rest of the world. JOSS is the perfect event for this to go down. Here are two teasers for Japanese movies that were released this year:

Totally for it, Japan is the largest community that still has yet to get much coverage. Invite!

How have I never seen footage of that scene before? That was pretty sick, and they seem really really stoked to be on skis.

Only on one condition - that the crazy japanese dude from the first JOI return and take the jump deeper than anyone else.  There was another thread recently about him and a video of his ridiculously montrous 360 crash.  H-U-G-E

They would bring a powder aspect to the edits, like Sammy started the Urban fad

asians are fucking crazy and whenever you watch them they always seem to do something incredibly dangerous, fuck themselves up but then walk away perfectly

ex.-the 3 from the video and MXC

It would be awesome with a team japan in next years JOSS, I think they need more coverage like many others said. And that second trailer was sick!, Garrett russell and a bunch of japanese slayers = one sick movie!

its weird, when ever western crews go over to japan they never link up with any japan crews. They
just keep to them selves. I think i would be why sick if you got level 1 or PBP to do a shoot with some of these guys

I think the lack of exposure/coverage for the Japan guys has to do with the distance but mainly the language barrier.
