The second Rail Jam of the season was EPIC. The Niseko Rail Jam, that happened this past January 10, had a high caliber of riders that came and gave it their all, way more attractions (including food and MORE drinks), and more rails for the skiers and snowboarders to hit.
This time around, the sign ups were filled very quickly, so if you want your chance to compete in our final Rail Jam of the season, make sure you get to the Rhythm Japan main shop in Niseko right when the doors open to sign up. Our final Rail Jam this winter will be on February 10, 2018.
It was a very snowy evening, making the rails even crazier to ride.
Not to mention, Red Bull came by with their music, DJ, and free energy drinks, which was an awesome way to make the event even more entertaining.
The grommies joined in on the competition for Series 2 as well, and they performed excellently.
Our first Rail Jam boasted more snowboarders, but this time we had more skiers hitting the rails.
There were tons of amazing prizes, including headphones, a pair of skis, a Tamashii bar tab, and adventure brochures from Explore Niseko.
We saw a lot more flips this time around too.
The audience also had to opportunity to win some Oyuki gear! Thanks to our partners Explore Niseko and Nisade for helping to plan the second Niseko Rail Jam. Can’t wait for the next one!
