japan madness

http://www.finetourjapan.co.kr/File_Folder/irohazaka.jpg

There has been recent discussion on new places to skate amazing roads. Japan is a target because it has amazing hills, roads, great hospitals. This there are three amazing hills roughly 200km's north of Tokyo. These roads are hectic! Mainly used for drift and hill climb racing. Manchild, Robb and myself are very keen to mission and explore the area. Any one else keen?

Ps what do you think of the road?

Yeah japan would be a great place to luge as well....

It has 69 corners and goes for 9.8km. Its called the Iwaki Skyline and is situated on the north eastern half of japan.

I have contacts of some dh skaters from tokyo if any of u want to get in touch with any of them while ur there. Some of them really wants some sort of a dh racing circuit started up in Japan. The hills there are great. Tokyo is surrounded by great hills at all sides and they've got mirrors at every single blind corner. Even at the most remote mountains.

Check out the gnarly 300m high bridge and small nuclear reactor at the bottom of the run lol. Its like your skating through this goat track village and then boooom 3 billion dollar piece of infrastructure as big as the harbour bridge right there. I suppose you need things like that just to truck supplies across this kind of terrain.
