http://mpora.com/videos/JkBZ3XWCu Take a look at this edit from the 3rd annual Kumi Yama contest in Les Deux Alpes last month, where teams of 3 riders faced off in one of Europe’s best-known glaciers for an informal, Oriental-style jam. It’s one for you bilingual shredders out there….

Given the Japanese theme and French venue, it’s probably not too surprising to see Kazuhiro Kokubo and Mathieu Crepel among the competitors.  Other riders who brought along their teams included Danny Kass, who incorporated this comp into the Grenade crew’s European tour.

The standard of riding was ridiculous, mellow atmosphere or not, and seeing entire teams hit the big booter at once was a common sight. In the end the slopesyle crown went to the team of Arthur Longo, Mathieu Crepel and Alluan Ricciardi, deserving winners of a contest that was a hit with the competitors and spectators alike.
