35 year old former Japanese Olympic slalom/giant slalom skier Akira Sasaki came in a little hot on this side hit and ended up blowing out in the flats but shrugged it off on account of “Steel strong my neck”.  I realize Japanese to English Google translate is not an exact science, but his explanation is pretty awesome:

“I changed my trajectory thanks because I hit it on my line without flying until someone got into a gangchild firmly approach I slowly made! I was played at the Ikinari lip! I’m strong and strong I keep making body that will not break even if I eat my body 👊 Keep taking pictures to the last minute calmly @realive_daigo is also a professional! Thank you always”
