I’ve always been a huge fan of Tadashi’s riding<br />

and style, he’s got it so dialed. He rolls up to<br />

Whistler the day before opening every season<br />

and rides every single day. He goes fast,<br />

shreds mad pow and loves snowboarding. You<br />

can tell when you watch him or ride with him<br />

that he shreds from the heart. It’s actually<br />

contagious, in a universal way. Although most<br />

people think Tadashi only speaks Japanese,<br />

but give him a couple beers and he’s fluent in<br />

English. Tadashi is a humble guy who lets his<br />

actions speak for themselves when he rides or<br />

skates. But when you go to Japan, he’s beyond<br />

the man, everyone respects him, he knows<br />

all the best places to go and he’s always one<br />

phone call away from knowing where the<br />

best snow is. When I’m there with him I just<br />

roll with it, no questions asked. Tadashi’s<br />

personality, fluidity and strength mixed with<br />

how big he goes and how solid he is makes<br />

him my personal favorite YES rider.<br />
