1. How did you know about snowboard? When did you start snowboarding? K: we were in the far november 1996 , me and some friends were surfing in the cool water of mediterranean sea (here in italy the winter start on this month). while we were waiting waves , we spoke about the winter season , and the new sky that we had to buy .. the day after i saw in a skate shop a special surf for the snow ... so , in this moment i understood that my life coul be changed . The 26 november , was my first day by this big snowskate , after an hour i tried to do my first jump .. ahahah ... i had immediately a good feeling by this strange board.
1996 年 11 月,我跟幾位朋友到地中海衝浪,那時正是冬季的開始,我們在有點冷的海水中等著浪頭來時,聊到打算如何打發冬季,也聊到該去買哪些滑雪設備… 第二天,我竟然在一個 skate shop 中看到這種可以在雪地上衝浪的板子… 在那神聖的一瞬間,我聖靈充滿,我知道我的人生已經走到了足以承受如此大便【sorry…大變】的時刻。11 月 26 日,我第一次踏上 snowboard 的不歸路,一個小時之後,我嘗試做了我人生中第一次大躍進… 嘿嘿嘿… (天賦異稟的)我馬上抓到了 snowboard 的感覺…
2. Who did influence your snowboarding most? K: When i started , there wasn’t snowboarders on the slopes , ... for two year i hadn’t ‘style concept’. I started to try tricks ( grabs , rotation) only by my self , there wasn’t people for ask information... , after i saw some U.S.and canadian video like tecnical difficulties, momentum , and i take some inspiration .
剛開始的兩年,那個滑雪場根本看不到幾隻玩 snowboard 的貓,我完全抓不到 snowboard 的要領,只能靠著自己(奇高的天份)試著玩抓板啦、轉身啦這些花式玩法,也沒有(夠格的)人可以交換經驗… 直到我看了美國和加拿大的滑雪影片,如 Technical Difficulties 啦、Momentum 啦等的,我才感受到真正的啟發…
3. Could you please give us some tips about snowboard learning? K: So , first we have to get feeling with our board , start doing one foot exercises on the floor before take the lift , don’t have fear and feel positive , you have to listen to the feedback from your feet and use the edges (back / front) correctly on the snow , before start you have to be able to brake the board .. if you want... you can do it (90 % of difficulties are on your mind)!
想滑得好,你必須要能抓到板子的感覺;上 lift 前先在家裡練習單腳站立,下 lift 會比較輕鬆;學滑雪之前,先學會煞車;用心體會從板子傳到你腳上的脈動,正確地使用板邊來操控滑雪;心理建設是很重要的一環,別害怕,摔跤是必然的,打不過它,就用愉快的心情來面對它;只要你有心,就一定會進步,其實 90% 的困難都是你自己在嚇自己,沒那麼困難的啦…
4. You ride average 250 days per year. Thta's a lot. Why do you have so much passion on snowboarding? K:I can’t image my life without snowboarding , now i wake up in the morning , and i know what to do .. i have to learn , every day i learn some thing , i like the nature around me , the friends with the same passion , i know that ‘s my work , but i don’t ride for the money in my mind ,but for me. I feel an explosive satisfaction every time i’m snowboarding , it’s pure fun , so without i feel depression.
我完全無法想像以前沒有 snowboard (那段行屍走肉)的日子我是怎麼過的。現在每天早上醒來,我的人生有明確的方向、我知道我該怎麼活、我知道我該做什麼,我要活到老、學到老,每天都在學習,每天都在進步。我很喜歡我所身處的環境,我的朋友也與我對 snowboard 有著同樣的熱情,那是我的工作,可是我並不是為了錢而滑雪,而是為了我自己的天性。我每次玩 snowboard,都能感覺得到那種爆炸性的成就感與滿足,純粹的歡樂。沒有了 snowboard,我會很沮喪!
【嗯,翻完這一段,我自己也感受到一股宗教情節般的狂熱,可惜由於身邊沒有雪… 瞬間熄滅!】
5. What's the worst injury or wipeout you've ever had snowboarding? K:Mmmm.. the worst injury was some year ago when i lost memory for few minutes doing a big cliff at the end of the day : don’t jump if you are tired !
嗯,有一次在精疲力盡的情況下,還從一個懸崖衝下來,結果造成記憶喪失了數分鐘之久,那是我記憶中最嚴重的傷害。體力不濟時,別逞強!
6. What are your favorite ski resorts, and why? K:Beh , in Italy Livigno ( bigger park) and Abetone (because it’s my home resort) , in Europe Laax (good park) , in Usa Mammoth mtn and June mtn ( perfect parks )
嗯,最喜歡的雪場,歐洲的有 Italy Livigno,它有很大的 park;Abetone,是我的根據地;Laxx 有很好的 park;美國的 Mammoth 和 June mountain 則有很棒的 park。
【Beh 應該是義大利文吧,小弟舉白旗啦… 】
7. In your view, what's the difference of ski resorts between US and Europe? K:In USA there are more opportunities for freestyle training because every spot have big and perfect parks , there is more freestyle culture in every spot i saw. In europe we have more lift for riding around the mountains but less parks , but the things are changin because the freestyle marketing is more popular day after day
美加的雪場多半都有很大而且很棒的 park,每個 park 的設計風格各異,所以學不同 freestyle 的機會比較多。歐洲的雪場 lift 很多,雪道很多,park 則比較少,但近年來花式特技風行,所以 park 也有日漸普片的趨勢。
8. What's your favorite and less favorite chinese food? K:I love chinese food , my favorites are sushi and soia spaghetti with vegetables !
我喜歡中國菜,我最喜歡的是壽司和日式涼麵和蔬菜。
【基本上我翻得不知所云,但完全可歸咎於 Kekko 的荒腔走板!soia 不知是三小,我個人認為可能是 soba 的別字… 大家都看,是大家都看得懂,還是大家都看不懂啊?】
9. Have you ever riding in eastern Asia? If yes, where and how's that? K:Sorry , but i never rode there ... so invite me and i’ll come for sure .... ahah
抱歉,沒去過亞洲的雪場… 不過如果各位很誠懇地邀請,我是絕對不會爽約的啦… 哈哈…
【這裡我覺得翻成「嘿嘿嘿」好像有點不妥,所以…】
10.Beside snowboarding, what's your other favorite sports? K:My hobbies are : surf (i ‘m going to do a surf trip in dominican repubblic) , and i like motorcycles
除了 snowboard 之外,我還喜歡衝浪和摩托車,我正打算要到多明尼加來個衝浪之旅咧…
11.What's your schedule of the coming season (2006/2007)? K:I Started some day ago doing some world challenge competition here in italy , next week i’ll go to hintertux (austria) for shootin and filming , in december i’ll teach in my home resort (abetone) , in january i’ll start shooting and filming around italy parks and europe ( i hope in big snow falls) , i ‘ll do some competition for italian championship , maybe a trip to mammoth mtn in april. Next summer i’ll teach for Big-A camp in france (L2alpes)
前些日子,我在義大利規畫一個世界性的挑戰賽、下週我會到奧地利的 Hintertux 去拍照和攝影、十二月中我會回 Abetone 去當滑雪教練、然後明年一月間我打算到義大利的一些公園和歐洲去拍照和攝影影、然後參加一些義大利的滑雪錦標賽、說不定會在四月間走一趟 Mammoth… 至於明年夏天,應該會在法國 L2Alpes 的 Big-A Camp 當教練吧。
【靠!難怪大家都說我們只懂生存,不懂生活…】
12.Do you have any special habits on snowboarding? K:Mmm, nothing in particular ... but before a jump i have to controll all my stuff , pants, jacket, bindings ... i don’t know why ??
沒什麼特別的習慣,但在跳躍之前,我一定會把衣服、褲子、binding 啦等的好好整理一番,確定所有的東西都在我的掌握之下… 我也不知道為什麼我要這麼做!
13.Could you please share your coolest riding or trick photos/videos to us? K:For sure , i don’t know if the pics i shared to brian are the best of my riding but ... it’s me
沒問題,雖然我不確定給 Brian 的那些是不是我最瀟灑的,但可以確定的是… 瀟灑的照片都不是替身!
14.What's your most unforgetable riding experience? K:One day of powder in Cervinia near Zermatt (switzerland) .... 10 hours without a stop , surfing meters of fresh snow from the opening of the lift to the end. Whow!
有一次在瑞士 Zermatt 附近的 Cervinia 雪場,連續滑了 10 個小時的 powder,從 lift 開始運轉給他玩到沒有 lift 可搭才作罷,那次印象最深刻。
【是不是迷路了?】
15.When is the best time to go snowboarding? K:I think the best months are march and April , there are a lot of snowfall , the temperature is mild , and the day light is longer than before, so u can snowboard more
我認為三月到四月間滑雪應該是最好的時機吧,這段時間降雪量夠,氣溫過得去,而且白天時間還比較長,可以滑得痛快點…
16.When you're boarding,what kinds of music do you usually listen to? K:Usually i listen to music before snowboarding( metall, hiphop,reggae) ... while i’m riding , i like the sound of my edges on the snow
我喜歡 metal、hiphop、reggae 類的音樂,但只在滑雪前聽,滑雪時,我喜歡聽板子在雪上滑的聲音…
【大師的話各位一定要聽,要開始用心體會板子在雪上滑過的美妙聲音… 小弟隨時都樂意為各位保管那些重金禮聘而來的名貴音響器材!】
17.What would you be doing if you weren't a pro snowboarder? K:Mmm, maybe a surfer in some tropical paradise or a tipical guy with a ‘normal’ work , maybe designer .... but i like too much feel the nature around me , so i don’t think that i could be a worker in a office
嗯,也許是個熱帶地區的衝浪玩家或是個平凡的上班族吧,我也有些設計天份的… 但我實在太熱愛大自然了,所以憋在辦公室裡,應該是會憋死的…
