Thanks for the Japow Tour C Dub and Co!

[@CaseyWillax]

[@jaywhoo2101]

if nothings planned nothing can go wrong is such a great way to think about it

[@CaseyWillax]

literallllllly

[@jayevibes]

This video was exactly what I needed to see right now.. I am planning to travel to a few different countries this year on my own and I have been putting it off due to fear of all the things that could possibly go wrong.. After watching your travel tips.. I realized I just need to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown.. It’s what makes every adventure so much fun.. not knowing where you will end up.. is part of the process of living free.. Thanks for the wake up call!!💯🙏🏼

[@CaseyWillax]

Make is happen Jaye!! Live the life you dream of!

[@jayevibes]

@@CaseyWillax I will make it happen.. just lacking a little confidence!! But I will do it!!💯👍🏼

[@poolepit]

Also folks, be prepared for some post vacation depression. Been home for almost 2 weeks from a month in Japan and it's slowly leaving my body, the first few days back in Canada were ROUGH. Just start planning for the next adventure so you have something to look forward to.

[@CaseyWillax]

Thx for tips

[@CaseyWillax]

No problem!

[@vincentorr507]

I'll refer to this video when I go to Japan. BTW so much so waiting for you back home. There's so much more stoke in sore!

[@CaseyWillax]

Do it! Save that shit!

[@yicunwan]

Great Guide! I'm also hoping to make a guide on riding in Niseko for the next season!

[@CaseyWillax]

Wooo stoked to watch it

[@hiya5643]

great times in japan, i appreciate the stoke and seeing pow turns! you are in the Tao!

[@CaseyWillax]

Yewww see you soon buck!

[@nathandemonto5308]

Rad vid I am going to Japan!!!

[@CaseyWillax]

LETS GO!!!!

[@charlievogt108]

In Niseko for two weeks, flying solo. I would recommend just buying a Ubigi ESIM. Been working really well so far, have yet to not know where I am. You are able to stay in contact with all of your people without having to worry about going on quest to find wifi.

[@CaseyWillax]

We make it by with the bare minimum haha

[@thecoleh3311]

Was killing the park today at snow valley thanks to all the stoke I get from the boys! Japan looked amazing thanks for all the love brothas 🙏💯

[@CaseyWillax]

Literally dreaming!! Yewww

[@freshzinn]

took a short break, first vlog back in, stoke right back to where it used to be ♥

[@CaseyWillax]

LFGGG thanks for sticking around

[@williamhunter2213]

Yo that is me sitting out front, 1:26 at the other end having breakfast... I saw TCap!

[@CaseyWillax]

wowwww that's epic!

[@dpj9421]

Hi Casey, so stoked that you came to Asia - Japan! Thanks for keeping up the stoked hype! Always a supporter! Side question, I am a progressing intermediate and have always been wanting to try a LAGO double barrel snowboards. However I am not a fan of wanting to catch and edge, and have also read the reviews on it. They say that there is very minimal rocker in the tip and tail of the contact points unlike what the website claims it to have a mellow/forgiving contact points and that it rides like a super stiff traditional camber. Can I check if you would agree if it’s very hooky/catchy that for a progressing intermediate (Low to Mid Intermediate) like me, if I’m not constant riding at my 100% attention, would I end up catching and edge and body-slamming the ground? Thanks again!

[@CaseyWillax]

So0o0o much stoke. Its a great progression board! Its a medium stiffness so it will be very forgiving when it needs to be, but still has regular camber so it has hold. Try it out!

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Snowboard in japan is a dream

[@CaseyWillax]

It literally is

[@PiMpiNx187]

Epic trip🤙🤙

[@CaseyWillax]

So much fun!

[@mackie_p]

Hell yeah to sleeping on curtains!! Had to use curtains for covers once or twice in my day 🤣🤣

[@CaseyWillax]

Yewww the dream!

[@Campbellscustoms]

YEEEWWW!!! DirtyyyGurtyyy coming in clutch🙏 YLTSI

[@CaseyWillax]

Wooooo

[@snowjunkie2121]

I listened to the housing crisis podcast and what you said about the discord and coming together to get housing and live the dream is awesome. I do not know if the discord is still going but anyways I would love to live the dream I just have college tuition now. I think about it all the time and I am always using you advice that I hear from the pod and vids. Just do not know which path is right for me and it is a shame I have to spend so much money trying to figure it out.

[@CaseyWillax]

Thanks for being involved!! Yewww

[@paulhero5440]

Awesome Japow trip! Now get some solid sleep brotha to recharge and we will see you soon!

[@CaseyWillax]

So much fun!

[@smumm]

More Japan tips.. capsule hotels are cheap places to stay in the city (some are pricey but some are dirt cheap). As a last resort if you need a last min place to crash.. find a 24hr onsen. Luggage can be a PITA but not in Japan as there are many services that will send you luggage to a hotel anywhere in Japan for a small fee.. so if you arrive at Tokyo and will be headed to Niseko later.. you can drop your gear bag at the shipper (there are many at the airport, just ask someone) and it will be waiting for you at your hotel in Niseko (no need to lug it around the city with you). As for the business man you came across.. it is normal at night for salarymen to be near black out drunk in the city.. often you will see a few passed out on the train.

[@CaseyWillax]

This guy knowsssssss

[@nbnd3342]

sitting in the back of the bus real badman 😂❤

[@CaseyWillax]

[@ZeroPercent313]

Yo are you guys going next year with Shane? Talked to him when he got back, looking like 1st week of February

[@CaseyWillax]

We never plan this far in advance but we shall seeeee

[@insulin801]

Hey man I cried both times I went home from Iceland haha. Let it out!

[@CaseyWillax]

Let her outtttttt

[@thecoleh3311]

Hey dude quick question, do you have any tips on how to hit a C box/rail? I tried the other day and ya boy flipped right off the other side of it lmao thanks!

[@CaseyWillax]

Haha pretty much have to go sideways on those and it depends which way they're facing

[@dhayes1352]

First view, keep the stoke going!!!

[@CaseyWillax]

Wooooo

[@rgarewal100]

Hey bud, should I get a twin freestyle board or all mountain? I’ll ride anything but dig side hits and wanna get better in the park. Is a twin gonna be a big help in the park but a huge detriment everywhere else? I will always opt for an untracked pow day over anything else.

[@CaseyWillax]

Depends on the type of board. Some directional twin has those weird tails that don't do well backwards. Maybe get a directional twin with a normal tail so if you want to go switch you can

[@rgarewal100]

Thanks man, those were my biggest concerns!@@CaseyWillax

[@rgarewal100]

Oh, real quick, does the huck knife pro rider powder at all?@@CaseyWillax

[@cameron9862]

Imma be honest, I’ve just come back from Japan also, did a few weeks in Tokyo then niseko for a few weeks and I found Apple Maps to be so much easier to follow, ended up deleting google maps

[@CaseyWillax]

Hahah apple maps works sometimes and google maps works others

[@03BENNY]

Dude from my gatherings of Japan they’re really big on business deals and drink to close deals. Drinking is a thing out there and just like New Orleans people fall asleep right were they currently are at the moments…. Pffff knocked out sleepy time.

[@CaseyWillax]

Hahah drinkingggg

[@snowboardal5562]

This trip seems was even more epic than 2020's right?? Tnx for the stoke, the tips and the good vibes from Japow my bro 🤙🏻🤙🏻 for the dream 👍🏻184

[@CaseyWillax]

Every years gets better and better with more experience and knowledge!

[@snowboardal5562]

@CaseyWillax true that 💪🏻

[@Ryan__F]

AAA is important. Last season last day wanted to night ride with fiends and had my wife take the car back to accommodation and pick us up later. Got side swiped by a car and because she had no international drivers permit she got taken to the police station and interrogated for 3 hours. Accident happened at 5 process was over at 11:30 pm. Nothing happened they just said don't do it again in the end. Goodtimes lol.

[@CaseyWillax]

Jeeeeeeze hate to hear that!

[@josephdwyer5541]

Don't you need a roundtrip flight to travel internationally?

[@CaseyWillax]

Most of the time yes.... but we figure it out haha
