Not content with adorning their cars to at times absurd extremes, otaku have even turned to the rather more practical expedient of emblazoning their favourite characters on their skis and snowboards for some suitably “painful” down-slope action.
From the recent “2.5th” “Ita-board Off in Tsugaike,” a ski-centric “off-kai” (offline gathering) in which “over 80” otaku gathered to show off 150 finely adorned snowboards and skis:

Who knew NEETS could do sports and socialize like equal human beings?
Oh yeah, thats right. Stereotyping-scumbags.
I completely agree with you. There's just way too many idiots in this world who discriminate and judge others for being themselves.
Right, people knew me as a creep for liking too much animu specially mahou shoujo and girly shows, and a weakling for staying too much in my room busy fapping to computer screens and programming. But they got surprised when they learned I play football, motocross and MilSim.
dude its hilarious, I'm actually an officer of my Universities "Action Sports Club" (can skate board, aggressive inline, freeline skate, snow board, longboard, parkour, and even a bit of bmx), I'm also president of my Uni's Kendo Club, I glay guitar, bass, and drums, use vocaloid to (^. ~ ) and have done over 7 styles (ryu) of different martial arts, and speak japanese. as far as sports I've been on a team and won awards for baseball(yakyu), basketball, football, soccer, tennis, bowling, swimming, and even golf (plus more). I've also been on a 65mile (was actually more...) bike-ride from daytona beach to orlando, FL. All this while becoming an Mechanical Engineer (its end of Jr year for me) I'm one of the most HARDCORE otaku in my school (secretary of the anime club), yet beyond badass. And no one can say shit, .....
この世界はオタクの世界だ！! ( ｀o´）/")
True story, I am bisexual and had relations with this otaku. He is so dreamy. The only downside is that he often looked at anime pictures on the wall when we were in bed together.
cool story, bro
Haters gonna hate, man :P
I know this guy (friends with him, in the same anime club as him/go to the same university (aerospace engineering), and he's taught me the beginning basics of Kendo) and he kicks ass in every way haha
Doesn't seem like such a person exists but he does it all XD Miku lover, extreme sports guy, etc. lol
No one cares.
Damn shame your bipolar meds makes all that delusional bullshit disappear...
If only i took any type of meds.... last time I even had an aspirin was like... what, 3 years ago? but hey, haters gonna hate. I never said I was perfect, I just mentioned some facts,
then u woke up form ur dream
Bi-sexual anon is correct.
I too have had relations with him and find his enduring lack of focus during intercourse quite distasteful.
lol, I read Dmage12's comment and thought he was referring to bisexual anon (so true btw), then realized he was referring to the kicking of ones ass. Myself and otaku lived together for about a year and I will a-test only to the fact that martial arts may well have been responsible for crazy buffness. I still fantasize about him inside me while he moans "yes, miku, that's it, yes!"
-bisexual anon
ah, D-mage, minor note, though I very well could "kick" someones "ass", violence is unnecessary,
martial arts in the end has taught me that you'll only need it against other martial artist who were only taught to through their body parts at you.
What I practice is a way of life and peace, Though "martial art" may literally mean "Waring arts" it is simple ONE of many means towards peace.
The funny thing is I actually know the person that made that comment and he actually does all those things and could very likely kick your ass. ~Dmage12
But on a actually related note: OMFG I want one of those Sonico Boards!! @_@ I'm definitely gonna get me an Ita-Snowboard, though I don't get to go too often anymore. maybe Ita-Aggressive Inlines??
Im sure you do Sazuko, and I can see you riding it to club xD ~dmage12
「お…お兄ちゃん…スキです。」
"O... Onii-chan... Ski desu."
Can't pass up a pun like that.
I wanna ride them all ;)
somehow when i see the picture it reminds me of this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33528269/g.JPG
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33528269/g2.JPG
LOL I remember this episode.
YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!
I wanna step on them.
this is a win.
Watachi wa ZERO!
Kinda wonder if someone would also intentionally put a picture of a character they hated on the feet section just so they can step his/her face everytime they surf..
Too bad it would be スキー and not スキ, so it doesn't really work that well as a pun. Nice try though.
Those are some wicked looking boards!
WHERE CAN I GET THIS DONE!?
I have a pair of new Volkl Shiros that could use 193cm more Strike witches on it.
Miku Hatsune one in http://img3.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-misc-xii/tsugaike-otaku-itaboarding-skiing-action-002.jpg is soo cool!
Matching bindings and everything
OMFG!!!! WHAT DOES THE BOTTOM LOOK LIKE!? I MUST KNOW!!!!
Awesome
O:
Snowboarding in a kigirumi?
THIS MUST BE DONE!!
this remind me of gintama, when the shogun naked while snowboarding,
I hope none of them have sex with the snowboard
They were high off mj. all of them. in the cold. stoned as hell
and the problem is....
I really like the jacket the guy in picture 5 (right hand side - black & white jacket) is wearing.
Anybody know who makes it? Where I could buy it?
兄貴！！ 見るな！ 見るんじゃね--------！！！
Sorry, I couldn't resist... =P
just another reason why japan is better than any other country .....
Half of them don't actually ski, they just happen to own ita-skiing equipment.
It gives and excuse for Japanese kids to go out and have some fun for a change.
i so hope pic 6 is a girl
Meh, if it's a girl she simply doesn not live up to Soniko-chan.
Now I want to customize or buy my board to be like that.
Would be awesome to go skiing with my wifu!
Check out the cho-aniki board on pic 3, fucking right!
Love it, even Tsugaike has trolls.
Somehow this reminds me of Hook-ups skateboards
Someone somewhere is still doing Hook-ups? It's been almost 10 years since I've seen anything with a Hook-ups design.
This is really awesome and creative!
Lelouche does his epic hand postures even while boarding.
