Q1
What are the highlights of the trial?
Trial riding is captivating because of the Rider's sense of balance, machine control, and the way they navigate natural terrain and obstacles. Please share points such as "It's interesting to watch here" or "You can enjoy it by focusing on this kind of scene" so that even first-time viewers can understand and appreciate it.

Unbelievable bike movements can be seen right in front of you. Since the helmet is the type that shows the face, you can also enjoy the rider's expressions at the same time. You can hear their voices as they speak, and your cheers definitely reach the riders (having your own voice directly reach the rider you are cheering for during the match makes cheering very rewarding).

You can see the riders and bikes up close. You can hear the riders expressing their frustration, and when the audience cheers or applauds, the riders respond, giving you a feeling of spending time together with the riders.

The part where they normally ride a bike up a cliff and you think, "Can they really climb that!?"
- Response from Ms. Hanahana Sango
-
The part where the Rider and assistant exchange subtle calls to conquer a highly difficult section. Also, even though it’s the same section, different Riders attack it using different lines, and when someone skillfully clears a spot where others have failed, it really excites the heart.
- Answer from Ayu
-
You can have a favorite rider. You can see them up close both while they are riding and preparing. You want to cheer not only for your favorite but for everyone.

The 12 sections in the final Hello Woods. The sections themselves are interesting, and the reactions of the riders after finishing are also very wonderful. Having live commentary and explanations is also great.

The area near the parking lot at the bottom of the slope (N2). There is a hill climb and rocky terrain, and you can watch up close, so I like it.
- Response from Ms. Hanahana Sango
-
My favorite section is the Hello Woods section.
- Masa's Answer
-
All areas are easy to see, but among them, the Hello Woods area is especially easy to view.
Q3
What items are convenient to bring for watching the event?
There are useful items to have when watching the trial, including for outdoor viewing and moving around the venue. Please share any items you actually brought that were helpful or any recommended items for first-time visitors.

・Backpack (easier to balance the center of gravity when worn on your back)
・Shoes, rain boots (well-broken-in ones / be careful as the ground is very muddy after rain)
・Lightweight (small) folding chair (allows you to sit while watching, and if the top is flat, it can also be used to place your belongings)
・Raincoat (poncho) (Umbrellas can obstruct other spectators, so it is best to use them only when going to and from the parking lot)
・Long (neck-hanging) towel, stole (for sun protection when the sunlight is strong and to absorb sweat on the neck)
・Leisure sheet (to place your belongings in a spot that doesn't bother others, to sit and watch while allowing people behind you to see, or convenient for choosing one section and sitting to watch all players in turn)
・Carabiner (If you have luggage other than your backpack, attaching a tote bag or similar to the backpack's shoulder strap frees up both hands)
・Sunglasses (It can be quite dazzling when it's sunny)
・A mindset not to overdo it (It's fun to move around actively, but if your luggage is heavy or you move around too much, it can be tough at night or the next day, making it hard to enjoy. Mobility Resort Motegi has many places to rest, and I think it's important to enjoy at your own pace by eating delicious food at restaurants or enjoying desserts, relaxing and taking it easy) - Response from Mr. Iwaseki Open

Folding chair
- Response from Ms. Hanahana Sango
-
・Folding step stool (can be used as a chair or a stepping stool)・Trekking shoes
- Masa's Answer
-
Since you will be moving around while watching, and if everyone stands up, people behind won’t be able to see, be sure to bring a folding chair!
