    Japanese Pro killed in Avy in Japan while shooting video

    Tomoaki Yoshino was on the FIS tour for the last three years and was widely considered a superstar in Japan. Very sad indeed.

    fattwins, pm sent.


    the article was rather short. i'd like more info as to what they deem an off-limits area is. maybe fattwins has some more info on this one since it is in his neck of the woods.
