Unbelievable bike movements can be seen right in front of you. Since the helmets are the type that show the face, you can also enjoy the riders' expressions at the same time. You can hear their voices as they talk, and your cheers definitely reach the riders (having your voice directly reach the rider you are cheering for during the match makes cheering very rewarding).
- Masa's Answer
-
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 being together with the riders.
- Answer from Mr. Iwaseki Open

The part where they normally ride a bike up a cliff thinking, "Can you really climb such a cliff?!"
- Answer from Ms. Hanahana Sango
-
The part where the Rider and assistant exchange exquisite calls to conquer highly difficult sections. Also, even though it’s the same section, different Riders attack 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. Not just your favorite, but you want to cheer 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. It’s also nice that there is live commentary and explanation.
- Answer from Ayu
-
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.
- Answer 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 have when watching?
Including watching outdoors and moving around the venue, there are items that are convenient to have when watching trials. Please tell us if there are things you actually brought that were good or items you would recommend to first-time visitors.

・Backpack (easier to balance when worn on your back)
・Shoes, rain boots (well-broken-in ones / be careful as the ground is muddy after rain)
・Lightweight (small) folding chair (allows you to sit and watch, and if the top is flat, it can also be used to place your belongings)
・Raincoat (poncho) (umbrellas can obstruct other spectators, so it’s 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 (useful for placing your belongings in a spot that doesn’t bother others, sitting to watch so you can see people behind you, or choosing one section to sit and watch all the players in turn)
・Carabiner (If you have luggage other than your backpack, attaching a tote bag or similar to the shoulder strap of your backpack frees up both hands)
・Sunglasses (It can be very bright when sunny)
・A mindset not to overdo it (It's fun to move around a lot, but if your luggage is heavy or you move around too much, it can be tough at night or the next day and you might not enjoy yourself. Mobility Resort Motegi has many places to rest, and I think it's important to enjoy yourself at your own pace by eating delicious food at restaurants or enjoying desserts, relaxing and taking it easy) - Answer from Mr. Iwaseki Open

Folding chair
- Answer 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 cannot see, be sure to bring a folding chair!
