Japan Sportscope - Season 6 / Year 2023

This time, Harry's challenge is "Parkour," born from French military training. It's a sport and physical training for the mind and body by running, jumping and climbing. Harry visits Japan's largest parkour facility and starts with basic movements, but has a bit of trouble with the unorthodox moves! To enjoy parkour, you have to use your body and your brain. Not to mention paying attention to the instructor's mind-boggling skills!

Harry's challenge this time is the new sports culture of the "Slack Line" that originated from tightrope walking. They compete in aesthetics and creativity on a resilient belt-like line 5cm wide and 15m long. Harry learns the basics, which can be enjoyed by people of all ages, at one of the largest facilities in Tokyo. He'll try to complete various missions while keeping his balance, but will be able to pick up the slack? A world champion will show him the ropes!

Harry takes on a "Snow Scoot" that mixes bicycle handlebars and a snowboard as he navigates the snowy mountains in a new way. Unlike skiing or snowboarding, Snow Scoots are easy to balance on, even for beginners. Harry masters the basics in less than 30 minutes and hits the course! He tries out slaloms for an even bigger challenge! Will his practice get him to the goal!? The amazing skills of the top Japanese rider are also a must-see!
