His career reached a new level at The Nines in Switzerland, where he performed the world's first BS Quint Coke 2160, a trick in which six turns are made and the athlete starts to rotate, turning away from the springboard, turning his back to the direction of travel.

Ogiwara's love for snowboarding started in childhood thanks to his parents, who often took him to ski resorts. At the age of 9, he attracted the attention of the global snowboarding community with a viral video, and at the age of 12, he made his professional debut.
