Beijing, CHINA –
Hundreds of people from all over the world gathered
in the Nokia Nanshan Melow Park under floodlights that could be seen
for miles. China’s top riders were showing the crowd what this great
country has produced; rail ninjas true and true.
DJ Wordy took to the decks at 8pm with his original hip-hop-to-heavy-
metal-mash-up sound while spectators from near and far headed up to
the park. The riders jibbed, destroyed and got their grind on in
this rail only event during the one-hour jam session and showed us
all what Chinese snowboarding is about. The park was in perfect
condition, including the ispo rainbow box made entirely from snow not
to mention free beers were flowing courtesy of Quiksilver and ispo
china.
The riders had only 60 minutes to show what they had and Li Xian Yi
was the first to pull a sick Gap to Flat to BS Boardslide Down which
scored him the first of the crisp cool 50 kuai bills offered by the
judges. X-Fox was also on point with a couple of mad whirly birds
over the fun box leaving him in the running for Rail Disaster Of The
Night. Andrew Wilde warmed up and schooled them all with a more then
sick FS to BS Boardslide Combo and we were definitely blown away by
Wanglei who pulled a crazy Rodeo Back Flip Maneuver over the ispo
Ice Box. Whew! All these guys walked away with sick prizes courtesy
of our gracious sponsors. Even the ladies were on point with Yindi
leading the pack and walking away with a Dakine wheelie board bag,
not to mention three crisp, cool 50 kuai bills.
With tonight’s giant crowd including some of the biggest names of the
Snowboard industry, The Quiksilver Night Rail Session made history
once again. This once small but influential event brought the top
riders of this great country together and along with the love from
ispo china and Quiksilver we were able to promote snowboarding and
push our favorite sport even further.
Everyone had a fabulous time and we really could not have asked for a
better night. A special thanks to our sponsors Quiksilver, ispo,
Dakine and Kagen…Yee Haw!
