One month ago, the first Woodward skatepark in China opened its door to the public! Oooops, actually, I don’t know who was the "public" or the skaters/riders invited, but none of us were aware of this opening… Seems that their marketing team is doing a good job… Anyway, here’s a nice edit from/with some Taiwanese riders:
Oh and I looove the skatepark name in Chinese: 北京时尚体育公园, that is accurately translated on the top of their website by: BFSP: Beijing Fashion Sport Park.
BTW, I don’t know why, but they have 2 websites totally different: www.woodwardbeijing.com and www.beijingwoodward.com As their "Rates & Dates" page was just filled with "Coming soon…", I decided to contact them by email in order to prepare a weekend trip over there. One month later, I’m still waiting their answer… I guess that they have the same management team as the Shanghai SMP skatepark… Same big -deserted- skatepark, same story?
This set of three parties brings together Shanghai’s skateboarders, graffiti writers, BMXers and other underground street sports (parkour, inline skating,…) to show off their skills and try to build up their following. Turn up for a night of music and displays.
A week ago, on Saturday, the 17th of October, ElManouch & Keke planned to go to Tàihú for some mountainbike. As there were 2 empty seats, Thibaut & I joined the trip, but for rollerskating (more…)
Apologies for publishing so late those pictures… Anyway, the most important was that I sent on time -ie the day after our ride- a report to Clemens concerning our participation to the 6th 24skate edition
For us, in Shanghai, it was on Sunday, June 14th, earlyyy morning.
We’ve met at 3am in Shanghai downtown. Our 2 金杯 minivans (+ Ginger’s car) were packed with 21 riders! I’m still astonished that so many people were ready for a ride starting at 4am and furthermore with a late notice from me (only 2 days before!). That’s great Within these 21 people, we had 13 boys and 8 girls, 10 Chinese people and 11 foreigners (from France, Taiwan, Germany, Denmark, and Mexico). (more…)
