Nanshan Zai Jian!
With over whelming and
unpredicted warm fronts moving into Beijing, we are sad to report our
days of snowboarding at Nanshan are numbered! I know,I know, its
upsetting but don’t worry! You can still find
some late season turns
just up the road at Wanlong Ski Resort. And don’t forget to come to The

Winter is still not
over!
While in all the other ski
resorts around beijing, the snow is already melting away and they are
closing their slopes.? We still have the Kicker Line and the Rail Line
open and shred ready. Now is the perfect time to
learn new tricks and even do crazy spins over the big kicker (15m flat)
cauz if you slam its so soft that it wont even hurt.
See you soon in the park, the one that opened first and will close
last....hehe.

Quiksilver Night Rail
Session – Night Moves!
Feb 10th, 2007
Beijing, CHINA – Hundreds of people joined us at the Nokia Nanshan
Mellow Park for the 3rd annual
Quiksilver Night Rail Session. The areas top riders were all present and
they were on fire as they took to
the park, lit up by floodlights that could be seen for miles. Spectators
from near and far joined us to cheer
them on as they jibbed, destroyed and got their grind on in this rail
only jam event.
We got the party started around 8pm as the crowd made their way up to
the freshly shaped park. Beats were already bumping as DJ Wordy threw on
some old school tracks to hype up the riders. The copious amounts
of free beer fueled the crowd into a frenzy and the fireworks displays
were off the hizzy. Can I sound any more cliché?
But let’s be serious for a minute. Using the Quiksilver Night Rail
Session as an example, we can seriously
take a look at the progression of the Chinese snowboard scene. From the
first year, where only about 40
people came to check it out (even with the promise of free alcohol) to
tonight’s giant crowd. The crowd was a mix of local Miyunren who came
out to see what all the fuss was about to a group of riders who came all
the
way from Russia.
Back to the subject. The riders had 90 minutes to throw down their
sickest moves in a jam format contest.
Each obstacle was worth one grand prize for the best trick. First up was
the Flat Down where Quiksilver own Andrew Wilde took home a limited
edition Yeti Watch for a sick 270 on 270 off. Li Xian Yi was the ruler
of the
Fun Box with his Butter-on 270-off. Next up was the Quik Mian Bao Che
where Ming Ming flawlessly executed
a FS 3 and Wanglei of course was recognized for doing sick tricks all
over the park. To name a few, he cleared the entire A-box, Front flip
50-50’d the Fun Box and did a 180 on-180 off of the picnic tables. Also,
special recognition went to our Russian friends for their night moves in
the park, they get to share a one of a kind
Danny Kass Gnu Board.
The ladies were also in top form. Yindi took over the top prize for her
BS Boardslides and Mary, Bo-Yee and
Cui Shuang were all showing us what they got and tied for second place.
Everyone had a fabulous time and we really could not have asked for a
better night. A special thanks to our sponsors Quiksilver, Nokia, Dakine,
Deeluxe and Gibson. Word up, homies!

Quiksilver Night Rail
Session
February 10, 2007
8PM
Beijing, CHINA – What do you get when you combine China’s finest terrain
park, a bunch of light, free beer
and a DJ? The Quiksilver Night Rail Session!
As the end of the 2006/07-snowboard season gets closer and closer,
riders and spectators’ get yet another chance to come out to the Nokia
Nanshan Mellow Park for by far the best night to ever hit the Chinese
slopes. On this special night, everyone’s a winner, only some walk away
with some of the best gear on the market.
Heres how it all goes down. The contest formally kicks off at 8pm and
shredders get about an hour to hit the park and show their stuff. Riders
are gauged based on the hoots and holla’s of the crowd, who will be
fueled with all the free beer they can muster….or until we run out
(which ever comes first). Each obstacle is worth a sick prize, from a
new Nokia mobile phone over Quiksilver steeze (Quiksilver limited
edition watch “the yeti”, normally not available in China folks!) and a
brand new Gnu “Danny Kass Pro Model” (also the only one of
these nice boards in China), the Mellow China team is hooking you up!
So, grab your board (and your cheering team) and get yourself to the
Nokia Nanshan Mellow Park this
February 10th for the biggest party of the year!
Oh, and for those of you who don’t wanna go home after the party…we keep
on partying in one of the
cottages at Nanshan! Karaoke!!!!
The Quiksilver Night Rail Session is brought to you in part by Nokia,
Deeluxe, Dakine and Gibson. See you there!
