Of course I brought my skateboard and mini-digi cam -
It is about time for a new post, so let's get crackin!
First day in Beijing, had to do some touristy stuff - this is a stone carving inside of the Forbidden City (now called the Imperial Palace) ...I had to stitch two photos together to see the whole thing in detail...
This stair set/ bank thing is inside of the school campus where Catie is studying - I skated it for about an hour trying a bunch of tricks into the middle bank - Kickflip, Shuvit, Front 180, and finally fired off a proper 360 flip ...maybe Catie will film it later..
This was the first skateboard in Beijing that I saw, besides my own - I found it in the sporting goods section of the WuMart (their version of WalMart)...It was priced at 238 RMB (which is about $35 US)...
I had no idea this spot was in Beijing until I arrived and searched YouTube for Beijing Skateboarding...so stoked!
I met a guy named Eli who works at one of the only skate/snow shops in Beijing called "Icon X"
This is his mini-ramp, and it is pretty epic...
This is what the inside of his shop looks like...
Check out the YouTube video I posted!
That's all I have so far ya'll - I may have one more post before I leave, but until the next post- Zai-Jian! (See you later!)
