China Styles wrap up 2011

So we left the land of smokey cloud and got back to the land of the long white cloud a couple of days ago.. Pretty stoaked to be back in NZ drinking some freah tap water and getting amoungst some rain/ sunny/windy thunder storms. Will never forget our season just finished as it was one of the best ever! Mad props to the Mellow parks crew for being so welcoming and accomodating for us while we were staying in Miyun.. Also all the good friends we made on our party missions learning new styles of drinking and having a wicked time... (Dice, Titanic) Quality chineese drinking games.

After Nanshan closed we went back up there to film the intro for the movie.. awesome day filled with beers, chineese BBQ and some snowboarding. Few pictures below from that day and some other shots we got along the way...

Be back to china next season for sure but for the mean time im going to be based in Methven and Ray in Queenstown so will be blogging from all over the south island.... look foward to another killer NZ season (love back to back winters!)

Nike 6.0 Five Gates Final....Night Rail Session

So its been a while since the last post we've been moving round a lot as Nanshan ski field is about to close. Last Saturday we had the night rail session which is the final event for the season followed by a pretty awesome house party in a chalet at the resort. The party was something in itself but wont go on about that to much.... As for the rail jam the setup was dope! we had spent all week setting it up with the help from Nike 6.0 had some pretty cool looking features, quite a few people turned up it was actually a lot bigger event that i thought it would be. Had a jam session for about 2 hours then after had some Chinese freestyle battles for about 40mins which was soo sick! couldn't understand what they were saying but still had respect for some good flow.. As for the results from the jam.

Best trick Canon : Rene Ribitton
Best trick Ledge : Michael McCloy
