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!
