人全到! Tony Hawk在自己的Twitter上和博客里给我们介绍了他来北京第一天的全部过程,还有一些精彩的照片. 昨天是他的生日,祝他生日快乐. 另外我发现在北京Woodward的室内板场外面的空地上,临时搭建了一个全尺寸的大U池,估计是用于表演的.我翻译了全文,可以进来看.
Happy Birthday Tony Hawk and Neal Hendrix! Tony just posted some photos and the story about his first China trip in his blog, continue read for the more...
从旧金山机场登机, 航班上有太多滑手了,全是来参加北京Woodward开幕的,非常热闹. 还有谁可以把这么多顶级的滑板人都召集到一个航班上呢? 只有一个原因-北京Woodward. 我们已经听说过很多关于北京Woodward的事情了,也看过很多在建设期间的照片,每个人都非常期待. 同样首要前往的还有Ryan Sheckler, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki, Riley Hawk, David Loy, Neal Hendrix, Curren Caples, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Zared Bassett, Joey Brezinski, Ryan Decenzo, Zach Miller, Corey Duffel, Juergen Horwarth and Tony Magnusson.
12个小时候我们到达北京,乘坐大巴直接抵达场地. 入口处巨大的U池,令人难以置信的街区板场和室内板场是对我们最好的欢迎. 所有人都忘记了时差的存在直接开始滑板. Curren Caples选择了一个最大的Gap来作为他的热身动作, 同时, Riley, David & Jaws正在海面池里练习他们的MegaRamp动作. 我看到Jaws在练习倒空翻两圈... 我和Zach Miller在室内板场里四处乱滑.这个板场包括...(此处掠过,可以查卡之前我发的照片),几个小时之后,我们回到旁边的酒店开始晚餐,是中餐自助, 菜名好像叫茄子烧肉什么的,非常好吃,对我来说没有问题.
饭后,他们拿出了一个蛋糕,为了庆祝我和Neal Hendrix的生日,因为我们到达的日子(12号)刚好是我俩的生日, 他们也准备了很大的生日party. 然后我2岁的女儿开始困了...明天我们就要开始在北京旅游观光了.

Got on a flight from San Francisco to Beijing that had so many skaters on board it looked like it was a chartered jet. Who would summon such a crew across the world? Woodward Skate Camp and their first international installation: Woodward Beijing. We have heard a lot of good things about this place and seen some photos of it under construction, so there was a genuine excitement “in the air.” Among the invitees were Ryan Sheckler, Aaron “Jaws” Homoki, Riley Hawk, David Loy, Neal Hendrix, Curren Caples, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Zared Bassett, Joey Brezinski, Ryan Decenzo, Zach Miller, Corey Duffel, Juergen Horwarth and Tony Magnusson.
We landed 12 hours later and shuttled straight to the new facility, being welcomed by a giant vert ramp, amazing street plaza and a sprawling indoor facility. Jetlag was quickly forgotten and everyone started skating. Curren Caples chose one of the biggest gaps in the place as his warmup while Riley, David & Jaws worked on their Megaramp tricks into the foam pit. I might have seen Jaws try to a double backflip… or it was a beautiful mishap. Zach Miller and I found our way around the indoor skatepark, which was a daunting task. It includes a full-sized street course, 3 separate bowls connected via spines and wallrides, a foampit for launching, two mini-Megaramps, and two vert ramps with a resi-pad in between for those “softer” landings. After a couple hours of skating and delirious sweating, we went inside for a traditional Chinese buffet with dish names like “meat with pineapple” and “exploding goat.” For the record, everything tasted good and I didn’t ask too many questions.
They then brought out a cake for Neal Hendrix and me, since we arrived on our birthday. They also gave us the biggest birthday card ever. Not long after, my 2-year-old daughter passed out from exhaustion. The rest of us took her cue and went to sleep. Tomorrow we become tourists.
