始于2009年在杭州举办的“钱塘江滑板对决秀”，短短两年内Dragon Sk8滑板巡回赛的知名度、认同度和专业性不断提高，成为中国滑手认可的卓越滑板赛事。2011年，全新冠名的“Vans Dragon Sk8滑板巡回赛”将在中国六大城市举办：北京、深圳、成都、西安、上海和杭州。

“Dragon Sk8被众多滑手视为国内最地道的滑板赛事，随着滑板运动以及lifestyle在中国的不断发展，我们有责任寻找合适的合作伙伴。目前有不少品牌有意赞助此项赛事，但在冠名商的选择上，我们极为谨慎，品牌的正宗和历史尤为重要。能与Vans这样的顶级品牌合作，我们非常高兴。”

In a short 2 years, starting with the “Battle at the Silver Dragon” in 2009, the Dragon Sk8 Series has grown in notoriety, popularity and legitimacy to become the preeminent series for Chinese skaters. The newly branded “Vans Dragon Sk8 series” in 2011 will tour 6 major cities in China; Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi’an, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
“Not just another “exhibition” masquerading as a contest, the Dragon Sk8 Series is designed to further the development of skating in China by tailoring the comp to the needs and desires of the skaters. With the participation of the local skaters here in China, we continue to grow the experience for everyone involved.” commented Glenn Brumage, Director at Wabsono and IASC board member.
“Considered by the majority of skaters as China’s most legitimate skateboarding event, it is important for us to act responsibly in finding the right partners as the sport and lifestyle grows in our country. There is no lack of athletic brands throwing money around and looking to buy their way into skating here, so we took great care in choosing a Title sponsor. For us, it is about legitimacy and reputation. With Vans’ heritage as the original skateboard shoe brand we are very excited to have them working with us.” said Bao Xuping, CEO Wabsono.
Vans Action Sports Category Manager Mathew Morgan said “Vans is excited about its partnership with Wabsono on the Dragon Sk8 Series and looks forward to providing an authentic platform for the development of skateboarding in China. We see the potential in this series to become one of China’s most important and anticipated skateboarding events every year.”
