如果五年前在秦皇岛的比赛,让大家看到了正在野蛮生长的中国滑板;那么本次大道之子在阿那亚呈现的滑板大师赛,则让我们看到了中国滑板更加有力的羽翼。

The first ever GRAND MASTERS contest by Avenue & Son kicked off with the rookies division at the ARANYA Resort skatepark in Qinhuangdao, China.

Chinas next generation of skateboarders put on a show for the crowd and the judges with 9-year-old Xianda Zhang from Gaomi, Shangdong finishing 1st, 10-year-old Tenghe Wang from Beijing on 2nd and 9-year-old Xia Yan from Zhengzhou taking 3rd place in the men’s division.

On the women’s division we’ve got 8-year-old Yuan Wang from Chengdu, Sichuan taking home 1st place, 7-year-old Zixuan Zhao from Beijing bagging 2nd and 12-year-old Qianya Gao from Xian for 3rd place.

新秀组张显达和王腾鹤的对决直接让全场陷入疯狂之中。王腾鹤更是一路杀到了大师赛半决赛回合。

本次滑板大师赛,也是采用另一种比较常见的,适合超多人数参加预赛的形式——多人果酱赛。由 3 位滑手同时出场,在 3 分钟时间里自由发挥。这也为比赛增加了不少精彩和竞争性。

预赛结束后,大师赛也准备了台子和 miniramp 果酱赛。台子大家都玩得很熟悉了,而在 miniramp 上,不少滑手只能说是真的学习了。在 miniramp 走线的感觉会更加流畅精彩,极具观赏性。

在大师赛决赛回合,曾在各大国际比赛大杀四方,拿下过 2018 年 Tampa AM 冠军, 2019 Tampa Pro 第三名的池田大亮,以最后一轮无失误而力道十足的稳定轮次,在全场站立欢呼之中,毫无悬念拿下冠军。

Keyaki Ike虽然在预赛果酱赛环节摔伤了一只手,但打着石膏丝毫没有影响他发挥,最终拿下第二。谁叫人家是登上过 SLS 领奖台的男人呢?

而 26 岁的 Ryo Sejiri 则用休闲无比的度假风格拿下第三,他的各种 slappy 动作和 no comply 杆上 5050 绝对令人印象深刻。

而中国滑手李祉兴,曾夏秦,郭嘉辉,高群翔等也杀入决赛,并展现了精彩的回合。而大道之子滑手胡浩楠,最终拿下第四名,并以两天精彩的整体表现,拿下“中国 MVP 滑手”。

值得一提的还有,女子前三薯条,程程和蚊子中,薯条则是以第 31 名,差点杀入半决赛和众男子滑手厮杀。

滑板比赛精彩,抢回街道可一点也不弱。大师赛期间,阿那亚直接变身“滑板小镇”。除了每天有滑手到处乱窜之外,最后的果酱赛,也临时封闭了部分路段举办街头道具的比赛——是滑板狂欢节的感觉,没错了!

其实在比赛之外,还有太多太多,比如 LOVESPOT 吆喝卖西瓜汁,GREENERGY 在旁边买咖啡,全品体育在更加隔壁摆摊做套圈游戏,很多人都拿到了宝丽来相机拍摄活动留念……
