Last month, we hit up Macau for the FISE competition, which went down in a huge indoor event space on the first floor of the Studio City hotel – a massive casino joint. The contest skatepark setup was sick, with perfect lighting that gave it some serious SLS vibes. But yo, I'm not even here to talk about that temporary contest park. What's really new is this permanent concrete skatepark they just finished building on the hotel's third-floor rooftop!
上个月因为 FISE 比赛我们去了一趟澳门，这次比赛地点选在了一家很大的赌场 Studio City 酒店一楼的室内演出场馆。滑板场设计非常漂亮，配合上完美的灯光，还真的有 SLS 的感觉。但是在这里我不是要说这个一次性的比赛场地，而是在酒店三楼露台上刚刚修建完成的永久性水泥滑板场。
Macau is often called the 'Las Vegas of China,' and it's home to over 30 massive casinos, each with its own unique theme. Studio City is one of these, a huge casino, hotel, and entertainment complex that opened in 2015 with a Hollywood movie theme.
澳门是中国的拉斯维加斯，这里有超过30多家大型赌场，每一家都有自己的主题风格。Studio City 是其中一家2015年建成开幕，以好莱坞电影为主题的大型赌场，酒店，娱乐综合体。
FISE Battle of The Champions contest park inside Studio City, this massive indoor space used to be where they'd hold concerts by pop stars. This year, Studio City is exploring new ways to attract visitors through a partnership with FISE. The competition has invited numerous top skaters from around the world to participate, including Keyaki Ike, Ginwoo Onodera, Daisuke Ikeda, Garbaccio Joseph, Richard Tury, Funa Nakayama…
以往这个巨大的室内空间被用来举行明星演唱会，但是今年 Studio City 通过与 FISE 的合作探寻新的吸引游客的途径，比赛邀请了来自全球的多位顶级滑手参加，包括 Keyaki Ike, Ginwoo Onodera, Daisuke Ikeda, Garbaccio Joseph, Richard Tury, Funa Nakayama……
Back to the massive rooftop terrace on the hotel's third floor, this used to be a sky garden. But Studio City, looking to kick off some new ventures, started construction earlier this year and transformed it into Macau's first completely free and open concrete skatepark(design by Hurricane Parks and built by Huachuang)! Chatting with Erik, the owner of local skate shop MAOD, we learned that this is also a government-supported project. During the pandemic, Macau's local casino business took a huge hit, prompting the government to think about developing local consumption options beyond just gambling that locals could get involved in.
回到酒店三楼的巨大露台，这里原本是一个空中花园，Studio 为了开展新的项目，今年早些时候开始施工，把这里变成了澳门第一个完全免费开放的水泥滑板场！在于本地滑板店 MAOD 主理人 Erik 聊天中获知，这也是一个政府支持的项目，疫情期间澳门本地赌场生意暴跌，促使政府思考在赌场生意之外尽可能的开发本地人可以参与的消费形式。

The park's got a dope design and the build quality is top-notch. No doubt Studio City's gonna be the go-to hotel for skaters hitting up Macau.
场地的设计富有创意，施工质量也堪称一流，相信 Studio City 会成为滑手们来澳门的首选酒店。
During the FISE competition, Studio City also held a grand opening event for the skatepark, inviting Kai Kakashi （adidas & April Skateboards) and Jasper Dohrs (New Balance & Victoria, Preduce) to come and do demos. The event was MC'd by Chunchai from Hongkong (Vans China).
在 FISE 比赛期间，Studio City 还为这个滑板场举行了隆重的开幕活动，并邀请了 Kai Kakashi 和 Jasper Dohrs 前来现场做了表演。香港俊仔担任了活动现场主持。
Mad props to Studio City for building such a sick skatepark for the Macau scene! Hopefully, betting on skateboarding brings in a whole new wave of young visitors, and we see even more skate contests and events going down here in the future.
感谢 Studio City 为澳门滑手修建了这么一个完美的滑板场，也希望押注滑板可以帮他们吸引来更多的年轻客群，未来在这里举办更多的滑板赛事和活动。
