…even if it only was 2 runs. nice. not easy to get shred lately…

guess what - we actually pulled it off after having the whole ski resort covered in dust for a day…the event itself was sweet, 50 something riders (which makes this qualifier the biggest up to date) and a lot a lot of new faces. not the easiest conditions cauz windy and freezing but pretty fun.

a big high-five and congratulations to Andrew (who got first yesterday), He Wei, Li Jie, Ming Ming, Li Penghuan and Jokey Tong for qualifying into january’s 8th Red Bull Nanshan Open!

i am sure the below most of u guys out there have never seen before…so keep on reading…

not that we are not already busy like hell with the upcoming qualifier and the actual red bull nanshan open but thx to the shxx weather we had here last night we just got busier. wicked.

sandstorms. not something that has never happened before in beautiful beijing (strong winds come from the north and carry sand from the deserts all the way over here) but in winter? wth.

u should have seen my face today morning when i saw this...

...but thx to lots and lots of helpers it got better...

...and better. now everything is "white" again. tonight we blow snow, tomorrow early morning reshape everything and then we are good to go for the qualifier.

wow. nearly forgot that one. not really any in china.

wish u all the best for christmas (not x-mas pls cauz x stands for eXtreme, which is my favorite word anyways).

i am having a white one. shred tomorrow! wohooo

note: i did not dress up my dog like this. i don't dress my dog...other ppl do ;)

after snowboarding (sex) cigarette

…that even lame brand 361 (chinese adidas or nike knock off) is riding the snowboard train. check their AMAZING photoshop skillz. hahahaha

hell yeah...pls look how the board was ps'd on his feet afterwards ;)

…and he brought his lady to help him with…

...putting on his boots...

...washing his hair...

…and more. i don’t wanna get into details here haha. u just have to love yaya.

good to have u back brother (and sista)!

our favorite russian is back with the mellow park crew to train for the nanshan open. welcome back bratan, i can’t wait to see ur siski again hahahahaha. my russian is amazing.

xiao hu, bra alexey and mingming. u have to love those miyun dinners...

guess what? life is not just fun and snowboarding. its also a lot of work.

yeah right u say? in order to travel, snowboard and behave like a 15 year old there is tons of meetings, hard decisions and hours over hours of sitting in front of my beloved apple…but of course nobody wants to see that on a blog. right? if somebody would actually pay me for just doing my amazing bs and fs 3’s i would of course only party.

pls stop telling me that i am just playing around all day long. thats just BS. i actually work harder and more than most of u mofos out there. so, stop hating on me and get a life. another way is to NOT look at my blog so u don’t get angry

anyways, another “funny” meeting today at the RB hq…the bratans accross from me were sleeping. and that with tons of RB on the table! hahaha
