now for everybody and that even without a proxy or vpn server

vimeo is not working in china anymore...sorry guys...will post the youku link soon for sure though!

Good things take time, and they say bigger is better… so now i share with you the 4 minute action packed one and the full 6 minute 8th Red Bull Nanshan Open video. This one offers more of a behind-the-scenes perspective and covers the action from the moment the pros landed in China.
