First Fat Saturday to hit Quiksilver Nanshan Mellow Park this Weekend

Hot off the heels of the 8th Red Bull Nanshan Open comes our signature Fat Saturdays event to help transfer all that stokedness out of your body from watching the pros throw down over the weekend! This Saturday, January 23rd head to the Quiksilver Nanshan Mellow Park for free demo gear from top snowboard brands and receive on-site coaching on your park riding. As usual, professional photographers will be there catching all the action, and there’s no need to worry about about lift lines - the lower section of our park has it’s own dedicated tow rope! The fun begins around 10:00am.

a run through the park. loving my job right now

now that the nanshan open is over i have to clean out my space on my 3 extra discs cauz i have so many pics and vids…stumbled over tons of old and funny ones and also found the folder “best shred day ever”.

2007 in austria, with all my homies (marco, andrew, mellow, tommi, mc euml and alex), amazing weather and pow pow. omg what a day. i can’t seriously wait for u GS come to china on friday. lets do the same at nanshan (without the pow though. sorry guys).

hiking to the good spots

spraying the powder

marking the territory

and then hanging with your best mates from back home. mc euml, tommi, alex and me. pics by marco. thx brother. good times.

just got that forwarded from olli cauz i nearly got beaten up a couple of days ago for apparently talking smack about somebody that i would actually never talk smack about. that was not fun. the statement below is though.

so, now that all the pro’s are gone and its getting a little more quiet over here we actually have some time to shred the obstacles we build by ourselves. today ba came to shoot the up cannon (or penis obstacle…thats how marco calls it). looks scary but its actually pretty chill and thx to ba i packed some good shots today.

we also had quik hk bringing in tons of media today…so we actually shot all day long. pretty exhausting but pretty happy right now.

ba is a fast learner. sweet angle on that one! me like-y!

if u look close u see a plane coming out my butt

oh and yaya, marco is not riding. he is still recovering from his broken bone. thats not him launching off the best trick of the day (bs 180 indy). check him standing next to the cannon! NOTE: we do NOT photoshop pics...at all. except this one.

haha. think what u want but that was actually pretty sick. a snowboarders foot is pretty wack…all day in those boots and sometimes its all wet inside and stuff…getting your feet done for once is not a bad idea.

anyways, 4 chicks and me. pedi and i heard all the gossip that happened the last couple of weeks. i love it. seriously. hahahaha

yep, thats right. i am getting a pedi :)

seriously. dude. thank u SO much for that shot!!! ahhhhhhh

my sickest shot ever and that kicker was scary big (yeah, i am a pussy. whatever)

omg - SOOOO STOKED ahhhhhhhhhhh

and thats all i could come up from my side lolli...sorry like the size of your pizza though

this time from hansi who left me his flash drive with tons of pics. hansi is the senior photographer for pleasure since day one and when i just started snowboarding i was admiring his pictures every time i bought a snow mag. that man has seen everything in the snow bizz and i am stoked he was here and i finally got the chance to meet him. anyways, some memories of the best nanshan open ever below.

and no i will not post the house party pics here…those are too hardcore. i know my butt is on here but that…omg…

our bus driver. we use him since 4 years and he is just amazing.

gian luca thinking of the line he is going to take through the park. best setup EVER. thx marco, i love u. no homo.

15 seconds of fame with 25gran USD.

olli and tobi getting wild with...i am guessing a backstreet boys song

tobi spraying. yep, we do have a pipe at nanshan too. looks amazing on this pic...haha

just got that from yaya…the boys rocking their MO at the happy niu year premiere in shanghai a month ago. slick. no wonder all the ladies got crazy when we got down there…hahahaha

most of the riders left yesterday and i think i can say: they had a pretty amazing trip this year. everything was working out just fine

the nitro crew is still staying till the 16th and today as well as tomorrow we have photo shootings in the park. lolli snapped some good ones today and i am SO STOKED! some below and the really good ones hopefully in print. SO STOKED, did i say that already? and that with a black butt. hehe
