Beijing, China Downhill/Carving enthusiasts

[adrenalinejunkie]

Me and my friends occasionally roam around the city and the nearby hills like the Great Wall area to do downhill and carving sessions and would be more than happy to know if there are any groups or club too doing so around the area. We would be stoked to join you guys or you guys joining us for the love of the sport!!!!

I'll be goin bak to china this coming december and will spend most of that month in Guangzhou which is nowhere near beijing but I'll also be spending around a week in the kunming area hitting the hills there if you guys wanna join.

I will be pasing through GZ via HK and Macao around 10 September. I was gonna hit Chengdu area and possibly JIUZHAGOU. If you see a foreigner riding a longboard, it just may be me. Not doing serious DH though. Want to use it for transportation and exploring. But some DH is inevitable in most of China. I am taking this board, which may look even more strange.



Kunming is a nice little town, well little by China standards. Perfect weather all year round and gateway to Dali in the North and Xieshuabana in the South. They have a nice wide bicycle lane which is used by electric scooters. You can't hear them coming!

ya my friend told me dali's perfect for longboarding. that's where i'll be headed in december. Too bad i won't be around in september. I'd have join u for a skate.

Well, too bad i cant stay through December. That is really the best time to go IMO, at least for SW China. Old town Dali has nice pavement too but it has that moutnain misty rain a lot. If you ferry across that Ear Lake you have deserted lakeside mountain roads all to yourself.

can't wait to go!!! if it rains... slide sesh!

[adrenalinejunkie]

dang!! i got no plans for this december break yet, probably join you then!!! yeah!!! i agree to what was said about the bicyle lanes used for battery operated motorcycles. we just have to watch out every now and then! but its just so hard to look for one if youre so stoked rydin!

is it possible to ride the great wall or would you get in trouble?

[SpeedFiend]

This is an awesome thread. Thanks.

sorry for the confusion. Its the greatwall area, mostly on the foot of the greatwall, not on the greatwall itself, but its cool to go carving/downhilling with the greatwall on the background.

i'd love to go up there to skate with u guys but i've already got plans for my break. I'll be spending 2/3 of it skating skating malaysia and 1/3 of it in southern china. I actually don't really like beijing but if it has some wicked hills, I wouldn't mind putting beijing into my future plans. Put up some vids or something of u guys riding the area

Cool. I go to China every now and then. My parents are living there right now It's not the fact that it's coming from China that made me think it's a scam. There has been quite a few on silverfish in general. If you guys happen to go down to the Guangdong area in December, hit me up and we can go for a skate.
