Shang- Low.

It was a beautiful sunny day outside, had a great breakfast, few emails, say goodnight to the family, pick up the Logo, Ron and Oscar en route and we are off to ride the park again!

Today was going to be great because me and Morgan were having alot of fun flying around the bowls and full pipe, riding the capsule and carving over the door, filmed a fun line with Will, today was just great, everything was buzzing!

After filming a how to with Will in the Peanut Bowl, I watched Morgan carve around the main bowl, it looked so much fun I could not help myself, so me and the Texan were blasting around, then Morgan wanted to shoot through the Tunnel that connects the Full pipe to the main bowl, how much fun was that just screaming down the tunnel, straight into the full pipe.

On seeing this Will wanted to film what was going on, so, after a quick set up we are ready and off again, cruising round the main bowl straight into the tunnel, I yelled out “Ghost- train” when we in the tunnel, like some silly kid on a fairground ride, coming out of the tunnel Morgan carved and I followed him, but, went to straight and when my bike turned my front wheel just went away from me and basically I belly flopped to the bottom from about 9.30-10 o clock in the full pipe.

Luckily? for me I landed on my elbows and stomach, and did not hit my face, it hurt like no crash on vert ever has, and guess what kids, stupid here did not have on arm pads and his helmet, A very big lesson learned even after all these years!

After about 30 minutes the tingling in my forearms and hands stopped, the gouge in my stomach was thrashing and my Knee was killing me!

Thank you SMP park I am over it!

So with me on the sidelines Morgan hit a couple more bangers and then we called it a day!

Or so we thought, on packing our gear up we noticed a man walk up to Will with a piece of paper and a serious conversation was going down, Yifu went over and after about 10 minutes they came back.

The owner of the Park, who, by the way, to impress his clients brought them into the park when me and Morgan were riding, suddenly wanted all of Will”s memory cards from his camera and his Passport, What!

I guess the guy wanted compensation for the footage that Will took or he wanted the memory cards erased.

Now, stop me if I am wrong, but, The Worlds Biggest Skatepark with the Worlds Lowest attendance(Thats right! there was never more than a handful of people there on all the days we rode) would want all the publicity it could get its hands on, 2 great riders attend their park, sign a ton of stuff for all their staff and friends, and put together some footage that will be shown on an amazing DVD, we all paid every day(not that we are bigtime and demand free sessions) even Will who filmed,C’mon mate give me a break, what a joke, they even sent out an English interpreter who would not speak in English to us and would not give us eye contact, this was a joke, I have been all over the world in my time and never have I run into something so stupid.

Well, after almost an hour of negotiations Will signed some Mickey Mouse contract,Will even had to write out the terms of the contract, amazing!

We left the park very frustrated and angry, it was just a crazy end to a crazy day!

When we got back we were all pretty bummed, so what better way to cheer yourself up than go back to the same all you can eat Sushi Buffet, and buy some more useless DVD”s!

Hurray!

Chingdow!
