The next skateboarding prodigy will be from China. With the worlds largest population, at roughly 1,325,639,982 people, China has the odds in their favor. Remember that circus acrobat guy from Ocean's Eleven? Imagine him on a vert ramp. Anyone see the opening ceremonies from the Beijing Olympics? Imagine that level of discipline and practice applied to skateboarding. If the chinese government can make us a Yao Ming, why not make us a combination of shaun white/tony hawk/kelly slater? The only thing holding back a potential Chinese Skateboarding Domination is the fact that nobody in China skates... Well, until now. Woodward is almost finished with a $4 million dollar indoor park in Beijing. As with everything else ive seen and heard about Beijing, this thing is pretty dang impressive. Theres a variety of vert, and a ridiculous pool being finished right now. If this park can generate a solid skate scene, we could be seeing some serious kung fu flavor in the world of skateboarding very soon. Check the pictures, courtesy of KickerClub.
