About
An open street contest in the skatepark and spots at Aranya Resort, located in the northern Chinese city of Qinhuangdao, three hours east of Beijing. The city of Qinhuangdao was the venue for the first appearance of international skaters in China in the mid-1990s, featuring Steve Caballero and Mike V, and others. The Aranya community houses thousands of visitors in a peaceful town with hotels, homes, and residences, across five-square-kilometers. The Contest is open to invites from APAC’s finest skaters, alongside contests for some of China’s best up-and-coming rookies.
