Saturday 16th of February, Crystal Entertainment organized his last event of the winter season with the 2nd Shijinglong Crystal all-round snowboard contest. As last year, Crystal organized this contest in order to show to the best snowboarder is the one who is able to ride every kind of stuffs. That’s why we set up a Boardercross in the morning and a Freestyle contest in the afternoon and then ad the results to get an overall classification.
Many riders came to enter the contest and we were really pleased to see Wanglei riding the snowpark and showing that he is still the best Chinese rider. Leslie, from France, Liam, from Switzerland and Miguel Scoffield, who just escaped from a Spanish jail, were there to represent Europe.
Concerning women, Leslie won the Boardercross and the Freestyle contest, thanks to nice 50-50 on the box, and so took the first place of the all round contest. During the men Boardercross, Zhang Wei showed us that there is not only one good rider in China by crossing the final line just in front of Wanglei. But Wang Lei did not get any pressure when he rode the kickers and boxes, and landed really sweet runs with among other nice BS 540 nose grab, huge backflips on the big air and smooth FS 270 in 270 out on the box. As Zhang Wei took the second place during the freestyle contest we got a tie for the first place of the overall contest. Liam took a lot of risks, riding the big kicker and making the show, and therefore got the 3rd place even if he got the same points as Miguel…
Crystal team would like to thanks everybody who helped us to make this event successful:
Shijinglong staff, Raymond and Nivit Crew, Smith staff, Mike (Best photographer in Beijng), Tuan @ Demokratic, BJPZ and all the riders…
