It's Saturday now and we're starting the City Jam Am series. The beer in Shanghai is pretty low in alcohol content compared to the states, so leave it up to DJ Wade to solve that problem. Zitzer supplies the mixer, an un-carbonated RedBull.
Here are the winners from the City Jam Am Finals: Mi Xiao Jun for first, Wang Di for second, and Wang Huai Hsuan for third.
The next day after the City Jam Am contest, we hit the streets to get a little skating and filming in for SPoT Life. Here's Johnny Tang with a nollie back heel which turned in to a nice line later that day.
After sweating our asses off, we hit the sketchy street markets for some shopping. This dude right here was slangin' some fresh coconut water.
We made it back to the contest to start the Pro division. Wang Di took 2nd the day before in the Am division and also snuck a smith grind in before the Pros took over.
Jonny Tang filmed a few tricks for SPoT Life, chauffeured us around town and then skated the Pro division all in one day. He really is a jack of all trades and a master of all of them.
The Pro division is underway and Lu Hung Chen aka Adde is starting things off with a stylish backside tailslide on the bump to ledge.
