Beijing, China

I'm in Beijing, China for an AST invitational vert demo. Yesterday was the tourist day at the Great Wall of China and Summer Palace, I think I walked 5 miles up and down the wall and around the gardens of the palace. Pretty cool to see that kind of history and visit places like that from riding a bike. I'm out here with Bestwick, McCoy, Walker, McCann & Robinson to do the BMX Vert demo to hopefully let the AST expand to the foreign market with their events. So far we've only had one practice session and the ramp feels pretty good, it's the usual Dew Tour ramp and got shipped out here for this event. I think I'm going with the McCoy's to the Forbidden City tomorrow after our morning session, more photos and walking around crazy new locations. Our practice was scheduled with a mild 2000 people for the first day, it'll be interesting to see the turn out this weekend for the skate comp and our demo.
