anyway ni ada link gambar park tu lagi semasa construction : www.skatehere.com/News_Show2.asp?NewsID=423 (server dia lembab sikit nak upload gambor) News tentang perasmian park tu;  Neal Hendrix from the United States showcases his skateboarding skills at the newly-opened Jiangwan skatepark The 12,000-square-meter complex of concrete bowls, banks, hips and rails is the world's biggest skatepark and a playground for local extreme sport buffs. But 40 international X-sports gurus took center stage at the opening. They included the multi-world champion skater Yasutoko brothers, who showcased their flips and flies at the SMP Shanghai Showdown, an exhibition tournament on Thursday and yesterday. SMP is the company licensed to run the park. Skateboarding, inline skating, BMX and FMX biking, backed by live bands and motorbike stunts entertained an audience of 10,000. The 100 million yuan (US$12.35 million) park was originally intended as part of the New Jiangwan City, a residential township in the city's northeast fringe. But SMP hopes to achieve something bigger. "We will hold international extreme sports here, including the Shanghai Showdown which will stay for the next five years," said Dai Wenqing, an official with SMP. (Source: Shanghai Daily) |

More news from Shanghaiist.com ( www.shanghaiist.com/archives/sports/index.php)  Shanghai’s new skate park is REALLY big Over the past two days, Shanghaiist spent time exploring Shanghai’s New Jiangwan City SMP Skate Park. A two-day event hosted the world’s elite skateboarders, inline skaters, BMX freestyle and motocross riders (Shanghaiist is not one of the elite … yet). The SMP Gravity Games Showdown incorporated vertical ramp and street competitions — held on each day. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a press pass on Thursday, and spent half of the day convincing guards that Shanghaiist actually is an organization of professional skaters. This line worked until a Beijing Public Security Bureau official challenged us — many thanks to Dean Qi of Real One Sports for talking us out of this mess. Today proved more fruitful. We were given all-access to the event, and exclusive use of all facilities. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we brought along a pair of Roces Aggressive Skates. Also, Shanghaiist spent time talking with the X-Games’ youngest medalist and 2002 Vert Champion, Takeshi Yasutoko (aka “The Japanese Bulletâ€). We also interviewed Brazil’s top skateboarder Lincoln Ueda. We will post these interviews over the next few days. Highlights of today’s events included skating with Takeshi, witnessing the motocross jump events and watching many local spectators “strolling†inside the monstrous half pipe — that does indeed span 40 meters in length, reaching heights of 15 feet. At the day’s end, we were informed the SMP skate park will not be open to the general public until the end of November. The good news is that admission over the first year of operation will be free of charge — Shanghaiist agrees that a 50 yuan taxi ride from downtown is a sufficient investment.  Overall, we are really impressed with the aesthetics of the facility, and more importantly, the design and function of the world-class ramps, street course and magnitude of enormous bowls. Many of the athletes present shared this view and found the bowls particularly challenging. Stated Ueda: “I saw the park plans on the internet. But being here personally, you can really appreciate the facility. The deepest bowl is so big, even bigger than the standard 13-14 foot (competition) high ramps.† The real challenge will be encouraging local children to give action sports a shot. Hopefully, the park’s biggest asset (inherent bigness) will not become its telling shortcoming. At this point, it’s anybody’s guess. Shanghaiist will try to be the first to keep you updated as results and other information are announced. Unfortunately, English-based resources still remain scarce. This is the park plan for competition area...not the concreate one..the one with maroon.  |
