\u201cThe park was really successful last year, and we\u2019re stoked to be working with Burton to continue this fun project,\u201d comments Steve Zdarsky, Mellow Parks CEO. \u201cChina in general had a great winter snowboard season, with more and more locals getting into the sport.

The Burton Qiaobo Mellow Park officially opened for the summer 2009 season today with the Great Burton Qiaobo Mellow Park Summer 2009 Grand Opening. One ofChina\u2019s most famous snowboarders & Burton pro rider Wang Lei was on hand to commemorate the re-launch, pulling 7\u2019s, 5\u2019s and rodeo combos all over the show – obviously stoked to be shredding again! \u201cIt\u2019s great to see so many people out here enjoying the park \u2013 the kickers are great, the snow is nice and everyone is ripping it!\u201d He was right about that, as both China\u2019s amateur and professional riders proceeded to demonstrate just what this park is made for over a one-hour jam session. Rail ninja Li Jie (Jay) was throwing down all sorts of steezy switch-ups and combos on the boxes, while Hewei was spinning and flipping off almost everything. Other well-known locals X-fox, Zhang Wei, Xiao William, Perry and Fan Lei were also ripping it up, pleasing both the crowd and themselves alike!<\/p>\n

This summer the park will play host to a number of events including the Burton King of the Park competition and the Mellowparks.cn Great Grab Off! Not only that, but it\u2019s frequently maintained and shreddable every single day! The park is located just outside Beijing, conveniently accessible by bus.
