Now a staple in any up-and-coming contest rider’s resume, the Red Bull Nanshan Open’s twelfth year is all about continuing what it does best. After last year’s successful introduction of a Womens division, 2014 sees the World Snowboard Tour 5 Star Event extend this field from 5 to 12 riders and their prize pool boosted to $25,000! Not to be forgotten, the Men’s division will be the largest yet with $50,000 up for grabs. Given the ever-increasing fanbase snowboarding enjoys in China and the recent addition of slopestyle to the Winter Olympics, all eyes near and far will be on this classic event. It all goes down this January 10th and 11th at the Nanshan Mellow Park just outside of Beijing, China.
Preceding the main competition is the 2 Star 12th Red Bull Nanshan Open National Qualifier on January 4th. The largest ‘local’ event of the year, the qualifier offers local riders their opportunity to get World Snowboard Tour points on the board. With the top riders progressing through to the 5 Star main event, it also offers riders the chance to compete alongside the international pros for even more points and prize money – an honor met with both excitement and nervousness!
