As we pulled up to Tsinghua University in Beijing the college looked more like bustling city than a college. Driving through the enormous campus we came across banks, grocery stores, clothing stores, and of course mass amounts of college girls. Franky informed me that this University was the most prestigious university in all of China and that only the best students are accepted to further their education here. He made the comparison to Harvard in the United States. I was impressed to say the least but in the back of my head I was imagining the consequences of skating Harvard which might possibly lead to an arrest or heavy fines.
Unless you live in Southern California weather is a factor that always put a damper on skating, with that being said today Beijing was hit with heavy winds and rain. Due to the fact that we went to Woodward Beijing the day before nobody was thrilled on the idea of making the long drive two days in a row. We decided that today would be a perfect time to explore the city and do some shopping.
After having a full day of skating yesterday it felt good to get a few extra hours of sleep especially because I knew today we were going to Woodward Beijing, the newest member to the Woodward family. Growing up I never had the chance to visit Woodward, it wasn't until much later in my pro career that I went to Woodward West for the first time. That being said, this morning when I woke up I had the kid on Christmas morning attitude and after doing a bit of exploring around my hotel and grabbing coffee, Franky Zhang picked me up at 12pm. Beijing is huge and even though I'm staying in Beijing we still had to drive two hours to get to Woodward Beijing.
My third day in China started off bright and early. At 8am the phone rang and I heard Frankys voice telling me, "Brian I'm in the lobby, time to go get pants". I did need new pants due to ripping a pair the previous day but I was a little confused by the time that he had chose to go shopping, but hey, when in Beijing!

This is the full coverage of the Mettle Games 2011 inline skate category held at the East Coast Extreme Park in Singapore. Filmed in three days from Friday 9th December to Sunday 11th December. The fiirst day was horrible due to the rain and everybody had to wait it out until the announcement was made that the qualifying rounds for inline got cancelled and everybody was automatically qualified. The second and the third day respectively were quite good. The nice and sunny weather made sure it was possible for all the skaters to ride their lines perfectly.
