TRAVELING CIRCUS
Sponsored by LINE, the world’s top freestyle snowboarding brand, the four riders of the TC team arrived in China on January 28. The TC team is composed of young, passionate riders. Their goal in coming to China was to film episodes of LINE’s TRAVELING CIRCUS series of freestyle shorts.
This short series has already completed seven seasons, all of which are published on the official LINE brand website and YouTube.

Chongli Genting Snow Resort Chapter
On their first day at Genting, the TC team warmed up and were pleasantly surprised to find that the park was under construction. However, due to the cold weather and it being their first day of warm-up, they didn’t hit the jumps, focusing instead on rails and slope footage.
The amusing French guy Leo also brought along a fun old-man mask, paired with a Lei Feng hat—quite the unique look.

The TC team discovered an exciting kinked rail by a small river in the county that got Will extremely excited. He swore to conquer it, as they’d never seen such a “cool” rail anywhere else. The team worked with high efficiency, quickly gathering a large pile of snow from the roadside and riverbank to build a jump. Using a motorcycle borrowed fromZone Libre Ski Gearand "Rurouni Kenshin" as power, they attempted the trick repeatedly. Due to excessive wave deformation and severe energy loss, the challenge of landing the rail turned out to be greater than expected. Will tried again and again, relentlessly pursuing perfection. Eventually, he successfully hit the rail. Everyone was thrilled, popping open beers to celebrate and concluding their trip to Chongli.
Nanshan Snow Resort Chapter

Snowboarders rarely get such close access to top-tier international freestyle riders in China. As soon as the gods hit the slopes, they were surrounded by fans. They hadn’t expected so many freestyle enthusiasts in China, nor such a well-built park. The gods had a blast, showing everyone just how to ride the backside wave. In the afternoon, they designed various trick shots on the rail, dazzling everyone with their creativity.

On the morning of February 2, 2015, members of the TC team discovered an ice slide in front of the Hualian Plaza in Beijing’s Huilongguan area. On a whim, they put on a performance on the ice slide.
