The Silky Way

Shanghai’s markets, marble plazas, and crowded streets make it a great spot to kick off the journey along China's Silk Road. The skate crew take on plenty of ledges, gaps, and stairs before hitting the road.

Xi’an, China is the next stop for the Silky Way crew, who get to do a little sightseeing in addition to skate sessions. The Silk Road’s main commodity seems to be marble, with a bounty of smooth spots to go crazy on.

Ürümqi, in China, may not have any wonders of the world, but if you’re a skateboarder, the city’s pyramids are tough to beat. The Silky Way crew set to work skating its plazas, despite the cold weather.

The Silky Way journey wraps up in Kashgar, the oasis city on the border of China, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. China’s plazas turn out to be staple spots, and skater Daniel Pannemann lands the biggest backside 180 of the whole tour.
