dork-trick-tips_finger-flips Thanks to photographer Lyn Yuan for filming and promising she would bail me out if I got thrown into a Beijing prison for defiling the ancient Forbidden City.

So maybe it’s a dork trick, maybe it

FLY Mondays #3…The Notorious Be-i-Jing

Jeremy Hu rolling at one of Beijing’s many dope ledge spots. While I was in China I started referring to Beijing as the Notorious Be-i-Jing. If that ever catches on, I will die a happy man. Spread the word. Jeremy-Notorious-Be-i-Jing If you’re in Beijing, you might also want to check out this restaurant for these fine dishes. I especially recommend the Mixed Seafood Iraq Government Office Surface

David Chu at the Science and Technology park. It’s is conveniently located above a giant market that has 2 skateshops located inside; Struggle and E Free.
