Gift Skateboards and Nike SB: All Wrapped Up

All Wrapped Up ghetto quality version

The FIRST full length skateboard video out of China!~ It just got premiered on December 25th, 2009….so have a look at this bootleg and go and buy it as soon as you can find it in North America. You’ll definitely want to see the Johnny Tang (from Toronto) and Johnnie Tang (from Hong Kong) parts. Great job by Tommy Zhao with the filming and editing, check out his blog, Zhaopower.

“Your going to jail, bitch!” The Johnny Tang interview

Johnny-Tang-interview

Originally from Toronto, Johnny relocated to China about 5 years ago. He’s the Nike SB China team manager. Unlike many fat and old TM’s, Johnny still rips and rides for FLY skateshop, Gift skateboards, Nike Sha-Bi and Cart wheels. Johnny’s greatly missed in Toronto, but you can see why he doesn’t plan on leaving Shanghai any time soon, 70 cent 1.5L beers aside.

Nike SB is prounounced  “Nike Sha-Bi” in China, which apparently means “Nike Pussy” (not as in cat..)*

At least that’s what Lyn told me. Can anyone confirm this one? Email me.

*UPDATE* Just got an email from Allie in Hangzhou, China. Turns out sha-bi means “stupid twat”. Excellent.
