The Red Bull Team Skates Ordos – The Ghost City

It’s no surprise that China is a big country, not much more of one to think that Chinese cities develop to accommodate the population. When development though, exceeds the growth of populace – therein lies an interesting conundrum. Such is the story of Ordos in Inner Mongolia: built to accommodate millions, yet only hosting a population in the tens of thousands. The Red Bull European skate team opportunistically ventured into the wealthy, yet sometimes eerily desolate city – frequently nicknamed “The Ghost City” – to check out the pristine, untouched spots of the locale. Shredders such as Thaynan Costa, Daniel Pannemann, and Alex Mizurov ran amuck through Ordos City’s abundance of smooth, futuristic spots. Enjoy the video above, then read more about Ordos’ burgeoning population here.
