The new issue of "Wild Question" found Nie Yao, a new resident of Guangzhou, who is known to have opened a landing restaurant on the Pearl River, the third hometown of skateboarders. With the following interview, let's take a look at Nie Yao's skateboarding life and landing story.
But before that, what is the "Wild Question"?
Wild Question
"Wild Question" is a personal skateboarding column by Guangzhou veteran skater Li Xiang (nicknamed Savage), who has been involved in skateboarding since 1997.
Around 2000, CSN Dickid, the godfather of street culture in Guangzhou, began using the VX2000 to shoot skateboard videos for a group of skaters such as Savages. With the help of his words: "Unlike most people who can record skateboarding with their mobile phones now, so the early skateboarding clips were very precious to us." And this memory also left a deep impression on the savages.
Due to the injury to the skateboard, the time for the Savage skateboarding gradually decreased. So 8 years ago, he also bought a camera and began to shoot the skateboarders around him, wanting more people to know the story of skateboarding and skateboarders.
Interview with Nie Yao
Why Guangzhou? Why open a bar?
Nie Yao: I came here a long time ago to shoot skateboarding videos, and I found that there are a lot of good terrain and the weather is also suitable for skateboarding. The more times I came after that, the more I met a lot of friends who liked skateboarding and drinking beer.
But we soon found out that it is not so easy to always drink some good beer, and everyone wants to make a gathering point so that their favorite friends can always drink a variety of beers.
Why is the bar called "landing", and how many times a week do you log in on average?
Nie Yao: Cantonese probably means "to six o'clock" - drink until six o'clock in the morning, but in fact, I often run away hahahahaha.
When was the last time I went back to Beijing? As a pure northern skater, what do you think of the south?
Nie Yao: I went back for two weeks on May Day last year, and I remember that I had drunk it several times before twelve o'clock.
Skateboarding will be faster, because it basically takes a little time to go to a terrain; guangzhou side is more relaxed than the rhythm, and the time will feel slower. In winter, the southern climate makes the foot feel still very good, this side of the young skaters, playing the street more, the technology is relatively strong.

In the process of recovering from injuries, what changes in mentality?
Nie Yao: For a while, I didn't want to skateboard, and the whole person was relatively depressed. After my mentality recovered a little, I returned to Beijing from Kunming, but I didn't expect to get some recognition because of the fall, which gave me the confidence to continue to slide.
How does surfing feel, and should it complement skateboarding?
Nie Yao: The moment I caught the wave for the first time, it felt really good! It's like succeeding in a skateboarding action! Compared with skateboarding, I feel that surfing exercises the core ability of the body, and if you surf often, your body will be healthier, and you will consume more calories in the sea, which is of great help to skaters with beer belly.
