As the contest has evolved and grew the following years, it earned global recognition in 2007 as a 3Star stop on the World Snowboard Tour. The Nanshan Open has \u00a1\u00aeleveled up\u00a1\u00af since then to International Level status, and is now one of the largest slopestyle competition in Asia on the World Snowboarding Tour.\u00a0<br \/>The event has hosted a who\u00a1\u00afs-who of up-and-coming riders, including numerous Olympians, Transworld\u00a1\u00afs \u00a1\u00aeRookie of the Year\u00a1\u00af Austin Smith, female superstars Hana Beaman and Leanne Pelosi, along with the Isenseven, Nitro RoadWarriors and Pirate Movie Productions film crews. Not to forget the former Air &amp; Style overall winner Marcus Kleveland of course. So many names and good shredders have visited us over the years it could fill a book.<br \/><br \/>Past winners of the event include Kaito Hamada (2017), Billtoft Ludvig (2016), Mons Roisland (2015), Mathias Weissenbacher (2014), Jeremy Thompson (2013), Juuso Laivisto (2012 and 2010), Janne Korpi (2011) Freddy Austbo (2009), Jakob Wilhelmson (2008) and Hampus Mosesson (2007), with a \u00a1\u00aeguest judge\u00a1\u00af line-up equally impressive including Travis Parker, Michi Albin, Ingemar Backman and Scotty Wittlake.<\/p>\n\n<p><em><strong>What the riders say<\/strong><\/em><br \/>The Nanshan Open in China was amazing.
