The adventures of Stale Sandbech continue, this time at the Banana Open in Zhangjiakou, in North China’s Hebei Province. After checking out his accomodations, including his mini racecar bed, Stale reinitiates the importance of stretching before a big day (or any day on the mountain), does some practice runs on the mountain, then goes right into competition.

Watch the video above and see how Stale, Mark McMorris, Torgeir Bergrem, and Sebbe De Buck make each run look smooth during qualifiers and then enjoy some of China’s culture.
