Storyline: 'Rent to Ride' opens new way for outdoor sports lovers in China [Voice_over] At the Hebei Baoding Extreme Park in northern China, a different business model is helping budding young skaters and bike enthusiasts develop their skills. The park offers top-brand rentable gear- including helmets, pads, bikes and boards, allowing amateurs access to professional grade equipment. [Sound_bite] Wang Yuanyuan, mother: "For protective gear like helmets, high-quality ones can cost up to 280 U.S.dollars, which is quite expensive. Renting allows my child to try out multiple sports." [Voice_over] The park's pump track-named for the movement you make to flow around the loop without pedaling - is filled with riders of all ages. And skaters. Some say practicing in a controlled environment, on rented gear, saves their own boards from costly nicks and scrapes. [Sound_bite] Zhang Yaning, skateboarding enthusiast: "For example, when we go to professional venues or practice some dangerous moves, we choose to rent a set, because it's more cost-effective for us."
