• First of its kind attraction in Asia, where visitors can accomplish the trifecta of snowboarding, surfing, and skating under one roof in a city, as part of plans to strengthen Orchard Road’s position as a lifestyle destination
• This foray is fuelled by the rapidly increasing interest from local and international customers who are eager to try their hand at these sports
• Trifecta seeks to cultivate a deeper understanding among visitors about the need to preserve nature through snowboarding and surfing, sports that are rooted in natural elements

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 6 April 2022 – Skiing, snowboarding, and surfing in sunny Singapore will soon be possible, as what was once a pipe dream looks set to turn into a reality. Trifecta by The Ride Side will be Asia’s first snow, surf, and skate attraction when it opens in 2023. At Trifecta, visitors will be able to accomplish the hallowed trifecta of snowboarding, surfing and skating in one day – all under one roof in the heart of the city for the first time.

Conceptualised and developed by Singapore-based adventure sports company The Ride Side, Trifecta will provide an inviting and open public space that encourages discoverability and interactions among visitors. The attraction, which covers 49,611 square feet, will further diversify Orchard Road’s offerings and experiences beyond retail.

With increasing interest from local and international customers who are eager to try their hand at these sports, Trifecta will offer a thrilling new experience for travellers to reimagine Singapore as borders reopen.

Not only will Trifecta eliminate the need to travel from the mountains to skating arenas to the seas within a day, it also makes spectatorship for these sports possible within its snow, skate, and surf arenas, bringing the thrill of action sports entertainment to Singapore, and adding vibrancy to Orchard Road.

The arenas at Trifecta are inspired by the world’s best in each category – bringing the powdery snow of Japan, the swelling waves of Bali, and the unparalleled skate bowls of California directly to the city.

The slopes in the snow arena are powered by the first virtual reality (VR) ski simulator in Asia, with best-in-class speed simulation and directional movements to mimic the uneven terrain of a natural mountain. The surf arena will incorporate the world’s leading technology in deep water wave pool for an endless surf experience, with water columns of 1.5m, the deepest in Singapore. The skate arena will be home to the world’s first hybrid skate bowl designed for skateboarding and surfskating, making it the first skate bowl in Somerset, and the first surfskate circuit in Singapore.

Along with the snow, skate, and surf arenas, the attraction will be rounded out with unique F&B concepts and retail stores that introduce the complete trifecta lifestyle to Singaporeans.

Rising interest in Singapore and beyond

“Our vision for Trifecta by The Ride Side was a simple one – we wanted to bring the mountains and the waves to the urban centre of Singapore. We are thrilled to share our passion for snowboarding, skiing, surfing, and skating with everyone, and we hope that by challenging them with new experiences, we will also be able to provide them with a new avenue for self-expression,” said Daphne Goh, co-founder of The Ride Side.

For younger audiences, the interest in action sports was first ignited by the induction of surfing, snowboarding, skiing, and skateboarding into global sporting events. This milestone achievement provided a global platform to showcase the level of professional athleticism and skill demanded by these sports, inspiring audiences the world over.

Interest for both spectatorship and participation has reached an all-time high in recent years. Since The Ride Side started in 2015, they have seen rapidly rising interest among Singaporeans and international customers, with their community growing to over 10,000 members.

Open and interactive space to engage the youth

Trifecta seeks to cultivate a deeper understanding among youths about the need to preserve nature through snowboarding and surfing, sports that are rooted in natural elements.

Trifecta will launch unique eco education programmes, which are designed to cater to the interests of the youth, including educational tours on sustainable spatial design of the attraction, retail partners that have championed conscious production and consumption practices, and upcycling and recycling programmes to extend the usage of sports equipment.

To encourage youths to immerse themselves in these action sports and experience the trifecta lifestyle, youths will also be able to enjoy a Youth Pass, where participants under 21 years old will be able to purchase discounted one-day tickets and access passes.

An Athlete Pass will also be introduced, providing discounts for national athletes and encouraging them to use Trifecta as a training ground, going beyond entertainment to provide extended support to relevant sports organisations and partners.

Given its prime location in the Orchard area, Trifecta is committed to introducing a new Orchard Explore programme, with the aim of creating a youthful and collaborative spirit for businesses in Orchard Road. They will be collaborating with local businesses to make Orchard Road the one-stop holiday destination for their visitors, and plans include partnerships with hotels along Orchard Road, creating synergies with Somerset and Orchard Road spaces, and discount passes for local youth-led businesses along Orchard Road.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 6 April 2022 – TRON founder Justin Sun has recently purchased the complete set of the crypto artworks “Twelve Digital Zodiac Heads” at the Twelve Digital Zodiac Heads Special Auction hosted by Metapoly XM, a brand under Poly Auction (Xiamen).

The “Twelve Digital Zodiac Heads” is the one and only NFT art collection that draws inspiration from China’s Zodiac Heads, which was purchased on March 31 at a hammer price of around ¥9,832,500. Shortly after the auction, Justin Sun stated to the public that he would donate this collection in the future for a broader audience to enjoy. It is also believed that one of the animal heads in this collection will soon be listed on APENFT Marketplace for auction and introduced as rare, special-breed horses into WIN NFT HORSE, a horse racing game co-launched by TRON, the APENFT Foundation, and WINKLink.

The twelve zodiac animals are an epitome of Chinese folk culture and the unique philosophy of the Chinese nation. According to traditional Chinese culture, every newborn is assigned an auspicious animal based on their birth year. These animals are unchangeable marks that follow each Chinese throughout their life. They serve as a bond to maintain the national feelings and the Chinese culture. And of all the physical embodiment of these symbols, the Twelve Old Summer Palace bronze heads are the most precious.

Gathering the twelve bronze heads in the metaverse marks another major endeavor made by digital technology, represented by blockchain, in the cultural and art sphere. In the context of social informatization and digitization, digital propagation and protection of traditional culture will embrace wider applications in order to reproduce time-honored artworks in the digital world and diversify people’s experience in art appreciation.

As a trailblazer in digital technology, Justin Sun also has serious clout in the realm of top-notch art collections. Through clinching a myriad of artworks created both by art masters and emerging digital artists on major trading platforms, Justin has managed to build an empire incorporating art, investment, finance, and more. His collections include works by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Giacometti, Beeple, and Pak, the latter two being the two most valuable crypto artists worldwide. In addition, Justin Sun has donated a number of well-known works, including Le Nez and Femme nue couchée au collier(Marie-Thérèse), to organizations such as the APENFT Foundation to support the development of digital art.

APENFT is backed by the underlying technology of top-notch blockchains TRON with support from the world’s largest distributed storage system Bittorrent File System (BTFS), dedicated to promoting the creator economy and fostering the integration of finance, culture and art in Metaverse. Its APENFT Marketplace, based on the TRON, will also be launched shortly.
