Red Bull In Dubai, Days 4 & 5

Red Bull In Dubai, Days 4 & 5.

Haute Manther Soup is served.

So the last couple of days have been straight skateboarding from dusk till dawn. These guys have been killing it. We left yesterday for Abu Dhabi, its a city that's a little over 2 hours south of Dubai. We found the spot where Appleyard had his Thunder ad, of course everyone got something.

After skating that spot we had a feed at Chilli's, worst place ever!! By the way I'm a firm believer in the "When in Rome do as the Romans do" theory. I hate going to a another country and eating at some American chain restaurant. Especially something like Chilli's. Honestly, after hearing how bad every one's stomach hurt today, I think we all agreed to eat healthy the rest of the trip.

So on the way back to Dubai our 2nd driver managed to hit a Chrysler 300 while changing lanes. Which doesn't surprise me, this guy was quite possibly the worst driver on God's green earth. How this guy got a job as a driver is beyond me. Honestly, I think Dubai has some of the worst drivers on the planet. Don't get me wrong the people here are extremely friendly and go out of their way to help you, but there's been numerous times where I was in fear of my life, and/or about a dozen pedestrians.

Anyway Sheckler took it easy today, after battling with a 11 stair hubba last night, and decided to just kick it at the hotel and relax his legs.

Today was amazing!! From 11AM till 4PM is prayer time, so that means no traffic,no security guards, basically no one to kick you out of spots. It was a great day, Everyone got a few things. MVP goes to David Loy. Gnar Gnar.

Remember the Thunder ad with Mark Appleyard doing a FS KF off this?...

...well Ryan Sheckler did and he knew exactly what he wanted to do here.

Mike 'Hoops' Adalpe is 100% Comedy!! He's had me in tears more than once because I was laughing so hard.

Figgy goes for the typical head out the van window photo, only this one's in Abu Dhabi.

I truly believe this guy had lead bricks tied to his feet. Oh well he's FIRED! Driver #3 where you at?

Andrew Mapstone (a.k.a. Patrick Bateman) puts his flip flops aside and gets his crailslide on.

Alex lives here but he's from Russia, and apparently he's put down 25 shots of Tequila, he also knows where all the hot spots are.

Figgy, you think you could 5-0 this for my daily updates? Crappy photo of a legit BS 5-0, I seriously need to get a legit camera.

Howard Stern and Jeff Spicoli.

Sleeping on an amazing skate spot.

David Loy contemplating if this is feasible.

I got to hand it to DJ David Loy, this took HUGE Cajones! MVP

You would think that perfect granite ledges wouldn't need wax but, it took just about all the wax I had for Figgy to handle business.

Hoops, you got nothin on DJ David Loy. Everybody wants to be a DJ...
