really?

I woke up at 6 this morning and already 100 degrees here. I didn't even bother packing my board because I thought there was nothing to skate whatsoever.

Keywords: Dubai, skateboarding, sport, extreme

Hayya! Springs Skatepark (Dubai)
Roll on out to the 'burbs' for a taste of the opulent 'skatebrat' lifestyle. Grinding along curved ledges under desert palms, take in the futuristic cityscape of Dubai while poppin' airs off the half-pipe. Afterwards, dip a sweaty toe in the pool and soak your aching bones in the Jacuzzi, smoothie in hand - All for 15 Dirham.

Mamzar Bowl (Dubai)
From the deck of this monster blue bowl on the shores of the Persian Gulf, soak-up the emerald spaces of Al Mamzar Beach Park. With the white sand towards the sea, the green desert grass in-between and the azure transitions under your urethane, you're headed for a Dubai high. Lest you forget you're in the Middle East, Wednesday is for ladies only.

Al Nasr Cinema Handrail (Dubai)
Hit the rail where hometown skate heroes like Colm Noonan, Chef Spanky and Mark Issa bust out the big guns between X-Game runs. Ollie the seven stairs and slide the handrail featured as spot number one in the Dubai Desert Extreme Skateboarding Championships.

Sparks Gap Diera (Dubai)
With a fat gap for ollie and flip-trick pleasure, a corner and three-stair marble ledges for grinding delights, this spot - not far from Dubai Festival City - is a good place to sample the street fare Dubai has to offer while meeting up with in-the know locals.

Diera Fountain (Dubai)
Just a five minute skate away from Sparks you'll find a palatial fountain where skate inspiration springs eternal. The marbled flat ground, hefty manual pads, chunky set of three stairs and ledges for all skills levels will have you styling and smiling.
