The event, the first of its kind, attracted many skateboarders and longboarders who had a blast, racing almost a one kilometre distance, down three parking levels while simultaneously handling tight corners and speedy opponents at the massive car park of the four star hotel in Dubai. Star attraction was provided to the event by the presence of top international skaters from Darkstar, Zero, Almost and Enjoi.

The demonstrations at the event as well as the refreshments were enjoyed by all those who were present. The event saw a massive prize fund of Dhs10,000 for winners across the junior and senior categories, courtesy of Dubai Desert Extreme Action Sports.

The event was followed by an after-party at Level 8 on The Dek of Media One Hotel. A DJ, graffiti artist and giveaways were among the attractions lined up by RAGE for the Mini Ramp at the hotel car park to enliven the event.

The Media One Hotel is one of the most popular business hotels in Dubai, located in the heart of the Emirates’ business district. It’s the ideal setting for those who want to combine business with pleasure, in a location which is not too far from the centre of things.
