Red Bull in Dubai, Day 6.
Stirring Up The Soup

Anybody that's ever gone on tour knows there's always some kind of catch phrase that just sticks. Then when you come home and say it, no one knows what the hell you're talking about. Well there's 2 catch phrase's on this trip that Hoops has come up with:

1. Hot Soup or Haute Soup all depending on the way you use it.
2. The Manther: Part man. Part panther. (Don't ask)

Just realize that Soup is being served everyday in Dubai.

In order to get to the old market of Dubai we had to take these boats called Abra's across Dubai Creek.

Some how David Loy convinced this guy into letting him drive his Abra across the Dubai Creek, and within 5 minutes he nearly sank his battleship.

The rad thing about Dubai is the locals have no idea what skateboarding is. Which means you never get kicked out. As a matter a fact 9 times out of 10 they're willing to do what ever it takes to help you. Figgy and David Loy hanging with the locals between shots.

So after 2 accidents we finally found our first driver, Kaleal. This guy knows everyone in Dubai, and if we need anything he'll do what ever it takes to seal the deal. Thanks Kaleal; you're the man.

Quick dirt nap.

Mapstone wears these things so much he has a permanent flip flop farmer's tan on his feet.

This is a perfect example of one of those spots that if it were in the States you would get the boot in second. Here in Dubai, Sheckler and Figgy skated this spot for hours with security watching.

The raddest thing about digital camera's is the instant gratification. Sheckler and Figgy put the hammers down.

Sheckler's world wide status.

These kids just don't stop. After at least 8 hours of skating they still find the energy to sign autographs at the Mall of Emirates.

This went on for almost 2 hours.

Then we went to...

The Mall of Emirates has a indoor mountain covered in fresh Pow Pow 365 days a year, with working lifts. After a couple of hours of shreddin' the snow, you can walk 15 feet and buy a DKNY new suit with some white loafers.
