man, i'm pumped! maybe "super-pumped" even!
that asphalt looks almost as shiny and slick as the pavement in las vegas during summer!
only bummer is that the website, www.saudiracingsandals.com doesn't work.

thanks a lot!
get a guy all excited, then crush his dreams!
that's just cruel.

You think that is real Brad? I saw the street also, and it does not look possible, but they are doing it.

Sorry I ruined your day Brad.

Pretty soon you can use all of Dubai as a paintball MOUT training area.
Dubai could make a great set for a post-apacolipse sci-fi movie

I have never been to Dubai, I am still here in Riyadh. We were going to go down town today and do some shopping and see the sights. You know check out chop chop square, and look at some T&A (toes and ankles)

It rained though and apparently the folks here drive worse in the rain than the people in San Diego so we just stayed here. Maybe tomorrow.

I've been to both... Dubai's preferable to Riyadh in many, many ways. Although, the driving/traffic isn't one of those ways. I was in Jizan (southeast corner) for several months... one of those places that is sometimes Saudi, sometimes Yemen. Regardless, the way they drive I wouldn't think to get out of my car on the highway while stopped, let alone at speed on roller skates!
