Dubbed the “Arabic Chin” ramp, the skateable structure spells the arabic word for art: “Tashkeel”, which is also the name of the host venue.

The varied architectural features of Dubai make it a world-class skater destination: Dubai Municipality even creates special asphalt areas for skaters and a 16-year-old halfpipe installed in Al Mamzar Park at the request of local skaters appeared in the skating magazine Thrasher’s list of “Places to Skate Before You Die”.

Several skateparks already exist in the city but skaters are constantly looking for new challenges and Arabic Interpreted presents the unique format of a world-class ramp with an intrinsically Arab soul. [...]

Story so far: Charz is back in New Kroy City after a one month vacation trip with his parents. He reunites with Fishuaii and Keyode for an afternoon session where they team up with a local crew “kids with bombs” to roll around the city. It’s all fun and games…

A tribute to the lifestyle of blading (aggressive inline). The story follows the adventures of an up-and-coming blader named Charz.

I’m sure a lot of skaters played Jet Set Radio (Gamespot Review). This game was released for Sega Dreamcast in 2000, got a sequel called ‘Jet Set Radio Future’ released for Xbox in 2002 and a wierd port to Gameboy Advance.

In 2006, a game studio proposed a Wii version of Jet Set Radio, Sega refused it.

A topic asking Sega to make a new one made the frontpage of Reddit this week.

I’m not sure that Sega will release a new version of the game, but it’s not impossible that you will soon be able to play the Dreamcast version on your PC & Xbox: Sega released Dreamcast Collection featuring Crazy Taxi, Sega Bass Fishing, Sonic Adventure DX & Space Channel 5 (link on Steam) ; Jet Set Radio might be next.

You were a fan of Jet Set Radio’s Soundtrack (by Hideki Naganuma & various artists)? I got good news for you, Redditors posted 3 compilations & mixes of Jet Set Radio ; you can download them here: 01, 02, 03 ; groovy!

Videos: Dreamcast Story Intro, Xbox tv commercial, Dreamcast japanese tv commercial, 403 combos.

A lot of people regret their tattoos, but this is one that I definitely do not. Myself and 3 other rollerblading friends have it on our wrists. It is a life long memory of a sport that has brought thousands of kids, from around the world, together.
