Here are media of the X-Games Dubai 2006 that took place in United Arab Emirates on the 1st to 3rd of december 2006 (flyer). 2 days of the comp were cancelled due to the rain.
Hurricane winds day in Dubai, forcing organisers to cancel the programme for the day. There was practically a riot by the bloodthirsty fans of the mega-extreme event in Africa’s east coast. However, the panic abated, and the event took place in front of a capacity 14 000 people last night! More
You can check more photos here. Thanks to Alan K. for the photos and the vert video.

Damn that streetcourse looks slick, although I kinda miss the big ledges and rails on it. But I’m sure you can rip through it with mach3.
