Snowboarder hits the dunes in Arabian desert

Jun 15, 2016, 6:00 AM | Updated: 9:28 am

It’s actually possible to go “snowboarding” in the desert.

A pair of top athletes showed off their skills in the United Arab Emirates desert. Polish rally racer Kuba Przygoński drove a Dakar MINI while snowboarder Wojtek “Gniazdo” Pawlusiak shredded the dunes.

Pawlusiak jumped over a car during a parallel descent from one of the highest dunes of the Arabian Peninsula and completed a set of tricks on desert rails.

We hope the athletes’ next trip is to the Arizona desert!
