Even though the skateboarders are practicing, they do it in spectacular style

In a bold fusion of skateboarding and the Dubai skyline, athletes, including Ale Mazzarra (19, Italy), Yndiara Asp (26, Brazil), Alex Sorgente (26, USA), Sakura Yosozumi (21, Japan), Vincent Matheron (25, France), CJ Collins (20, USA), and Danny Leon (29, Spain), warmed up for the qualifying event on a ramp perched atop the 245-metre-high Palm Tower to Skate The View.

The Gathering

The installation brought the athletes together for one last run out before the World Skateboarding Tour Park event at Dubai Harbour, running from Monday, 26 February 2024 until Sunday, 3 March 2024. Close to 200 participants will compete for crucial qualifying points on the road to Paris.

The World Skateboarding Tour Street competition will take place at the same location from 3 to 10 March 2024. Now, we know that the skaters here are simply practicing, but they are doing so in the most stylish way possible and pulling out all the stops as well with the stunts they are pulling off.

A Surprise Addition
For the athletes who had the chance to Skate The View by Nakheel, the ramp was a welcome surprise and brought some light relief from the focus of competition as they performed tricks against the stunning backdrop of a Dubai sunset, before counting down to the start of the qualifiers.

Towering at 245 meters above sea level, The View at The Palm offers an unparalleled perspective of Dubai’s breathtaking skyline and the Arabian Gulf. This iconic vantage point not only provides a mesmerising backdrop for events like the World Skateboarding Tour but also serves as a testament to Nakheel’s commitment to creating innovative spaces that blend entertainment, culture, and architectural marvels.

Breaking Records

The 360-observation deck has hosted award-winning projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible, underscoring The View’s status as a destination for record-breaking performances that set Dubai apart as a world-famous destination.
