Skater and filmaker Patrik Wallner has dared to push the boundaries not only in terms of skate, but also our perception of skating. In his latest video “The Edge of Arabia” He’s enlisted the help of Walker Ryan, Michael Mackrodt, Tobias Ulbrich and a few other street wizards. The group of ragtag skaters took their shred mentality and unleashed it upon the Middle East .
Finding themselves in Yemen, Oman, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon the gnarly band of brothers took the opportunity to not only throw down an assortment of sweet tricks but also shed light on the fact that there are people with bigger issues to worry about than a few skaters. Take a peek above and get ready for a somewhat juxtaposed view of the world, one seen not only through the eyes of a skater but a citizen of this pale blue dot that we call home.
This is more than a skate video. This is a risky rendezvous into an unexplored pocket of the skateboarding universe, The Arabian Peninsula.
