Dubai Sessions - Tashkeel & Canopi Bowl

Canopi & Tashkeel liegen direkt nebeneinander und sind auf jeden Fall der Mainspot wenn es um Transitionskaten in Dubai geht. Die folgenden Bilder sind aus zwei Sessions im Januar mit den Locals Jan Hoffmann, Hayden Birch, Max Velmitski, Emil Kjeldsen und Max Coterill.

Der Bowl vorne heißt Canopi und die Rampe im Hintergrund...

...nennt sich Tashkeel (ausgesprochen: Taschkiel). Im Profil betrachtet ergibt die Rampe sogar den arabischen Schriftzug des Wortes "Tashkeel", welches Kunst bedeutet.

Since we are covering English speaking dudes in this article all of the following will be in English. If you don't like that, well, you should fly out to Dubai and taste some camel dong!

Hayden Birch flying a steezy-ass frontside aerial. Everybody loves airs!

You don't need to grab airs to do airs - Emil Kjeldsen popping into a nice frontside ollie!

Max Coterill flying over the hip frontside wise... He even boned the shit out of some other tries, but the make was "just" this unboned version. I'd be happy with that!

Number one skateboard picture crime: Buttshot - OK, I'll confess to that! Number two skateboard picture crime: Not showing the face - I plead to be not guilty! Connor Rycroft - backside floater over the hip.

Max Velmitsky locks into a nice Back-D!

OK, here we go! Jan Hoffmann starting a footplant riot: Texasplant!

There's a thin line between a fastplant to fakie and a sweeper to fakie!

Same with the backside version of this trick!

Frontside sweeper - No doubt about that!

To jump back in on a backside boneless is scary as fuck even on small transitions. So I say Jan is showing off here!

WTF! What is this and where is the promised footplant? This was the last frame on the film and Jan decided to use it on a trick he just learned. What can I say? I fucked it up! Jan on the other other hand sticked his trick 1st try. Andrecht plant to backside boneless. This kid is just too good!
