Video: Daredevils take over Dubai landmarks

Dubai - High-flying in a city steeped in the high life

Daredevils have popped up around Dubai and more often than not, they're always on the wrong side of the law. Dubai authorities have been emphasising that stunts are not allowed without proper documentation and permission. With permission however, such feats become popular and show a side of Dubai that is way out of the ordinary.
That is certainly the case when several members of the xDubai team teamed up with Mercedes to paint the town in radical tricks.
The brief, 2-minute video shows athletes Nick Jacobsen, Damien Walters and Noah Bahnson, driving Mercedes automobiles while doing death-defying jumps. Jacobsen even upped the ante as he jumped off of Dubai's Burj Al Arab hotel and landed in the cool waters of the Arabian Gulf.
They do all these stunts against the backdrop of the Dubai Marina and the under construction Ain Dubai - which when completed could well give the London Eye a run for its money.
Watch the athletes in action in the video below.
