Whenever BMX and Red Bull have joined hands for a unique stunt video, it has always been a treat for extreme sports lovers - especially in Dubai.
After recently shutting down the Aquaventure Waterpark in Dubai and filling it with pro skaters who performed stunts across the park's slides, this time Red Bull roped in professional BMX rider, Panos Manaras to 'shred' across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Associated with adventure and and extreme sports, BMX and Red Bull posted a four-minute video of the 26-year-old American-Greek rider performing insane stunts around iconic areas of Dubai, giving viewers a sneak peek of the new and old city, including iconic areas such as Downtown Dubai to the Deira Creek.
Dubai has lately become the hub for adventure and extreme sports in the region, offering experiences such as skydiving, skateboarding, desert racing and now - BMX riding.
The video ends where it started, at The Terrace at Dubai Creek Harbour, before showing Manaras scribbling "To Be Continued" in a notepad, hinting at a part 2 to Manaras' 'adventures' across the UAE.
According to young Greek's bio on the Red Bull, he has been competing in professional BMX tournaments since 2007, known for his "tricks" in the BMX Street and BMX Dirt disciplines.
Manaras can also be seen petting a camel, enjoying the local cuisine and even shisha throughout the video:
