Last Friday after we put the final touches on our hotwheels car at Dubai Festival City, we unveiled it to the public and received a ton of praise! Not only did our skate mobile generate the most money for autism charity (1,500 AED) but we also get to keep it. All thanks to the owner of Rage, Shahriar, for ultimately winning the highest bid after lots of back and forth bidding with DFC!

Tamer and Peter did a great job building the ramps and most of all big ups to Evan and Leigh for putting so much time into making sure the car came out sick. Soon enough you’ll get to skate the car yourself in the Rage Skatepark at DFC!

Thanks for coming out yesterday dudes!

The Rage car as of Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Just a few weeks ago, Rage was offered by the good folks at Dubai Festival City to participate in the Car Art Festival. They told us we would get a car and be able to do whatever the heck we wanted with it alongside a bunch of other participants. The cars will be auctioned off for an autism charity here in Dubai. Not only was it the first event of it’s kind here in Dubai, but for us especially! We were totally down, to say the least. 

After a lot of brainstorming between our creative guys, Evan and Leigh came up with a really rad concept we’re sure you’re all gonna love! We’re making amazing progress so far, you can come down to the site if you want to check it out. We’re parked right outside of Marks&Spencer at Dubai Festival City.

We have until April 30th to finish our car, and on May 1st there will be a big ceremony to show everyones finished cars. 

Yalla, come down and check it out so far!
