We’ve all seen sandboarding videos before: It’s just like snowboarding — except the mountains are small and the snow isn’t slippery. No wonder it’s never really taken off as a sport. Add a high-powered, desert-optimized Dakar rally car and one of the biggest, steepest sand dunes on the Arabian Peninsula, and suddenly we’re talking petroleum-soaked adrenaline sessions.
Especially if you throw pro rally driver Jakub Przygoński and a couple of handrails (sandrails?) into the mix. That was the setup, and we think the resulting video definitely raises the bar. What do you think?
