Dubai - MENA Herald: THE BEACH, the upbeat outdoor destination by Meraas, is set to unleash an adrenaline-packed extended weekend for Dubai’s youth with an exciting line-up of skateboarders, BMX and MTB jump riders, parkour performers and Bboys at its hip ‘Urban Beats at THE BEACH by Vans’ gig that combines music, art and extreme sports.

The three-day event that will run from Thursday, 31 March to Saturday, 2 April 2016, at the North Lawn Amphitheatre of THE BEACH showcases a line-up of leading international dare-devils, including BMX rider James Jones and Parkour performer (free-runner) Luke Madigan, MTB rider Daryl Brown and Trials rider Ben Savage, Lewis Williams - who performs stunts on a scooter and the pro VANS sponsored skateboarder Ross McGouran.

Furthermore, Dubai based DJ and producer Lobito Brigante will mix and match music sets to complement the event’s funky, hip-hop vibe.
