If the players time their stomps correctly, the board does a 360 degree spin, and the team wins points. At the end of the ride, the team with the most points wins.{{ref|https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/arabian-adventure-ferarri-world-more.3372/}} | Two teams of two riders each strap onto a large "skateboard", which swings back and forth on a 7 meter tall halfpipe at speeds of 40 km/h.
