“Sidewalk skiing,” which is seen as a genuine pastime in Saudi Arabia, is an act of balancing the car on two wheels.

This activity can be done in one of two ways:

• turning sharply, or at high speed, in a vehicle with a strong center of gravity (a 4x4 for example);
• or using a ramp to lift the vehicle into position
