Extreme sports or Adventure sports are recreational activities perceived as involving a high degree of risk. These activities often involve speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear. The types commonly known in Morocco are: BMX, Rollers, Skateboard, Parcour, Surf… According to some Moroccan gamers, Extreme sports also known as X-sports are therapies however, not all gamers are lucky enough to have a secured, safe and equipped space to practice their talent in as the case of Tangier gamers who must pay 20dhs per day (!!!) to have access to Tangier Play Park which is supposed to be public, and rent a helmet for 10dhs, knowing that most of these gamers live far from the park that is located in Malabata. And we are wondering how a Xgames park can survive without its best gamers? What’s the emotion behind going there if we can’t find experimented gamers to teach and entertain us?
That’s turn out to be DANGEROUS!
Furthermore, numerous gamers have been aggressively attacked in Tangier streets while training (watch the video below). Thus, we strongly believe that the main cause of this problem is the fact that x-sports are not considered beautiful and creative ARTS like others while x-gamers are artists as well just like singers, painters or dancers… without ignoring the fact that they are the image of the country so, they must be the heartbeat of the parks. All in all, it is mandatory and very important that Tangier Play Park joins Casablanca and Rabat and make it public.

Live Room Project is supporting Tangier X-Riders case and we call the authorities to find a solution for them. We will keep fighting till we get the park back and we suggest as a solution to make an exclusive list of the gamers that should enter freely or just pay a small amount, for example: 100dh/month.
