DRIVE starring Mike Vallely: Israel Part 1 (2007)
Season Two | Episode Five

Episode Five of DRIVE finds Mike Vallely traveling to Israel to check out that country's fledgling skate scene.

To many, Israel is only known as a volatile place that sits center stage in the Middle East's ongoing political problems. But Mike finds it a beautiful country and is surprised to discover a blossoming skate scene that has been around for over a decade.

Mike skates a demo in the northern town of Hafia, explores the "Old City" in Jerusalem, and meets up with local skater Gilli Levy at the Jerusalem skate park to discuss the skate scene in Jerusalem and the issues Israeli skaters face.

The show closes with a couple of local skaters taking Mike and fellow Element skateboarder Dallas Rockvam to session a quarter-pipe wave-like structure on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
