When I was little back in the 2000s I used to play a game with a bunch of kids as the main characters you could select and play. One of them was a short, blonde girl who wore green clothes and rode a spinner. One other was a guy with a board but that memory is more fuzzy. It was a racing game where kids were ontop of different things that made them move. One antagonist was an old middle eastern man dressed in clothing appropriate for the dessert (you know those long white dresses). I know nothing about the plot because back then I didn't know english.
Vegas next week. I'm insanely in to RC cars, and saw the opportunity to drive actual desert trucks on a course and jump them. I've casually looked in to the multiple offerings, but am wondering what some others experience's might have been. Basically top businesses which offer this.
I'm down to drop the dough for a great one time experience. Suggestions are obviously appreciated! Thank you!

Graphics: 3D, pretty realistic and nice by 00's and early 10's standarts.
Notable characters: Uhh...a car? I only remember that you could drive a gray-ish green muscle car that looked sort of like an old dodge charger? I also recall it was either rusty or dirty too.
Notable gameplay mechanics: It didn't differ very much from other racing games. Besides its difficulty. The cars would break pretty easily. Its parts would break off easily too. The car was slowing down in its speed if you bumped in objects. Like you could bump into boarder once or twice and its engine was already smoking. And you could consider it a game over already since in this state you wouldn't have been able to finish first. It was pretty easy to lose in this game.
Other details: The map of the race was desert themed, as long as I remember. The road didn't have asphalt. It also had boarders by its sides. And there were cactuses as decorations.
