A New Threat?
The 2008 AST Dew Tour is on the road again after concluding its third stop, the Wendy’s Invitational. Top athletes from the world of action sports landed in Portland, OR on September 11-14, and thrilled the crowds with nonstop action in the race for the Dew Cup.
<h3 Freestyle Motocross comp opened with a resounding welcome for local rider Beau Bamburg from Gresham, OR. But the enthusiastic crowd were also treated to the riding of Mike Mason, Nate Adams, Blake Williams and others who are turning out their best tricks in an attempt to win the Cup. The FMX competition won’t be decided until after the final stop in Orlando in October.
Heated action wouldn’t be as fun without some very heated battles that are going on for the lead. In BMX Park, Daniel Dhers is now in a good position to win his third Dew Cup but Mike Spinner is doing his best to claim the cup for himself. In BMX Vert, Chad Kagy and Jamie Bestwick are only separated by 15 points, and Bestwick seems as determined to get his fourth Dew Cup as Kagy is to stop him. Skateboard is the scene for some epic battles as well. Paul Rodriguez currently leads Ryan Sheckler by seven points. Sheckler is after his fourth Dew Cup and doesn’t seem content to hand it over without a fight. And, in Vert, Bucky Lasek is in the lead with 260 points to Bob Burnquist’s 245. But Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Andy MacDonald and Sandro Diaz aren’t sitting back waiting for them to claim the cup.
