Dew Tour Slims to 3 Events in 2012

Over the past few months, rumors have percolated that the Dew Tour would be slimming down. Then, on Monday, April 16, those rumors were confirmed as Alli Sports announced that the 2012 Dew Tour would be comprised of three "large-scale, premium, 'grand-slam' style events."

In conjunction with a renewed four-year partnership with Mountain Dew, Wade Martin, President & CEO of Alli Sports said, "The action sports landscape has grown and changed dramatically since we launched the Dew Tour in 2005."

Yet Martin's reasoning that the growth of the action sports landscape would lead to a shrinking tour seems counterintuitive. A more accurate conclusion might be that the industry is in fact shrinking during the recent hard economic times. "The multi-stop series format was what the industry wanted and needed then." said Martin. "The Dew Tour changed the industry forever, taking the sports to a whole new level. The new Dew Tour, which will include three major events across beach, city, and mountain venues, represents what the athletes and industry want and need today."

However, the slimmed schedule is drawing mixed reviews from competitors in both the summer and winter sports. Seth Hill, a pro snowboarder who has competed in all of the Winter Dew Tour events for the past two years said, "I loved the three tour stops. If they are only going to do one winter contest, it has to be big, like X Games big, and it's just a bit early in the season for that large of a contest."

Paul Rodriguez, pro skater and Mountain Dew athlete, looks forward to the change and commented, "Bringing the events to venues that have such a strong history in skate will step up the level of competition, and I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together."

It will be interesting to see if the new condensed format will help or hinder the progression of action sports. Less contests means fewer chances for athletes to showcase their talents to the mainstream, which may cause a decline in the number of sponsorships available. However, a smaller competitive schedule gives riders a bit of a reprieve from the overly saturated contest circuit, which may help them to perform better at other events.

Here are the dates for the 2012 Dew Tour Schedule:

Beach: Ocean City, Maryland- August 16-19
City: San Francisco, California- October 18-21
Mountain: Breckenridge, Colorado- December 13-16

Australian Longboarder Ticketed While Skating for a Good Cause

Apparently Skateboarding is a crime in Australia. Okay, maybe not skateboarding, but longboarding too fast on the highway is a fineable offense. Australian Aaron Salta learned the hard way when he was ticketed while trying to skateboard 2,000 kilometers across Australia to "raise awareness about depression."

According to news.com in Australia, "Geelong musician Aaron Salta was shocked after a South Australian motorcycle police officer yesterday fined him $108 for riding a 'toy' on a road that has a speed limit greater than 50km/h."

Salta expressed his disappointment, stating, "I'm completely devastated. I've put over $10,000 of my own money into buying a van and all the stuff needed for this trip."

Here's an idea for the Australian police force: instead of accepting his $108 dollars as a traffic fine, donate the money to his cause.

Chaz Ortiz's Custom Training Facility

How fast would you progress at skateboarding if you had your very own park built to hone your skills? Just ask Chaz Ortiz, who recently built an indoor pro-level skate facility in Chicago where he is able to work on new tricks for the upcoming Street League season.

Ortiz hopes his new level of commitment in skateboarding will translate to winning contests in 2012. We've already seen it pay off for him in Tampa where he finished runner up at the Tampa Pro. And his quest to for the Street League championship will continue in Kansas City on May 18.

Here's a glimpse at one of his training sessions with a few select friends:

Skateboarder Tom Schaar, 12, makes history with first-ever 1080

Tom Schaar has shown remarkable promise as a skateboarder but few expected a 12-year-old to become the first in the sport to land a 1080. This week, however, the kid made history by soaring above a 27-foot quarterpipe wall, spinning three full rotations and landing with his board still underfoot. (Footage was released Friday; the trick is nailed just before the 35-second mark.)


News quickly spread via social media and the legendary Tony Hawk, who in 1999 became the first to land a 900, was among those to chime in. "I've seen Shaun White try 1080s & Mitchie Brusco crash-land a few," Hawk Tweeted. "Tom Schaar nailed it."

Schaar, who lives in Malibu, is among only a handful of skaters to have landed a 900. But many believed he lacked the size and strength necessary to achieve enough speed to land a 1080 on the MegaRamp.

The MegaRamp at Woodward West in Tehachapi, Calif., features a 70-foot roll-in ramp that leads to a 50-foot gap and ultimately the quarterpipe ramp. The ramp was customized by Schaar's sponsor, Red Bull, before he began to skate.

He nailed the trick on his fifth try.

"I'm pretty stoked," Schaar said afterward. "I thought it'd take three days of trying it 40 times... I was definitely high enough and I could tell I was spinning fast enough, and right at about 720 I saw the coping and I was 2-3 feet above the coping and I got around that last 360, and I was just amazed."

So were his much older peers.

Said skateboarding icon and MegaRamp specialist Bob Burnquist, via email: "Tom Schaar is a little giant and a spinning machine. Amazing. Look forward to learning a lot from him in the future."

Pro Skateboarders Featured in The Doors New 'L.A. Woman' Music Video

In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary edition of the album L.A. Woman, The Doors released a music video to the title track, featuring pro skateboarders Kenny Anderson, Alex Olson and Braydon Szafranski skating the streets of L.A.

The original band's drummer, John Densmore, and guitarist, Robby Krieger, make cameos as the guys skate past prominent locations that figure into the band's career such as the sidewalks in front of the Hollywood Bowl, the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, and the street artist Gronk's mural of Jim Morrison in Venice.

According to the L.A. Times this is the first time an authorized edit of the song has been released.



Kenny Anderson was so pumped to participate in the remake of the music video that he produced a clip entitled, "Top 5 Things About Being in the Doors 'L.A. Women' Video."

2012 Tampa Pro: Italo Romano's Inspirational Showing

On Sunday, Torey Pudwill beat out Chaz Ortiz, Sean Malto, and the rest of skateboarding's elite to claim his first Tampa Pro title at the famous Skatepark of Tampa.

As impressive as Pudwill's ability to land the big tricks all contest long was, an even more impressive display of perseverance came from 23-year-old Brazilian skateboarder Italo Romano. He qualified 19 out of 77, ahead of skateboarding's brightest stars, such as Ryan Scheckler and Manny Santiago, earning himself a spot in the finals.

The accomplishment is perhaps most notable for his ability to compete alongside the world's best without the use of his legs. As a teenager, his legs were amputated after an accident where he tried to balance between train carriages.

Romano shows determination to never allow the loss of his legs to get in the way of his dreams. As he recently stated, "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it."

Video of Romano's qualifying run:

Holy Cow: A Skate Trip Through India

Skate filmmaker Patrik Wallner released this incredible 10 minute short film that documents his travels through Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh, entitled Holy Cow. The scenery and interactions between the local people and Wallner's crew as they skate is especially inspiring.

One amazing thing about traveling somewhere so foreign is that people don't see a group of skateboarders, and the social assumptions that often go along with that. They are merely in awe of the sport as an incredible athletic display.

For more of Patrik's work and travels, click over here.
