Dew Tour Slims to 3 Events in 2012
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
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.

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

2012 Tampa Pro: Italo Romano's Inspirational Showing
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:
