Update after Orlando Dew Tour

Written by: Rob Darden

Last week was the last stop of the Dew Tour in Orlando Florida. The Rockstar crew was holding it down all weekend. Newly added to the Rockstar team was TJ Ellis who finished 2nd in the dirt finals and I backed him up sitting in the 3rd position. Ending the Dew Tour dirt season on the podium was a great was to go out.   It was also a huge night  for Ryan Nyquist who finished 5 in the dirt finals and took home the Dew Tour year end title for dirt. A big congrats to Ryan!

After a wild night riding the dirt finals we had park finals the next day.  The park course was definitely one of the best this year, I had a few slip ups in the park finals but managed to finish in the 6th position. After already having a killer night in the dirt finals, Nyquist came out and showed everyone how it’s done. Ryan’s second run was flawless and knocked Dehers out of the top position for the second year in a row to take home the win. It couldn’t have ended in a better way.

Congrats to Ryan Nyquist and the rest of the Rockstar crew!

Written by: Rob Darden

If you are going to be in Salt Lake City for the third stop of the Dew Tour, the Ogio Extreme Tubing Challenge is going down the Monday after the event. This is something that you do not want to miss! I am not a 100% sure, but Ryan Nyquist might be a three time champion in the Extreme Tubing Challenge. Can he pull if off again this year? Only time will tell.

Checking in

Written by: Rob Darden

Josh Harrington and I just got back from a little filming road trip in Germany/Netherlands for his new video Still Searchin’. We had bad weather most of the time but still managed to get some clips. Next week is the third stop of the Dew Tour in Salt Lake City. SLC is definitely my favorite stop of the tour, also there is the Ogio rafting trip the Monday after the event which is a pretty wild scene.

Check back after next week for more updates from the Dew Tour and some classics pics of the rafting trip.
