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!

Colin Mackay Update!

Written by: Colin Mackay

Well summers gone and fall is here in America. Dew tour season is over, and I get my cast off my left wrist today and after four weeks on the sideline I’m ready to ride around again!

I broke the bottom of my thumb in prelims at the Salt Lake City stop of Dew Tour. I had been riding good and was pumped for the comp. I enjoyed riding the jumps and by the time it was my run in prelims the jump builders had just wet the jumps completely. I hate wet jumps for some reason, mostly I just feel like I’m going to slide out spinning 3’s. I was bummed before I dropped in so my first run was horrible, I didn’t even make it through all the jumps.

2nd run came around and I was fired up because it was my last chance to qualify for the final. Jumps were dry, and things were going a bit better! I got loose on a truck driver and managed to push through, the last set was coming up so I got a super pump and kicked a 3 no-foot can as big as I could! I stalled too much out and had to bail, I ended up landing real low and I put my hand out to soften the fall and I knew straight away I just broke my wrist.

From there I chilled the rest of the day knowing at some point I had to go to the hospital and go through all that crap. I got to the hospital at like 10pm and got an x ray and was told I needed surgery. Surgery in Salt Lake city was going to take too long to fit me in, so I got a hook up with the Dew Tour Doc’s with a hand surgeon in LA and flew there to get it fixed.

My Vans teammate Coco Zurita baby-sat me through the short stay in LA. We went clothes shopping a few hours after surgery! The next day I flew to Las Vegas for Interbike and mingled there for a few days.

So 4 weeks has been and gone and right when everyone is lazy after Dew Tour I’m stoked to ride! I even put my bike together last night equipped with a straight cable. (Over the Gyro)

I just got this in the mail recently also, my very own flick trix bike! This sweet bike is coming out in January 2010 so start saving! I’m real stoked on it.

My new Flick Trix bike!

Close up of my bike... check it out, even has mini Rockstar stickers!

start saving, it comes out soon!

I want to start filming for web video pretty soon as I’ve been thinking about some moves while I’ve been injured. I also want to head out to Cali for a trip before the end of the year.

Take it easy, Colin Mackay
