Salt Lake City Dew Tour

The frontie whip has never been done in a dirt final at the Dew Tour so you can be sure the crowd went bananas when TJ pulled that one out of the bag. Diogo Canina was riding brakeless in the finals and was clocking huge 360 lookbacks before shooting off the side of the hip and into the middle of the third jump. Classic move Joe!
The park course was a tough sell for a lot of the Vans riders, but Gary Young found himself in the mix with some creative lines like foot-plant boosts over the box jump backwards and nasty clicked look-backs. Our UK Team rider Mark Webb put down some hot moves as well with giant 360 tables over the spine and a mind-blowing 720 decade over the box jump.
Our lone vert rider Coco Zurita was pretty amped to throw down in vert finals but his glove got caught on his brake lever during his run and tossed him over the backs like a sack of potatoes leaving him in 9th place and enough money to get the windows tinted on his Evo and some new tires for back road rally racing in Tehachapi.
