7th in LV for 7th Overall

In 2010 Austin Coleman entered the Dew Tour in both Park and Vert. It's hard to do both as the level in this contest series is serious. But if you fail to make the finals in one discipline, you've still got a second chance. Austin has been a regular in the Vert finals and finished on spot number 7 in Las Vegas at the last stop of the 2010 series. Austin also ended up on a respecatable spot 7 in the 2010 vert standings.

Dave Mirra, Travis Pastrana, Tanner Foust and Andrew Comrie-Picard are among the BMX, Motocross and X Games legends that will be competing for bragging rights that weekend.

Alessandro Barbero and the megaramp.

After the unfortunate Dew Tour stop in Chicago I am still here at Woodward and try to enjoy summer camp. The sessions always start at the new trails with lots of curved wall rides. It's super fun and has lots of rhythm. The sessions always end in two warehouses (Lot 8 and Cloud 9). Mondays we usually start a day in Lot 8. At the last demo session, me, Lil Keith, Steve McCann and Jamie Bestwick (as speaker) are really excited to pump the young audience of Woodward Camp.

I've been thinking to try the megaramp for a long time but I never had the possibility because it is not always open. Guys, this was one of my best experiences in BMX. I flipped 55ft (14 meters) on the first try. It's an undescribable feeling to go at certain speeds and certain height with a small bike.

Dave Mirra beats the pain

If you remember that Dave Mirra had a gnarly crash during practice in Salt Lake City only 2 weeks ago where he broke a knuckle in his left hand, dislocated his right thumb and bruised his sternum, only a few had expected him at the next Rally Cross in Millville, NJ 2 weeks later. Even surgery in his left hand, where they inserted 5 screws and a plate, did not hold Mirra back to line up in his Subaru.

And when Dave Mirra lines up, he's always a threat. He ripped off his cast of his broken pinky and pushed through the pain of his bruised sternum and hurting hands to compete in this race to finish second. Amazing.

Dave's still hoping to be able to ride the Dew Tour Finals in Las Vegas, if he can get his pinky to bend so he can hold the grip.
