Skateboard park proves to be the tightest race for
the Cup this season, with only 40 points separating skateboard
superstars Greg Lutzka, Chaz Ortiz, Ryan Sheckler and Paul Rodriguez.
Leading the charge is Lutzka, who can potentially win
his first-ever Dew Cup, with Ortiz, Sheckler and Rodriguez close behind
in second, third and fourth respectively. With the level of talent
competing it’s anyone’s game.

Despite Shaun White’s back-to-back Dew Tour wins in
skateboard vert, Pierre Luc-Gagnon has earned enough points to hold his
spot at the top of the leader board, allowing him to win it all by
placing fourth or higher. But the excitement doesn’t
end there. With a two point difference between vert veterans Bucky
Lasek, currently seated second, and Andy Macdonald seated third, it’s
going to be a tough competition until the end.

Out on the BMX dirt course, rising star Brett
Banasiewicz needs a podium finish to win his first-ever Dew Cup which
would make him the youngest BMX athlete to accomplish this feat. Only
30 points behind Banasiewicz is Brandon Dosch with
252 points, with Dennis Enarson in third in the overall standings. With
more points on the line at the Dew Tour Championships, the race for the
Dew Cup has heated up.

In BMX park, three-time Dew Cup champion, Daniel
Dhers, looks to secure a win against defending Dew Cup champion,
Garrett Reynolds. Dhers presently sits in first and needs a podium
finish in Las Vegas to clinch the highly coveted Dew Cup.
However, Reynolds still has the opportunity to come out on top, if he
succeeds in battling it out against the likes of Mark Webb, who is also
a contender and could potentially win his first Dew Cup.
