Wait for it, wait for it, …, OK – go!
Tim and Colin are plugged-in. Here they make the calls to their Dew associate to send out the passes.
It’s confirmed. We’re in.
Fortunately we avoid having to stand in this rather large line of folks waiting to get their action sport fix.
Excitment, concern and fear overtake Tim, Colin and Grover as we enter Dew’dom.
Grover and Colin’s reservations quickly turn to hugs and kisses for the Prince of Street.
Wow, Paul Schmitt in the flesh. Things are looking up and Grover takes the opportunity to shake Paul’s hand. CreateASkate is super cool. Check it out.
Can you say “Fresh Park?” Well, maybe it’s not so fresh but Benji is always down to give back. Check out the old-school hi-jump over the rail in a plastic shopping bag shirt.
With all the excitement, Colin finds himself in a delima. Should he spray color his hair or not?
The pressure is too much and flashbacks of the Thompson Twins place Colin’s head squarely in the path of the fashionista’s spray can.
How about a little green to go with that red?
Punk Head Lives! With Colin’s action sport hair in full-bloom, we head over to the street area.
Lots of folks wait patiently for the onslaught of ollies and board flips. Where’s Grover?
It seems Grover found his way into the VIP photographer section. Let’s hear it for the stealthy big guy.
We join Grover in the photographer’s section and snap a quick pic of the practice session.
A few minutes in the photo section and we shuffle off to check out some Dew Merch. For a paltry $80, you too can have your very own AST Dew skate deck. Are you kidding? $80???? That’s all we needed to vacate the premises and go skate the newly opened Vancouver skatepark. Thanks to Bacon Skateboards for the passes and an afternoon of distractions. EPM Out!
Dissin Freshpark? Whoa……just let me know when you guys have kids and can’t skate, you’ll all be begging me for a QP to borrow for the drive-way. Oh wait, you all have kids. My bad. What really sucks is the Dew Tour put the Freshpark on a the worst surface known to man, thanks DEW TOUR!
the photo of Grover kissing hot Sheckler is priceless, thanks for sharing. I watched the street at last year’s DEW tour and it sucked ass…drop in, flip trick, turn around, grind, turn around…etc. No flow, slow and boring to watch.
The only reason I was kissing scheckler was to try and woo onto coldwars steet team.
i like the cold war sticker on the 80$ dew deck
I think you meant paltry which means a meager amount. Poultry refers to domestic fowl.
Thanks for the edit and may your poultry never be paltry.
heyya like the hair !!! 😀
