The Dew Tour is hitting Ocean City, Maryland June 20-23. Although they’ve changed up the format a bit, it sounds like this will be a bigger and better version that will have park, vert and flatland. No word on dirt, but I guess if the contest is going down on the beach that makes for a bit of a challenge to make that happen. Either way, check out the full press-release below.
“Burr Ridge, Ill. – May 22, 2013 – Alli Sports, a division of the NBC Sports Group, today announced the competition schedule and top confirmed athletes for the Dew Tour Beach Championships in Ocean City, Md., June 20-23.
