Dew Tour Portland 2014 – Streetstyle Practice

August 17, 2014

The Streetstyle contest at the Portland stop of the Dew Tour is going down today (which you can watch live later today) in Portland. Yesterday the likes of Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Garrett Reynolds, Van Homan, Tyler Fernengel, Stevie Churchill, Gary Young, Broc Raiford and a few others got a little practice on the course. Take a peek and see a teaser of what’s going down today!

“It’s virtually impossible to film the entire course with anything other than chasing everyone down the course with a fisheye in hand, so that’s just what I did. Again and again and again until I basically burned through my shoes and nearly ran into everyone on course. But it was damn fun and I think it shows how fast and gnarly the course is and how nuts this event (Sunday from noon to 2pm PST) will really be. I’m seriously looking forward to it. My apologies for a couple of shakes and even that “oh shit” during Shitty’s run…he said he was going to nose manual that ledge, not turndown the hip, haha. Enjoy!” – Ride BMX

Portland Dew Tour 2014 – Dirt Practice Video

August 16, 2014

Check out some highlights that Ride BMX dropped from the dirt practice at the Portland Dew Tour stop that’s going down this weekend! Looks to be a pretty laid back event versus some of the past contests, but good riding none the less!

“Keeping it simple with this one because the vibe itself was pretty chill. Everyone was basically just cruising because the last jump was so wet. But, this being a “Dirt Session” and not a traditional dirt event: two dirt jumps and a quarter, ten riders, and a thirty minute jam session. According to the Dew Tour site, “Riders must complete three runs to be eligible for a top–five placing.” So, it’ll be a mix of people laying down three runs and then it’ll probably get wild… ”

August 16, 2014

It was only a matter of time before Flybikes bumped Courage Adams up to their pro team! Check out this amazing video welcoming him to the family!

“Every once in a while, a rider comes along that’s just able to pick up tricks and overall bike skills quicker, with a better level of control than most, with an evident talent and rate of progression that’s telling of his future. Spain’s Courage Adams name may be new to some, but a lot of you already know his pure drive and enjoyment of riding. We guarantee you’ll be seeing a lot more of this kid in the near future.
Courage has been a part of Fly’s extended crew for a while, but we’d like to officially welcome Courage to the Flybikes Family. This is very well deserved. Congrat’s brother!!
