Ride U.S dropped the cover and feature list for issue 172. Real psyched to see Tom Dillon on the cover. You can check out all the contents right here.
TJ Lavin Joins Dew Tour As Contributor In 2011

The crew over at the Dew Tour shot over a press release a minute ago with some good news. They’ve got TJ Lavin in as a contributor for course design for 2011. This means TJ will be filling Fuzzy Halls spot, who had taken a team manager roll with Red Bull last year, to handle all of the stops dirt courses. It will be interesting to see what comes from it. Maybe, just maybe, the fine folks over at the X-Games corporation (lol) will take note and pull their heads out of their asses and bring dirt back.
It also sounds like they are going to step on X-Games “cement park” features as well this year.
“Taking a new approach to skateboarding for the 2011 season, street courses will include concrete elements and be designed in conjunction with well known skate construction companies including California Skateparks. In addition, the Tour will feature skate bowl contests.
“I am looking forward to skating new and improved Dew Tour courses,” said Mountain Dew skate athlete Paul Rodriguez. “I think it’s great they’ve decided to change up the contest, and it should definitely help to showcase everyone’s talent.”
Sadly, I’m going out on a limb and saying pegs won’t be allowed at yet another cement park! haha
“Raising the stakes this year, the prize purse has increased per event along with the year-end bonuses.”
But that’s a perk… not for me, but I’m sure Garrett Reynolds is psyched.
Take the jump to read the whole release and 2011 schedule!
One – Ben Wallace
Ride UK caught up with Ben Wallace at the Horsham Skatepark for a quick filming session for their “One” series.
Bell – Pat Casey
Bell’s Pat Casey Edit – More BMX Videos
Pat Casey has been blowing up lately, and for obvious reason. This new edit for his sponsor, Bell Helmets is so wild. It seemed like the front flip and flip fakie were so casual. That just seems weird to me. You don’t want to miss this edit.
Filmed and edited Ryan Galvan
Sekt – Austin Trip
Jason Sunday, Ed Cardiff, Matty Aquizap, James Nutter, Clint Reynolds, Liam Eltham and Adam Johnson made a trip to Austin recently to get some riding in at 9th Street.

Song – The Wipers “Mystery” Is this Real?
Josh Perry – 8 Clips From January
Josh Perry had a few clips just laying around from January. He decided to put them together for this quick edit. I had to double check that last clip. Double whip drop in…. I just want to learn those peg bonks to fakie.
OGIO – Andre Jesus
Andre Jesus is doing it for OGIO down in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Neuflip? HD Trick?
This video has been getting tossed around like a ten dollar hooker since last night. In that time I’ve seen it called the “Neuflip” on The Come Up, and HD Trick on a bunch of other sites. Ingvar Neumann did the trick, and according to his personal site he’s calling it the HD (Heavy Drug, Happy Day, High Def)… Bummer. The Neuflip sounds was better in my opinion. Either way, the trick I was wondering when it would happen, happened.
When I heard the music, I started praying this VERSION was going to play. I know that everyday I’m husalink.
