Dew Tour Las Vegas – Results & Videos
“Scotty Cranmer Tops the Park Podium and Earns Dew Cup; Kyle Baldock Wins Dirt and Dennis Enarson Takes Dew Cup
Las Vegas, Nev. – Oct. 15, 2011 – The Dew Tour Championships wrapped up BMX Park and Dirt seasons today under the hot Las Vegas sun. Scotty Cranmer walked away from the park course with the first place finish and his first Dew Cup. Cranmer began his second run knowing that a top score would give him the season win and landed a big tailwhip on the drop in gap, a backflip double tailwhip and a corked 720 down the step down. He threw his bike in the air as the buzzer sounded, knowing his tricks would be good enough to jump ahead of Dennis Enarson’s second place run and Daniel Dhers’ third place effort.
“The Dew Cup is something I thought was out of my reach,” said Cranmer after his win. “I just needed to have faith in myself. I’m at a good place right now, and my family and friends fueled me to get to this point. I’m so grateful for them and this Dew Cup. This is unbelievable.”
Kyle Baldock saved some energy from the BMX Park Final to gain the win on the BMX Dirt course later in the day, riding with a separated shoulder. His top run included a flip bar over the first set, a seven on the second set, frontie third set and three down whip to whip back, marking Baldock’s first BMX Dirt win ever. Ben Wallace made his first career trip to the podium finishing in second place, with Brett Banasiewicz rounding out the podium in third. With consistent dirt riding throughout the season, Enarson’s fourth place finish gave him enough points to come out on top for the Dew Cup.
“To come out and win is crazy,” said Baldock following his win. “I just have a good time and ride. It makes me so happy because I don’t ride dirt much at all, so now I can come be a contender for the Dew Cup next year.”
The Dew Tour Championships continues tomorrow with Skate and BMX Vert on the ramp over the Hard Rock Hotel’s Beach Club pool. The four-day event culminates with a season-end Awards ceremony, turned into a pool party with DJ Mindless Behavior spinning through the afternoon.

Session at Dennis Enarson’s
“Before moving out of his parent’s house in La Mesa, Calif., Nike 6.0 constructed an amazing set of ramps for Dennis Enarson, which his parents have allowed him to keep. These days, with Dennis as a homeowner, the sessions at his parent’s house might not be as frequent, but the riding continues to deliver when sessions do go down.
Highlights of this video include Augie Simoncini’s command of the superman air, Garrett Reynolds’ smooth as glass opposite truckdriver and Dennis’ regular and opposite downside whips.
But that wasn’t the only thing that grabbed me about this video. While watching it, I couldn’t help but notice the similarity in hairstyle between Tammy McCarley and Linkavitch Chomofsky of “Encino Man” fame. Check the compare and contrast above. Video by Miles Rogoish.” – ESPN

Red Bull Dream Line Finals Edit
Red Bull dropped the second video from Dreamline this past weekend. The finals were definitely on a whole different level. After you check out the video, hit the Photogallery from the finals.
“The Red Bull Dream Line Finals in Wabasha, Minnesota featured eight top BMX dirt riders on a one-of-a-kind course with a laid-back, good-time vibe. See what happened during the session, after which Luke Parslow was picked by the other riders as the day’s champ.”

The finals from Red Bull‘s Dreamline went down this past Saturday. The format was once again very loose with everyone who didn’t make it into finals voting for the top 3 riders. With a line up of Brian Foster, Chris Doyle, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Luke Parslow, Dennis Enarson, Cory Nastazio, Gary Young and TJ Ellis in the finals, good things were obviously going to happen.
After the lines were touched up and watered by the building crew, the guys started rolling in on the trails. Once everyone was good and warmed up, the guys in the finals were given the heads up that the clock was going to start and they had an hour to impress everyone with everything in their bag of tricks.
Needless to say, the final jam turned into a full on session with almost everyone riding; not just the guys in the finals. As the time progressed, things started getting real hot with guys throwing down things they have never done or haven’t done in years. Everyone was vibing so well that once the clock ran out, nobody said anything and just let the guys keep going. It was an amazing decision since that’s when two double backflips came out (Hucker and then Luke Parslow) over the big booter, Dennis was destroying the shark fin, Doyle was dropping 720’s mid set and everyone in general was pushing it harder than any of the riding seen the entire weekend.
It wasn’t until Brian Foster went down with a possible torn ACL and the light was fading that the riders decided it was time to shut it down and cast their votes. It was apparent to everyone who would be taking home the cash this weekend.
I’d like to send a huge shout out to Red Bull for organizing one of the most amazing and relaxed contests ever. This is definitely one event that will go down in the history books as how things should be done in BMX.

“LIVING THE DREAM: LUKE PARSLOW WINS BMX DIRT FINAL AT RED BULL DREAM LINE
Private Rider-Judged Contest Goes Big in Small Town Minnesota
September 24, 2011 – (Wabasha, MN) – There was no snow necessary to make a dream downhill run at the Coffee Mill Ski Resort in rural Minnesota this weekend. Luke Parslow put on a non-stop BMX dirt showcase to win the top spot with a barrage of flip tricks. In a flawless two hour session he blasted a 360 backflip, a backflip tailwhip and a double backflip. That was enough to earn the respect of his fellow riders, who awarded him the prize in a contest Parslow called, “the best contest since Red Bull Elevation.”
A first of its kind, Red Bull Dream Line features an unrestricted trails-style course that sent riders to skies and back down again. Sixteen riders hit 13 perfectly groomed jumps in a self-judged contest that encouraged skill and creativity, like Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark’s opposite truck downside 360 whip, a trick which has rarely been seen before.
Red Bull Dream Line project was conceived by BMX pro Anthony Napolitan as way to privately train and develop his tricks. Given six weeks and complete freedom to develop and groom the course to their liking, builders Adam Aloise and Dave King (who previously worked on Red Bull Elevation) began to shape Anthony’s private playground. The course proved to be so amazing he couldn’t keep it to himself, and devised the contest to invite 16 of the worlds best BMX dirt riders to session and see what could be done on a course that includes a 35ft step-up and a first-of-its-kind near vert berm gap named “the shark fin”. Top names in the sport made the trip to Wabasha to see the dream in person, including Red Bull Stomping Ground winner Brandon Dosch, young star Dennis Enerson, and sport legends like Chris Doyle, Cory Nastazio and Brian Foster.
The self-judged format allowed riders complete freedom to judge with no set criteria. On Friday, September 23rd, sixteen riders competed in two heats of eight. The eight athletes in the non-riding heat judged their peers. The top eight moved on to Saturday’s Finals. During a 45-minute jam, Enerson landed a 270 tailwhip on “the shark fin” and Parslow and Hucker both closed down the session with a double backflip on a massive 35ft step-up.
While there is prize money up for grabs, the goal of the contest is take a step back and enjoy riding with freedom from timed runs and the pressure of live TV, on a course that had no rules or constraints. For Napolitan, the event proved to be a dream come true, “This contest made a huge impact on BMX dirt, the riders are psyched and I couldn’t be more happy.”
