Adrenalin Jump

It's officially fall when the AST Dew Action Sports Tour has started. My favorite riders are back on the BMX scene - Corey Bohan, TJ Lavin, the best Brit Jamie Bestwick and the beautiful and newly svelt, Rob Darden, who really threw it down today with some technical tricks and jaw dropping stunts. Whatever your passion, be it dirt, park or vert, this tour has it all. Tonight is the skateboarding competition and I am seriously chuffed to see Bucky Lasek, Paul Zitzer and our very own Quebec boy - Pierre Luc Gagnon, who was, in 2005, ranked the number two skater in the world. He also gained notoriety for having broken his knee cap while skating at Tony Hawks house. As a result, he missed two years in a row of competition but surprised everyone later and came back as a champion. I for one know that I'd much rather be sitting in the bleachers in Florida watching this weekend, but the tv will have to do.
