Dew Tour Cup

The pressure, the excitement, the rivalry and the stakes all rise.

The thing that sets the Dew Tour apart from other action sports competitions is that with each and every Tour stop, the pressure, the excitement, the rivalry and the stakes all rise. With that said, Orlando is an explosive event, one not to be missed.

Five months, thousands of fans, a multitude of tricks, endless combos, months of training, hundreds of bruises and several sacred moments of glory all amounts to one thing: the Dew Cup Award Ceremony at the PlayStation® Pro in Orlando Florida.

The Dew Cup itself is a custom-made piece of Dew Tour lore; those who have won it know that the price paid was through a season-long battle. At the Awards Ceremony five deserving athletes get to finally kick back and soak up the feeling of being on top, Cup in hand. Five months of hard work and fierce competition are appropriately rewarded and the vibe is good all ‘round.

Below are some fun facts about the Dew Cup and those who have lifted it as year-long champions:

Next time you’re at a holiday dinner with the fam, the break out these little known Dew Cup Facts; the perfect conversation starter for any occasion:

– Jamie Bestwick has won the Dew Cup in BMX Vert all four years! The only other Dew Cup champions to go back-to-back-to-back are Daniel Dhers (2006-08) and Ryan Sheckler (2005-07).

– The Dew Cup is 19” tall by 12” wide.

– The Dew Cup weighs seven pounds.

– Each Dew Cup is custom-made in the beautiful Green Mountain state of Vermont by local craftsman Gary Blodgett. Gary specializes in metal fabrication and has worked on projects for Burton Snowboards, Gravis, Merrill and Rossignol.

– The Final Dew Cup design was chosen out of five possible designs. One of the original designs used sprockets from motocross bikes.

– With an aggressive, clean style illustrated through rock star studs, tribal handles and a brushed metal finish, the Dew Cup symbolizes action sports.

- The tighest race in Dew Cup history occured in 2005, when Bucky Lasek edged out Pierre-Luc Gagnon by a mere two points (371 to 369). Lasek and Gagnon each won two events during the season, but Lasek's second-place finish at the first ever Dew Tour event made the difference.
