“I’m really looking forward to being more involved in the Dew Tour this year. It’s a great opportunity to have a hand in designing courses that will push the riders to the next level,” said Lavin. “BMX and action sports in general always benefit from events like the Dew Tour and having athletes so heavily involved - especially building something as important as the courses.”
The full Dew Tour schedule features multi-sport events at each of the four stops, including BMX dirt, park, and vert, as well as skateboarding street and vert. Over the course of the Tour, athletes will compete to accumulate points based on their individual event finishes, each vying for the most overall points and the title of Dew Cup champion. Raising the stakes this year, the prize purse has increased per event along with the year-end bonuses.
