On Saturday it was the second local event of the National Gatorade Series which is the qualifier for the main event at the Dew tour. With a full field and a huge waitlist all our kids were lucky to scrape in and get a ride. With reasonable results at the last event in Vail this was going to be a tougher stop. Lots of kids from the Rev Tours were signed up with everyone chasing the free flights to the Dew Tour Finals in Vermont.
Chris Decampo rode the best on the day from our team, landing his run to finish 3rd overall. This was also enough for Chris to get an invite to the finals in Vermont, although returning to school this week for year 12 and a photo shoot in Japan he had to turn down the offer.
In the womens the Aussie girls dominated, up against some strong US girls who were all linking spin combinations, Michaela ended up on the podium coming in 2nd with Lauren Staveley in 3rd. Michaela definitly put the best jumps riding down on the day and was just short of first by some really technical rail riding from the US girl. Lauren cruised to 3rd with some clean straight airs and a 360.
In the juniors Daniel Klein podiumed again with a 2nd place, congrats to DK, overall a great bunch of riding from all the TSC team up against some strong US riders, gaining valuable competition experience.
Upcoming events are the Canadian Open in Canada and the USASA at Winter Park and the Rev Tour at Copper.
