Day four wrapped up the Salt Lake stop of the Summer Dew Tour, the last stop before finals in Las Vegas this October.

The Gatorade Free Flow Skate Vert continued to display the amazing talent of these skaters. The coordination and control of their boards is stunning and today, seven contestants took the Dew Tour vert ramp, and Jonathan Schwan topped the podium and became the 2011 skate vert Champ. This means that 14-year-old Schwan will travel to Las Vegas in October, to compete with the pros at the Dew Tour Championships.

From Schwan himself, ” I am super excited! Gatorade Free Flow Tour is the bigges am contest in the nation and it’s really hard to get a lot of good kids in the same area together to have fun and help progress your skating.’

With the win, Schwan earns a prequalified spot at the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas, Nev. to compete with the pros. He will join yesterday’s skate street champ Brendon Villanueva, with the opp. to go pro! To wrap up the summer season these skaters will join the BMX champs

The last event of the stop was the Fre Flow BMX Vert finals. They ran format similar to the skate jam session which is a great way to keep the action going. It is still amazing how high they are going above the coping. There were a few nasty falls which seems to happen more in BMX events when you have to fall with your bike to complicate things.
