On my recent trip to Florida with the Albe's guys, Chad Kagy made a call to DMC and hooked me up judging the Cleveland Dew Tour. I was a little nervous at first... judging can be a big job especially when there's 10's of thousands of dollars on the line and dudes fighting for Year End points. But when all was said and done it was one of the best jobs I've ever had. And there's definitely nothing wrong with having the best seat in the house for some of the best BMX riding in the world right now.

Probably the highlight for me was the Vert Comp. I don't get to see Jamie ride a vert ramp in person very often, so when I do it's always a treat. And the fact that Kagy has been killing it lately kinda puts a fire under Jamie's butt and it shows. Portland was one of the most exciting vert comps I've been to in my life. I can't count how many times in the last few years I've seen Jamie turn his second run into a victory lap after already locking down the win with his first run... So seeing him have to throw down for his second run in both Cleveland and Portland was amazing. In Portland Chad pulled out the win, but I can only imagine what Jamie's last run would have been if he had managed to stay on his bike the entire time. My hats off to those two for pushing vert and putting me on the edge of my seat comp after comp.

Here's a couple pics I took from the last two stops of Dew Tour... My favorite being the one of Catfish trying to hit his head on the ceiling of an elevator when it first starts to drop... he didn't and I won ten bucks, which disappeared quick when we got to Sassy's! Good times. Thanks DMC! And I promise to ride Park in one of the Open's next year!

Oh yeah, me, Patie, and Thompson went to Packers family night a couple weeks ago and got rained on and didn't care... man, I can't wait for NFL football. GO PACK GO!

Looks like UGP just posted a brand new Dave Freimuth interview... have a look!

Here's part 2 of the Midwest BMX Comp at 4 Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee!

Here's some footy of Dave Freimuth from the 2007 Midwest BMX comp at 4 Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee, More on the way!

John...
I nosepicked the face of the 2x6 probably 6 times, and then when I actually tried to tooth it I missed twice, stuck it once but jumped off, and then pulled it twice in a row. I'm stoked; it's probably one of the best toothpicks I've ever done. I've only done a couple that high, but never precision like that.

Here's a couple photos...they were for the UGP site since they gave me some gas money for our Ohio trip, but I figured you could put 'em up if you like. -Dave

An "entertainer" at one of the fine Ohio drinkin' holes we visited--this is a self-portrait by the way.

Catfish saw this tow truck and demanded i take his picture...I call it "jesusfish."
