Final Stop - AST Dew Tour, Orlando, Fl
It is only a week or so since we were in Orlando for the final round of the AST Dew Tour. After coming 2nd overall last year because I slipped my pedal, I definitely wanted to give it my best this year to try and make up for it. I was headed into the last stop in 1st place overall and pretty much needed a podium to win the Dew Cup.
In practice on the first day I jumped the last jump and didn't even do a trick - but my hand slipped off the grip and it sent me sling-shotting into the berm - straight to my head. It pretty much knocked me out, however I managed to get up like I was 'super tough' and walk off the course. I sat there
talking to medical staff while my ears were ringing and my vision was totally blurred but trucked it out and managed to ride for about half an hour longer until the concussion got to me and I was back at the hotel feeling like I wanted to die. With a little rest, I shook off it all off and managed to get back for the 6pm practice session and do some more runs.
The following day was finals day, and I woke up feeling pretty good. I went to practice wanting to knock out some big tricks so I was feeling good come finals time, but another crash in practice slowed me down a little bit - I crashed a flip-bar to whip on the first set and smashed my
hip. Nothing serious, but it still sucked.
Come comp time I was feeling ok and ready to send my runs. I managed to pull off my first run. which wasn't exactly what I wanted but it was clean so I couldn't complain. Now it was time for my second run. If I pulled this off, I could have possibly wrapped up the title, but, as always....hahaha....it didn't go as planned and I caught the barspin in the flip bar to whip not even on my grip and had to cheese that run. I wasn't too upset but that meant it all came down to my last run. If I pulled my last run, I could win the cup. If I didn't pull it, it would be all over and probably end up a repeat of last year.
Well I was pretty determined to not let that happen. That was until I dropped in for a warm up lap and ended up having a gnarly collision with Rob Darden who was crossing the course. Lucky nothing was hurt or broken on me or my bike and I was able to get up and run back up to the top of the
roll-in and do my 3rd run. I was the last rider to go and I knew that I had to land that last run.
Well at the end of the day, I didn't do what I really wanted to do, but I didn't crash and I pulled off a reasonable run. I couldn't believe I'd won the Dew Cup for 2008. In fact, it still hasn't sunk in - but it's slowly getting there.
I want to thank all my family for making the trip over from Australia - I'm glad that I could pull it all off and make the trip for them worthwhile.
Stay tuned for the next update - we have some exciting stuff coming up this week!

Cam wins AST Dew Cup!
News just in - Cam has won the AST Dew Cup! Cam came 3rd behind Dennis Enarson and Australia's Corey Bohan in the Dirt Final just minutes ago in Orlando, Florida.
Cam landed his signature trick, a barspin to tailwhip backflip over the first set to sit in the top spot after everyone's first runs were done and dusted. A bad landing in his second run however put him back into 7th place. This meant the pressure was really on him to crank out an awesome final run so that he could improve his standing and pick up the points needed to take home the cup. Cam of course rose to the occasion throwing a barspin to whip flip over the first set which shot him up into 3rd place, giving him enough overall points to make him the 2008 BMX Dirt Dew Cup Champion! There will be some serious celebrating tonight! Congratulations Cam!

Cam's report on Salt Lake City
This past week we were in Salt Lake City for the 4th stop of the AST Dew Tour. It was a pretty big week, but it was a lot easier than the other stops because we drove up from Vegas. It’s only a 6 hour drive and having the truck made it way more easy to just go and do stuff instead of relying on taxi's and what not. I always get stoked for the Salt Lake City stop of the tour - the jumps are always awesome, and this stop certainly took the cake - they were downhill, big floaters with a bunch of hips - I was pumped.
After my horrible ride in Portland I was on a mission to not make the same mistake again. I made sure I pulled all my runs this time and managed to walk away with the 3rd place finish. I am super stoked and I’m going into Orlando in 1st place - so lets hope I ride up to par and hang onto that spot.
After the contest was all said and done we went and rode Tanner trails. They are super fun trails and it was awesome to just flow through and have a good time. Cam Wood has done so much work and made those trails amazing, so thanks to him for letting us ride. After that session we went to Fairmont Skatepark for a ride. It's a fun park and we sessioned for a good hour and a half.
Following the big day riding, we went out to dinner with Steve Olpin and the guys and after finishing dinner around 10pm, we decided we would just mash out to Vegas that night. We were all stoked for our red eye road trip - my friends Rob and Megan from Australia were with us and enjoyed the 6 hour drive. Rolling into Vegas around 4:30am I was so pumped to jump into bed and crash!
These next few weeks will be pretty sweet, lots of riding to do getting ready for the last stop of the Dew Tour. Stay tuned!
