Let's get down to business. This is the last stop. Dew Tour Orlando has a lot riding on it, even some extra things thrown in... read on.

TJ Ellis with three fans. This needs to change...


Rumors:
Dan's Comp is noted to be raising money with the Athlete Recovery Fund at Dew Tour Orlando so support those who support the well being of our favorite riders!

Ride BMX also stepped up to the plate and offered up $5,000 to the best trick at Dew Tour Orlando. I'm not sure if this is specific to dirt or park, etc. I think it is just the whole entire event. Best trick. Anything goes. Make money make money...

Also, BMX heads on twitter have been raving about Dave Mirra's bet to Daniel Dhers. Apparently, Mirra gave $5,000 to Dhers to go brakeless for the Orlando event. If Dhers prefers brakeless he owes Mirra the 5 g's, but if he goes back to brakes Mirra pays up. Maybe I'm wrong. I think Mirra just gave him 5 g's and expects Dhers to not do as well so he can beat him in the event and win in the long run by earning more money through the contest. Regardless! I am stoked to see Dhers go brakeless... let's see how this turns out...

Jamie Bestwick... de ja vu?


The Points Battle:
As always I start with vert. Simply because it is rather easy to predict. So the only way Jamie Bestwick will lose the 2009 Dew Tour vert title is if he doesn't compete pretty much. If he competes and doesn't win first at Orlando he'll probably still take the overall tour win. However, as far as I know he will compete, he will win, and he will have swept another Dew Tour by winning first place every single event. MONEY! The race for second is between Steven McCann, Chad Kagy, and Simon Tabron is he can pick up his game in this event.

Look at Ellis' face... exactly...


I am kinda bummed to say that Ryan Nyquist may win the Dew Tour dirt title this year. He is a great rider and he has done a lot for the sport and I respect the hell out of him but the riders sitting in sport 2, 3, 4, and 5 will have been robbed if they can't beat Nyquist. Last event's dirt competition was truly upsetting as TJ Ellis had one of the best dirt runs we've ever seen. Nyquist did 360s with barspins on about every set and won...

Dave Mirra doesn't practice. He just envisions the win...


Ugh, let's move on to park. So we have this trifecta of BMX dominators. Garrett Reynolds sits on top. Dave Mirra is behind him by 22 points. And Daniel Dhers is behind Mirra by 20 points. Daniel Dhers can actually take them all down with a first place win but if they finish in 2nd or 3rd places they can still beat Dhers on points for the tour win. So Reynolds is favored to win and if he keeps killing it as usual this one could be in the bag. But Mirra and Dhers are NEVER EVER to be counted out. They have tricks up their sleeves like no other BMX rider I've seen before.

"Pearly Whites" will go brakeless for probably the first time this weekend...


THIS IS IT FOLKS! The last stop... Let's raise some money for our fallen athletes, see some crazy/wild tricks for a $5,000 prize, witness the outcome of the Mirra/Dhers bet of brakes vs. brakeless, watch Bestwick sweep yet another Dew Tour vert title, and witness the battle to beat Nyquit on the dirt course. It's Dew Tour Orlando 2009 people... let's party!

Mr. Everything, simply sitting on top of the game...
