Texting With Dew Leader, Lutzka

By: Tom Morin

Greg Lutzka has the overall ratings lead in Dew Tour Park going into the last stop at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, NV. If he takes it this year it will be his first Dew Tour Championship, and he has been gunning for the title ever since his victory at the season opener in Boston. Along the way he has grabbed two seconds, which have set him nicely atop the tour with an overall score of 280.

As I type this he's at dinner, already in Vegas, so here's a little dinner texting with Lutzka (I have a Droid so I'll type it just how it appears):

Me: So first overall going into the last stop. How are you feeling?

Lutzka: I'm feeling good and supper stoked to be in the running for the Dew Cup. It will be a dream come true to win it this year.

Me: Do you like the overall system this year with the points for each place being upped at the final stop?

Lutzka: Well, it's looking like I will have to take 1st or 2nd to win and that's my focus right now and not much else.

Me: How about the actual contest format?

Lutzka: The format of the contest is cool with one run and then a jam session.

Me: Is it harder to focus at contest in Vegas because of all the distractions?

Lutzka: Vegas has distractions and it's hard to stay focused, but I'm just trying to stay on point until it's over.

Me: Have you seen the course yet?

Lutzka: Not yet, I just got to the hotel, heard it is going to be off the hook.

Me: How have you been preparing for Dew Tour stops this year?

Lutzka: I have just been training on the streets, not much different, just going out there and doing what I love.

Me: You know I'll be at the after party. How's the after party going to go if you win in Vegas at the Hard Rock?

Lutzka: Haha! I'll be there.

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."

Street League..
