FANS got to watch skateboarders from Manila, Laguna, Davao and Cebu do the various tricks of skateboarding over the weekend in the Dew Tour Am weekend at the Circuit Makati.
Among the participants, 17-year-old Margelyn Vidal of Cebu got to rub elbows with the best of the best in the country.
“The tricks. You have to be consistent with your tricks to be able to win this,” said Vidal before the start of the competitions.
Skateboarders needed to impress the judges on how to do the flips, grinds, the slides and the ollies.
The winners will win a trip to the Dew Tour USA, which is one of the biggest and most awaited events for skaters around the world.
Pepsico Flavors Category manager Kaye Paras said their partnership with the local skateboarding made such an activity possible.
“It’s a global contest that brings together the best skaters around the world, and we’ve partnered with the local community with this,” said Paras.
The faceoff at the Circuit Makati brings together the best Manila skaters and the winners of the three elimination events called Dew Tour Boot Camps.
The camps took place in Laguna, Cebu and Davao, and this year marks the first time that Mountain Dew hosted the boot camps for skaters outside Metro Manila.
This time around, pro skaters Thetis Beaseley, Chris Colour and Remo Pearson were around to show their support to the local community.
