FUEL TV, Australia’s only 24-hour dedicated action sports channel, has welcomed the 2010 Dew Tour in style with LIVE and EXCLUSIVE coverage of the Skate Open over the weekend.
In an explosive tour opener, Canadian Pierre-Luc Gagnon took out the skate vert finals and US native Greg Lutzka won the skate park finals at Boston’s TD Garden.
The wins also earned PLG and Lutzka the title of ISF Skateboarding World Champion in their respective disciplines.
Gagnon threw out a huge 540 over the banked wall; back-to-back flip trick variations and a switch heel flip 360, earning a first-place score of 91.26.
“It’s great to win the first stop of the Dew Tour and get a lead on points,” said Gagnon.
“I also know I have better runs in me. So I feel like I can step it up and still skate better than this the rest of the season.”

In the skate park it was Lutzka who held out fellow Dew Tour veterans – Ryan Sheckler and Chaz Ortiz – throwing out multiple 270 variations, including a front 270 noseblunt down the big rail to earn the top score of 88.05.
“I’ve won a Dew Tour stop before but I’ve never won the overall Dew Cup, so my goal will be to stay consistent up until the Championships in Vegas,” said Lutzka.
“There were some new faces out there tonight that raised the level of competition and kept it fresh, so this will be an interesting season.”
FUEL TV’s coverage of the 2010 Dew Tour continues with LIVE and EXCLUSIVE coverage of the NIKE 6.0 BMX Open, the tour’s second stop from Chicago on Sunday, July 26 AEST.
