Over on the other side of the pond better known as the Atlantic, a huge skateboard tour organised by Mountain Dew is doing the rounds and placing some of the sports biggest names head to head for some mad competition time.

Now, if you considered these events like a skateboarding Who wants to be a millionaire? Then the smart money is on the Kickflip Kid Ryan Sheckler. Ryan has yet to phone a friend to step in for him or offer a simple 50-50 instead of all the crazy kickflip boardslide business he’s been dishing out.

Ryan just won the third comp (he won the previous two too!), and is looking to win the fourth and final comp of the Dew Tour. The next generation is no joke!

Belgium really isn’t all that far from the UK, and in the last 6 months the land of Mussels and Beer has been seriously spreading a lot of ‘Crete.

A new street plaza thing with a bit of quirky transition is currently getting trowelled up by visiting Team Payne heads and locals in Antwerp (Holla back to the good ol’ contest days, eh?). Whilst further north on the Coast, Osstend has just released plans for a sick bowl park with cradle and full pipe details to boot.

The park will be situated in the OG spot a.k.a. the Velodrome (C.f. Antiz Antizipated fun park skit).

This year’s LG Action Sports Tour went off in Paris.

Etnies rider Tobias Albert smacked it to secure first place in street, whilst fellow Etnies rider Juergen Horwarth went straight to pole position in vert.

UK hotshots, Chris Oliver and Ross McGouran both scored heavily in the street comp placing second and fourth respectively.

The Works skatepark in Leeds is like the Las Vegas Caesar’s Palace when it come to raking the celebs in.

In true Sinatra style for one show only, the Nike SB US team will be strutting their stuff around the wooden playground on Sunday October 8th.

Confirmed riders so far are Paul Rodriguez, Brian Anderson, Wieger Wan Wangeningen, Daniel Shimizu, Stefan Janowski and the UK contingent too.

Whilst the skaters in Crewe get first dibs at a new skate plaza, the Manchurian locals get no love from security and undercover cops at the premier street spot, Urbis (The one with the round three blocks and long ledges).

Will Joe Gavin have to take his brand new pro model on The Harmony elsewhere..? Hopefully not.
