Cleveland 2008 AST Dew Tour, Part 3

Just a bit more skateboarding news before I switch over to sharing the BMX news from the Dew . . .

The Flying Tomato – Shaun White – wins it all in the vert skate competition (just as he did last year) with an amazing skate run that had the crowd on their feet! White creates excitement wherever he goes and, in 2006, Rolling Stone magazine called him the “coolest kid in America.” Plus, he just won the 2008 ESPY award for Best Male Action Sport Athlete. So it was a real pleasure to watch him nail yet another title.
