Chaz Ortiz - Dew Tour 2010!
After an amazing opening in Boston, MA for the ISF World Championship, Chaz Ortiz showed us why he is the one to beat in this year’s Dew Tour. Chaz exploded onto the scene at 15 years old and took the skating community by storm, placing 2nd overall at his first Dew Tour appearance.
Back in Boston, Chaz received 3rd place honors, proving that this kid means business and is here to stay! Verizon is super stoked to have Chaz on the team and we look forward to all the excitement he’ll bring to this year’s tour.
Look for Chaz at the second skate stop of the Dew Tour: The Wendy’s Invitational in Portland, OR August 12 - 15. Come out and show your support for Chaz. We look forward to seeing you there!

Make It Count Finals!
The Make It Count contest series started in January in
Phoenix and was an 11 stop amateur contest. The overall winner of the contest series received the amazing
opportunity to be the newest addition of the Element Skateboard team! For all of 2010, this competition has
been ridiculous and the level of
skating equally insane.
The final stop of
the tour took place at Element’s own YMCA skate camp in Northern California and
the experience the kids received at camp was nothing short of magical. Being able to skate in such a natural
environment was amazing and the kids that participated will remember this skate
camp forever.
Check out this
amazing edit from the finals!

Mat Rebeaud returns to X-fighters
Moscow was the site for the return of Verizon Wireless FMX
rider Mat Rebeaud. Mat suffered a
severely fractured arm as well as a compressed lung during a training session
at the Red Bull compound back in April 2010. It has been a good chunk of time since Mat had been back on
his bike but he was determined to make an impression his first time back.
Finishing in tenth place probably wasn’t ideal for Mat, a
past grand champion of X-fighters; however there was a certain bit of honor in
his first competition back from the injury.
We are stoked Mat is back on the track and can’t wait until
he’s at 100% because the world of FMX is in for some great surprises! See you then!
