The annual summer Dew Tour skateboard competition and festival, to be held May 20-23, 2021 at the brand new Lauridsen Skatepark in Des Moines, Iowa, has opened its ticketing portal via the Dew Tour website DewTour.com.
Dew Tour, celebrating its 16th year and first in Des Moines, will include World Skate sanctioned men’s and women’s skateboarding Street and Park competitions, serving as the only U.S.-based global Olympic skateboard qualifying events for 2021. Skateboarding will make its debut at the Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, which were rescheduled in 2020 for July 23 – August 8, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 300 of the world’s top male and female skateboarders will compete in individual Park and Street events for a chance to win the Dew Tour title, while earning valuable points toward their country’s Olympic skateboarding team. As in the past, Dew Tour competitors exemplify the best in each sport. Competition will take place at Lauridsen Skatepark, an 88,000 square foot custom concrete skatepark built by renowned builders California Skateparks.
