The Second Event Of The 2007 SeasonCLEVELAND, Ohio. - Ryan Sheckler and Ryan Nyquist continued their domination on the AST Dew Tour collecting their second consecutive event titles in Skateboard Park and BMX Dirt competition on Friday, July 20 at the Right Guard Open, the second event on the 2007 AST Dew Tour at Cleveland's North Coast Harbor.
Sheckler, 17, of San Clemente, Calif., distanced himself from the rest of the Skateboard Park field with an average score of 94.00. A duo of Brazilian skaters rounded out the top three with Rodolfo Ramos scoring an 87.92 and Carlos De Andrade earning an 86.17. After two events, Sheckler leads the Skateboard Park tour standings with 200 points, followed by Ramos at 130 and De Andrade in third at 126.
"It feels great to have won two in a row," said Sheckler, the back-to-back Dew Tour champion. "I'm trying to win every event this season, I keep telling people that. I just give thanks to God for keeping me healthy and on the top of my game. I'm looking forward to the next three stops, and hopefully I can win those too. I'm on a mission."
Nyquist of Los Gatos, Calif., completed a flawless final run to overtake Corey Bohan and Luke Parslow of Australia to capture his second event title in as many events. Nyquist finished with a final score of 91.08. Bohan followed close behind at 90.42 and Parslow at 89.67. After two events, Nyquist leads the BMX Dirt tour standings with 200 points, followed by Cameron White at 130 and Bohan in third at 124.
"I'm definitely off to a great start," said Nyquist. "I'm definitely happy. I had kind of a scare in the second run and knew the 720 was a risky move, but I'm glad I was able to pull it off. It was a great competition and we've had some amazing runs this season."
Nyquist noted that he would donate his winnings, $15,000, to the Stephen Murray Recovery Fund to help Murray, who suffered a career-ending injury at the Panasonic Open last month.
The four-day competition is the second of five events of the AST Dew Tour that features skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross. Saturday's action features BMX Park and Skateboard Vert finals, while the Sunday schedule includes Freestyle Motocross and BMX Vert finals.
