KYLE BALDOCK WINS SECOND CONSECUTIVE DEW TOUR DIRT EVENT IN PORTLAND
Salad Days

August 2014 – Portland, Oregon – Monster Energy is proud to congratulate team rider Kyle Baldock for dominating the Dew Tour Dirt Session and teammate Kevin Peraza for taking third.

The unique event forgoed the typical “one- run counts” format, opting for a 30-minute jam session where riders would have to lay down three solid runs to even be considered for a top five finish. Baldock dominated in usual fashion with no issues, firing out his very first run absolutely perfect: a backflip barspin-to-no-hander over the first jump, a 360 double tailwhip-to-barspin on the second, and a double tailwhip-to-barspin on the quarter. From there it was a barrage of 720 barspins, 360 flips, a 360 downwhip-to-whip back, and even a very unexpected flair drop-in on the quarter. He laid down so many wild tricks that it was clear to pretty much everyone that he’d be taking the Dew Cup home to Australia yet again.

Immediately after the event, Baldock was a mile a minute, psyched on the format, and hyped to share the podium with Monster teammate Kevin Peraza. “The three runs…you couldn’t just go out there, do one good run, and think that you had it,” said Baldock. I think that’s an amazing way to do it! But, Peraza man, he’s on another level. He has a style that I would want and it’s amazing to just ride next to him.”

IL RIDER MONSTER ENERGY KYLE BALDOCK VINCE IL SECONDO EVENTO DIRT CONSECUTIVO DEL DEW TOUR A PORTLAND

Agosto, 2014 – Portland, Oregon – Monster Energy si congratula con il suo team rider Kyle Baldock per aver dominato la Dirt Session del Dew Tour e col compagno di squadra Kevin Peraza per essere arrivato terzo. L`evento unico nel suo genere ha rinunciato al tipico format “one- run counts”, optando per una jam session di 30 minuti in cui i riders dovevano eseguire tre run valide per essere considerati tra i primi 5. Baldock ha dominato come al solito senza problemi, buttando una prima run perfetta: un backflip barspin-to-no-hander sul primo salto, un 360 double tailwhip-to-barspin sul secondo, e un double tailwhip-to-barspin sul quarter. Da lì c`è poi stato un 720 barspins, 360 flips, a 360 downwhip-to-whip back, e anche un inaspettato flair drop-in sul quarter. Ha chiuso talmente tanti tricks impossibili che era chiaro ormai a tutti che avrebbe portato la Dew Cup in Australia di nuovo. Subito dopo l`evento, Baldock era gasatissimo per il nuovo format, ed era contento di dividere il podio con il suo compagno del team Monster, Kevin Peraza. “Le tre run…non puoi solo uscire, fare una bella run, e pensare che ce l`hai fatta,” ha detto Baldock. “penso che sia una figata farlo così! Peraza è su un altro livello. Ha uno stile che vorrei avere io, ed è pazzesco girare con lui.” Il Dew Tour a Portland è stato un attimo per Baldock, ma Peraza ha continuato a girare nell`evento di Streetstyle dove è arrivato al sesto posto.
