News > Vegas, Baby

Hopefully what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. The Dew Tour Championships are coming to Sin City, and right there in the maelstrom of slot machines and blackjack tables is a crazy race for the vert title. The ramp's getting hoisted by the pool at the Hard Rock, and come this weekend it's game on.

So how's Shaun looking to take the cup? Depends on your perspective. If you're a glass-half-full kind of person things are stellar. He's coming off back-to-back wins on the ramp, and for the first time in Dew Tour history, the Vegas championships will offer a 50 percent increase in points...meaning a win will give the rider 150 points, instead of the usual 100, and so on down the line.

"That's solid," tells Shaun. "I need all the points I can get. It's hard missing an event and playing catch up. If I wasn't injured for the first event I would be sitting pretty nice, I think."

But then if you're a glass-half-empty kinda chap, Shaun's got a lot of work ahead of him. For Shaun to win the cup PLG would need to place an unlikely dead last and Bucky and Andy would have to place no higher than fourth.

One way or the other, Vegas is going to be interesting...it always is.
