AST Dew Announces 2007 Free Flow Tour Expansion/Schedule
Amateurs to Compete Against the Pros Winners Receive Wildcard Entry into Final Dew Tour Stop

NEW YORK, April 4 /PRNewswire/ — The AST Dew Tour today announced the complete 2007 Free Flow Tour schedule. The Free Flow Tour is the official amateur series of the AST Dew Tour and provides amateur athletes the prospect for professional sponsorship and recognition by the pros. The Free Flow Tour kicks off June 2 in Dallas, Texas and will cross the country hitting all of the hot-spots within the action sports scene.
In 2007, the Free Flow Tour will expand to include a total of 21 skate competitions (five skate vert and 16 skate park) and 18 BMX competitions (five BMX vert and 13 BMX park) at local parks across the US. The top skate and BMX finishers in each of the 39 competitions will be flown to the AST Dew Tour’s PlayStation® Pro in Orlando, Fla. for the Free Flow Tour Finals on October 18 – 21, where one champion will be crowned in each discipline. Encompassing the ‘Flow to Pro’ theme, the overall skate and BMX park champions and the overall skate and BMX vert champions win a wild card spot to compete against the pros at that AST Dew Tour stop.

“Young amateurs need a competition platform like the Free Flow Tour to be propelled to the next level,” said Wade Martin, President and General Manager of the AST Dew Tour. “A great deal of talented riders are flying just under the radar; town by town, the Free Flow Tour will discover this next set of pro athletes for the action sports world.”

2006 competition HighlightS

Arguably the most spirited Free Flow Tour season in history, the 2006 competition series came to a close at Free Flow Tour Finals hosted at the 2006 Vans® Invitational in Portland, OR, crowning the much deserved first place titles to Mike Spinner of Miami, FL (BMX Park) and David Loy of Orange, CA (Skate Park). History was made during the 2006 Free Flow Tour BMX Finals when Spinner pulled a tailwhip 720, a trick never before landed in competition, by an amateur or a pro.

Both Spinner and Loy went on to face the world’s best in competition last October at the final stop on the Dew Tour – the PlayStation® Pro in Orlando, FL. Spinner qualified in an amazing first place in Prelims against such riders as Ryan Nyquist and Dave Mirra; while David Loy went up against pros such as Ryan Sheckler and Greg Lutzka finishing fourth in Prelims and a respectable ninth in Finals.

Both have developed numerous sponsorship deals as a result of the Free Flow Tour, truly encompassing the ‘Flow to Pro’ theme for the Free Flow Tour. Loy went on to skate in a JEEP advertisement featuring Tony Hawk and in February 2007, Spinner lived up to his name, making history at a contest in New Zealand by pulling the first ever 1080 to be landed in competition.

2007 ‘Jam’ Format

The Free Flow Tour park competitions are operated in a ‘jam’ format, which is an open forum for all skaters and riders to compete together within their respective sport-specific session. Targeting spectator engagement, the jam- style arrangement encourages the biggest airs and most technical footwork from the competitors.

Local accomplished skaters and riders and select celebrity riders and skaters will lead each event’s judging panel. Based upon the crowd reaction and judging specifics, skaters and riders are ranked according to their individual presence during the jam.

2007 Registration

Each competition is open to both male and female amateur competitors age 18-and-under for skate and 21-and-under for BMX. Contest registration forms are available at Free Flow Tour host parks and at www.freeflowtour.com. There is an entry fee that varies park to park, and all participants under the age of 18 must bring a parent or guardian to the event to sign a liability waiver. All competitors take home Free Flow Tour giveaways and following some contests there are post-event parties with autograph sessions, free gear and much more.

SnoCountry Reports Latest Skiing Conditions Information
Sunday November 19, 7:04 am ET

LEBANON, N.H., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ — Following are the latest skiing conditions information as supplied by SnoCountry Mountain Reports as of Sunday, Nov 19 2006, 6:03:52 AM EST
Alpine Skiing/Riding conditions are subject to change due to weather, skier traffic and other factors. Be aware of changing conditions.

SNOW CONDITION DEFINITIONS & TERMS
This glossary of terms is used by all ski areas when they report to SCR. The code allows for communication with skiers in a universal language.

NOTE: The standard abbreviations next to each definition reflect the way ski reports are communicated in print (newspapers).

New Snow: Natural snowfall which has fallen in the past 24 hours or continuously for more than one day. An average accumulation from summit to base is reported.

Average Base Depth: An average of the high and low amounts of snow over the entire ski area. Machine made and natural snow amounts are combined.

Primary Surface Condition: The type of snow condition which covers at least 70 percent of the terrain open to skiers.

Secondary Surface Condition: The next most prevalent snow conditions, covering at least 20% of the skiing terrain open to skiers.

Powder-PDR: Cold, new, loose, fluffy, flaky and dry snow which has not been compacted.

Packed Powder-PP: Powder snow, either natural or machine made, that has been packed down by skier traffic or grooming machines. The snow is no longer fluffy, but is not so extremely compacted that it is hard.

Hard Pack-HP: When natural or machine made snow becomes very firmly packed. The snow has never melted and re-crystallized, but it’s been tightly compressed through grooming and continuous wind exposure. You can plant a pole in hard packed snow, but it takes more effort than packed powder.

Machine Groomed Snow-MGS: Loose granular snow that has been repeatedly groomed by power tillers so that the texture is halfway between LSGR & PP. Some of the snow is granular & has been so pulverized that the crystals are like powder sugar. It’s neither LSGR or PP.

Wet Snow-WETSN: Powder or packed powder snow that has become moist due to a thaw or rainfall, or snow which was moist when it fell.

Wet packed Snow-WPS: Natural or machine made snow that has been previously packed and becomes wet usually because of rainfall.

Loose Granular-LSGR: This surface results after powder or packed powder thaws, then refreezes and recrystalizes, or from an accumulation of sleet. This is also created by machine grooming of frozen or icy snow.

Frozen Granular-FRGR: This is undoubtedly the most misunderstood surface condition in ski reporting. It is defined as a hard surface of old snow formed by granules freezing together after rain or warm temperatures. Frozen granular will support a ski pole stuck into its surface while ice will chip away and not support a pole.

Wet Granular-WETGR: Loose or frozen granular snow which becomes wet after rainfall or high temperatures.

Icy-ICE: Not to be confused with frozen granular, ice is a hard, glazed surface created either by freezing rain, ground water seeping up into the snow and freezing or by the rapid freezing of snow saturated with water from rain or melting. Ice will chip away and not support a ski pole when stuck into it.

Variable Conditions-VC: When no primary surface (70%) can be determined, variable conditions describe a range of surfaces that a skier may encounter. Parts of trails can be Loose Granular, partly Packed Powder, and parts Frozen Granular, for example.

Corn Snow-CORN: Usually found in the spring, Corn Snow is characterized by large, loose granules during the day, which freeze together at night, then warm up again and loosen during the day.

Spring Conditions-SC: This is the spring version of Variable Conditions. It is used when no one surface can describe 70% or more of the terrain open for skiers.

Windblown Snow-WBLN: Powder or granular snow which has been blown by wind into forming a base.
