Who to Watch at Dew Tour 2021 International Athletes WHO TO WATCH AT DEW TOUR 2021 INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES WOMEN Lizzie Armanto (FIN), Park Raised in Santa Monica, Calif. but born with dual citizenship in the U.S. and Finland, Armanto is representing Finland on her competitive road to Tokyo 2020. She is not only seasoned as a Park competitor but also as a skater earning parts in some of the hottest skate films including Birdhouse’s “Saturdays” and “Fire.” As the 2019 Dew Tour second place finisher, Armanto currently travels the world getting clips, winning contests and proving that women’s skateboarding is on the rise. She is also a newlywed, having married Belgian skateboarder Axel Cruysberghs, on October 16, 2020. https://www.instagram.com/lizziearmanto Sky Brown (GBR), Park Sky Brown was born and raised in Japan, but has dual citizenship through her British father. Sky began skating and surfing at age two and quickly became a phenomenon when her short videos on YouTubegained millions of views. In the fall of 2018, Sky became the first-ever winner of U.S. network ABC’s competition show, “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.” She has been featured on numerous talk shows including Steve Harvey, Pickler & Ben, Little Big Shots, amongst others. Sky is also an ambassador of non-profit Skateistan, an organization that empowers kids through education and skating. Also an avid surfer, Sky splits her time between England, Japan and the U.S. https://www.instagram.com/skybrown/ Aori Nishimura (JPN), Street Known for her prowess on skating rails, not only does Aori Nisimura have the earned street cred, she is proven in contests. In 2017, she came and conquered with a kickflip to intro her run X Games followed by about nearly eight unique rail tricks in order to win Gold. She returns to Dew Tour after taking fifth in 2019. She is a strong contender in Tokyo with a current third place world points ranking. https://www.instagram.com/aori_nishimura/ Misugu Okamoto (JPN), Park Misugu Okamoto, a native of Aichi Prefecture, Japan, picked up skateboarding at the age of eight and quickly progressed as a regular-footed vert/park skater, earning medals as she competed. It didn’t take Okamoto long to start competing alongside the best skateboarders in the world. In 2018, she picked up a third place finish at the 18th Asian Games Japan Women’s Park Championships. She took home first place at Dew Tour in 2019 at the age of 12. She is ranked first in points in the world heading into Dew Tour 2021. https://www.instagram.com/misugu0228 Pamela Rosa (BRA), Street It’s been said that luck is when opportunity meets preparation. In the case of Pamela Rosa, it holds true. She was lucky enough to have an indoor skatepark open up near her house the week she started skating, but that luck would mean nothing without the drive, determination and sheer talent to back it up. Rosa will come into this year’s Olympic qualifier as reigning champion from the last two Dew Tour events (2018 and 2019) and the current world points leader in Street. https://www.instagram.com/pamelarosaskt/ MEN Pedro Barros (BRA), Park There are certain skaters, whose skating must be seen to be believed. Pedro Barros is one of those skaters. Hailing from Florianopolis, Brazil, Barros brings an intensity to any spot he drops in on, going faster, farther and bigger than everyone before him. He hones his craft in his private compound, and gets better every year. One of the judges’ criteria for any skateboarding contest is “Amplitude,” something Barros has in spades, much like in snowboarding. Barros draws his influence from skaters that are a mixture of aggressive and stylish—and it shows. https://www.instagram.com/pedrobarrossk8/ Aurelien Giraud (FRA), Street The unknown kid from Lyon, France, who came from behind to win Tampa Pro in 2015 is now notoriously known worldwide. Aurelien Giraud has since gone on to stand above numerous podiums, including Dew Tour, where he made his debut appearance in 2019 with a first-place finish at the first-ever Olympic qualifying event for the sport. https://www.instagram.com/aureliengiraud/ Kelvin Hoefler (BRA), Street No stranger to the contest circuit, Kelvin Hoefler has been ripping up the underground for years. Back in Brazil, he won his first contest at the age of nine. Since then, he’s only gotten better. He knows what it takes to take home a trophy, and he’s not afraid to go big, even if it means taking a slam along the way. When he’s not in the parks or on podiums, he can be found in the streets shooting video film parts. https://www.instagram.com/kelvinhoefler/ Yuto Horigome (JPN), Street If there’s ever any proof that skateboarding is a universal language all its own, it’s Yuto Horigome. Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Yuto’s skating is a shocking combination of massive rails and gaps and hyper-balanced flip-in, flip-out ledge wizardry. Although he’s still young, his skating has drawn the attention of Nike SB, April skateboards and others. He is currently ranked second in the world leading into Tokyo. https://www.instagram.com/yutohorigome Keegan Palmer (AUS), Park Keegan Palmer was born in San Diego but has lived in Australia for most of his life and has dual citizenship. Keegan’s tricks are a solid mix of rarely seen, such as the BurnTwist, and classic tricks like Madonnas or spinning under 720. In 2016, Palmer took Amateur honors winning the Combi Pool Classic Under 15. Then in 2017, he took home a handful of Am bowl titles, including that of Dew Tour Long Beach. He went Pro in 2018 and became a full-fledged threat, with a win at Bondi Bowl-A-Rama, Gold Coast Bowlzilla and the Vans Park Series stop in Oceania, then a third place win at Dew Tour in 2019. https://www.instagram.com/keeganpalmer/.

  • Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest
    etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest Stephen Kelly, Editor Photo by Guy Nelson Lake Forest, Calif., pop. 78,000, packs 6,274 people per square mile into this most densely populated city in south Orange County. Incorporated in Dec. 1991, the city has expanded to encompass the communities of Foothill Ranch and Portola Hills. The “Lake” in the city name is really two artificial lakes around which are built custom homes and condos. The forest part is what is left over of 400 acres of eucalyptus trees planted in the 1900s by a landowner for a lumber operation. Historic photo—Sat. Dec. 13, 2003, grand opening of the free public etnies Skatepark, Lake Forest, Calif., south Orange County. The city spearheaded the park. SITE Design Group of Solana Beach, Calif. designed the skate surfaces, California Skateparks of Ontario, Calif. constructed it and the Rabben/Herman Design Office of Newport Beach provided the landscape architecture. The major financial sponsor of the skate park, etnies, manufactures skateboard shoes and clothing. Photo courtesy of Rabben/Herman Design Office The Birth of a Skate Park Based on citywide recreation surveys by Lake Forest, residents indicated a skate park was the top recreation priority. Just about everywhere you go in Southern California you’ll see kids on skateboards, often on the sidewalks, or at office parks or just about any hard surface. These spaces often prohibit skateboarding, and so it’s important they have a place to go, to practice their skills, have fun and just hang out. To design and construct the skate park, the city created a public-private partnership with etnies, a manufacturer of skateboard shoes and clothing that had recently relocated to Lake Forest.

  • Steve Rowland Actor, Singer, Columnist, Recording Producer, Author
    Steve Rowland Actor, Singer, Columnist, Recording Producer, Author Born in Hollywood, actor, singer, columnist, author and record producer Steve Rowland grew up in Beverly Hills during the Golden Age of Hollywood. His father was film director Roy Rowland, his mother Ruth was a scriptwriter and the niece of Louis B. Mayer of MGM fame. Steve almost "naturally" began an acting career in the 50s, starring in over 35 TV shows like “Bonanza”, “Wanted Dead Or Alive” and a two year role in “The Legend of Wyatt Earp”. His first film appearance was at 11 year's old in MGM's "Boy's Ranch", singing Darling Clementine in the campfire scene. Film appearances included co-starring roles in “The Battle of the Bulge” with Henry Fonda and Telly Savalas, “Gun Glory” with Stuart Granger and Rhonda Fleming, “Crime in the Streets” with John Cassavetes and Sal Mineo, and the original “The Thin Red Line” with Keir Dullea and Jack Warden. These were also the years when as a member of "Hollywood royalty" Steve was inspired to write monthly columns for the popular fan magazines, The View From Rowland’s Head being the most famous, as he mingled with the stars and starlets of the time : Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Natalie Wood, Tuesday Weld, Kathy Case, Carmen Phillips to name a few. And with his all-time friend Budd Albright, he hit the music scene with the group "West Coast Twist Kings", and with Earl Bostic he performed in the "Ringleaders". The lure of ‘the swinging sixties’ soon brought Steve to London where he produced records for the Fontana label.

Since then, SLS has evolved to become a platform that serves to excite the skateboarding community, educate both the avid and casual fans, and empower communities through its very own SLS Foundation. In support of SLS’ mission, Nike SB joined forces with SLS in 2013 to create SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2014, the SLS Super Crown World Championship became the official street skateboarding world championship series as sanctioned by the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF). In 2015, SLS announced a long-term partnership with Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) to create a premium global qualification system that spans from amateur events to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship. The SPoT partnership officially transitions Tampa Pro into becoming the SLS North American Qualifier that gives one non-SLS Pros the opportunity to qualify to the Barcelona Pro Open and one non-SLS Pro will become part of the 2017 World Tour SLS Pros. Tampa Pro will also serve as a way for current SLS Pros to gain extra championship qualification points to qualify to the Super Crown. SLS is now also the exclusive channel for live streaming of Tampa Pro and Tampa Am. This past March, SLS Picks 2017, Louie Lopez, took the win at Tampa Pro, gaining him the first Golden Ticket of the year straight to Super Crown.
