Gumbie competed at the Open Qualifiers of the AST Dew Tour


Gumbie competed in the Open Qualifiers at the AST Dew Tour skate park competition this past Thursday in his home town of Baltimore, MD. After completing several radio show interviews and a couple on air interviews for the local news channels, Gumbie laid down a formidable run on the Dew Tour skate park course and finished in the top half of all the skaters present that day. Just missing the mark for the semifinals, Gumbie headed out with another Fuel TV filmer for a day of shooting local skate landmarks. With the filming lasting a bit longer than expected, Gumbie did not make it to Sonar in time for the Red Bull Mania Mini-Ramp contest, but he and Carleigh did get to dominate the ramp set up in the middle of the bar. Rumor has it that the clean-up crew had to turn the lights off to get them to leave! Saturday, Gumbie checked out the finals with Ju-Tang, took a detour into the Dew Tour Village to stop at the Dew Underground tent where local professional photographer, Geoff Graham, had several shots of Gumbie (and Julian!) on display. Lunch with the ladies and the ever-generous L.E. from Twisted Trees took place at Littla Havanas. Look for Gumbie at the Cleveland stop of the AST Dew Tour July 15-19!
