This weekend the Dew Tour is in Portland, where we get to see Unit rider Kyle Baldock try to win the 2nd stop of the BMX Park contest, and Cam White make his long awaited return in the 1st stop of the BMX Dirt contest!

There has already been a bunch of qualifying rounds in the lead up to the finals, here is the results so far...

BMX PARK

Kyle Baldock was pre-qualified for tomorrows final, while fellow Unit riders Ryan Guettler and Mini both had to fight it out in qualifiers. Mini had a bit of bad luck and missed the cut, while Guettler stepped up and has proven he is definitely back from the mammoth double shoulder surgery he underwent in 2010. Guettler will be joining Kyle in the finals tomorrow.

BMX DIRT

So far we have only seen the Open Qualifiers for Dirt, but with only a handful of spots available alongside the top guys from last season, the riding was solid! Basically the top guys from OQ are heading through to Prelims tomorrow where they will meet the likes of Cam White, Brandon Dosch and the rest of last years best guys.

Unit riders Jed Mildon, Cam Pianta and Kyle Baldock were all in the mix to earn their spots, and at the end of the day it was Kyle Baldock who once again stood out from the crowd, taking the win in OQ. This is pretty much the exact same result that ended up leading him to victory in the Park discipline last month, so let's see if he can do it all again in Dirt this round.

Jed Mildon and Cam Pianta rode solid and put everything on the line, but at the end of the day it just wasn't quite enough to see them advance, we are seriously stoked to see those guys over there putting it in. Best of luck next time guys.

FINALS

So coming up, you will see the BMX Park Finals go down tomorrow, as well as BMX Dirt Prelims. The top guys from Dirt Prelims will compete in the BMX Dirt Finals the following day. Unit have Kyle and Ryan in the Park finals, while you can expect to see Ryan Guettler, Kyle Baldock, Cam White and Jaie Toohey in the Dirt contest.
