MIKE SPINNER, BMX STAR, SPINS INTO CLEVELAND TO GREET FANS AND SATISFY HIS HUNGER FOR EXTREME SPORTS AT THE DEW TOUR

WHAT: Mike Spinner, a hot new BMX star athlete, will meet and greet extreme sports enthusiasts and sign autographs at the Ball Park tent in the Dew Tour Village when the Dew Tour comes to Cleveland. The Dew Tour is a pro action sports tour that features skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross competitions over the course of four days. In addition to meeting Spinner at the Ball Park tent, extreme sports enthusiasts at the Dew Tour can satisfy their hunger for extreme sports by taking the Ball Park challenge - they can test their speed on the Hunger Bungee Run, play the Hunger Challenge arcade arm wresting game to show some muscle or attempt to be the Hungriest Dude at the Hunger Dude High Striker. WHO: Spinner, a 19 year-old BMX phenomenon whose name matches his talents, took the freestyle world by storm ever since his professional debut last year - during the final leg of the 2006 Dew Tour, he made history by pulling a tailwhip 720, a trick never before landed in competition by an amateur or a pro. Since turning pro and joining Dave Mirra’s team (Mirraco), Spinner continues to set records, including pulling off the world’s first 1080. WHY: Spinner is one of the hottest athletes at the 2007 Dew Tour and is available for interviews to discuss his BMX career, the ways he satisfies his hunger for extreme sports and his Dew Tour aspirations. As stated in a June 21, 2007 USA Today article, Spinner is “the preseason favorite to win the Dew Cup,” which is awarded after all six Dew Tour events to the athlete with the highest number of points in each of the six disciplines.
