Dave Mirra on Salt Lake Dew Tour, Interbike and his new clothing brand.
Sunday, September 30th, 2007
Hey everyone, just got back and wanted to let you know what’s been going on lately. I’ll start with Salt Lake City Dew Tour. Man, you know I really rode super hard for this event and everyday in practice felt like I was home. I was doing all of my hard stuff and I even pulled a 1080 in the second day of practice. I really had a good feeling about this stop and the day of prelims I wasn’t even nervous.
I was actually excited to ride and when I was up I fell on two 540 whips. The worst is I did them everyday in practice and never even sketch one. Oh well, I guess over-training can really work for the worst sometimes.
Stop 2. After Salt Lake I went to visit my buddy in St George, Utah. It’s like 4 hours West and on the way to Vegas where I had to be in two days for Interbike. So I hung out for a day in St George then headed to vegas. This turned out to be a long trip and a lot of down time.
The first two days I hung out in the booth at the bike show. I was really stoked on the 08 line we are getting ready to release and overall the show went well. The show ended Friday and then I had two parties to go to and announce my new clothing company “grammar”.
Yes, it’s true. I have a brand of clothing getting released in 08. So, we had a party at Lax the new club in the Luxor and on Sat. we had a party at club Jet in the Mirage. That’s what I call Vegas. Really good time, but now I’m ready to get home.
That’s it for now, talk soon.
