And the new Mountain Dew tour seems to be thriving. (Why can’t gymnasts get anywhere near this kind of prize money?)

Right Guard Open – July 19-22 – Cleveland, Ohio
Vans Invitational – Aug. 16-19 – Portland, Ore.
Toyota Challenge – Sept. 20-23 – Salt Lake City, Utah

… the ASPT Dew Tour, the Action Sports Pro Tour, debuted in June 2005, and consists of five major, multi-sport events with a cumulative points system, a $2.5 million competitive purse – the largest in action sports – and an additional $1 million bonus pool based upon year-end standings.
… The Tour features skateboarding (park and vert), BMX (park, vert, and dirt) and freestyle motocross, and at season’s end, the Tour awards champions in the six disciplines with the Dew Cup.
The ASPT Dew Tour name comes from the name of Mountain Dew, the Tour’s title sponsor.

[...] Yet our profile is small time compared with skateboarding. [...]
It’s a lot harder to do gymnastics in terms of cost and coaching. Anyone can get a skateboard and play with it in an unstructured way. It’s just one of the things where gymnastics is at a disadvantage to other sports. It’s also not a “life sport”.
