Check out this video. Do you recognize the guy with the grey shirt? You remember that grey shirt? Yep, that’s right.

The Dew Tour is a competitive skateboarding competition series that has 5 stops across the country. This year, the first stop is in Boston! The Boston stop will also serve as the International Skateboarding Federation’s World Skateboarding Championship. Besides the title of Dew Tour Champion and receiving the Dew Cup, there is $2.5 million available in prizes. This is the premiere tour for professional athletes. The competitions will be broadcast live on NBC Sports, and distributed on MTV, MTV2, USA Networks as well as other channels like Fuel TV. But you really want to be at the tour if you can. Besides the actual competition, there is a Festival Village with concerts, interactive booths and tents, demos, and opportunities to meet the athletes.

* The contest will run for 3 months, with 1 winner per month.
* Submissions end one week before the end of the month.

* Must be an original picture.
* You must provide us with a link to your blog, the image on Flickr, etc., with the link to our site as noted above so we can verify the link.
