You’ve never been to a Dew Tour this extreme, this intense or this…sandy. Come July 21 – 24, the 2011 Dew Tour is debuting its first ever beachfront event in Ocean City, Maryland!
Dew Tour has built its reputation over the past six years as the action sports tour. And with Ocean City being the perfect summer getaway, it was only a matter of time before these two found each other. Where else could the Dew Tour feature its massive BMX park course and vert ramp? Where else could all of your favorite pros like Dave Mirra or Bucky Lasek bring the heat and compete for the coveted Dew Cup? And where else could the first ever skate bowl competition and the first and only Dew Tour surfing contest debut?
That’s right—surfing contest. This is Ocean City after all. And if that wasn’t enough, Dew Tour will be rocking out with a free concert on the beach and holding a free Festival Village. So pack your bathing suits, shades, bikes and boards, and come experience the tour of the summer. Get all of the information: http://dewtouroc.com/.

Funny Poop
· Two men are walking their dogs, a poodle and a German Shepherd.
They decide they'd like to go into a bar for a drink. "But we can't bring our dogs into that bar," says the poodle's human.
"Hey, no problem," says the German Shepherd's owner. "Just watch this.” He pulls out a pair of sunglasses and walks into the bar.
"Hey, no dogs!" yells the bartender.
"But this is a seeing-eye dog," says the German Shepherd's human. The bartender apologizes and shows them to a chair.
So, the poodle owner decides to follow suit, whips out his sunglasses, and walks into the bar. "Hey, no dogs!" yells the bartender.
"But this is a seeing-eye dog," says the poodle's human.
The bartender objects, "Hey, poodles can't be seeing-eye dogs!"
The poodle owner gasps, "Poodle? They told me they were giving me a German Shepherd!"
