Backstage with the 6.0 Golden Ticket
The AST Dew Tour is a massive production, delivering the top action sports, entertainment and, of course, Ryan Scheckler to hundreds of thousands of fans. Besides the events and the free t-shirts, there are tons of things going on behind the scenes. We started thinking about this and thought it’d be cool to give one of the Dew Tour fans a pass to experience all of this on their own. Hence, the 6.0 Golden Ticket. 
The 6.0 Golden Ticket is given away to two kids on both Friday and Saturday of every Dew Tour event, granting the winners unlimited access to all the action behind the scenes. This means Bucky’s autograph, VIP lounges, cameos on TV, going backstage with the bands, eating with the athletes and getting decked out in 6.0 gear. Winners are escorted by their own private bouncer, FMX’er Torin McIntyre. This guy is rough and tough and not afraid to push to the front of the lunch line or snag an autograph from Nate Adams.
Will Dean and Evan Womeldorf won the Baltimore 6.0 Golden Ticket for the first day. First stop, the product room where they were outfitted head-to-toe with a Nike 6.0 kit.
Will and Evan then went to the VIP lounge to watch Sheckler, Ortiz and P-Rod nail their runs in the skate prelims. If that wasn’t close enough to the hottest names in action sports, Thorne led the way to the exclusive athlete lounge, where the athletes hang out before and after their events.
Nike set up iD booths where athletes could design custom shoes, choosing all fabrics, colors and labels on the shoes. Will and Evan created some killer dunks.
Next on the list, Fuel TV’s Dew Underground house, where the duo got to be in the audience and broadcasted nationwide, while Bucky Lasek was interviewed. Bucky stuck around for a few autographs and Thorne insured the Orange Tix winners were in the front of the line.
Saturday’s winners were 7th graders Hunter Alving and Logan Dana, and Peter Gilday. Highlights included: hanging out on the Nike 6.0 Ill-Mobile to man the machine and throw out fluorescent orange shoe laces to fans.
Other highlights include standing behind the Life of Ryan posse, in the friends and family section, for the Skate Park Final, where Scheckler took the title. The crew also recieved a first-hand tour of the NBC compound, to see how the events are produced for television.
Each stop of the Dew Tour will offer a Golden Ticket to a winner and his/her friend on both Friday and Saturday. So make sure to check back here to learn how to win backstage passes. Stay golden.
