10/18/05- The Dew Action Sports Tour came to a close this weekend in Orlando, FL.  The Orlando stop was packed with people to see the crowning of 6 Dew Cup winners.  The battle for the FMX Dew Cup came down to Kenny Bartram and Jeremy Stenberg.  Twitch was ahead of Bartram by only 13 points.  Twitch had a slip up in a corner in his first run, and in his second run, the judges felt it was only worthy of 4th place.  Bartram took the win, the Dew Cup, $75,000 and a new Toyota truck.  When will the judges score fairly?  The win should have gone to Adam Jones or Mike Mason. Congratulations to Ryan Sheckler for taking the Skate Park Dew Cup and Athlete of the Year Award. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

10/3/05- Another year another Kawasaki Race of Champions at Englishtown, NJ.  This was my 10th KROC.  Man the years sure have flown by.  Sadly, Jason Lawrence and Ryan Villopoto were both no shows this year.  It sure would have been nice to see the two of them battle it out.  The racing action was still really good between Kyle Chisholm and Robbie Marshall.  In both the 250 and 1250 Pro class, Marshall led Chisholm early on but would eventually subdue to Chisholm.  Chisholm swept both 125 and 250 Pro classes with Marshall finishing second behind him.  Legendary iron man Barry Carsten finished third in both classes.  James Stewart and Michael Byrne were on hand to do a demo on the 2006 KXF250 and 450.  The nationals should be interesting with Bubba on one of those.  Sean Hackley won the Iron Man Classic, Nick Desiderio won the Kessler Cup, and Justin Barcia won the Fox Mini Cycle Shoot Out.  Click the image on the right to view photos from the race.

9/29/05- Hey everyone.  Thanks again for visiting my site.  I have been really busy with school lately and haven't had much time to go shoot and update the site.  I updated my Portfolio page with some of my printed work throughout the summer.  Take a look.  You might not have realized you were looking at a Tedesco Photo!

This weekend I will be heading the Englishtown, NJ for the Kawasaki Race of Champions.  Then I have a birthday weekend off, followed by the final stop of the Dew Action Sports Tour in Orlando, FL.

9/12/05- I finally have 2 seconds to myself now so why not spend that time updating my site.  San Jose Dew Tour was hectic for me since I had to shoot all the sports, then catch a plane right after Skate Park Finals.  I didn't get home till 6am, then I had to go to classes all day long.  I am caught up now and have the FMX photos up.  Click the image on the right to view the gallery.

The course at the 4th round of the Dew Action Sports Tour was rather interesting this time.  It would have been a sick course if there was more room for it.  The jumps were pretty small, and with the high winds during the contest, made it really hard for everyone to pull their tricks.  There were plenty of spills.  Dustin Nowak, Nate Adams, Todd Potter, and Kenny Bartram all went down.  Adams missed the finals because of his crash, and Bartram was unable to finish out the finals.  This left the door wide open for Twitch.  He took his first Dew Tour win and jumped 13 points ahead of Bartram in the points going into the final round.  Adam Jones and Mike Mason also threw down amazing runs finishing second and third.  Orlando sure will be action packed.

8/22/05- I just got back from the Dew Tour Portland stop.  The FMX was held  indoors this time.  The lighting was absolutely horrible in the arena, which made getting good clean shots really hard.  The course was set up just like an IFMA course, 3 dirt landings and a bunch of ramps.  It really leveled the playing field from the past two stops that were on more technical courses.  The win was up in the air since the entire tour is full of IFMA regulars.  Nate Adams and Kenny Bartram went head to head for the win.  Nate fell just .20 points shy of taking out the Cowboy.  Some how I have all the photos done and posted.  185 shots to be exact.  Click the image on the right to view them all.

8/15/05- I thought I would get a little time off after X Games but boy was I wrong. I got back from LA then drove right down to Maryland to Travis Pastrana's house for filming of his new movie Nitro Circus 3.  Some how Travis is still able to come up with new crazy stunts and tricks for his video series.  I did 2 articles and some photos for the Alpinestar website.  Click the links below to get a sneak peak into the filming of Nitro Circus 3.

8/10/05- Well between traveling home and sending stuff out to clients I haven't had much time to get the photos from X Games up. Wait no longer, I just put up photos from Step Up and FMX.  I am still working on Skate Street and Supermoto.  That may take awhile since I am going on another shoot for a few days tomorrow. 

For companies or magazine who maybe interested in shots, I have a bunch more of everyone so don't hesitate to get in touch with me for others. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

8/5/05- Twitch finally did it and won his first X Games gold.  He threw down a flawless flip-whip no footer to one handed lander off the 90 foot dirt hit.  It was the biggest backflip in X Games history.  Pastrana surprised everyone with a crazy front end capable of doing a bar spin.  Too bad the front end broke off before he even hit the ground.  He finished second after putting back on the normal front end and pulling a Backflip saran wrap to no handed lander.  Nate Adams finished third with a flat spin 360.  Chuck was unsuccessful again with the Body varial, taking a hard slam.  He was ok.  Beau Bamburg also took a hard spill when his bike bogged while flipping.  Photos from the Big Air Final can be seen by clicking the image on the right.

8/4/05- Well I am out here in LA for the Summer X Games.  I haven't had a chance to make it over to the Home Depot Center yet to see the FMX course, so that means no practice photos.  I did stop by the Big Air practice.  It was pretty uneventful.  Everyone was getting the flip down.  Travis was doing some cool flip tricks like a Backflip Saran Wrap.  There should be a lot of flip tricks.  It should be interesting to see how Miller's non-flip combos stack up in the bias judges eyes. TP has something sick in store.  It is G14 classified though so you will all have to wait and see.  Chuck is going for the body varial again.  The Big Air Final goes off tonight so be sure to watch it on ESPN live.

I will be running a page throughout the event that I will be updating with photos.  Events I will be shooting are Men's Skate Street, FMX Big Air, Step Up, FMX, Supermoto, and Bike Vert.  Click the image on the right to access the page. Right now there are a few shots from the Big Air practice last night.  Keep checking back for updates!

7/29/05- It sure has been awhile since I have updated the site.  I have been laying low since the Denver Dew Tour, getting ready for the Summer X Games in LA next week.  I will be out there for the entire event shooting everything I possibly can.  I am going to try to do daily updates with photos during the event so be sure to check daily during the 3-7th if you don't already.

A special thanks to everyone who has been visiting my site.  Pass it on to everyone you know.  Traffic has really picked up in the past 2 months.  Here is a Mike Metzger wallpaper I put together of his crash at the Denver Dew Tour. Enjoy!

7/10/05- I'm sitting here at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO.  The FMX competition ended yesterday and I am stuck sitting here until 11:55pm tonight when my flight leaves.  I guess it isn't such a bad thing being stuck here all day with no FMX going on.  I did manage to get all of the photos from this weekend up.

The wind here was really bad.  It always seemed to pick up as soon as the first bike came off the stand.  The final had to be delayed almost 5 hours because of it.  A lot of the riders felt it should have been called after the first round.  It was like Gravity 05 all over again.  Can't say much about the judging.  Twitch won it for sure, but some how the Cowboy stole it from him.  Needless to say Twitch wasn't very happy.  Sadly Twitch will have to wait till Portland to hopefully nail down the first Dew Tour win.

The venue was much better. The event was packed unlike in Louisville.  There were even some good shoot spots this time too.  The city and crowd made for some great backgrounds.  Hopefully Portland is just as good, although the FMX is indoors like an IFMA competition so it should be interesting to see who can nail down the win there.  Click the image on the right to view all 300 photos.

6/28/05- The Gravity Games sure were different this year.  No fans, no banners, no stands, or festival village, just a big FMX course at the bottom of a hill.  Things sure have changed for this event.  The course wasn't the greatest for pulling tricks either.  A lot of the guys had trouble with it.  Makes you wonder if Gravity will be back next year after the obvious drastic cut backs this year.

Bartram finally nailed down a Gravity gold medal.  Twitch finished second after flying in 2 hours before the contest started.  Renner ended up third without the flip.  In Best Trick Renner amazed everyone and took down the flip with his insane upside down whip.  It was bigger then his RacerX cover.  Twitch wasn't to happy about finishing second again after pulling a flip whip no footer.  Check out the gallery of images by clicking the image on the right.

Next up is the Denver, CO round of the Dew Action Sports Tour July 7-10th.

6/22/05- Budds Creek was business as usual for Carmichael.  He easily walked away from the pack in both motos keeping his over-all win streak alive.  The 125/250F class had a lot better racing action.  Brown and Short battled early for the lead, with Brown taking the win.  Josh Grant nailed down his first moto win in the second moto.  Tedesco almost won his first over-all, but Brown was able to work his way up from a bad start to finish 1-3 on the day to Tedesco's 2-2.

Next up is the Gravity Games this weekend at Camp Woodward.

6/4/05- The Dew Action Sports Tour kicked off this past weekend in Louisville, KY.  It seems like it is going to turn out to be a great tour provided it gets some better turn outs and stadiums that allow me to shoot into backgrounds other then condemned stands and ugly old signs.  The course was awesome and really challenging.  It separated the men from the boys for sure.

Travis Pastrana didn't look to be in top form during the prelims, having to qualify from the semi.  Jeremy Twitch Stenberg was riding really well, and after his qualifying run he looked to be the man to beat.  In typical "Wonder Boy" style, Travis put it all together and took the win in the main program.  Twitch finished second followed by Kenny Bartram.  15 year-old Ryan Scheckler took the win in the skateboard park finals.  That kid is damn good!

6/4/05- Here are 6 black and white wallpapers I made from some of my shots from Mt. Morris.  Thanks for the plug on www.racerxill.com Davey!
