The Exposed Tour Is Coming!

Do you ever wish scootering had it’s own Competition Series? A series of competitions, where there was a point system in effect for every stop on the tour, and at the end of a tour a Series King would be announced? Kind of like Dew Tour?

If you ever wanted a competition series that was not all ran by one person with changes to rules and regulations at each stop, then I think we’re all going to be pleased with what’s to come.

On May 23rd marks the first stop for The Exposed Tour. The Exposed Tour is being coordinated by Dave Ward of DSA and Kimberly Funk of ScooterTees. However, it is a collective effort and is made possible by a large number of companies and sponsors. All of which have met numerous times in the past 6 months to discuss and carefully plan out the details of the scooter tour.

The first stop of the tour is at the familiar Krause Family Skatepark (YMCA) aka The Skatepark where the “SD” competitions have been held. If you are anywhere in the area, or can even get out of town for a few days I would advise getting to this competition. The prizes and point system alone is reason to make it out. This is the first real competition circuit, that will be run correctly, and as a sport we need to get behind that and make sure that this is as successful as possible. So let’s move on to the prizes.

For the competition there will be a Beginner, Intermediate, and Pro division.

Beginner Division 1st-3rd place riders will receive a trophy and a collection of parts from all the sponsors involved with The Exposed Tour.

Intermediate Division 1st-3rd place riders will receive a trophy and a collection of parts from all the sponsors involved with The Exposed Tour.

Pro Division
1st Place = 800$ Plus a trophy 4th Place = 200$ Plus a trophy
2nd Place = 600$ Plus a trophy 5th Place = 100$ Plus a trophy
3rd Place = 400$ Plus a trophy 6th Place = 50$ Plus a trophy

And every competitor in the competition will be receiving a participation ribbon.


With the hard work from all of the companies that have made this Competition Series possible, I think we owe it to them do our best to get to these stops. They’ve done their part, now we have to do ours, and get out there and ride and promote our sport as best we can. Below are the tour stops for The Exposed Tour. One thing to remember is that this is the West Coast Tour. If all goes well with this first Series, The Exposed Tour will be back to do an East Coast Series, A Midwest Series…and finally crown the best rider in the United States. This is something that has never been done before for our sport. We’ve just never had companies that were so devoted to us and the sport that would do this. Well we have it now, and we gotta make the best of it. Thanks guys. Below are the tour stops.
