Shaun White is going to have a shot at taking the Summer Dew Tour vert championship this year. White said, “After taking a year off, the Dew Tour’s Skate Open is the perfect place for me to kick-off my summer of skating.” The first event is happening June 25-26 at Boston’s TD Garden. Check the above video of SW attempting the 1080 on the vert… That was shot in 2006 and he was close then. Tony Hawk said in our interview he’d seen him land it – will he manage to get it done in a competition this year? Here’s hoping!
