DES MOINES, Iowa — Professional skateboarding is coming back to Des Moines.
The Dew Tour announced Monday they will host a "finals-only" event July 29 & 30 at the Lauridsen Skatepark in downtown Des Moines. It will be free and open to the public.
A press release for the event states:
"A myriad of Olympians are expected to compete at this year’s event, including Lizzie Armanto (FIN), Mariah Duran (USA), Aurelien Giraud (FRA), Nyjah Huston (USA), Aori Nishimura (JPN), Tristan Rennie (USA), Pamela Rosa (BRA), Bryce Wettstein (USA) and many more."
Last May, the Dew Tour stopped in Des Moines and featured skateboarders like Sky Brown, the youngest summer Olympian for Great Britain at just 13 years old.
