B-B-B-B BIRD IS THE WERD! | DENVER COLARADO, USA | FRIDAY JAN 27
Electric posse rolls deep at the 686 “LIGHTS OUT” SIA boxing party! Don King would have approved as Birdman brought the heat “ROCKY” style in the ring taking the win. Electric’s entourage was on par with a Mike Tyson style roll-out.
Huge props to Electric’s own Bruce Beach for taking the bout in what was easily the best brawl of the night and mad love to Vestal’s Johnny Gheris for fighting the good fight.
Two events, two podiums for Electric’s Devin Logan. She started it off with a huge straight air mute grab, to a left 540 tail, to flair, to big straight air, to alley oop and capped it off with a left 7 for a top score of 86.75 on her second run.
Devin pulled out all the stops to take second place in the Woman’s DEW Tour Pipe Final fresh off a MCL surgery three weeks ago. This is just a small glimpse of what the future holds for this amazing athlete. Great job Devin, the VOLT is super proud of what you just pulled off and we want to wish you the best of luck going in to X Games. Now go to Aspen and wreck shit!
More congratulations to Electric’s Torin Yater-Wallace on a massive win at the 2nd stop of the DEW Tour. Torin was going absolutely huge in what looked like a pretty rutted pipe busting out a huge right side double cork 12 mute grab, left 9 followed by a right dub flair mute to alley oop flat spin and wrapping up with a switch right 9.
Taking the win gives Torin some great momentum heading into X Games starting next week in his hometown Aspen, CO. Great job Torin really stoked for you and congrats on your DEW Tour victory. That was freaking HUGE!
