The Dew Tour slopestyle preliminaries wrapped up about an hour ago and we now have our list of riders headed to the finals tomorrow. Unfortunately, our homestate boy, Yale Cousino, missed the cutoff by 2 places (only the top 9 finishers qualify for finals). He landed solid tricks in the top half of the course on both his runs but had trouble on the last two booters.

On the women’s side, the top 5 finishers are headed to the finals tomorrow.

Don't look Yale Cousino's pants directly in the eye. They don't like that.
