Guerreiro: The Tiago Lemos Story Premiere

Dew Tour premiere of Mountain Dew's Greenlabel documentary "Guerreiro: The Tiago Lemos Story" on Friday, July 22. This short documentary tell the rise to fame of Lemos, who is as talented as they come on the skateboard but faced the challenge of coming from a poor Brazilian family.
Before the fans got to see the movie, Lemos and friends representing a surprise post Guerreiro screening of "We Are Blood: Bonus Edit", a collection of extra footage from We Are Blood.
Between movies, a lucky fan won a Lemos skateboard, getting to meet him as well.
Guerreiro was short but to the point. It's a good reminder that talent can get you a long way, but it's also got to do a lot with luck and who you know, but it's good to know that not all of the skating world is full of privileged kids. The extra footage from Blood was amazing. Cut the talking and replace it with more tricks being pulled, and that's what you get, all those hours of footage shot had to go somewhere, and here they were! The sound of the crowd cheering after every completed run, the clapping, the emotion that run in the theatre was intoxicating, this is the way to see films, with an audience that enjoys what's on the screen and that's what we got to experience this night.
We Are Blood is already available on DVD, and for more info on Guerreiro:

Fans waiting patiently for the Tiago Lemos signing.

Posters of the film were provided for the signing.

DEW TOUR LONG BEACH 2016

 Dew Tour is back, so get ready for some skateboarding action this weekend!
The Dew Tour is a yearly Mountain Dew sponsored skateboarding competition happening in Long Beach right now.
Dew Tour brings top, up and coming talent and, with Los Angeles losing X Games a few years back, this is the best chance fans of the sport have to see their favorite athletes compete.
Leaving Downtown L.A., Dew Tour chooses Long Beach for their events, getting a bigger space at the Long Beach Convention Center for the expected big crowds.
The best thing of Dew Tour is that it's FREE for all!

Aside from the competition side, there are things to do if, say, one isn't a big fan of skateboarding (but, really, you gotta give it to the athletes, they give it their all out there!), like the Dew Tour VR Experience, where you get to paint in a VR setting, as well as fly a drone in POV!
Many of the sponsoring companies give out shirts and prizes, so there's fun to be had for everyone!

The Long Beach Convention Center is located at 300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802
