The Toyota Challenge will be held from September 17th to the 20th, 2009 at Salt Lake City in the EnergySolutions Arena. This is stop number four out of five for the entire Dew Tour.

The Dew Tour has been running strong now, and has quickly become one of the biggest and best action sports events on the planet. With 5 stops all across the United States, the Dew Tour should hopefully hit a town somewhere near you, if you live in the States. The competitions feature vert and street skateboarding, BMX and Moto X, concerts, and a festival village. It's a good time.
