Bucky Lasek Wins Skate Vert in Orlando; White Injured
Oct 22 2007 / Orlando, FLBucky Lasek showed why he was the Dew Cup champ the last two years by taking the PlayStation Pro in Orlando Sunday, but the win came in the shadow of an injury to this year's Dew Cup champ, Shaun White. White was injured while practicing after he had completed his first of three runs. He was knocked unconscious but was eventually able to leave under his own power. He was reportedly diagnosed with a concussion on the scene and, according to Dew Tour officials, he was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Hospital for further tests and observation.
Even with the injury, White ended up in third behind Lasek and Pierre-Luc Gagnon.

Shaun White Takes 1st At The Skate Vert Prelims Of The PlayStation Pro
Published: 6:56 p.m. PT by Me
Though he's already secured himself a Dew Cup win with his showing last month at the Toyota Challenge it seems Shaun White isn't taking a stop off and is still looking to go all out at the PlayStation Pro as Prelims wrapped up today with White scoring a strong 87 to top the field. The fight for second in the Dew Cup race is still going strong though as Pierre-Luc Gagnon holds a thin lead over Bob Burnquist going into the finals. As of now Gagnon looks to be in good position finishing 3rd at the prelims compared to Burnquist finishing 6th, but we're still going to have to wait until the Finals Sunday to see how it all shakes out. Stay tuned for more coverage of Skate Vert at the PlayStation Pro.Skate Vert Prelims Results - Toyota Challenge
