Tough Year For Dave Dillewaard
Words and photos: Colin Mackay
2008 has been a year Dave Dillewaard would rather forget.
After breaking his left wrist in February and getting surgery at the end of March, He rode for 2 weeks and broke his left elbow at the X-Games in LA requiring another surgery.
He got to ride for 2 weeks in October and received a wildcard spot for the final Dew Tour stop in Orlando and crashed on dirt breaking 2 bones in his left hand and will be on the bench for a further 6 weeks. He hopes to be riding again around December 1st.
Dave recently moved from Corona, California to Greenville, North Carolina for a fresh start and new scene.
He plans to visit his family in Australia over Christmas and return to Greenville in 2009.
Hopefully by then his bad luck will make a turn for the better.
Dave recently re-signed a deal with GT Bikes, he remains on the Famous Stars and Straps, Demolition, and 661 teams. Dave is also getting flow from Electric and Etnies.

He still has a rad part in End Seach. Harrington has one of the best enders of all time - if you dont own it by now go buy 5 copies to make up for it.
