Craig Mast put together a quick edit with Josh Perry, but regardless of what equipment you're using edits are made or broken in the riding itself... And damn did Craig make this amazing. I really liked the 180 t-bog. Not many can backpedal after hitting a box jump...

Apparently DC wants to build a bigger BMX program. If adding nine riders to the pro team points to something like that. The riders are Ryan "Biz" Jordan, Brad Simms, Kelly Bolton, Alfredo Mancuso, Craig Mast, Anthony Napolitan, Mike "Hucker: Clarke, Jeremiah Smith, and former Etnies rider Brett Banasiewicz. Some are former flow/am DC riders and some are completely new guys, but this move is huge no matter what. 9 riders. Getting paychecks that they may not have been getting before. (Here's a photo of most of the original DC guys.)

Red Bull knows just watching dudes ride normally is pretty much boring... So watch them do it on a boat!

The 2010 Nike 6.0 HB BMX Pro goes down like this... 10 dudes rode Thursday and the top 5 of them advance to Saturday. 10 dudes rode Friday and the top 5 of them go Saturday as well. The overall top 5 from last year automatically advance to Saturday (semifinals) so all in all 15 dudes ride against each other Saturday. The top 10 advance to Sunday which is finals. That's where the money is at ladies and gentleman... So!

Saturday, these are the semifinals where 5 dudes will get cut from the total 15 to make up the 10 riders for finals Sunday. Continuing his come up in the game, Jeremiah Smith is giving the judges exactly what they want and was the only rider to break 90 points in the semifinals. Daniel Dhers took 2nd, Brett Banasiewicz 3rd, Craig Mast 4th, and Pat Casey 5th. The young guns are clearly making a statement here with almost every top 5 qualifier being under 20.

Sixth place in the semis went to Dennis Enarson. Ryan Nyquist trucked his way to 7th. Garrett Reynolds qualified 8th. And Brandon Dosch and Ryan Guettler tied for the last qualifying spots for finals, 9th and 10th. The riders are ready, the course is set, and the money is burning in these dudes' minds. $85,000 prize purse up for grabs.

Thursday, Garrett Reynolds had to up his game for not being in the top 5 last year and get first in his qualifying round. Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Dosch tied for second so who cares both those dudes got in to Saturday. Craig Mast and golden child Brett Banasiewicz also made the cut on day one for semifinals. You know Garrett brought the barspins, Jeremiath brought the supermans, Brandon brought the big a$$ airs, Craig brought the frontflip flairs, and Brett brought everything plus a white, shiny smile.

Friday, Dennis Enarson had to prove himself like Garrett Reynolds by placing first in qualifying. Mike Clark (HUCKER) came second, Mark Webb third, young gun Pat Casey fourth, and Allan Cooke fifth. Dennis went crazy like any other day in his life. Hucker brought that hometown hero style for miles. Mark Webb brought more lip tricks and tech than anybody else. Pat Casey brought the bangers to make a name for himself. And Allan Cooke proved being a brand manager for Haro hasn't taken time away from his riding. All these dudes made it to semifinals Saturday.
