Garrett Reynolds' new company Fiend BMX released a promo video featuring team riders Ty Morrow, JJ Palmere, Colin Varanyak, Kevin Vannauker, and himself. Click on the image below to view the video on their website.

The format has been set, the teams are decided, and the filming is currently underway. This weekend the riders will actually compete against each other, though I should say the teams as opposed to individual riders. The score they earn during the competition will be added to the score they earn from the video parts they film over the week and the grand total will decide who walks away with the big check. Let's check out the teams and what the course looks like for now:

Captain: Garrett Reynolds
Riders: Danny Hickerson, Augie Simoncini
Filmer: Tony Ennis

Captain: Dennis Enarson
Riders: Josh Harrington, Tammy McCarley
Filmer: Christian Rigal

Captain: Brian Kachinsky
Riders: Corey Martinez, Sean Sexton
Filmer: Will Stroud

Captain: Jason Phelan
Riders: Jeremiah Smith, Maxime Charveron
Filmer: Stew Johnson

Captain: Rob Wise
Riders: Pat Casey, Dakota Roche
Filmer: Justen Soule

Blackout Distribution, the distro who will be working with Fiend, posted a preview of the first Fiend frame. The frame is said to be made in the USA, though I can't tell by which manufacturer. The dropouts look a little S&M/Fit-esque. Regardless, click on the photo to view the details on the frame and stay tuned for more from Garrett Reynold's project.

There are a lot of good riders in the street event, such as Garrett's teammate Dennis Enarson who took silver in both park and street... Sound familiar? Probably does, because he took silver in both park and street last year... And he lost to the same riders in both events. I'm sure it doesn't get to him because he just loves riding, especially with Garrett, but we all thought he had gold in park this year. Dakota Roche, however, finally captured X Games hardware by taking third. The course definitely helped Roche get on the podium this year.

Nobody seems to be able to touch Garrett Reynolds, though, whom takes the win by 7 whole points. Two runs of 46 (out of 50) just can not be touched. Coming in fourth place, just missing the podium, is Ty Morrow who was a surprising standout in the X Games. People didn't know if he was the competition type but Ty thinks if I'm gonna ride I'm gonna damn near win. And in 5th place is Jeremiah Smith, a rider more tuned to park who puts together an impressive street display.

I am personally wondering where Corey Martinez and Nathan Williams are. I mean there were definitely some worthy street contestants from BMX legend Van Homan to a true threat to Garrett Reynolds in Sean Sexton, but Martinez and Williams were some of the best additions to the street event and, though seemed to be underscored to most, can really threaten the typical podium names. Check out Garrett Reynolds from the street event:

For 2011, Nike 6.0 completely changed the format for its annual BMX Pro at the Nike US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach. This year combines street and ramps in a weeklong team event combining live jam sessions with three-minute video parts to truly put the riders and course to the test.

"Video parts, for me, are more fun to film," says Nike 6.0's Garrett Reynolds. "Filming a video part truly shows the will of a rider."

Five three-man teams will compete in the BMX Open, and with rails, ledges, and transitions mixed together, the most progressive riders are set to shine. The teams will ride the course Monday through Friday, and their team filmer will capture the action to create the best video part possible. Then on the weekend, the teams will compete in two live jam sessions. The jam sessions combined with the points they earn from their video part will determine which team takes the title.

"The format and course for Huntington Beach are awesome," adds Nike 6.0's Dennis Enarson. "I couldn't think of a better way to have a contest."

The new video/jam format for the Nike 6.0 BMX Pro is set to produce an incredible summer event, and the five team captains are making sure that their rosters are stacked. Each team captain was chosen for their ability to rip both street and transitions, and their teammates are some of the best riders in BMX. The field is made up of gold medalists and award winning video riders, so the BMX Pro is set to go off. Team rosters are as follows:
