Nike 6.0 HB BMX Pro = In the books.

By: Teddy Parker

Wow. I initially thought this was to be a big event with the guest list exploding with top names, from Guettler to Dhers to Cranmer to newcomer Andy Buckworth. I didn't think it would go as far as it did, however.

I'm not going to beat around the bush... Ryan Guettler won the damn thing. I'm being so forward because I feel a Guettler comeback was sort of in the makings and it has all been leading up to this day. It was easy to see him progressing more and more and with a double backflip and a huge bag of bangers for this event, he was hands down FOR THE WIN.

Daniel Dhers no doubt took second place. He deserves as much credit as possible for also unveiling new tricks (the CASH ROLL) in the midst of an already insane bag of bangers in this event. Following him closely behind is young gun Andy Buckworth. Andy has apparently been spending too much time with fellow rider Harry Main because he is KILLING IT and pretty much sitting where everybody expected Main to be before he broke his leg.

And behind the above mentioned dudes are riders such as Mike Spinner with his 1080s and too many whips, Scotty Cranmer on his comeback path of whips and flips, Garrett Reynolds holding it down for the more street-oriented riders with barspins and unique lines, and Allan Cooke, Craig Mast, Marcus Tooker, and Diogo Canina.

Props to Nike for putting on a very memorable event and all the riders for making it so...

We have videos on the site so check them out for highlights and of course the brand new, Daniel Dhers' trick, CASH ROLL...
