The first-ever Nike 6.0 HB BMX PRO will be touching down south of the infamous Huntington Beach Pier, during the prestigious US Open of Surfing.

The top 10 riders with the most accumulated points will proceed to the finals, vying for the $30,000 cash purse. Automatic invites will go to the top 10 Dew Tour Park riders of 2008, who will collectively vote for 5 additional riders. The final five riders will be chosen by global BMX fans via an online contest hosted by VITALBMX.
