Tony Hawk wins Best Trick for his McTwist

The Nike 6.0 BMX Pro debuted a new format for 2011, with a combination live jam and filming contest.

Reigning 10-Time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (Cocoa Beach, FL), 39, has won the 2011 ASP PRIME Nike US Open of Surfing for the first time since 1996, defeating Yadin Nicol (AUS), 26, in a dominant final in two-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at the iconic Huntington Beach Pier.

Today will decide the 2011 Nike US Open of Surfing Champions.

Day one of the Nike 6.0 BMX Pro provided an amazing show for the capacity crowd in HB, and produced some of the most progressive riding in BMX. Five teams competed in eight-minute jam sessions, and the teams that mixed tech and big air options scored the most points.

In addition to the crowning of the ASP Pro Junior Series champions, Quarterfinalists were decided for the men’s ASP PRIME event as well as Semifinalists for final stop on the 2011 ASP Women’s World Title Series, the Women’s Nike US Open of Surfing.
