2008 NORA Cup Top 5 Nominees

FatTony Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 | 12,611 views |

The following riders for each category were voted by the pros themselves. Each year we send out a mass email to hundreds of pros in our database and ask them to vote for one rider in each category. The top 5 people that receive votes are the riders listed here.

The winners will be announced at what has been the biggest party in BMX for years—the NORA Cup. In case you missed the flyer we posted a few days ago, this year’s party will be held on September 24th at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

We will also post the winners online that night for those who can’t make it to the show.

Without further ado, here are this year’s nominees…
(In alphabetical order by first name.)

Oh, and let us know in the comments who you would have voted for and who you think will win!

alright rob darden!

john | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-16 22:10:12

no.1 street rider is so hard to decide. all the dudes are nuts.

best vid= 2×4. so good.

mike aitken is by far the best dirt rider. so many moves, so much style.

Mike Hines | 12 Stoke Value | 2008-09-16 22:16:03

what about sexton?

Yeww | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-16 22:55:03

brad simms though…..

b | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-17 00:34:32

seriously no t-nez but he hasnt put out video parts. once he does i will be able to sleep at night again

token | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-17 02:11:24

for street its gonna be garrett reynolds or nathan williams. they both have been destroying it lately. i think reynolds is going to come out on top.

token | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-17 02:18:50

holy shit that dirt line-up is insane…chase hawk corey bohan and mike aitken have so much style and they are so smooth. chris doyle is a really nice guy but i dont think hes gonna come close to those 3.

chase hawk will blast higher then anyone and land like 20 times smoother. but he isnt all about tricks. he is still like my second favorite rider tho.

corey bohan more style than like anyone out there and big tricks to go with it.

mike aitken amazingly smooth and has super 360 combos. the fact that he just won at the last dew tour stop without doing any whips or flips gives him such an advantage right now. his style is so great. i think hes gonna take the win

style | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-17 02:20:41

dekota for sure

token | 0 Stoke Value | 2008-09-17 02:21:02
