Today was a practice day for the 20 riders that are going to compete in the first ever Nike 6.0 HB BMX Pro. We shot a handful of photos of riders like Daniel Dhers, Chase Hawk, Dennis Enarson, and others shredding the course and preparing for the four day event…

The shindig is set to go down tomorrow through Sunday (July 23-26) at the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California. The ramps have literally been set up on the sand, just a stone’s throw away from the crashing waves in Surf City.

We will be on hand at the contest each day bringing you photos, videos, and results, so stay tuned all weekend for the crazy action that is sure to ensue. Until the big show starts, go ahead and scope out these photos from today’s practice session.
