The Nike 6.0 BMX Pro debuted a new format for 2011 at the Nike US Open of Surfing, with a combination live jam and filming contest. Each team consisted of three riders plus a filmer/editor, and the prize money was split evenly among all four. From Monday-Friday, the pros filmed on the course to produce the most progressive riding the beach has ever seen. The BMX Pro also consisted of two live jams, which impacted final scores, but the riding during the week is what the pros wanted to factor the heaviest into the scoring. In fifth place was Team Reynolds, consisting of
Garrett Reynolds, Augie Simoncini, Danny Hickerson, and
Kelly Bolton. The judges were blown away by
Reynolds' riding, but they felt the video relied too heavily on him instead of the full team.
