Voting began after competitions ended on Sunday, June 25. Fans were able to view video clips and vote online at dewactionsportstour.com until Sunday, July 2. Fans selected Ryan Nyquist as the PlayStation(r) Trick of the Week winner after he performed a barspin no-footed can-can during the BMX Dirt Finals. Nyquist finished the contest in fourth place and is one of the top competitors in the Dew Tour BMX Dirt competition. "I'm really excited to win!

Nyquist faced stiff competition for the PlayStation(r) Trick of the Week Award. Daniel Dhers, a BMX Park competitor, completed a 360 no-footed can-can tailwhip during the BMX Park Finals.
