Nyquist Has Best Trick

Fans choose Ryan Nyquist as winner of the PlayStation® Trick of the Week for his Barspin No-Footed Can-Can at Dew Tours Panasonic Open. The Dew Action Sports Tour, the only season-long professional multi-sport tour in action sports, announced the winner of the PlayStation® Trick of the Week Award from the Panasonic Open in Louisville, KY. Voting began after competition in Louisville ended on Sunday, June 25. Fans were able to watch video clips of the top five tricks and vote for their favorite one online at www.dewactionsportstour.com until Sunday, July 2.

Fans selected Ryan Nyquist as the PlayStation® 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 Cup BMX Dirt competition. I’m really excited to win! The barspin no-footed can-can is something I’ve been working on for a while. Im also excited to be in the running for trick of the year," said Nyquist.

Nyquist faced stiff competition for the PlayStation® Trick of the Week Award. Daniel Dhers completed a 360 no-footed can-can tailwhip during the BMX Park Finals. Top BMX Vert rider Chad Kagy was also up for the Trick of the Week after flawlessly including a flatspin 540 tailwhip during the BMX Vert Finals. Freestyle Motocross winner Nate Adams was nominated after executing a backflip cordova, which helped seal his first place victory. Ryan Shecklers 270 into a backlip fakie during the Skateboard Park Finals helped lead him to a first place finish at the Panasonic Open. In the end, the online participants chose Nyquists trick as the best.

Nyquist wins $5,000 and his trick will compete for the PlayStation® Trick of the Year versus all the other Trick of the Week winners from other Dew Action Sports Tour events, including the upcoming Right Guard Open in Denver (July 13-16). Online polls open at midnight on the last day of each event.

Fans will vote for the PlayStation® Trick of the Year winner from the four Trick of the Week winners.

The winner will be announced during the Dew Action Sports Tour NBC broadcast on Sunday, October 15. The winning athlete will take home $10,000 in cash as well as other PlayStation® prizes.
