14 podium finishes, Garrett Reynolds, Van Homan and Sean Sexton were named team captains of the street specialty competition. As captains, each hand selected their two other teammates for the contest. Reynolds chose JJ Palmere and fellow Nike 6.0 rider Dennis Enarson, while Homan selected Randy Brown and Chase DeHart. Sexton opted for Aaron Ross and Danny Hickerson.
Filming time was designated to each team on the street course, and following the end of a 20-minute jam session that took place on June 26, each filmer edited the footage into a three-minute video. All three videos were available on allisports and RideBMX from Saturday, June 27 through Wednesday, July 1.
After judging the 20-minute jam session, along with the Walter Peringer-created video, the team of Sean Sexton, Aaron Ross and Danny Hickerson was selected as the winning team of the Nike 6.0 street specialty competition.
