The Rockstar Energy Drink athletes, Ryan Nyquist and Dennis Enarson make an international stand at one of the most prestigious and technical dirt jumping contests of the year, Elevation 2008, in the breathtaking Parque Metropolitano, in Guadalajara, Mexico. Up against the world’s best riders, Nyquist won Best Trick and scored a place on the podium with a silver medal, living up to his legendary status at this internationally proclaimed event. Ryan has consistently dominated since the inception in 2005 and this year was no exception! He dazzled the crowd and the judges in the Best Trick competition with his signature smooth Power Ball move and then went on to battle it out with Bohan to snag the silver medal with his huge 720 transfer during the winning sequence. Adding to the Rockstar Energy Drink winning roster, Dennis Enarson made it into the final with ease and finished up with a respectable 9th place out of 30 competing on a world-class level.

Heath Pinter, Rockstar Energy Drink team manager and athlete,

says “Dennis ran into some troubles in the best trick contest sliding out in the turn, knocking himself out, after pulling a 360 triple tailwhip”.

Luke Parslow also made the trip to Mexico but his appearance was short as he fell victim to a Guadalajara drinking water virus.

It is the fourth year of Elevation, the International BMX dirt jumping competition of the year, and already the Rockstar BMX Team has gained the respect of thousands of BMX fans internationally and nationally, as well as the reverence from their industry peers and judges. This progressive course, designed by BMX icon Jay Miron, was a perfect start to the highly charged BMX Season. So, keep your eye out for these and all of the Rockstar Energy Drink BMX crew at the first stop of the AST Dew Tour in Baltimore, Maryland June 19th-27th.
