Bezanson faced stiff competition for the PlayStation® Pro Moment Award. Other Pro Moment nominees included:
· Corey Bohan (BMX Dirt), proved himself a master of improvising when he pulled tailwhip with his handlebars backwards to finish second in the finals.
· Austin Coleman (BMX Vert), completed an impressive double downside whip during the Finals.
· Sandro Dias (Skateboard Vert), pulled a technical gnar jar en route to his sixth place finish in the event.
· Chaz Ortiz (Skateboard Park), showed his dominance during the jam format with a kickflip frontside boardslide to kickflip out on the rail. This was one of many solid tricks he pulled off to earn his first win of the season.
· Adam Jones (FMX) landed a difficult turntable no handed can can and was rewarded with a win at the Toyota Challenge.
Benzanson wins $5,000, a PLAYSTATION®3 and a library of games to reward his skills. Online polls open on the Monday following each event.
Further, Benzanson will select his favorite amateur trick from the PlayStation Rising Stars presented by Woodward. The talented amateur selected will win a PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and library of games. But that's not all; their video will also be displayed next to the pro's at AST.com and on the PLAYSTATION@Network .
