BANKSGIVING UPDATE: Both Wake events in FL and CA, are unfortunately on hold until further notice. The dates may change but the stoke remains the same. Hold tight and we’ll update you this Spring.

Welcome to Banksgiving, a four-stop traveling backyard jam session built to highlight regional rippers just like you. The menu is packed full of BMX and Wake banked features to shred, feasts to devour, a Nike Limited Edition 6.0 Shoe, and a heaping pile of free-flowing-mayhem.

Both BMX stops were backyard shreadfeasts to remember. For highlights from Nike 6.0 rider Garrett Reynold’s house in Tom’s River NJ click here. For highlights from local So-Cal pro Ben Snowden’s house in Santa Ana, CA click here.

Hook up your desktop with the Banksgiving poster to stay in the loop.

Did we mention the Nike 6.0 Limited Edition Shoe? Laser etched to perfection, the limited edition Banksgiving Air Insurgent was inspired by the build-anything, hit-everything theme of your daily shred feast. It’s set to drop in late November, so stay tuned for more details.

If you can’t make the road trip, you can still ride shotgun with the Nike 6.0 Insider, as we’ll take you firsthand to each event in a “for riders, by riders” fashion. Stay up, and keep checking back as we’ll continue to hit you updates and highlights from each of the stops as the shredfeast continues.

A huge win for Nike 6.0 Wake as last year’s Rookie of the Year, Nick Taylor, is named Wakeskater of the Year by Alliance Wake.

This fall, Nike 6.0 athletes were busy harvesting an abundance of medals and awards. Ryan Dungey was voted AMA Motocross/Supercross Rookie of the Year. Dungey had a killer beginning to the year, winning the Atlanta Supercross, followed by Indianapolis, Detroit and Vegas. A broken collarbone put him on the sidelines for the last few events, but that didn’t stop the masses from recognizing Dungey as a force to be reckoned with.

In BMX, Mike Spinner won the AST Dew Tour Trick of the Year for his 1080 at the Portland stop, the first ever in a competition, and finished 2nd overall in the Dew Tour Cup standings for BMX Park.

Three Nike 6.0 Surf athletes, Nat Young, Evan Geiselman and Riley Metcalf, were named to the US Surf Team. They have the chance to represent their country next year in the 2008 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in France. And congrats Nat, for your hometown win at the Coldwater Classic Oakley Pro Jr. in Santa Cruz, and to Riley Metcalf for scoring his first cover on the fall issue of Mundo Rad. Insane.
