Dew Tour Nike Street Comp Highlights - Jamie Nicholls gets 2nd

The UK’s Jamie Nicholls once again staked a claim to being one of the best rail riders in the world at the inaugural Nike-sponsored Street Style contest in Breckenridge over the weekend. The course, which included some sick features like that concrete barrier rail that Jamie lands a 450 on to, or the dumpster seemingly designed for backflipping out of, was set up slap bang in the middle of a street in the town. With the competition running in a lose jam format, the session attracted some pretty sizeable crowds. Red Bull’s reporter described security being “nearly overwhelmed”.
