On Friday 29, amidst all the madness in CO, pro riders and a public audience came together for the 2010 TransWorld Rider’s Choice Awards. TransWolrd asked 125 pro riders to put it to a vote who they thought deserved the awards for the past 2009 season, and here is what they said:

Then TransWorld asked us, the readers, who we liked the best and our combined voices came up with:

Yeah Jah-N J! Kid is so sick, with a sick part, in a sick movie. The votes turned out right on that one hands down.
John Jackson is the man but Pat Moore should have won rider of the year
