Pros go to parks, shop around for unknown talent, ride with the locals, etc. At the end of each stop, the pros award a winner, then crown a winner at the end of the tour, who gets to go on the following tour and also wins sponsorships and the praise of his peers. They also make a great video documenting each tour.
