Seems a winter off hasn’t slowed Nyjah Huston down one bit if the first stop of the 2012 Street League Skateboarding event in Kansas City is any judge. After blazing his way through the finals he rolled away with $150,000 for the win and another $10,000 for best trick. Here’s how he did it:
By posting consistently high scores and dropping big moves, like a bigspin to backside Hurricane on the bump-to-rail in the Best Trick section, he maintained a top two position throughout. In the final Big Section, with Monster teammate Chris Cole and Bastien Salabanzi nipping at his heels, Huston threw it into overdrive unleashing tricks on the rails like Cab backside lipslide, 360-flip lipslide, and then the one that sealed the deal and earned him Best Trick honors, the kickflip backside noseblunt slide.
This was Street League win number five for Huston and we’re betting there will be a few more on the season. For complete results, follow the jump.
