Paul Rodriguez has recovered from his disappointing showing at Maloof by winning his third X Games Street gold. He edged out Njah Huston and Adam Dyet. That's right, my boy Dyet got a bronze medal in the X Games, I know who the drinks are on tonight at The Avalon.

A few of the tricks that paved P-Rod "The Road to El Dorado" included: a switch febble down the double set's rail, an over-the-gap to backside tailslide on the ledge, a switch heel down the double set and a switch tre down the double set. Just like his dad, Paul Rodriguez Sr., sure is funny, he sure can go switch.

Last year's winner, Ryan Sheckler, had to be helped off the course after hurting his ankle. Reports from the Sheckler camp say he's fine and has a slightly sprained ankle. That's nothing for The Sheck, I watched him throw himself down the Hollywood High 16 set at last year's Maloof with a dislocated elbow.

P-Rod has his new baby girl, Heaven, a new shoe on Nike and now a new X Games gold metal to add to his collection. Today was a good day indeed for Mr. Paul Rodriguez Jr.

FINAL RESULTS:
1. Paul Rogriguez
2. Nyjah Huston
3. Adam Dyet
